10 motorcycle publications, read every hour, newest first. Headlines and the publisher's own summary — the click goes to them, not to us.
Bimota has never really been in the business of making motorcycles for everybody. Since its birth in 1973, the Italian marque has made a name for itself doing things the unnecessarily complicated way: take a proven engine from somebody else's parts bin, build an outrageously soph...
Liter-class motorcycles haven’t exactly been accessible per se. Not just state-of-the-art superbikes that look like Greek goddesses, but even something as rugged and exposed as the Honda Africa Twin comes for upwards of $15,000. CFMoto clearly doesn’t like to play by the conventi...
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.

Personally, I’ve always loved the Yamaha XSR lineup. I think the 700 and 900 are brilliant-looking motorcycles that most people can hop on, ride practically anywhere, and have a ball while doing so. They offer something for modern motorcycle enthusiasts alongside a dose of authen...
How’d you like to have a real, honest-to-hellness, smash my inside goop and smear me like red-meat porridge while I scream, amusement park ride in your garage?Continue ReadingCategory: Motorcycles, TransportTags: Harley Davidson, Harley, Trike, Reviews
That didn’t take long. Just weeks after Harley-Davidson launched its blacked-out, stripped-back Deadwood, Indian Motorcycles has come out swinging with the Chief Vintage Sturgis, SD Edition. But here’s the plot twist: unlike its American rival, the Indian will be produced in limi...
For the world's largest motorcycle and two-wheeler market, you have an overwhelming number of options, considering more than 20 million units are sold annually. I’m talking about India, whose two-wheeler market is showing no signs of slowing down, with retail sales surging year-o...
Typically, if you’re in the market for a cruiser with an automatic transmission, you’d have precious few options. The closest mainstream offering is Honda's Rebel 1100 DCT, which starts at around US$10,400 – and even that swaps the traditional V-twin for a parallel-twin engine. I...
If you’re a scooter rider who’s looking to move up the ladder into proper, purpose-built motorcycles, whether that be functional street bikes, cruisers, adventure bikes or even an entry-level sportsbike, the step up can seem pretty darn big and pretty darn intimidating. UK bikema...
Benelli's story is a strange one. Once upon a time, it was one of Italy's most charismatic motorcycle manufacturers. Today, it's a Chinese-owned company with a catalog so broad that it almost feels like someone threw darts at a whiteboard full of market segments.Continue ReadingC...
Yamaha currently sells 25 motorcycles in America, and that doesn’t include two scooters and a fair few ATVs in its portfolio. That’s 10 motorcycle models more than how many Harley-Davidson currently offers. With the XSR900 GP, make that 26 motorcycles for Yamaha in the USA. Looks...
When you’re surrounded by motorcycle news day in and day out, very few stories make you stop in your tracks and go "no way." That’s how I felt when I first saw the Allen Millyard Dodge Viper V10 motorcycle back in the day. It’s a proper missile, powered by an actual 8-liter Dodge...
This one came out of nowhere. Honda recently took the stage in India to reveal not one, not two, not three, but a total of 10 new motorcycles for the country. I don’t remember the last time I saw a bikemaker come out swinging as strongly as this.Continue ReadingCategory: Motorcyc...
There was a time when "factory custom" sounded like an oxymoron. If you wanted a motorcycle that felt uniquely your own, you rolled it into your garage, skinned a few knuckles, emptied your wallet on aftermarket parts, and hoped the end result looked half as good as it did in you...
The coolest thing about electric motorcycles is just how open the market is. Anyone – literally anyone – with a compelling idea, a competent engineering team and a way to get bikes into Western showrooms has a fighting chance of becoming the next big thing. That's almost unheard...
American scooter. That’s an oxymoron right there. And an American electric scooter? That’s a far cry. While Americans are still slowly adopting electric bicycles and even motorcycles of late, e-scooters aren’t exactly the go-to choice for the USA as they have been in Europe and A...
Not too long ago, shopping for an electric dirt bike from an American manufacturer meant your options were few and far between. The segment was largely dominated by European innovators like Stark Future and KTM, while homegrown brands focused on electric bicycles or urban commute...
CFMoto got mile-munching adventure seekers drooling at last year's EICMA show when it revealed the 800MT-ES, which combined a punchy 799cc parallel-twin mill with a raft of riding aids. It's finally rolling out, starting with dealerships across the UK – at an awfully compelling p...
Just when you thought Stark Future couldn’t possibly outdo its Varg MX and EX off-road electric motorcycles, it goes on to launch limited-edition “Factory-edition” versions of the two fitted with all the bells and whistles you could have asked for.Continue ReadingCategory: Motorc...
“Stripped back” – moto publications are screaming this term at the top of their lungs for Harley-Davidson’s latest release. And for good reason, too. Technically, it is very much a softail, but scratch the surface, and you’ll find a stripped-back bobber underneath.Continue Readin...
There’s something endearing about one of the world’s most prestigious motorcycle makers almost disappearing into oblivion and making a full-fledged resurgence with a fresh approach. One that’s not only strategic but equally forceful, and might I say, incredibly ballsy.Continue Re...
In the event that we spiral into a dystopian hellscape ruled by evil corporations in the future, it seems pretty reasonable to turn to a life of crime, swiping data and selling cyborg spare parts on the black market.Continue ReadingCategory: Motorcycles, TransportTags: Custom Bik...
Ducati is no stranger to supermotos. The Hypermotard is perhaps one of, if not the most recognizable names in the category. What the Italian bikemaker was missing in its ranks, however, was a proper “racing Supermotard” in Ducati’s own terms. Lo and behold, here it is!Continue Re...
In 2006, Harley-Davidson did a thing. When it did this thing, some wee came out of me. It came out of a few other people, too. Which was perfectly understandable, as you will come to understand.Continue ReadingCategory: Motorcycles, TransportTags: Racetrack, Motorcycle, Harley Da...
I feel I look a bit like a bipedal killer whale in my Gimoto race leathers. I’m OK with that. Gives the fast bastards pause when they’re overtaking me on the racetrack. Makes them do it nice and polite. After all, we all go back to the same place when the racetrack business is fi...
