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

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.

Continue reading “Summer Discounts on Select Harley-Davidsons”The rumble of a new engine echoes down the highway of life, and Suzuki, bless their hearts, has uncorked a pair of beauties for the open road: the 2026 GSX-8T and GSX-8TT.
I mentioned these were coming not long ago, and they’re here. These bikes are an ode to the golden age of riding, with a wink and a nod to the future. The GSX-8T is a handsome motorcycle, and the GSX-8TT is its sportier sibling.
Continue reading “Suzuki Launches the GSX-8T and GSX-8TT and They’re Gorgeous”Here’s the Thunderbike RockSTar, a custom machine born from the bones of a Harley-Davidson Low Rider ST.

Continue reading “Thunderbike RockSTar Harley-Davidson Low Rider ST Custom”The rumor mill, that tireless beast, has been grinding out tales of a new Kawasaki, perhaps a revival of the beloved ZRX. The Kawasaki ZRX was a beast, and it would be so cool to see it make it back into the lineup.
But hold your horses, for the tea leaves, as seen in patent filings and type approvals across the oceans, whisper a different truth. It seems the green machine is cooking up a Z1100 SE. That is still a welcome addition to Team Green’s lineup.
Continue reading “Could a New Kawasaki ZRX Come Next Year or Is it Something Else?”The road, my friends, is a tapestry woven with endless tales, and today’s yarn spins around a pint-sized marvel. Feast your eyes on the CFMOTO Papio XO-1, a machine that whispers sweet nothings of yesteryear’s speed and daring, all wrapped up in a package barely larger than a hound dog.
This is a defiant nod to the literbikes and the over-engineered speed demons you see on the road and track. The Papio XO-1 is motorcycling at its best. It looks small. It looks fun. And it won’t break the bank either.
Continue reading “The Fully Faired CFMoto Papio XO-1 Brings Retro Min-Moto Cool”Here’s a look at “Melissa,” a custom 1998 Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200 Chopper, crafted by Pittsburgh musician Dan Ford.
This machine, brought to life just in time for the Glory Daze event, embodies the classic Sportster chopper aesthetic: a flame-adorned tank, a distinctive custom sissy bar, and a robust springer front end. Its black and yellow color scheme is a clear nod to its Pittsburgh origins.
