Yamaha’s Bikes Now Get a 10-Year Warranty, But Only In India

Warranty. It’s a many-splendored thing. In a way, it’s the manufacturer telling you, “Hey, we got your back.” And that promise? It matters. Especially when the going gets tough. Whether it’s a busted sensor, a faulty injector, or just your daily grind through unpredictable weather and gnarly road conditions. As…

Go Behind the Scenes at Mud Nats, the Gnarliest ATV Event Ever

This Oddball Electric Scooter Is More Than Just a Throwback

Before electric scooters were cool—or even a thing—the streets of East Germany were buzzing with the unmistakable whirr of the Simson Schwalbe. First introduced in 1964, the smoky two-stroke scooter became a beloved icon, with over a million units sold before production wrapped in the mid-’80s. Fast forward to today,…

KTM Just Recalled Over 20,000 Dirt Bikes for a Major Crash Hazard

While we've focused on KTM at large for the better part of the last seven months, largely due to all the corporate financial issues the brand has faced, I have wonder what's going on with GasGas and Husqvarna recently. If you didn't know, KTM's parent company owns the two and…

This City Is Making Motorcycle Parking a Priority In Its New Construction

I've been thinking about transportation since before I could spell that word. That's probably something that comes with growing up riding public buses and trains to get to school every day. Later on, I'd learn to ride a bicycle, drive, and (of course) ride a motorcycle. And at various times in…

Royal Enfield’s Electric Motorcycle Is Coming Next Year to Dealerships Near You

Royal Enfield is probably one of the last brands you’d expect to go electric. Known for its retro-themed bikes and no-frills thumpers that seem like they were built to defy modernity, the thought of a Royal Enfield without a rumbling engine sounds borderline sacrilegious.

This Is Your Once in a Lifetime Chance To Ride With Wayne Rainey at Laguna Seca

I saw "Rainey's Ride To The Races" at Laguna Seca last year, and it was my personal low point of the races because I wasn't a part of it. All the fans riding together to the track, and then spinning laps—I thought nothing could be better, but I was wrong.…

This New Retro-Inspired Motorcycle Jacket Makes No Compromises On Safety

There was a time when motorcycle gear meant making a choice: look good or stay protected. Riders would either opt for classic leather jackets that offered zero armor, or go all-in on bulky technical gear that screamed track day. Thankfully, those days are behind us.

Kawasaki Launched an Adorable Frog Collection, and I Want Every Single Piece

Whoever said it wasn't easy being green apparently never told Kawasaki. Wait, that was Kermit the Frog? Well, regardless, I'm still guessing they never really sat down and had a good talk about it, because clearly Kawasaki has just been taking its favorite color and running with it, right from…

This Chinese Sportbike Might Finally Be Worth Your Attention, Has the Pedigree

Chinese motorcycles have come a long way in recent years, and if there’s one thing they’re especially leaning into, it’s the sportbike segment. There’s a clear pattern here: aggressive designs, sharp angles, and futuristic styling that often skews toward the flashy side. Some might call it over-the-top, but there’s no…

Get Mad, Congress Wants to Sell 500,000 Acres of Public Land Actually

Think back to last week, which in today's society feels like ages ago. But at the time, I told you that your representatives had voted, in secret, to sell off your public lands. At the time, it was 11,000 acres in Nevada and Utah which, in itself, would be cause for…

Triumph’s New Limited-Edition Motorcycle Is Its Ultimate Track Monster

Triumph blindsided me with the announcement of its limited edition Speed Triple 1200 RX, but I shouldn't have been so surprised. When I tested the Speed Triple 1200 RS in March, I never questioned the changes the engineers made to make the cockpit roomier and give you a more comfortable…
