Honda Creates a New Wheel and Brake Design

The Honda CB1000F SE Concept Is Hitting Production Soon, Make No Mistake

The CB1000F SE is a modern interpretation of the classic UJM (Universal Japanese Motorcycle) design, blending retro aesthetics with modern performance and technology. We don’t know when it will come, but I’m willing to bet it will be soon.

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.

2025 Honda NT1100 DCT – 5 Things to Know

They don’t make road bikes like they used to—and thank goodness for that. The 2025 Honda NT1100 DCT is proof that modern engineering can still stir the old soul.

The Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap boasts a reputation as the road to ride or drive for motoring enthusiasts. Recently, I had a chance to visit America’s number one motorcycling and sports car road. And I stayed at the historic Tapoco Lodge in Robbinsville, North Carolina.

This lodge is a mere few minutes from Deals Gap and the start of the Tail of the Dragon, and if I were to visit the area again (I sincerely hope I will get to sometime soon), I would stay here again.

Small Bikes, Big Fun: Why the Tail of the Dragon Belongs to the Lightweights

They call it the Tail of the Dragon—eleven miles of relentless, coiled pavement twisting through the Smoky Mountains, with 318 curves so tight they could snap your concentration in half. It’s a place where dreams go to lean, scrape, and occasionally low-side into the trees. The speed limit is 30, the shoulders are nonexistent, and the margin for error is about the width of your front tire.

And I’m here to tell you: leave the big bikes at home. The Dragon belongs to the little guys.
