2024 BMW R 18 Roctane vs Harley-Davidson Road King - Which Bagger Has More Oomph?

Punya Sharma — Sat, 13 May 2023 15:31:18 GMT

BMW is slowly and steadily expanding its presence in the cruiser world. It already has four interactions of the R 18 and a fifth one has just been revealed for 2024. Dubbed the R 18 Roctane, it brings an American touch to the otherwise vintage cruiser lineup and sets eyes on the much-sought-after bagger segment. But to succeed, the Bavarian bagger will need to beat some dominant names in this category–a particular mainstay being the Harley-Davidson Road King Special. So it’s only fair we pit these two against each other, and that’s exactly what we’ve done. However, you should know we haven’t ridden either cruiser, which is why this solely revolves around the specifications.

Kawasaki USA Teases 2024 Ninja ZX-6R And Eliminator Ahead Of Launch

Punya Sharma — Fri, 12 May 2023 13:30:17 GMT

A few days ago, we told you that Kawasaki is all set to debut a new Ninja ZX-6R for its MY2024 lineup. And before that, CARB filings revealed Team Green’s plan for a new Eliminator 450. Now, the latest update on the matter comes right from the horse’s mouth, as Kawasaki USA has set a date for its upcoming lineup. Plus, it’s officially teased the new Ninja and Eliminator to confirm both rumors.

New BMW R 18 Roctane Sets Eyes On Harley-Davidson, Alongside 2024 R 12 NineT

Punya Sharma — Fri, 12 May 2023 11:45:17 GMT

The R 18 lineup is BMW’s only flagbearer in the highly contested cruiser motorcycle segment. And the Bavarian giant has put a lot of effort into making it ever-so-capable. This is why we’ve already seen four trims - R 18, R 18 Classic, R 18 B, R 18 Transcontinental - of the cruiser in just three years, and for 2024, there’s now a fifth one too. Called the R 18 Roctane, the new thumper (unlike what we expected from its trademarks) adds some urban bagger flavor to the lineup, with eyes set on American offerings like the Harley-Davidson Road King. In addition, BMW has also teased the 2024 R 12 NineT retro roadster as a replacement for its existing R NineT.

Sexy And Shiny: Custom Indian Sport Chief For UFC Champ TJ Dillashaw

Punya Sharma — Thu, 11 May 2023 13:45:17 GMT

A few days ago, Indian Motorcycle took the wraps off an uber-special custom chopper built around its new-for-2023 Sport Chief. The motorcycle was part of the company’s ongoing ‘Forged’ series and went to The Walking Dead Star Norman Reedus. For its second build, the bikemaker has now joined hands with Massachusetts-based Barnstorm Cycles to reveal yet another exquisite cruiser.

First Look at Harley-Davidson’s Fast Johnnie Enthusiast Collection

Anthony Capobianco — Thu, 11 May 2023 13:00:17 GMT

Muscle cars, hot rods, and motorcycles have had a long intersecting history together. They optimize powerful engines, tough exterior designs, and plenty of bragging rights on the track. So with another edition of Harley-Davidson's Enthusiast Motorcycle Collection of 2023 comes the Fast Johnnie, a nod to the brand's hay days of full-throttle racing with factory-custom paint and graphics.

This Cruiser Was Honda’s Attempt To Take On Harley-Davidson

Punya Sharma — Tue, 09 May 2023 12:15:17 GMT

The American market has always had the hots for big, thumpy cruiser motorcycles. And a few years ago, these sold so well, everyone wanted a piece of the pie. This made many leading bikemakers sway away from their usual products, go back to the drawing board, and try to come up with cruisers, especially for the States. A fitting example of this was Honda’s Shadow lineup which comprised an assortment of cruisers. Among these, the 2007 Shadow Spirit VT750C was one of the big hitters for the Japanese bikemaker and had eyes on ever-so-popular American offerings such as Harley-Davidson.

Elvis Presley’s Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Is A Rockstar In Its Own Way

Punya Sharma — Mon, 08 May 2023 12:35:17 GMT

When you think of influential American artists, Elvis Presley ranks quite high on the list. Dubbed ‘King Of Rock’, he remains most famous for his chart-topping music (with over a billion records worldwide) and snazzy dance moves (how can we forget the iconic Rubber Legs?). But did you know that in addition to music, Elvis was also an avid motorcyclist? That’s right! When not thinking music, Presley indulged in motorcycles and had a particular affection for Harley-Davidsons with (reportedly) eleven examples to his name. The most iconic in the list, however, is his last cruiser - an FLH 1200 Electra Glide.

The Harley-Davidson Fat Bob Has A Chinese Clone You'd Likely Want

Punya Sharma — Sat, 06 May 2023 15:00:17 GMT

As Dwight from The Office will tell you, identity theft is not a joke. Yet Chinese bikemakers barely have any regard for the crime and whip up blatant doppelgangers of popular motorcycles every other week. More often than not, these copies take inspiration from big American cruisers, which is also the case with the newest entrant, the 2023 Jonway YY400. However, even though it's clearly a Harley-Davidson Fat Bob copy, the cruiser actually makes a decent case for itself, as you’re about to find out.

Everything We Know About Harley-Davidson's 2023 CVO Road Glide And CVO Street Glide So Far

Anthony Capobianco — Sat, 06 May 2023 13:00:16 GMT

In the big world of Harley-Davidson there is a wide variety of models, each with their own style, that cater to the wants and needs of its customer base. But there is a specific breed of motorcycles that Harley produces every year that sit at the top of the proverbial totem pole, and that's the CVO.

