    The Honda Motorcycle You Could Ride Every Day For A Decade (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Every new motorcycle feels like you hit the jackpot when you swing your leg over for the first time. The fresh paint, the spotless tank, the crisp click of every switch, and that first proper twist of the throttle all feel like a reward for something you did right. The feeling continues for a year, maybe two or three at the very most. But by year five, the shine gets dulled, the power that once felt exciting now feels ordinary, and the service invoices start to make you flinch. The bike you boug

    The Ducati That Makes You Look Back Every Time You Park (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    There is an old, unspoken rule in motorcycling – if you park your bike and walk away without looking back over your shoulder, you bought the wrong machine. This has gone missing in modern motorcycles, as they are built to win somewhere else, by chasing bigger horsepower figures, faster lap times and exhaust notes that announce the bike from the next street. All of which disappear the moment the engine is switched off. By creating an account, you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. You

    Every rider knows the itch. A new motorcycle arrives, and for a few months, it feels perfect. That is, until the newness wears off. And the throttle loses its excitement. Before you know it, you’re back on the online classifieds late at night, convincing yourself that you need something new. That’s not your fault, though. It’s a cycle the motorcycle industry thrives on. Every time a new model rolls out with more horsepower and more electronics, it tempts you to trade in your keys, only to discov

    The Motorcycle That Finally Found The Sweet Spot (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    ‘Bigger is Better’ has been the motto of manufacturers in 2026. They have been loading motorcycles with higher displacement and cutting-edge features, which you probably never use most of the time. Social media echoes this sentiment, and newer riders often follow the trend. They are certainly great machines to show off to friends or attract attention, but eventually, riders tend to leave these motorcycles parked in the garage. The reason is that these flagship motorcycles are less practical and

    The KTM Motorcycle That Finally Nails Everyday Riding (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    KTM and the word “everyday” have never sat comfortably in the same sentence. Ask riders which bikes make daily riding anything but dull, and mid-weight nakeds are usually the answer. They keep every ride interesting with their lightweight, flickable chassis and upright riding ergonomics. But “Ready To Race” is a poor match for that brief, since the Austrian bike maker has always chased aggression first and usability second. That has been the traditional trade-off. But one recent KTM seems to hav
