Harley-Davidson has announced that Artie Starrs, a man known for his work at Topgolf, will be taking the helm as its new CEO. This appointment is more than just a changing of the guard; it’s a bold new direction for the Motor Company.

Custom Honda XR400R by Prutti

This is a custom Honda XR400R, a true “Baja-Style Weapon,” forged by the hands of an Australian builder and content creator known as Prutti. The Honda XR400R, first unleashed in ’96 and revered for its rock-solid reliability long after its 2004 production end, was the perfect canvas.

Prutti’s vision? To craft the “ultimate middleweight XR,” a machine that blended style, nostalgia, and the kind of hard-nosed functionality needed for multi-day expeditions deep into the bush.

You Can Now Take Your Motorcycle Exam on an Electric Motorcycle

Custom Triumph Bonneville T100 by Heiwa Motorcycles

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.
