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...
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.

It seems like the race for smart helmets is heating up. And when we’re talking of 'smart helmets,' the likes of Sena and Cardo are right up there with some notable Chinese helmet makers. And now, Sena has just launched its latest lid to up the ante.Continue ReadingCategory: Motor...
Royal Enfields are notoriously good at being the lab rat for all kind of customization. In fact, its Shotgun 650 was itself ‘inspired by custom’ per the company… and that bike is exactly what serves as the donor heart of this gorgeous one-off creation.Continue ReadingCategory: Mo...
Remember Dust Moto? I covered the largely impressive Hightail electric enduro a while back. It looks like the folks at Harley-Davidson’s electric spin-off, LiveWire, took notice, too. The American e-moto maker has just bought Dust Moto.Continue ReadingCategory: Motorcycles, Trans...
How often do we see snazzy new motorcycles pop up from relatively unknown brands, and how often do most of them seem to be missing a “soul”? Call me crazy, but I sincerely believe some motorcycles have souls. Even electrics.Continue ReadingCategory: Motorcycles, TransportTags: Br...
If you ever rode a small-bore sport bike, you’d know just how fun these motorcycles can be – especially out around in the city for short runs. I’m speaking really small: the Yamaha R 125, Kawasaki Ninja 125, and Suzuki GSX-R 125 category.Continue ReadingCategory: Motorcycles, Tra...
I have to start by addressing the elephant in the room – an equivalent of $40,000 (£29,000 precisely) for an electric motorcycle might be stretching it too far for most. But then, we all know there are a select few in the world who would treat it as pocket change.Continue Reading...
I admit, I was a little perplexed when I read the news that ZXMoto had become the first Chinese manufacturer to win a World Supersport race. Surely not? ZXMoto? Who’s that? So many questions. And when I started wrapping my head around the brand and the significance of this victor...
I must have covered about a dozen electric enduros in the span of the last few months, and that’s just scratching the surface. That should tell you about just how rapidly the electric enduro motorcycle space has blown up of late.Continue ReadingCategory: Motorcycles, TransportTag...
So this is what a Harley-Davidson Bagger would look like if BMW Motorrad made it. Not too shabby! BMW recently took to the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este on Lake Como to unveil the Vision K18 concept motorcycle, and it’s got the motorcycle industry on notice.Continue ReadingCat...
Norton Motorcycles’ comeback has been a long-documented story. The company has spent the better part of the last decade feeling like one of motorcycling’s great cautionary tales. Once a legendary British marque synonymous with Isle of Man glory and café-racer culture, the company...
All right, I admit it, I have a thing for affordable off-road electric motorcycles. There’s just something about a battery-powered, inexpensive dual sport that’s quiet, filled with torque, and almost as light as a lawn mower. Heck yeah!Continue ReadingCategory: Motorcycles, Trans...
Times are weird, and I guess weird times call for weird measures. At least, as per Honda, which thinks it's about time electric motorcycles replicated the old-school feel of gas bikes.Continue ReadingCategory: Motorcycles, TransportTags: Honda Motorcycles, Patent, Electric Motorc...
There probably isn’t any other bikemaker in the world that’s more synonymous with scooters than Kymco. It ranks right up there among top global scooter brands like Honda, Yamaha, and Piaggio/Vespa. Even in the USA, it’s relatively well-known, despite its small dealer footprint wh...
Harley-Davidson has been on an interesting trajectory of late. The company seems to have put big, heavy, chrome-laden cruisers on the back burner, at least for the time being, to focus more on lightweight, entry-level motorcycles. From the surprisingly capable Pan America 1250 to...
In a land far, far away is a motorcycle brand that has been around for longer than anyone can remember, yet it has spent the better part of the last few years in the shadows. I’m talking about Hyosung, which was born in South Korea in the late 1970s, building Suzuki-derived motor...
There aren’t many times in my life when I’ve seen a motorcycle command a price tag of over half a million dollars. But then again, there aren’t many motorcycles that come fitted with a 3.5-liter V8 engine from the Ferrari F355.Continue ReadingCategory: Motorcycles, TransportTags:...
When you think of Royal Enfield, you’d inevitably think of the Classic, the Bullet, and more recently, the Super Meteor – mostly bulky cruisers and retro motorcycles – because that’s essentially what the company has specialized in for a major part of its history.Continue ReadingC...
In my wildest dreams I couldn't have imagined that I’d ever see a 125cc motorcycle from China dressed in Ducati-like underpinnings. I’m not kidding – a proper liquid-cooled V-twin, a steel trellis frame, an aluminum single-sided swingarm … this might just be the coolest entry-lev...
