I feel like I say this a lot, but 30 inch wheels on a motorcycle is not just excessive, it’s just plain repulsive. And if that wasn’t enough, now even 32 inch wheels are available for bikes, although the 30 inch seems to be the norm for… whatever this trend wants to be. More and
Right now, electric bikes are popping up left and right, each claiming to be the best at something, but then again, every manufacturer claims their product is the best. But one thing Lightning Motorcycles can not only claim, but also attest, is the fact that their LS-218 is the world’s fastest electric bike. Making its
Recalls are the stuff that all manufacturers dread, and while some recalls are easily resolved, some cause serious problems. Harley Davidson had to issue this recall for some 2013-2014 Breakout models, but fortunately, it doesn’t seem to be that serious. The issue discovered involves the fuel tank, which, under certain condition, can change angle. This
I still remember the time when electric bikes were quite the novelty, especially something that wasn’t jury rigged in a greasy garage. Now, it seems that every other week or so, we hear about a new attempt at breaking into the bike market with an electric product. I would say this is the case with
A while back, we mentioned that some bike makers are planning to build a machine that sports a 32 inch front wheel. It seems that the Corleone (as they dubbed it) is finally here, and I have to admit, it looks better than I expected. That being said, it still is insane, and not in

In the custom bike world, innovation is no longer such a common sight, as pretty much everything has been built, with the occasional jewel that pops up now and again. The Kahn Euro4 bike that Lauge Jensen is not the bike to break the pattern, at least not design wise, but despite not bringing anything
As creepy as the title might sound, the actual sculpture is quite a few degrees more creepy. Artist have always tried to mix their craft with their hobbies or interests, and once in a while, something noteworthy is born. And make no mistake, this motorcycle sculpture built entirely out of animal bones is noteworthy, even
In certain groups, motorcycle riders are viewed as organ donors, an euphemism outlining how dangerous they really are. Some truth to that actually exists, as it is harder to walk away unhurt from a bike crash than from a car crash. Besides bikes, there are also trikes that tend to label their riders in a
Any domain big enough to have a certain number of fans will eventually give birth to events and gatherings where true enthusiasts can share their passion with others of similar mind. The car making industry has plenty of such events all over the world, some more obscure than other, some more specialized while others casting
There have been some radical custom bikes builds out there, each with its own theme and catch, but the Impostor seems like its was taken straight out of a Mad Max movie. This awesome piece of design comes out of the hands of El Solitario, a Spanish group of skillful mechanics. I have always had
Right now, there are lots of custom choppers on the roads, and even electric bikes have become an ever increasing sight in some areas. But until now, I have never seen and electric custom chopper.

It’s never a bright day when a manufacturer has to recall a huge number of vehicles due to various issues. And when those issues involve things like an improper bolt that might come loose under certain conditions, it is all that more frustrating. Still, most brands do their best to keep their products in top
In my honest opinion, the Diavel has to be the best Ducati model out there, and even a top 10 bike overall. A recent report has leaked about the Diavel from the model’s forums, which indicates that a revised version of the bike will soon surface on the internet. As soon as next week we
This past year has marked the revival or several brands, making for quite a good period for the automotive industry. One of the lucky companies to have been revitalized is Paton, which is now ready to roll out their first bike. Well, the actual product is still a month away, but that is not too
With the Lotus Motorcycles C-01 being already leaked in images some time ago, we used to questions ourselves if this sport cruise superbike would actually see the day on the roads. Well, now it is official that the Lotus Motorcycles C-01 will be coming with different colors, including the classic gold and black schemes, as
When Lotus first announced their intention of building a bike, people were a bit unsure about this move, and information was slow to emerge. But in a recent spur, we got to admire some high res pictures of the Lotus C-01, and I, for one, am quite impressed. But after the initial shock of the
Recently, most brand expansions seem to revolve around opening new plants in China, hoping to grab as big a piece of pie as possible. Yet, for a nice change of pace, Chinese bike maker Shineray decided to take its business across the seas. They are planning to open a plant in Brazil, the first one
Recently, bike maker Aprilia launched a video commercial for two of their models, namely the RSV4 Factory and the RSV4 R. As it should have been expected, the manufacturer tried to display their strongest point in this ad, albeit not in a very appealing way, I would say. I am talking about their strong racing
