Norton-Harley ‘Norley’ Custom Motorcycle by Cédric Camiade

This is “The Onyx,” a “Norley” forged by the hands of a French artisan named Cédric Camiade. A Norley, for the uninitiated, is a rare beast: a Harley-Davidson engine nestled within the graceful lines of a Norton Featherbed frame.

Cédric, a man steeped in the world of motorcycles, found his inspiration for this particular build while in Sri Lanka, mesmerized by a deep black onyx stone. The result? A motorcycle that wears that same elegance, a stunning interplay of black bodywork and gleaming chrome.

The Kawasaki Ninja 300 Could Be Coming Back

It’s not every day that a motorcycle makes a comeback, but it looks like Kawasaki is bringing back a fan favorite sportbike. According to recent reports, the Ninja 300 is set to return for the 2026 model year, re-entering the market as a formidable entry-level sportbike.

The BSA Bantam 350 Is In India to Challenge Royal Enfield

The original Bantam was a humble two-stroke that, in the years following World War II, helped put a nation on two wheels. Now, more than half a century later, the Bantam returns, but it’s a very different machine for a very different time. The new Bantam 350 is a modern classic, a bike that blends retro style with contemporary engineering.

The Triumph Thruxton 400 Launches in India

I’ve written about this bike previously, and I’ll be honest, I’m pretty excited about it. It’s good to see Triumph deliver on what had been rumored and discussed for so long.
