Used vehicle prices haven’t come back to earth the way a lot of buyers expected. Clean-title inventory is still expensive, dealer markups haven’t fully disappeared, and the affordable end of the market stays thin. More people have started looking at salvage auctions as a result,...
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
The MotoGP championship series visited the Brno Circuit last weekend. Ducati took wins in both races, with Pecco Bagnaia taking Saturday’s Sprint and Marc Marquez victorious in Sunday’s GP. Previously known for his poor qualifying efforts, Ai Ogura (Aprilia) took his first MotoGP...
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.
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...
Marc Marquez (Ducati) dominated the MotoGP race weekend at Hungary with pole position and wins in both the Saturday Sprint race and Sunday’s GP. Master of the counter-clockwise circuits like Hungary (no one turns left like Marc Marquez), despite recent surgery on his shoulder and...
“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...
Aprilia is already on a roll, and it dominated last weekend’s Mugello round. On Saturday, the Sprint was won by Raul Fernandez (Aprilia) with Jorge Martin (Aprilia) finishing second and Fabio Di Giannantonio (Ducati) finishing third. In Sunday’s main event, Aprilia again took the...
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 MotoGP championship series had a wild round at the Catalunya circuit last weekend. Heavy crashes and injuries, and two red flags during Sunday’s main event. On Saturday, Alex Marquez (Ducati) took the Sprint win ahead of Pedro Acosta (KTM) and Fabio Di Giannantonio (Ducati)....
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...
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...
