Motorcycle

Thanks to the work of an intrepid photographer in Southern Europe, we learned last week that Royal Enfield is well into development on a bike that fans of the brand have been demanding for years: a 650cc version of its wildly popular Himalayan.

Bike thieves can't steal it if they don't know it's there ... This remarkable motorcycle looks for all the world like a telecom signal box covered in graffiti – but at the touch of a button it rises up on wheels and rides away.

Is there anything more American than a true out-an-out bobber? The likes of Harley and Indian have stamped their authority on these style of bikes, but China says whatever you can do, we can do one better, and cheaper!

BMW's GT and RT motorcycles have a legendary status. They are terrific tourers that offer everything one could ask for – but if there’s one thing I’d change about them, it would be their MSRPs. Enter the sub-$12,000 Spanish Mitt GT-K.

A motorcycle is meant to take you from one place to another, right? That’s the whole purpose of all modes of transportation. But who said you can’t look cool doing that? That’s exactly the value proposition that the Royal Enfield Goan Classic offers.

Peter Fonda's Stars and Stripes helmet from the movie Easy Rider (1969) went to auction seven days ago ... and failed to raise a single bid of $25,000. By my assessment, it's worth more than $500,000. What happened?

Triumph's pulled out all the stops for the 2025 Bobber TFC (Triumph Factory Custom) for 2025. It's decked out with finely detailed bodywork, premium components, and some tasty carbon fiber bits that add a whole new vibe to this classic silhouette.

The magnificently overpowered Stark Varg has been remixed and released as a street-legal electric enduro bike – and due to weird laws in certain areas, you may not even need a motorcycle license to ride this 80-horsepower, 120-kg (265-lb) monster.

The efficiency of a tooth-on-tooth geared transmission, with the smoothly variable gear ratios of a CVT – minus the belt friction and capable of going all the way down to a zero ratio without needing a clutch. That's a 'holy grail' level promise!

The 2025 Royal Enfield Classic 650 motorcycle – revealed at EICMA – offers classic styling, affordability, and comfort. It's not perfect, especially when pushed beyond its remit, but if you like the look, you'll probably love the ride.

Siekon Motor showed an electric touring motorcycle prototype among a raft of new models at the Canton Fair in Guanghzou, China, last week, and I hadn’t expected something as well put together, relevant to Western tastes and quite as impactful.

There's nothing quite like pulling a wheelie on a motorcycle for firing up the adrenalin glands. More people would do it if it wasn't so difficult and potentially painful and embarrassing – so RawRR is launching a trainer to make it easy and fun.
