The Latest Breaking News from RideApart

Does a 125cc V-Twin Cruiser Even Make Sense?

These days, you could say that South Korea kills it in cars and electronics—Hyundai, Kia, Samsung, LG… you name it. But motorcycles? Well, that’s a bit of a different story. Unlike Japan, which dominates the global bike scene, South Korea never really cracked the two-wheeled market. One brand that’s been…

Does Europe Want a $20,000 LiveWire?

You could say that LiveWire has always had a bit of an identity crisis. It was originally launched as the first all-electric model under the Harley brand, a symbol of its daringness to venture into the world of electrification. But not long after, it was spun off into its own…

Everything at King of the Hammers Just Got Beat By a UTV

King of the Hammers is, for lack of a better word, batshit. For those who've never heard of it, it's an off-road race in California's Johnson Valley, and marries rock crawling with flat-out open desert racing. There's nothing else on the planet like King of the Hammers.

Airoh’s Mathisse II Wants To Set a New Standard For Modular Motorcycle Helmets

Airoh’s a helmet brand you may have never heard of. But chances are, you will soon enough, as the brand has set up shop in the US. The Italian manufacturer sort of sits in the middle of the road when it comes to price, making affordable lids with tech and…

Are You Brave Enough to Ride a 300 Horsepower Turbocharged Motorcycle?

I've been fortunate to ride a lot of very fast, very sketchy machines. From turbocharged two-stroke backcountry snowmobiles, to superbikes with over 200 horsepower, and everything in between, speed and horsepower don't usually phase me. I once drove a Bugatti Chiron and allegedly saw 186 mph in less than a mile.

This Limited Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 Doubles Down On Its Retro Styling

Royal Enfield is a vibe. It’s a brand that dares to ignore numbers on a spec sheet, and instead, focus on the more intangible side of motorcycling—stuff like emotion, experience, and self-expression. Pretty much all of Royal Enfield’s bikes are embodiments of this, and judging from the success the brand’s…

Is This a Sportbike With a Seatbelt?

Last year, the English-speaking motorcycle internet was awash in a sea of "what on earth is CFMoto thinking?" Why, you might ask? Because that's when a patent application that the OEM had applied for back in 2022 was published, and that patent appeared to be one for a seatbelt and…

Switzerland Is Officially the Fun Police for Motorcyclists, Implements Silly Sanctions

"Loud pipes save lives" is a divisive statement, even in the motorcycle community. I believe, under certain circumstances, loud pipes could actually prevent some accidents and potentially death. In Ireland, where I spent my formative years riding, lane splitting is legal, but motorcycles aren't common, so drivers aren't always on…

Here's Why Going Too Fast Will Break Your Heart When You're Wrenching

There's a danger in going too fast if you're wrenching, and I'm not just talking about making an accidental extra blood sacrifice to the garage gods.

The Honda Gold Wing Celebrates 50 Years Cruising in Comfort, Includes CarPlay

Few motorcycles have achieved the legendary status of the Honda Gold Wing. It’s taken the heavyweight tourer five decades to become this good; long after first hitting the scene way back in 1975. Honda even goes as far as saying that it invented the entire touring category with the Gold…

Can-Am's New Apache XC Tracks Let You Go Further, and Tackle More Work

One of the first years we had our Can-Am Maverick X3, I took my wife and three kids into the woods in the middle of winter. We'd already run a few snowy trails that season and were heading to a spot we could take the kids sledding deep in the…

If you're a Suzuki Hayabusa or Katana fan, and you've been wanting the perfect wristwatch to show everyone how much you love your Hayabusa (or Katana), then Suzuki's about to make you very happy.

Watch the Most Insane Yamaha R6-Swapped Dirt Bike Take Flight

There are wild videos, and then there's what you're about to watch. We've seen superbikes converted, more or less, into off-road capable bikes from plenty of channels. But it's much rarer to see a supersport or superbike engine swapped into a dirt bike's frame because it's much harder to make…

Mechanic Lives Dream of Not Paying Road Tax for 23 Years, Eventually Caught

I'm willing to bet that I have a similar feeling toward paying taxes as most of the people reading this—I hate it. I hate how little tax the super-rich pay, and I really hate the feeling of paying taxes for the same thing, like road tax, which is often under…

REV'IT!'s New Sand 5 Off-Road Motorcycle Jacket Looks Ready for Any Adventure

There are few things I love more than off-road riding. Motorcycles and dirt? Chef's kiss. It's the perfect combination, like peanut butter and jelly.

Polaris Will Have To Make Further Cost Cuts This Year, Says CEO

The powersports industry hasn't felt stable since before the COVID epidemic. There was a feast a few years ago when overlanding and general powersports activities exploded in popularity. And now, it appears the famine is upon us, well, actually, it has been for a while.

Is the Brummell Blazer the Only Motorcycle Jacket You’ll Ever Need?

Let’s be real: motorcycle gear isn’t just about staying safe, it’s about showing off your style, your character, and essentially the kind of rider you are. And nowhere is this more obvious than in the retro scene. Folks who rock scramblers and cafe racers don’t usually settle for plain old…

This Electric Motorcycle Isn’t Real, But You Know You Want It To Be

Have you ever wondered what motorcycling will look like 10, 20, maybe 30 years from now? Maybe, maybe not. But for some people, chasing the future completely defines their present. Visionaries, forward-thinkers, or simply people with too much time on their hands—it’s because of people like these that the modern…

If you're reading this piece, then I'm going to guess you've seen the still image of the pristine, almost showroom-perfect-looking 1994 Yamaha XT250 up top. It's probably why you're here, right? Don't worry, it's why I'm here, too. Because it's just SO GOOD.

Despite the Online Controversies, Harley-Davidson Needs to Diversify

I get a lot of flack from the Harley-Davidson faithful. A lot of it. Through emails, in RideApart's comments section, on social media, and yelled at me while I'm out on the street. Everyone has an opinion on my, and this site's, Harley coverage.

NYC’s New E-Bike Trade-In Program Aims To Hit Two Birds With One Stone

Battery safety has become one of the biggest concerns when it comes to all things electric. Everything from Teslas to electric bicycles and e-scooters are powered by a bunch of high-energy cells, which in theory, could burst into flames for a whole myriad of reasons. In big cities like New…

Yamaha Has Made a Million R15 Sportbikes, They're Still Not Coming To the US

I love small-displacement motorcycles, particularly sportbikes. They may not make sense to a lot of people since the very essence of a sportbike is about going fast. But not small sportbikes. They’re fun, easy to ride, and look like miniature versions of their top-tier siblings.

This Kei Truck Has a Turbocharged Superbike Engine Heart, and Snowmobile Tracks

A good portion of Americans love the humble Kei truck. Even though they were never sold here, and F-150s reign supreme, folks have gotten on board with the minuscule muscle as they're cheap to buy, cheap to fix, and work like fine Swiss watches. That is, they never break down…

Ola’s Roadster X Electric Motorcycle Is Real, and It’s Ready To Hit India’s Roads

Ola Electric is a name you’ve already probably heard of, even if its operations are confined solely to the Indian market for now. It has managed to capture global attention thanks to its affordable and tech-loaded EV scooters, and now, it’s venturing into the motorcycle world, too.

Sturgis the City Is a Mess, But Sturgis the Rally Says Everything is Fine

No matter the year, the number of people attending, or the weird overdose-like deaths, the Sturgis motorcycle rally is a chaotic few weeks. And that'd be the case for literally any town in all of the United States if 500,000 motorcyclists showed up to party, drink, and generally raise hell…
