2026 Honda WN7 – First ride review Honda delivers the purest essence of motorcycling with its new electric bike.

No clutch. No gears. No noise. Just 73 lb-ft of instant torque that’s like being flung from a trebuchet. The 2026 Honda WN7 is completely addictive, but is the 60-mile range a dealbreaker? Read my full review of Honda’s first full-size electric motorcycle. #Honda #WN7 #electricmotorcycle #motorcycle

2026 Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 Limited – First ride review Harley throws all the bells and all the whistles at its Pan America platform, but is it enough?

It's got the spirit of a honey badger, an engine that sounds delightfully raw, and a sidestand that plays hide-and-seek with your boot. But is the 2026 Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 Limited worth its £23k sticker price? Check out my full review. #motorcycle #HarleyDavidson #PanAmerica #PanAmerica

What I can afford: 2003 Victory V92C Deluxe I’ve wanted to own a Victory motorcycle for years. Is this finally my chance?

Victory’s been dead for almost a decade. It stopped making the V92C more than a decade before that. Sure, I can afford this 23-year-old piece of American history, but should I buy it? #motorcycle #Victory #VictoryMotorcycles #V92C

Sidi Taurus GTX adventure-touring boot review They look bad-ass. They’re rugged. They’re waterproof. Are they worth their spicy asking price?

Weise Navigator textile jacket review The Weise Navigator is one of only a handful of affordable laminated four-season jackets. Is it a bargain find? Or a case of ‘you get what you pay for?’

The Weise Navigator jacket features high-end waterproofing, AA safety rating, and comes with Level 2 armor - all for less than you’d expect. I’ve put it to the test in hot, cold, and very wet; check out the full review. #motorcycles #Weise #RidingGear #motorcyclejacket

What I can afford: 2008 Honda CBF250 This customized take on a mid-2000s commuter bike is surprisingly affordable. Actually, looking at it, it’s not that surprising…

Triumph Tiger Sport 660 even sportier after overhaul As part of its promise to deliver a great big whole bunch of ‘new’ bikes in 2026, Triumph has given more power to the Tiger Sport 660.

Triumph’s photos of the updated Tiger Sport 660 make it look fake. But if it’s real, it has more power and goes further on a tank of fuel. #motorcycles #Triumph #TigerSport660

OK, but what about the rest of us? China’s Souo Moto is reportedly bringing its colossal S2000 touring motorcycle to the United States. One wonders if it will show up on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.

The future is not here: Electric motorcycles still not gaining traction Back in 2016 I was convinced that electric motorcycles would go mainstream in the very near future. I was wrong. What happened?

Ten years ago, I declared that electric motorcycles had “arrived.” Obviously, I was wrong. Bafflingly, things don’t seem to have moved forward much since then. #motorcycles #electricmotorcycles #EV #2016
