Street & Steel Oakland Boots

If you’re looking for some good cruiser boots or cafe racer boots, then you should check out the Street & Steel Oakland Boots.

These boots are part of Revzilla’s exclusive Street & Steel brand. Because Revzilla and Cycle Gear are teamed up, you’ll find these boots at both retailers but not on Amazon or other motorcycle boot retailers.

These are some high-quality leather motorcycle boots that blend high-levels of protection with classic work-wear style.

Royal Enfield INT650 Gallery & Videos

The Royal Enfield INT650 is one of the killer 650 motorcycles Royal Enfield sells, and it’s a great option for all sorts of riders who like classic styling.

I had a chance to ride one of these motorcycles at a motorcycle show not long after the bike was first released. It was a genuinely good ride. You can read all about that here.

The INT650 isn’t some speed demon, but it’s a very competent motorcycle overall.

Triumph Bonneville 900 Cafe Racer by Pi Customs

The Triumph Bonneville is one of the most loved motorcycles on the market today, and this particular Triumph Bonneville 900 Cafe Racer by Pi Customs is a perfect example of why.

The Bonneville is fine as a stock motorcycle, but there are plenty of customs out there that show just how great of platform this is.

Pi Customs does an awesome job with this bike.

Roundup: 3 Best Motorcycle News Stories of the Week – January 29, 2021

At the end of every week, I try to do a nice news roundup of the three most important stories in motorcycle news.

This week Suzuki, Norton, and Kawasaki all make the cut. There are old names coming back and new developments for iconic brands.

Let’s dive in and see what stood out this week.

Street & Steel Dakota Jacket

If you’re a fan of the classic leather motorcycle jacket, then you need to check out the Street & Steel Dakota Leather Jacket.

Street & Steel is a Revzilla exclusive brand (Cycle Gear and Revzilla are both Comoto companies so you’ll find this at Cycle Gear, too). This means it’s a unique offering, and it also means that Revzilla can offer a killer jacket at a super reasonable price.

If you’re looking for that classic look with the asymmetrical zipper and all of the old-school goodies, but want new-school construction, this is a jacket to consider.

Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE Gallery & Videos

Triumph first came out with the Scrambler 1200 XE in 2019.

The company revealed the Scrambler 1200 near the end of 2018, and the motorcycle was an advancement of the previous Scrambler model from the company that came out in 2006.

At the time of its release, the motorcycle was priced right at $14,000. That seemed high to some critics, but then this isn’t some simply restyled street bike.

Roundup: 3 Best Motorcycle News Stories of the Week January 22, 2021

I try to do a motorcycle news roundup at the end of every week. Just a quick look back through the most important news stories out there.

This week, BMW, Moto Guzzi, and Harley-Davidson all made the cut for the news roundup.

So, without further ado, let’s take a closer look at the news stories that really mattered this week.

Best Motorcycle Helmets for New Riders

Obviously, motorcycle helmets for new riders are important. They’re important for any rider not just new riders.

I usually consider every other piece of gear optional. While it would be good if every rider lived that ATGATT life, the simple fact of the matter is that most don’t and won’t.

However, every single person on two wheels should be wearing a helmet at all times. Some guys don’t like wearing a helmet, and that’s usually when I say you just haven’t found the right helmet. Here are my picks for the best motorcycle helmets for new riders.

Suzuki GSX-R 1100 Resto Mod Built to Honor Barry Sheene

If you don’t know about racer Barry Sheene, then you need to look him up or click on that link.

He was a badass racer, and Regular Moto, writing for Return of the Cafe Racers, found an amazing Barry Sheene tribute bike.

It’s a Suzuki GSX-R 1100 built to honor Barry Sheene.

Here are the stories that made the cut for the news roundup this time around.
