This is a worldwide bike that will be sold starting in October 2021, so if you like what you see here, you’d better get ready for your new bike.

Feast Your Eyes on the MV Agusta F3 RR

MV Agusta says the F3 RR presents muscle at any angle. I have to agree. This is one handsome motorcycle.

The F3 RR features plenty of attractive stats and specs, but it’s the way the bike looks that will make this thing a winner. It’s beautiful.

Its chiseled design complete with carbon fiber trim and a roughly diamond-shaped headlight will haunt my dreams. But there’s plenty more to love about this bike than just its looks.

Built with plenty of pockets and rugged styling, the Chigwell will give you everything you need and more.

Kawasaki Is Working on a Hybrid Motorcycle With an Electric Supercharger

Kawasaki and supercharged bikes are nothing new, and rumors of a hybrid motorcycle have been swirling for a while, but now it seems Kawasaki will marry the two.

The company trademarked “E-BOOST” for various uses including hybrid and electric motorcycles. Now, electric bikes wouldn’t need a supercharger, but a hybrid bike could utilize an electric supercharger.

The world is getting weirder, and Kawasaki is on the cutting edge. I love the idea of a hybrid bike with a supercharger.

Your First Look at the MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RS

MV Agusta’s Brutale line of motorcycles is nothing new, but the Brutale 1000 RS is the latest addition.

This motorcycle takes everything that everyone already loves about the Brutale and adds a sport-touring slant to it.

State of New York Bans Sale of Internal Combustion Powered Vehicles After 2035

New York’s governor Kathy Hochul announced the signing of some new legislation that would ban the sale of vehicles that use internal combustion engines from 2035 on.

The electrified future is upon us whether you like it or not. Even if consumers don’t want it, state legislations do.

This bill signed would impact all cars, trucks, off-road vehicles, and equipment. Motorcycles and scooters are not specifically called out but it stands to reason they would be included.
