To say that the racing in MotoGP in recent years has been exciting is the mother of all understatements, and everyone is cashing in, with record crowds and huge TV numbers. To give an insight into the importance of this exposure, KTM doesn’t even produce a proper superbike for the road and yet still fields four bikes. But back in the ’70s the win on Sunday, sell on Monday mentality found its home…

It’s been four years since the world was introduced to the BMW R18, and the big Bavarian cruiser has enjoyed mixed success. The initial reviews were glowing, and just about every motoring journalist had positive things to say, but that hasn’t rolled over into the sort of sales success that BMW was hoping for.

But a decade earlier, the real work had begun, when bikes wearing names of old like Daytona and Trident had been displayed at the 1990 Cologne Motorcycle Show. But in 1994, Triumph produced something much more daring and the three…

For generations, Harley-Davidson never offered a truly learner-friendly motorcycle, but like most manufacturers, they couldn’t resist the financial pressure. For a while, the Street range gave the Milwaukee brand a foot in the door, but last year they went all in, teaming up with two huge partners from China and India to bring the all-new X series to life. Here in Australia, the X350 and X500 were…

For years prior, the company had largely relied on their tremendous GS range, K cruisers and cop bikes to make sales. But in just the space of a few years, they turned a big corner and welcomed in a new crowd, by releasing the S1000RR superbike…

The modern dirt bike is an incredible thing, blisteringly fast, effortlessly reliable and able to handle and stop like on rails, no matter how terrible the terrain. And yet, never have vintage motocross, dual sports and scramblers been as popular as they are now. Some of that is nostalgia, no doubt, but there is also the fact that every manufacturer’s machine was uniquely different and no two ever…
