Honda Making Rally Motorcycle Parts You Can't Buy, But They Should

Long ago, I tested Honda's stonking great CRF450RX. It's a brute of a thumper, capable of just going wherever you point its knobby front tire. I took it through our backyard's infant dirt track, up into the mountains on some semi-maintained trails, and through some gnarly single track. The race-spec…

I'm Headed to Outdoor Solutions' 'Built to Hunt Program,' You Should Come Too

You're never too old to learn a new skill. That's something I absolutely abide by. Yes, it may be harder to comprehend or to internalize, but humans—no matter your age—are capable of learning new things. It's why I took up hunting at age 36.

There's an Electric Polaris RZR Coming Soon

Wunderlich’s New Adventure Motorcycle Jacket and Pants Are Expensive As Hell

Adventure riding isn’t just about exploring the unknown anymore. It’s a lifestyle, an aesthetic, a carefully curated Instagram grid of dust-covered motorcycles, rugged landscapes, and, of course, high-end gear that says, “I take my adventures seriously.” Brands like Klim, Touratech, and Wunderlich don’t just sell motorcycle equipment—they sell status. If…

Akrapovic Just Made the Yamaha R9 a Whole Lot Louder

The Yamaha R9 is hands down the coolest sportbike to come out in years. Yeah, I’m biased, I’ll admit that upfront, but tell me another manufacturer that’s done what Yamaha just did. Instead of watering down a middleweight with budget components or an uninspiring engine, they went all in and…

Public Land Management is a Mess, But That Doesn't Mean We Should Sell It Off

Conservationist Randy Newberg calls U.S. public lands "The greatest accumulation of undistributed wealth on the planet." And while I tend to agree with him on most topics, I think I somewhat disagree with the term "undistributed." Because, well, it's our public land. It's been distributed to us.

This Tiny Kawasaki Ninja H2R Model Is A Sure Cure For Winter Blues

If you've worked on both bikes and cars, then you already know that one significant pro of taking apart bikes is that they are, generally speaking, a whole lot smaller. In many ways, that makes it both easier and more practical to start wrenching on a bike than a car…

Michelin Is Finally Exiting MotoGP as Pirelli Takes the Lead, and It’s Good for Everyone

It's been agonizing to watch Michelin sponsor MotoGP for the past few years. Tire pressure problems were the most talked about topic, before becoming a taboo, off-limits subject. Either way, it didn't paint Michelin in a good light.

Vespa's Owner Is Just Conquering the Market, KTM Should Take Note

For plenty of motorcycle and powersports manufacturers, 2024 was a year to forget, financially speaking. KTM all but imploded, and the cost-saving measures employed by Polaris are bleeding into 2025. So how, then, in the midst of all this, did Piaggio Group—owner of Vespa, Aprilia, Moto Guzzi, Derbi, Gilera, Scarabeo brands—manage…

Yamaha’s Turning 70 This Year, So What Makes the Company So Special?

I have a confession to make: I am an absolute Yamaha simp. No, really. I’ve owned three MT-07s, an MT-10, an XSR900, a Fazzio, and even a PG-1. And if Yamaha came out with a toaster that sounded like a crossplane R1, I’d probably buy that too.
