Production of Piaggio’s Ape Car To Leave Italy After 76 Years

I'd argue that almost everyone over the age of 20 has seen Piaggio's iconic Ape (Bee) 3-wheeled vehicle at some point, especially those who are into cinematography. The Ape is a quintessential part of Italy's history, and you're likely to see one buzzing around in any movie that's been shot…

That Famous Turbine-Powered Superbike Has a New Special Edition, It's Still Nuts

There's a scene in the movie Torque where the male lead unveils the MTT Turbine Superbike, hops onto it, breaks through a pane of glass, revs the absolute balls off it, and then launches the bike down the road as if he were in an F-14 Tomcat launching off a…

This Chinese Motorcycle Wants To Give Euro And Japanese Sportbikes Heartburn

Just a few years ago, Chinese motorcycles had nothing but a bad reputation. Sure, they were cheap, but they were by no means the first choice for riders looking for performance and reliability. But if we fast forward to today, things are changing a bit, and names like CFMoto and…

These 2 Maniacs Just Did The First Ever Dakar Rally Route On Vintage Yamahas

There's a concept I like to refer to as 'temporal context' whenever I'm thinking about things like motorcycles, sporting events, or even movies. What do I mean by that? To put it simply, here in 2025, things are going to look a certain way to me since this is the…

Will We Ever See SHOEI's New Fitting System With 3D Scanning in the US?

I've been lucky, for the most part, that my helmets fit me well. But like I said, that's for the most part, I did have one helmet that fitted particularly poorly and eventually began to flop around in the air while still being too tight in areas. It was a…

Wyoming Stopped Its Own Public Lands Land Grab From Ever Starting, Good

If you've been paying attention to RideApart over the last year, you'll already know that I'm a big proponent of public lands. As conservationist Randy Newberg loves to say, "They're the greatest form of distributed wealth in history" and I wholeheartedly agree.

This Honda Snow Bike Is a Super Rare Super Cub, and It Can Now Be Yours

Here in 2025, I can tell you that I've had more than one conversation in recent years about whether Honda's lost its way. Me, I'm clearly a fan of the brand, and I have the VF500F carbs sitting on my workbench to prove it.

Buy This 1986 Kawasaki GPZ900R and Live Your Tom Cruise 'Top Gun' Dreams

I reckon Tom Cruise riding Kawasaki's GPZ900R in Top Gun influenced a ridiculous number of people to get on two wheels. Whether you know it or not, if you're between a certain age, there's a good chance it pushed you toward motorcycles.

This Indian Startup Is Betting On Faster Electric Motorcycle Adoption

The EV revolution is picking up speed, and two-wheelers are leading the charge—especially in markets where they’re the go-to mode of transport. Electric motorcycles and scooters promise to be cheaper to run, more eco-friendly, and perfect for cities where traffic jams are a constant occurrence.

How Much Would You Pay For This Mint, Still-Crated 1986 Honda Trike?

Most of us know that nostalgia is an incredibly powerful drug. It makes all the sense in the world, doesn't it? I mean, if you had the opportunity, why wouldn't you want to go back to some of the happiest times of your life and relive them all over again?

Is Kawasaki Actually Serious About This New Motorcycle Voice Command Feature?

Maybe I’m just weird, but I never really got the whole idea of voice commands. Be it Siri, Hey, Google, Alexa, or even Hey, Cardo, the whole idea of summoning your device via voice always seemed a bit odd to me. You know, a little unnatural.

You're Probably Never Getting The 200 Horsepower, 200 Mile Damon Electric Motorcycle

I've been working on a story for a number of months now, one that got behind the scenes of Damon Motorcycles. It was a profile all the trials the upstart electric motorcycle company has been through. It was a long look at the issues behind multiple things: Its constantly moving manufacturing…

KTM Creditor Accusing Brand Of Rail-Roading Restructuring, Could Cause Collapse

If you haven't been following along as we cover KTM's current predicament, where have you been? For the uninitiated, KTM essentially screwed itself a couple years back, as Pierer Mobility AG—the company's parent company—went on a spending spree that'd make a lottery winner blush.

Suzuki Just Dropped Its First EV 2-Wheeler, and It Can Match Your Hayabusa

If you've been wondering when Suzuki would finally wheel out its first production EV two-wheeler, the answer is apparently now. What's the brand's first EV motorbike to roll out to the public, you might ask? Although we've seen things like this EV motocross bike patent from Suzuki floating around in…

T-Mobile and Starlink Have Satellite Communications Now, But I'd Still Use a Garmin

One of my biggest fears, one that I have personal experience with, is going into the woods, getting into trouble, and not being able to communicate with the outside world. Don't get me wrong, I go into the woods so I don't have to communicate with the outside world. It's…

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.

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…
