There are a lot of exciting changes happening in the powersports industry right now. From electric motorcycles to smart helmets, brand announcements to innovative technologies. We love talking about and sharing all things motorcycles. Updated every business day.
BMW Motorrad has asked a Canadian metal sculptor to tackle an R 18 in the name of top-notch custom builds – and we’re expecting a beastie unlike anything the rest of the floor has to offer. Before we elaborate, readers should know that Jay Donovan is more than an artist with metal. Since completion of …
2003 Never Looked So Good Every time we smack into a top-shelf custom build, we’re impressed at how frequently minimalism plays a role in the final project. Take this badass 2003 Ducati Monster SR4, for instance. Labeled by HiConsumption as ‘proof that [Ducati] can get more badass,’ the build itself – completed by none other …
What do you do with an A2 license, loads of time on your hands, and an itch to travel? Break a record, apparently – and although MCN tells us the record is still being verified by the Guinness Book of World Records, the mid-pandemic feat itself is impressive, to say the least. The report tells …
We’ve just had word (and evidence of proof) that Kawasaki’s long-anticipated Ninja ZX-4R is really happening – and who knows, maybe we’ll see it in the West. This new beastie will purportedly share a similar high-revving engine as Kawi’s ZX-25R – a 250cc, four-cylinder bike from which the ZX-4R will also likely glean the “vast …
I think we can sit back and say that Ducati’s on a roll. Between signing on as the official electric motorcycle supplier for MotoE (succeeding Energica), releasing their all-new DesertX Adventure bike model at the climax of their World Premiere (let alone snatching the title of MotoGP Constructors’ World Champion for the second consecutive year …
Slovenia And Back on a Ducati SuperSport S I’ll admit, I was stoked to be given this interview. I knew Maja Kenney as a lively, fresh personality on her social media feed but had never met the woman face-to-face. Believe me, then, when I say that I left the chat grinning and with my fingers …
Earlier today, we hit upon a rather interesting report that showed the state of Massachusetts recorded over 40,000 fewer crashes in 2020 versus 2019. That number, we’re told, “only partially rebounded [in 2021].” Despite this, the state also recorded 408 collision-related casualties – 389 of those collisions being fatal to more than one person. That’s the …
MotoFest hasn’t taken place at the Daytona International Speedway since 2015 – so it seems only fitting that 2022’s Daytona MotoFest be inundated with a treat – and what better treat than two racers and a buggy skidding around the twisties, chasing a shiny medal? This is the first time that Daytona has seen sidecar …
Further, Faster…Lower? Just yesterday, we received word that Harley-Davidson’s new bike being revealed for January 26 was leaked – and unfortunately, no Bronx appears to be in sight. At least, not from what we’ve found. We may as yet stand corrected on this, so sit tight and puzzle this one out with us. A report …
We’ve got some patent images from VisorDown that have revealed details on the frame and suspension for Aprilia’s leaning trike prototype – and if they decide to carry through with the patent, we could be looking at a unique resurgence of the Mana 850 GT. In line with the current three-wheeled industry, Aprilia has chosen elements …
When we think museum, we typically think of our past, generously sprinkled with a bit of the present; relics of our history, preserved for the education and wonderment of generations to come. While this format has its place, there are some that also shift their focus forward the future – and there’s none that show …
If TRON’s Hooners Had Sidecars It’s not often that you see a bike build that includes a sidecar, let alone a project that puts a futuristic lean on the whole caboodle, but that’s exactly what the blokes at AOE Mobility did – and if you ask me, it kind of suits the bike better than …
