Here's Why Ebikes Can Be Dangerous In The Backcountry, But Not How You Think

I've ridden a fair few electric two-wheelers in my time. Some might be classed as mopeds; some are true motorcycles, and others are definitely e-bikes.

This Honda RVF750 RC45 Race Bike Is Looking For Its Forever Home

If there’s one bike that embodies the golden era of superbike racing, it’s the Honda RVF750 RC45. Built when Honda’s engineers had full creative control, the RC45 wasn’t just another homologation special—it was an engineering masterpiece. And this particular example? It’s not just any RC45; it’s a battle-scarred warrior with…

The Surfing Dog On This Motorcycle Helmet Has Viral Internet History

Helmets are more than just safety gear. They’re a statement, a piece of a rider’s identity, and in many cases, an extension of their personality. The motorcycle helmet industry has evolved beyond just engineering advancements, venturing into the world of art, culture, and self-expression.

Fellow Shorties, The Yamaha Ténéré 700 of Your Dreams Isn't Out of Reach

Yamaha Motors Japan recently announced plans to offer a new Ténéré 700 Low option at the end of March 2025. That's great news for customers in Japan, because it's generally good news when more Low and Tall seat options are available. I'm not a marketing wonk, but to my mind, the…

EV Motorcycle Maker Energica Is About to Be Auctioned Off, and It's a Steal

To paraphrase the great Three 6 Mafia, "It's hard out here for an electric motorcycle company." In the interim years, we've seen countless startups and OGs fall, and all for different reasons.

Selling Public Lands to Fix the Housing Crisis Is a Lie, Don't Believe It

Decades ago, homes were affordable. You could work a single job and pay for a modestly nice place to hang your hat. And most families could afford such a home on a single salary, meaning one person could theoretically stay at home and either not work, pursue a passion project,…

2025 Suzuki GSX-S1000GX Gets Sleek And Sporty New Colors, But Only In Japan

I think we can all agree that Suzuki is a brand that’s not all about chasing the fanciest tech or going toe-to-toe with the big boys of performance. The way I see it, Suzuki’s just been fine with observing the game, sort of from a distance, and just rolling out…

Florida Man Steals Motorcycle and Crashes, Tells Cops He Doesn't Know What Happened

It's a joke. It's a meme. It's reality, which is sorta sad when you think about it. But each and every day, the internet becomes filled with headlines of Florida Man, a mythical hero who sacrifices themselves at the base of the altar of the interwebs, all in the pursuit…

Schuberth Partners With Cardo to Launch More Seamless Motorcycle Comms System

I'll be honest, although I don't think anyone could accuse me of holding my tongue, but I don't like how motorcycle communication systems look on a helmet. You have this awesome, aerodynamic helm that's got dope graphics, great features, and cuts through the wind perfectly and then you go and…

Keanu Reeves Shows Just How Cool He Really Is, Launches "Visionaries" Docuseries

Motorcycles change people. Everyone I know who rides is either the most down-to-earth fellow out there, or gives instant bro energy from the moment we meet—and yeah, it doesn’t matter if they’re a dude or dudette or anything in between. And the same is true with celebrities.

All the Best Vintage Japanese Bikes Are In Wisconsin, Change My Mind

If you've been following my work for a while, you're probably aware that I have a certain fondness in my heart for '80s and '90s Japanese bikes. Very specifically, I tend to be a Honda girl (see my Hawk or my VF500F Interceptor as exhibits A and B), but I'm…

KTM Says Everything Will Be Fine, But Should We Believe It?

"KTM is saved!", many outlets proclaimed a few short weeks ago when the Austrian insolvency courts stated that the company, its debtors, and its shareholders had come to an agreement on how to move forward after basically declaring bankruptcy last year. They were saved! Production is set to resume. And…

We’re Digging Motorcycle Rental Company EagleRider’s Massive Rebrand

For over 30 years, EagleRider has been the go-to name for riders looking to hit the open road without the commitment that accompanied actually owning a bike. Throughout its existence, EagleRider has been associated mostly with Harley-Davidson, as it pretty much built its business on Harley rentals.

Remember That 300 Horsepower Turbocharged Motorcycle, Well It's Being Crowdfunded

Starting a business these days seems almost like an impossible task. You've got onerous governmental regulations, small business loans drying up, and just the general hardship of seeing your vision executed has left many to abandon their dreams.

Hot off the heels of RideApart discovering Polaris' upcoming all-electric RZR UTV, we've got another electrifying—Dad Jokes, I've got them all!—patent discovery. This one, however, is all about that white powder. And no, we're not switching to EscobarApart. At least not yet.

The Hardest Enduro Motorcycle Race Ever Is Coming Soon, and We're Stoked

My favorite place to ride a motorcycle is in the dirt. Whether that's just trail running on something like Royal Enfield's Himalayan 450, hitting up my backyard's dirt bike track on Niu's XQi3 or Dust's Alpha1, or railing along some single track on whatever has the knobbiest of tires currently…

The Vivel Trike Isn't a Motorcycle or a Car, But Some Weird In-Betweener

The world of mobility is shifting. Gone are the days when the default choice was a massive gas-guzzling SUV or a hulking pickup truck—or at least, in some parts of the world. Cities are embracing smaller, more efficient, and more eco-friendly ways to get around.

When you hear the words "bike build off," what goes through your mind?

The Aprilia RS 660 Factory Is Coming, and It Looks Scrumptious

There's something eminently admirable about a tasty, capable middleweight motorcycle, isn't there? Sure, it's the superbikes and CVOs that turn heads, among both riders and non-riders alike. And conversely, depending on where you live, it's the small-displacement machines (and maxi-scooters) that are the everyday workhorses.

Harley Just Dropped the Brand's Cheapest Offering's Price, But That Isn't the Issue

There's no denying that inflation has caused the powersports market to contract. Nearly every brand is reeling from lower consumer confidence, as well as stagnant wages and the dollar just not being worth what it once was. And the brands playing in the premium market have suffered the worst portions…

I’m Literally Drooling Over This Ceramic Ivory Japan-only Yamaha Colorway

Nostalgia sells. It always has, and the motorcycle market is no exception. The so-called "retro tax" is alive and well—just look at all the café racers, scramblers, and sportbikes with classic styling that command a premium over their more "vanilla" counterparts. Why? Because motorcycles are emotional machines. If pure practicality…
