Video: The Honda ATC 125 Three-Wheeler Is an All-Terrain Killer

The Honda ATC is a three-wheeler designed to be tough as nails and ready for pretty much anything.

It’s an impressive machine in many respects, but the three-wheeled design of the bike makes it a bit difficult to ride.

In the video above FortNine does a detailed look at the three-wheeler, including why it was banned in the U.S.

VIDEO: 1982 Honda CM450 Review by Regular Car Reviews

The Honda CM450 is perhaps the perfect beginner motorcycle. Mr. Regular of Regular Car Reviews takes a closer look at this simple and in some ways perfect machine from Honda.

I say perfect in jest. This isn’t a perfect motorcycle, but it will teach you how to ride, and it won’t cost you much money, and that’s really all you want from a first bike.

Mr. Regular is a unique guy. He’s also one of the most insightful people when it comes to vehicles of any type. So, I hold his opinion in high regard.

The Honda Pacific Coast Is the Car of the Motorcycle World

The Honda Pacific Coast is one of the oddest motorcycles Honda has ever produced. However, it’s an interesting bike with an interesting story, and Ryan F9 of FortNine is here to tell it.

The bike is the car of the motorcycle world, as he puts it. It has a trunk, coverings for everything, and some clever engineering and design work that makes it easy every day.

Supercharged Honda GL1000 Gold Wing Custom Cafe Racer

This year has seen some odd and frankly horrible things, including a global pandemic, so as far as getting weird goes, I think we’re all entitled. This Supercharged Honda GL1000 Gold Wing cafe racer is the kind of weird I encourage.

The bike is the last thing you’d expect when you think Gold Wing, from the beautiful red paint to the low handlebars to the funky vertically oriented headlight.

It’s an odd bike and fitting one for 2020. Railman Mark Nevitt built it, and I’m sure glad he did.

Zack and Ari are now shooting vids for Revzilla, but they were with MotorTrend not long ago.

Recently, MotorTrend did a wonderful thing and uploaded more of the Throttle Out series with these guys to its YouTube channel.

FortNine: Vintage CB360T vs Modern CB300R

One thing that I often wonder is if modern bikes are really all that much better than old ones. They seem to do mostly the same things for more money.

FortNine wanted to tackle this very issue, so the team there put together a video titled “Vintage CB360T vs Modern CB300R.”

The result is a well-crafted argument by some of the best guys in the business.
