Willow Spring International Raceway Was Just Bought, and We're Not Sure What'll Happen

What is there to say when you hear of anything being bought by private equity (PE) but, "Please, not again. When will it stop?". Maybe we just hear the bad stories about PE buying an asset, scalping it, and selling it off for parts once it's maximized a relatively short-term…

Is BMW Buying KTM?

Look, based on everything that's been going on with KTM, I won't discount any new rumor that hits the streets. Why? Because most of them have come to fruition in the manner that was originally reported on. See KTM's denials about its financial situation or that the MotoGP team wasn't…

KTM Hopes You'll Finally Buy Its New-Old Motorcycles By Offering a Longer Warranty

KTM is largely in a pickle of its own making. And I'm not even talking about the current insolvency proceedings that are happening in the background. No, I'm talking about how the Austrian company ended up with more than a year's worth of unsold inventory sitting on dealership lots.

Looks Like the US Will See These Cool New Hondas After All, But There's a Catch

Ski-Doo has my heart. The brand's snowmobiles are some of the best around, giving me access to hyper-fast trail sleds with two-step turbochargers that sound like an R32 Skyline on full blast, and two-stroke turbocharged mountain sleds that just go wherever you point their skis. The latter are also excellent…

Classic Bike Collectors Will Surely Fight Over These Brough Superiors

Like many younger motorcyclists, I never fully appreciated the legend of Brough Superior—until I started digging into its history.

I Don't Think the Nurburgring's Ban on Motorcycles is About Safety

New Device Can Turn Exhaust Heat Into Energy, Because Science
