Motorcycles – So Many Choices

The world of motorcycles is a robust one. There’s a motorcycle designed for pretty much every use out there. The companies selling bikes are trying to appeal to every area of the market from the folks who love to cruise to the racers to the adventurers.

Then there’s the custom bike scene. Geniuses, craftsmen, artists take motorcycles and turn them into rolling pieces of art.

I try to cover a little bit of it all. From the new bikes rolling off the production lines at the various motorcycle manufacturers to the littlest of custom shops and individuals tinkering around in their sheds.

Types of Motorcycles

Here are the main types of motorcycles I typically write about on this site.

Note that this isn’t an exhaustive list, and the article linked above about the different types of motorcycles will explain the full picture.

Motorcycle Brands

The fun doesn’t stop with the various types of motorcycles. There are also tons of brands that sell each type of motorcycle. I’ve written an article on the different motorcycle brands out there, and that should give you a pretty clear idea of what you’ll find.

Motorcycle Engine Size

Motorcycle type and the different brands matter a ton, but I often find myself and other riders classifying motorcycles by their engine size or displacement.

This is typically how the industry categorizes motorcycles. You’ll see a 250cc class, a 600cc class, etc. To learn more, check out my article on the various engine sizes out there in the world of motorcycles.

Motorcycles and Prices

Lastly, I want to talk about the price of motorcycles. Everyone has to work in a budget, and you can buy a nice bike for very little money, but you can also spend a ton.

Price is a big deciding factor, and I would hope you take it into account. Here are my thoughts on motorcycles and their prices.

Below are the latest articles on various motorcycles.

Moto Guzzi Reveals V100 Mandello and Plans for a New Production Facility

Moto Guzzi celebrates its 101 years in business this year. As a part of that, the company revealed the V100 Mandello and announced its new facility in Mandello del Lario, Italy.

This new bike will be the main push for the new futuristic facility, according to Motorcycle.com.

The V100 Mandello’s reveal is really more of just a teaser. While there are full images of the bike, not all of its details have been revealed.

How Much Do Motorcycles Weigh?

The basic answer to the question of “How much do motorcycles weigh?” is that it varies from bike to bike.

There’s no one answer to it. Each motorcycle has its own weight, and while there is a general range, it really depends on the style and size of the bike.

So, let’s take a closer look at motorcycle weights and what you can expect.

Cake Reveals the Makka Polestar Edition

Just a few days ago, I posted an article about the new Cake Makka. Now there’s the Makka Polestar Edition.

Both Cake and Polestar are committed to an electrified, clean future of mobility, and this partnership that birthed the Cake Makka Polestar Edition makes perfect sense for both brands.

The bike is mostly just a fancy version of the Makka, but the tweaks to the model are notable. Let’s take a closer look.

Honda Is Auctioning Off Three Repsol CBR1000RRs for Charity

The Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation’s Ride for Kids is a big thing that’s happening in September. And Honda is a sponsor, and now it is auctioning off three Repsol-edition CBR1000RR sportbikes.

The bikes are from Honda’s own private collection, and each has zero miles. These bikes will be auctioned through Iconic Motorbikes and the proceeds will go to the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation.

The auction will happen from September 3- 10 and the ride will happen on September 12.

BMW Motorrad Reveals the Electric Concept CE 02

If you’re a young urbanite who loves all things two wheels, then you’re probably on board with the electrified future, at least BMW Motorrad’s Concept CE 02 assumes that.

The new concept bike from BMW is a sort of mashup of an e-bike, motorcycle, and scooter into one machine that’s designed to appeal to the next generation of riders.

This bike won’t blow away sportbikes on the road or cruise like a Harley, but that’s so far from the point. This is a new kind of electric motorbike.

There’s Still Time to Partake in the Ride for Kids Fundraising Campaign

If you’re the kind of rider who wants to help the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, then listen up.

The Comoto family of brands, including Revzilla, Cycle Gear, and J&P Cycles announced a month-long Ride for Kids campaign.

I’m late in announcing it, but if you use Rever, you can still participate.

Cake Reveals a New Bike, the Makka

Cake has a new bike in its lineup called the Makka. This new bike is billed as a true commuting machine, and it sets itself apart from the Kalk and the Ösa that the company already sells.

The Makka is the third real design coming from Cake, and it looks like a good, purpose-built machine.

It’s built for the urbanite who needs something better than an electric bicycle but doesn’t need some big motorcycle either.

What You Need to Know About Motorcycle Wraps

If you’re ready for a new look for your motorcycle, you might be thinking about motorcycle wraps.

Doing some kind of vinyl wrap on your motorcycle can be a really great way of enhancing it visually and getting your bike a fresh new look.

But are motorcycle wraps really the best way to go about doing that? Let’s take a closer look at this to help you decide if a wrap is right for you.

Harley-Davidson Reveals the Arctic Blast Street Glide Special

The new Harley-Davidson Arctic Blast Street Glide is a limited edition release of the Street Glide Special.

Harley recently revealed the new version of the bike. This comes after the Pan America and the Sportster S, so as you can imagine, this bike has had its limelight stolen.

This new bike has a brand new colorway. It’s a unique white, light blue, and dark blue blend that to me looks really good.

What Motorcycles Do Police Use?

I used to love to see motorcycle cops as a kid, and recently I began to wonder just what motorcycles do police use?

Not just American police officers, but motorcycle cops everywhere. Law enforcement utilizes all kinds of vehicles, and obviously, motorcycles are my favorite.

So, without further ado, let’s dive into the topic of what motorcycles do police use?
