This Kawasaki Motorcycle Now Comes With Built-In Dash Cams, At Least In Japan

For years, Kawasaki’s Ninja 1000 was the go-to sport-tourer for riders who wanted a fast yet comfortable machine that didn’t stray too far into either supersport or adventure territory. It wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, but it was balanced, practical, and—most importantly—fun. Now, for 2025, it has evolved…

The X Games Has Banned Electric Motorcycles, and the Reasoning is Stupid

Honda Making Rally Motorcycle Parts You Can't Buy, But They Should

Long ago, I tested Honda's stonking great CRF450RX. It's a brute of a thumper, capable of just going wherever you point its knobby front tire. I took it through our backyard's infant dirt track, up into the mountains on some semi-maintained trails, and through some gnarly single track. The race-spec…

Akrapovic Just Made the Yamaha R9 a Whole Lot Louder

The Yamaha R9 is hands down the coolest sportbike to come out in years. Yeah, I’m biased, I’ll admit that upfront, but tell me another manufacturer that’s done what Yamaha just did. Instead of watering down a middleweight with budget components or an uninspiring engine, they went all in and…
