There’s a lot of great things happening in the world or motorcycles despite what’s going on in other aspects of the world.
Now that it’s Friday, I wanted to do a quick motorcycle news roundup of some of the most important stories that have come out in the last week or so.
Here are the stories that made the cut for the news roundup this time around.
Continue reading “Roundup: 3 Best Motorcycle News Stories of the Week – January 15, 2021”Single-cylinder motorcycles are some of my favorites. Yamaha’s XT600 bikes are some of the best out there. And this is a beautiful custom Yamaha XT600.
This particular bike built by Unik Edition who I have reported on before is a truly beautiful machine.
It’s a dual-sport, adventure, scrambler machine like no other.

With the Yamaha R6 going away (at least for a while) after the 2020 model year, I thought it best to take a good hard look at the bike and what it has meant to the motorcycling community in the last 21 years.
We will start with its introduction and go all the way through the model’s history as well as discussing its impact on the world of sportbikes. Let’s dig in.

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

I usually tell people the first thing they need to do if they have a classic motorcycle is to learn how to maintain it in its stock form. Then they can think about customization.
There’s nothing wrong with having a stock motorcycle. However, I completely get the appeal of a customized motorcycle. It allows you to put a personalized touch on your own machine and is quite clearly an art form. If you’re looking for a good bike, I have the list for you.

The ring-ding-dung bike is a truly great machine, but it also comes with some notable downsides, which is why you don’t see two-stroke street bikes today.
Still the motorcycle is a special machine and it makes me wish there were modern two-stroke motorcycles on sale today.

Without further ado, let’s dive into the the news stories of the week!
Continue reading “Roundup: 3 Best Motorcycle News Stories of the Week – August 7, 2020”The Yamaha Virago XV 750 is a great motorcycle, but when you think of it you likely don’t think of a killer cafe racer.
Well, that’s exactly what De Stijl Moto was able to do with this Virago.
The bike looks absolutely killer and it’s one of the best cafe bikes I’ve seen in a little while. Built with high-end components and painted a beautiful shade of green, this is a wonderful bike.
Continue reading “Yamaha Virago XV 750 by De Stijl Moto”I’ve talked about a lot of different types of motorcycles on this blog, but power cruisers have to be one of my favorites.
These are bikes that are cruisers but designed with high-performance engines that can rocket your from a standstill to highway speeds in no time at all.
I thought it best to put together a list of the top five power cruisers that are on sale today. Here are my picks.
