10 motorcycle publications, read every hour, newest first. Headlines and the publisher's own summary — the click goes to them, not to us.
We’ve covered quite a few sidecar motorcycles here in the past. Of course, you’ve got your mainstream Urals, but then there are others – not as mainstream, but equally distinctive, like the custom Ducati sidecar motocrosser or the electric enduro sidecar from Kalashnikov.Continue...
"You know what? I think we've been doing motorcycles all wrong." That's the thought that crossed my mind the moment I looked at the new LiveWire S4 Honcho motorcycles.Continue ReadingCategory: Motorcycles, TransportTags: Harley Davidson, livewire, Electric Motorcycles, Off-road,...
Headlines and summaries belong to the publications that wrote them, and every link on this page goes to the publisher. MotoGossip stores no article text.
You get to a certain age, and you become selective about what makes you fizz. Stuff that once made you soil yourself with adrenal joy doesn’t visit much no more. Things that made your red-eyed soul sing and howl are few and far between.Continue ReadingCategory: Motorcycles, Trans...
We're coming up on a year since Canadian upstart Beachman unveiled its beautiful '64 electric motorcycle, which was dripping in retro style. It's now set to launch the Aviator, a similar café racer with its own subtle design flair and essential quality-of-life upgrades.Continue R...
Naked motorcycles are probably the most fun road-going motorcycles money can buy. And when you’re talking about nakeds, KTM’s Dukes are up there with some of the best in the world. Of that entire Duke lineup, it’s the 790 that has fascinated me the most, offering the sweet spot o...
“I love these things!” I exclaimed to Paul when he wheeled it out of his van. “They are crazy good!”Continue ReadingCategory: Motorcycles, TransportTags: BMW, BMW Motorrad, Naked bike, Motorcycle
When you have the longest-running production motorcycle in your hands, the responsibility to carry it through changing times is unparalleled. The Royal Enfield Bullet has existed since 1932, and in all its years of existence, it's never been offered with an engine as big as this....
A British engineering shop is busy cooking up a wicked way to get in trouble: a liter bike with 280 hp on tap that can properly tear up any stretch of tarmac before you can blink.Continue ReadingCategory: Motorcycles, TransportTags: cafe racer, Two-stroke, Custom Bikes
There haven’t been too many companies like CFMoto. Barely a decade ago, the brand was largely viewed as a budget-focused Chinese manufacturer building practical commuter bikes and ATVs while the industry's performance spotlight remained firmly fixed on Japan and Europe.Continue R...
I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve embarrassingly drooled over motorcycles that are not available for public use. Most of them have been good ol’ fashioned ICE motorcycles, not this one, though. It’s electric, and it’s making my ICE-loving heart feel guilty.Continue Read...
Retro-styled electric motorcycles seem to be the new flavor among e-moto manufacturers. In the last few months alone, I must have seen, ridden, and written about half a dozen at least.Continue ReadingCategory: Motorcycles, TransportTags: Electric Motorcycles, Retro, New Zealand
Just a year after the company's first foray into motocross bikes, Ducati has unveiled the Desmo250 MX, a fire-breathing featherweight built to dominate tracks with possibly the highest revving engine in its class.Continue ReadingCategory: Motorcycles, TransportTags: Ducati, Dirt...
“Less is more.” How often have we heard that? CFMoto’s latest motorcycle embodies that philosophy, especially in a class that has not just been growing in popularity, but also in the size of the motorcycles themselves. This one’s simple and straightforward … and I like that.Conti...
There’s something poetic about a British motorcycle manufacturer founded at the turn of the 20th century – one whose first “motorcycle” was a literal bicycle powered by a Belgian Clement engine – staging a comeback with thoroughly modern motorcycles and all-new powertrains.Contin...
The last time I talked about SYM (Sanyang Motorcycle) was when I covered the Cruisym 400 scooter. Terrific value for a capable maxi scooter in a sea full of full-sized scooters. It just so happens that we’ve got another one of SYM’s scoots that’ll make you question whether gettin...
It seems small-bore motorcycles are finally being given a fair shot in the USA. Kawasaki is the latest bikemaker to introduce, or rather reintroduce, an entry-level sports bike to its Stateside lineup. The Ninja 300 makes a comeback nearly a decade after it was discontinued.Conti...
Usually, when you’d talk about beginner motorcycles, you’d think of lightweight, low-speed, and most importantly, low-cost options – of which there are plenty. In the electric segment, although prices jump a bit compared to their ICE counterparts, entry-level e-motos largely foll...
Kawasaki just did the unpredictable. Just when most of us thought the era of two strokes was over, the Japanese bikemaker has just released its first big two-stroker in more than two decades.Continue ReadingCategory: Motorcycles, TransportTags: Kawasaki, Two-stroke, Enduro, Off-r...
