It’s hard to look back on the past. There are so many ways you can think “if only” and ponder how circumstances could have been different. Such is the case with Buell Motorcycles, condemned by Harley-Davidson management to the dustbin.
For those of us who appreciated what Erik Buell was trying to do with his innovative [...]

What’s that sound? Oh, wait, you can’t really hear anything? That’s because it’s the sound of an electric Zero Motorcycle whizzing by… no screaming 600cc supersports here, just the sound of the wind in your ears, loads of down-low torque, lots of environmental friendlyism, and crazy-good gas mileageism. Oh, and for 2010, COLORS! I might [...]

Ok, Ducati, damn you once again for making me lust after your Italian goodness. After launching the baby brother 796 hypermotard, Ducati just had to go out and pump up the big bro a little bit. And thus the 2010 Ducati Hypermotard 1100 EVO was born.
What does it mean? Only that the engine and chassis [...]

Finally, after all the waiting and hype, the new Multi 1200. Enjoy:

*drool*
If all Italian women were as gorgeous as all Italian motorcycles I would be living in Rome, like, yesterday. As for this Aprilia – the new RSV4 R, by the way – all I can say is “wow.” Angular and sharp, yet balanced by enough rounded edges to allow the lines to flow, this bike [...]

MotorcycleNewsGuy has been on hiatus. Life gets in the way sometimes, y’know? Well, after seeing the shots of the new Honda VFR1220F I realized I needed to kick life in it’s stupid ass and tell it to take a seat because I need to get back on my game, and figure out a way to [...]

A couple years ago I decided to give flying airplanes a try. It seemed fun, other than the whole airplane crashing and death thing that happens from time to time with small planes.
To supplement my flight training (which is almost prohibitively expensive) I bought a flight sim and a joystick and practiced on simulations of [...]

Ok, so it’s not exactly a motorcycle… but it does have two wheels. And it’s not a scooter. Exactly what it is – well, it’s an electric, two wheeled, two seat vehicle, meant to help solve the world’s fuel issues.
Nicknamed PUMA – for Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility – this vehicle would somehow network with [...]

I love the fact that Zero Motorcycles is blazing the way and is already producing electric motorcycles with pretty decent performance that you can buy, today. I’m not going to buy one – well, not yet, anyway – but I hope someone does, and keeps this innovative company going and brings the prices down in [...]

There’s something special about being able to take a bike to it’s complete limit, flogging it all out and pinning the throttle. Hardly anyone can do that on a literbike. Most people can’t do it on a supersport. But I bet a lot of you could take a Ninja 250 and push that thing right [...]
