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.
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.
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 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.
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.Â

The latest news roundup over at webBikeWorld.com shows all the latest electric motorcycle news.
I write for that website, so I thought I’d share the latest roundup from over there. Here’s a look at how electric motorcycles are quickly progressing in the industry.
Make no mistake about it. Electric motorcycles are the future, and if you’re looking for the next big thing, electric motorcycles are certainly going to be it. The only thing is that there aren’t a ton of them out there right now. More and more of them are coming out every year, but there’s still a long list of manufacturers who haven’t come out with their own electric motorcycles yet.
It will be really great when Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha enter the electric motorcycle space. Until then, these machines will likely continue to be a bit of a nice item.
There are some new players in the space, though. Damon motorcycles comes to mind, Harley’s new LiveWire brand is out there, and Zero continues to soldier on with its nice lineup. Zero has the jump on everyone, but that gap is certainly shrinking each and every year. It will be interesting to see what happens.
Black and copper pair well together on this cafe racer.
