The 2026 Honda SCL500 doesn’t pretend to be a dirt bike, and it doesn’t need to. Honda’s little scrambler is one of the easiest, most likable motorcycles you can buy for around seven grand, and a rolling lesson in where the whole genre came from. The SCL500 is a genuinely interes...
I’ve been using the Insta360 X6 for a few weeks on both local and longer-distance rides. With all Insta360’s 360-degree cameras, I love that I can hit record and forget about framing; it’s all done later in editing, and I never miss a shot. The recently launched X6 is a definite...
One of the most important jobs I do at Ultimate Motorcycling is transporting motorcycles. Sometimes I’m swapping tested motorcycles for bikes that need to be tested. Other times, I have dirt bikes in the back. Sometimes, the testing area is remote, so it makes more sense to truck...

The supermoto class exists for exactly one reason: fun, full stop. Touring, comfort, and utility? Put that out of your mind, because we’re only here for a good time. At $13,399, the single-cylinder-powered 2026 KTM 690 SMC R is the motorcycle equivalent of a kid’s sugar-fueled ru...
The urban-focused, ultra-stylish Grace is another winner from Alpinestars, and this Alpinestars Stella Grace jacket review will tell you why. This mid-season jacket pairs effortlessly with a wide range of motorcycles. Its versatile styling made it my first choice when I headed to...
The E-Clutch is taking the Honda lineup by storm. It started with the Honda CB650R and CBR650R in 2024. For 2026, the automatic clutch system has expanded to the Rebel 300, Transalp, and the subject of this review, the CB750 Hornet. The E-Clutch isn’t an optional accessory. Inste...
I am well pleased to have tested the Metzeler Roadtec 02 tires out on just about every kind of California road, as that’s where the Ultimate Motorcycling BMW R 1250 RS project bike spent the last few months and 4,128 miles so equipped. The Metzeler Roadtec 02 debuted in January 2...
I spent several months riding with the 87 Octane Stock Improved ECU flash from 550Performance before stepping up to the 91 Octane Stock Improved version. I wanted enough seat time with that 0.5 horsepower, ECU-only increase before deciding on the next step for the Ultimate Motorc...
Just a few short years ago, having Apple CarPlay on your motorcycle was something of a luxury and not especially easy to find. These days, there seems to be no shortage of inexpensive aftermarket motorcycle CarPlay displays available. Spend five minutes browsing Amazon, and you’l...
While the Kawasaki KLE500 had a well-earned reputation as an adventure bike in Europe, it was virtually unknown in the United States. Running from 1991 to 2007, it was fondly remembered as a capable, versatile, and affordable adventure bike. Now, it is being revived globally in a...
As the owner of Whitney Auto Service in Southern California’s San Fernando Valley, my commute is 27 miles door-to-door, mainly freeway, with half of it being the infamous San Diego Freeway. On that route, the Yamaha Ténéré 700 is a two-wheel version of a monster truck. Ténéré 700...
The original Shoei RF-SR had a remarkable run. Nearly a decade on the market is a long tenure for any helmet, let alone one serving as the all-important gateway to a premium brand such as Shoei. It was a smart play by the Japanese manufacturer, giving riders an opportunity to exp...
The Insta360 Go 3S is a thumb-sized modular action camera designed for discreet video or photo shooting. It updates the earlier Go 3 with 4K video, deeper waterproofing, and a few extra features while keeping the same compact magnetic form factor. Pricing starts at $380 for the S...
A JT Sprockets steel rear sprocket review is something I’ve been looking forward to writing for nearly a year. Before I even picked up the Ultimate Motorcycling Honda CRF300L Rally Project Bike, I had already ordered replacement sprockets from JT Sprockets: a 13-tooth countershaf...
Most flashlights do one thing. You pick a wide beam for close work, or a tight beam for distance, and you live with the choice. The Olight ArkPro Ultra doesn’t make you choose. It packs four light-delivery strategies into a flat-sided aluminum enclosure the size of a folded multi...
Motorcycle gear has an annoying way of reminding you that you’re wearing motorcycle gear. Whether it’s bulky armor, heavy materials, or styling that practically announces you’re a rider, most riding pants involve some degree of compromise. The Pando Moto Robby Slim jeans are diff...
The motorcycles of today look like they’ve been pulled from the pages of science fiction: semi-active suspension with the ability to make adjustments in milliseconds, radar-assisted cruise control that will start and stop your bike for you (seriously, the KTM 1390 Super Adventure...
The 2026 Beta 430 RR X-Pro is the quiet sibling in Beta’s four-stroke enduro family. It sits between the 390 and the 480, and lacks an obvious hook. There is no headline displacement, and there’s no class it was built to win. Instead, it offers a spread of power that works almost...
The Fanttik X9 Pro tire inflator is a compact, lightweight, battery-powered air pump that works well for motorcycles, whether in the field or in the garage. Weighing a hair less than one pound and measuring just 4.9 x 2.9 x 1.8 inches with the hose detached, it will fit in any ca...
SRC Moto in Pendleton, Oregon, has a solution for better footing on the Honda CRF300L Rally. The stock seat height of the Rally is 35.2 inches, and we don’t all have 32-plus-inch inseams. My 29.5-inch inseam had me on tiptoes whenever I stopped the Ultimate Motorcycling Honda CRF...
We’ve enjoyed the MT-03 ever since it became available in the U.S. in 2020. The latest generation has a handful of updates that make this $4999 entry-level sportbike even more appealing. The 2026 Yamaha MT-03’s compact size keeps the novice-friendly motorcycle from being intimida...
The family of Royal Enfields powered by the 650 Twin keeps growing, and the Classic 650 is its sixth interpretation. Following the Interceptor, Continental GT, Super Meteor, Shotgun, and Bear 650, the 2026 Royal Enfield Classic 650 leans even harder into heritage styling, borrowi...
The modern superbike class is an arms race fought on several fronts. There’s still the battle for horsepower supremacy, fueling endless spec-sheet skirmishes on internet forums far and wide. Of course, the mid-2000s saw the rise of electronic rider aids, with engineers extracting...
Bridgestone’s longstanding Racing Battlax V02 slick earned a strong reputation among club racers and trackday riders for its excellent grip, durability, and feedback. That’s basically the holy trinity when discussing tires, and the V02 set a high bar for its successor. The new Br...
