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.

Check Out the 2025 Honda Rebel 1100 Lineup

Ah yes, there’s a new 2025 Honda Rebel 1100, the entry-level cruiser turned pro thanks to the engine from the Africa Twin. I love that Honda has this bike, and by all accounts, it’s a killer machine. It’s great to see some updates for the lineup in 2025.

Matchless Motorcycle: The Alluring Legacy of an Iconic Brand

If you’ve ever caught sight of a Matchless motorcycle—or better yet, had the pleasure of hearing one rattle along a country road—then you know something about it just feels different. Not because of their rarity, although they certainly are rare. Not even because of their looks, though the old black-and-chrome beauties are stunning. Matchless motorcycles carry something more: a blend of grit, grace, and British engineering that’s all but vanished from the roads today.

Isle of Man TT Deaths: The Price of Speed in the Pursuit of Racing Immortality

The Isle of Man Tourist Trophy, better known as the Isle of Man TT, is a motorcycle racing event that inspires awe, passion, and fear in equal measure. For over a century, this legendary road race has pushed the limits of both man and machine, carving its place in the annals of motorsport history. But alongside its thrills, the TT also carries a somber distinction—the number of lives lost in its pursuit of speed.

What Motorcycle Is in ‘Road to Paloma’?

In Road to Paloma, the motorcycle isn’t just a mode of transportation. It’s a statement, an attitude, and a symbol of freedom. This 2014 indie film, starring and directed by Jason Momoa, is a road movie, but it’s not your typical loud, chrome-filled Hollywood biker flick. It’s quieter, more introspective, and a bit grittier.

And the bike? Oh, that machine plays a pivotal role in setting the tone for the entire film. So, what’s the bike that Jason Momoa’s character, Wolf, rides through the vast, open landscapes of the American West? It’s a 1956 Harley-Davidson Panhead.

The 5 Best Bobber Motorcycles: A Tribute to Stripped-Down Style

Bobber motorcycles have a special place in the hearts of motorcyclists, much like an old cowboy’s worn boots—they are stripped-down, no-nonsense machines built to deliver a pure riding experience. Traditionally, you couldn’t buy a bobber. You had to build it, but today you can get one from the factory.

Check Out the 2025 Yamaha MT-07

Yamaha has introduced the fourth-generation MT-07 for 2025 in Europe, with updates to the styling, chassis, weight, and features like ride modes and an optional automatic transmission. With the 2025 Yamaha MT-07 being such a big daddy in its lineup, the rest of the world will soon see this bike too.

What Motorcycle Is in ‘The Darjeeling Limited’?

Ah, The Darjeeling Limited—Wes Anderson’s oddball cinematic postcard from India. A film filled with surreal symmetry, quirky characters, and Anderson’s trademark sense of melancholy wrapped in deadpan humor. You might remember the Whitman brothers—Francis, Peter, and Jack—embarking on their spiritual journey across the Indian landscape via a vibrant train. But in between the contemplative glances and awkward familial moments, one curious piece of machinery appears—a modest motorcycle that, while understated, steals a little bit of the spotlight. And no, it’s not a flashy Ducati or a roaring Harley. Instead, it’s a simple, hardworking Honda Hero 100cc.

What Motorcycles Are Best for Winter?

Winter motorcycling is not for the faint of heart. The cold air cuts sharper, and the road’s unpredictability becomes even more pronounced. But for those who see a motorcycle not just as a machine but as an essential part of their daily routine or weekend adventure, winter doesn’t mean hanging up the helmet.

Check Out the 2025 Beta 450 RC Off-Road Racer

The Beta 450 RC is the company’s latest addition to the 2025 lineup. The dirt bike is designed to answer the call of riders seeking a do-it-all off-road machine. Building on the success of the 450 RX motocrosser, this beast offers a platform proven for its durability and performance but steps up with features to make it a true off-road race weapon.

Honda’s New CB300F Flex-Fuel Motorcycle

As motorcycle makers grapple with emissions and the quest for a smaller carbon footprint, some eye-catching tech is making its way from four wheels to two. Enter Honda’s CB300F Flex-Fuel—a 300cc streetfighter with a green agenda, aligning with India’s push for sustainability.
