Scrambler motorcycles get my blood pumping every time, and this Yamaha Scorpio 225 Custom by Backyard Customs is a perfect example of why.
The bike is a rugged and beautiful scrambler. It was customized with care but built to not be a showroom piece. It was purpose-built.
Backyard Customs is a shop in Bali, and the buys at the shop did a wonderful job with this machine.

This jacket is excellent for warm weather because Klim’s Karbonite mesh material moves tons of air. It’s also quite strong, so it offers good abrasion resistance.
Overall, this is a killer jacket that you should consider for your summer riding. There are other mesh jackets out there, but this one puts most of them to shame.

Hondas always make for beautiful cafe racers, especially CB750 Honda motorcycles, and this one is no exception. The fact that it’s the Honda CB750 RC42 certainly helps its cause.
What’s exceptional about this build is the work the Kaspeed Moto did to make it look genuinely different and absolutely beautiful.

This week, the news comes in a few different forms from electric bikes to cybercrime, and even self-balancing bikes. Harley-Davidson, 2electron, and Honda are all the big news stories this week.
Let’s dive in.

While one-piece suits are common for racers, you’ll see fewer riders out on the road wearing them. That doesn’t mean they’re not really nice to have. For commuting and touring purposes, a one-piece suit can make all the difference.
Commuters face all kinds of weather, and so do touring riders. Because of that, you need something that’s highly versatile instead of highly specialized. One-piece motorcycle suits are just that.
They’re not the best in every situation, but they will do pretty well. That’s why I recommend every motorcyclist have a one-piece riding suit in their closet. Let’s take a closer look at one-piece riding suits and some good options.

I reported on the fact that the new Hellcat may be coming and then included the announcement in one of my news roundups, but I thought I’d take a closer look at the new Confederate Motorcycles Hellcat and Hellcat Speedster.
Confederate Motorcycles is alive and well. Once thought forgotten by many when the founders of the company started Curtiss Motorcycles, the Confederate brand continues to live on and be an important force in the motorcycle industry.
Continue reading “The New Confederate Motorcycles Hellcat and Hellcat Speedster”At the end of the week, I like to take a look at the motorcycle news stories I covered over at Web Bike World and showcase them here.

Continue reading “Roundup: 3 Best Motorcycle News Stories of the Week – June 5”I’ve written about motorcycle camping before, but one thing I didn’t touch on was motorcycle camping sleeping bags.
These types of sleeping bags are specifically designed for sleeping outdoors. While many of the brands that make them don’t always have motorcyclists in mind, they have some kind of active outdoor sport in mind, whether it be mountain climbing, hiking, or backpacking.
These activities provide a similar camping situation to that of the motorcyclist. That’s why many of these sleeping bags make for good motorcycle camping sleeping bags. However, there are some things you should know.
Continue reading “Best Motorcycle Camping Sleeping Bags”The Honda CB750 is one of my favorite bikes out there, and this CB750 Custom by MONNOM Customs is a totally killer bike. It transforms the CB into something new and different.
Kudos to MONNOM Customs for being able to take a bike that has seen so many different styles thrust upon it and still managing to come up with something new and unique.
It’s part cafe racer and part scrambler with some interesting lighting choices and a black paint job.
Continue reading “Honda CB750 Custom by MONNOM Customs”I write daily motorcycle news over at Web Bike World, and at the end of the week, I like to take a look at all of the news stories I’ve covered and do a nice motorcycle news roundup here on Wind Burned Eyes.
