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.

Custom Triumph Bonneville T100 by Heiwa Motorcycles

This custom Triumph Bonneville T100, born from the legendary workshop of Japan’s Heiwa Motorcycles. Kengo Kimura, the quiet genius behind Heiwa, is a man known for conjuring both wild showpieces and these delightful, everyday custom machines.

For this particular project, Kimura-san chose an older, air-cooled 2000 model Bonneville T100, packing a 790cc engine. A smart choice, as these are more accessible and perfectly suited for what he envisioned: a true “bar hopper.”

Fewer than 400 Charging Stations Built Despite $7.5 Billion In Federal Funding for Infrastructure

Sometimes, even the grandest plans hit a roadblock, not of asphalt, but of bureaucracy. Such, it seems, is the tale of America’s electric vehicle charging stations. Another of the many failings of the US Federal Government.

Fewer than a measly 400 charging stations were built despite there being $7.5 billion approved for Infrastructure spending under Biden. So if you want to ride electric motorcycles, you’re still pretty limited on where you can go.

The Triumph Thruxton 400 Is Coming Soon

For too long, the Thruxton has been a machine of noble displacement. But now, a new chapter is set to begin, proving that big character doesn’t always need a big engine.

Word on the street is that Triumph is readying a pint-sized Thruxton for an August debut: the Thruxton 400. Born from Triumph’s clever partnership with Bajaj, it’s designed to bring that heritage, that feeling of pure, unadulterated motorcycling, to a wider audience, in much the same way the Scrambler 400X does.

The KTM 790 Adventure and 790 Duke Were Cut From the US Lineup

The winds of change blow through the motorcycle world, and sometimes, they carry a whisper of what’s no longer coming ashore. KTM has, with a quiet nod, pared down its American lineup.

For a while there, we saw the 790 Duke, a sharp street scalpel, and the 790 Adventure, a capable wanderer, gracing the virtual showrooms. But now, like a desert mirage, they’ve simply… faded from the U.S. website.

Custom Triumph Scrambler 900 Named ‘Anet 157’ by Tamarit Motorcycles

Now, let’s talk about a machine that truly knows how to get its boots dirty, hailing from sunny Spain. This is “Anet 157,” a custom Triumph Scrambler 900, brought to life by the skilled hands at Tamarit Motorcycles for a fellow named Luiscar.

Luiscar, a man of patience and purpose, opted for the 900 over the bigger 1200, knowing full well he wanted some coin left over for a proper transformation. He admired its grit, its style, and its readiness for both the asphalt ribbons and the dusty trails.

Take a Look at the 2026 Triumph TF 250-X

The dust, my friends, never truly settles on the motocross track, and Triumph is once again stirring it up with their latest weapon: the 2026 Triumph TF 250-X. This is a dirt bike that is a finely tuned scalpel, honed for the cutthroat dance of the dirt.

They say you can’t improve on perfection, but Triumph’s engineers, bless their determined souls, clearly didn’t get the memo. This quarter-liter brawler, a beast that’s already been sniffing podiums in the brutal arenas of Supercross and MXGP, has been given a good going-over for the new season.

Singapore Investors Save Energica

The road of invention, my friends, is a bumpy one, full of twists and turns, and sometimes, a dead end that looks mighty final.

Such was the tale of Energica, that Italian outfit with dreams of electric fire, building two-wheeled wonders like the Ego and Eva Ribelle, silent rockets meant to stir the soul, not just get you to the grocery store.

LiveWire New Bikes: Two New Models

The future arrives with a silent hum rather than a thunderous roar, at least for LiveWire. At the grand Harley-Davidson Homecoming, where the very air usually vibrates with V-twin symphony, LiveWire pulled back the curtain on a pair of electric whispers that just might redefine the trail ahead.

These two-wheeled notions – a street scrambler and a dirt-loving trail bike – are lean, agile, and packing a punch roughly equivalent to a 125cc gasoline engine. Think of them as urban sprites or woodland fairies, silent and swift.

BMW R100/7 Custom by Motor Force

Alright, now we’ve got a truly special machine to talk about. This is “Tsurugi,” a custom BMW R100/7, a ten-year anniversary build by Motor Force, and let me tell you, she caused quite a stir at The Bike Shed Show in London.

Mikio Yamada, the man behind this metal marvel, poured countless hours into transforming a humble R100/7 donor from 2022 into this singular creation.

The 2026 Triumph Scrambler 400 XC Is Here for Adventuring

The horizon beckons, and Triumph has heard its call with a delightful new machine that whispers tales of dirt roads and sun-drenched adventures.

Feast your eyes upon the 2026 Triumph Scrambler 400 XC, a fresh chapter in the book of two-wheeled joy that proves you don’t need a thousand cubic centimeters to stir the soul.