Indian Sport Chief Mutates Into A Scintillating Chopper For Norman Reedus (From The Walking Dead)

Punya Sharma — Thu, 04 May 2023 12:30:17 GMT

If you love gnarly, zombie TV series, there’s a high chance you’re a fan of The Walking Dead. And if you’re a fan of this show, we know you dig Daryl Dixon aka Norman Reedus. When you take slashing zombies out of Reedus’ world, however, the Hollywood star is a die-hard motorcyclist just like us who wants to own trick motorcycles. And this is the very reason why he’s in the headlines as we speak.

Why The 2023 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Highway King Is The ULTIMATE Vintage Cruiser

Punya Sharma — Wed, 03 May 2023 17:00:17 GMT

With 120 illustrious years in the bag, Harley-Davidson is on a new chapter in its life. A chapter that promises a new approach with modern motorcycles, catered toward a variety of customers, not just cruiser fans. After all, just look at The Motor Company’s recent products - the X 350 and X 500 roadsters, the upcoming HD400 naked with Hero MotoCorp, and even the soon-to-arrive, overhauled CVO twins.

Harley-Davidson Debuts Four Special Edition Cruisers For 2023

Punya Sharma — Tue, 02 May 2023 19:01:17 GMT

2023 has been nothing short of a treat for Harley-Davidson fans. First, the company treated us with a few exciting motorcycles as its 120th-anniversary celebration. Then came Harley’s first sub-500cc motorcycle in ages, soon followed by its bigger sibling, the X 500 roadster. And if you thought this was it, the MoCo has now introduced not one, not two, but four special edition motorcycles based on its popular Low Rider, Electra Glide, Road Glide, and Street Glide models. All motorcycles have limited production too, which makes them solid collectibles. Let’s dive in.

5 Things We Love About The Royal Enfield Super Meteor (And 5 Things We Don't)

Joseph Adebisi — Mon, 01 May 2023 14:00:17 GMT

Royal Enfield bikes have captured the hearts of riders for decades thanks to the brand's perfect blend of retro aesthetic and modern features. The recently launched 2023 Royal Enfield Super Meteor lives up to its heritage. It is the company's biggest cruiser yet, and the first to feature premium hardware that you would normally find on high-end European and Japanese brands.

Why The New CVO Road Glide And Street Glide Will Be Revolutionary For Harley-Davidson

Punya Sharma — Mon, 01 May 2023 13:45:16 GMT

Since its debut in 1999, the Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) initiative has served as an exclusive assortment of top-shelf Harley-Davidson cruisers. Though inspired by the company’s mass-produced offerings, the CVO (or Screamin’ Eagle, as they were called pre-2009) tag brings jazzed-up components for an unmatched experience. But 2023 marks the 120th anniversary of the bikemaker, and it’s only fair the MoCo went all in with this year’s CVO lineup.

2023 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 vs Classic 350 - Which One Should You Buy?

Punya Sharma — Sun, 30 Apr 2023 17:30:17 GMT

The Royal Enfield Classic 350 has a cult fan following around the world, America included. It’s an affordable, old-school, and thumpy cruiser that gets you from point A to B without the complexities of modern-day motorcycles. While this makes it perfect for many of you, some people (us included) prefer a little more spice in life.

This 600cc Cruiser Is A Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 Nemesis From China

Punya Sharma — Sun, 30 Apr 2023 14:01:17 GMT

With each day, cruisers are becoming ever-popular in the Chinese market, and we’ve witnessed everything from air-suspension-equipped 500cc examples to Harley-Davidson-rivalling 1,200cc thumpers. For 2023, it’s the Chinese mammoth Lifan who wants a piece of the cruiser pie with its latest creation, the V600. The motorcycle is no rip-off, packs a decent punch, and aims to beat the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 in the mid-capacity cruiser space. Let’s check it out.

Why The Honda Shadow Is Underrated

Jonathan Hayner — Fri, 28 Apr 2023 13:01:16 GMT

The Honda Shadow is a cruiser series of motorcycles that deserves much more attention and appreciation than it currently gets. Honda released the first Shadow in 1983, and it has since spawned several variants from that time. Normally when one thinks of cruisers, Harley-Davidson comes to mind, Indian, or perhaps some vintage British bikes like Norton or Triumph, but these Japanese cruisers are hidden gems. Sporting classic V-twins, Shadows have been packing plenty of muscle for a long time, not to mention innovating all at a reasonably low price. The Shadow may not be on most people’s radar, but this line of classy cruisers definitely should be.

New Kawasaki Eliminator Set For American Debut, But There's A Twist

Punya Sharma — Fri, 28 Apr 2023 12:00:17 GMT

Just a few weeks after its debut, Kawasaki is gearing up to debut the new Eliminator in the American market. The Japanese giant has registered the cruiser motorcycle with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) as a 2024 model, hinting at a later-in-the-year launch. However, a closer look at the filings reveals a big twist, with respect to the motorcycle’s engine.

Here's Why More Cruiser Riders Are Transitioning To Touring Bikes

Anthony Capobianco — Thu, 27 Apr 2023 13:01:16 GMT

Usually when deciding on a motorcycle that we plan on holding onto for the long-term there are two choices: cruisers and touring bikes. While cruisers have more variety and styles to choose from, it's the touring models that end up the victor. That shouldn't suggest that touring bikes are in any way superior to cruisers. Cruisers are fun, lighter in weight, more maneuverable, and multi-functional. It is merely a reflection of the market and why more cruiser riders find themselves graduating up to joining the touring class. If you visit any motorcycle dealership in the country, you may notice that there is a considerably larger demand for touring bikes than cruisers.

Fastest Cruiser Motorcycles Under 1000cc

Utkarsh Sood — Wed, 26 Apr 2023 15:00:17 GMT

Cruiser bikes have long been among the most beloved of all offerings, and it’s not hard to see why. Their relaxed riding style, wide handlebars and seemingly endless torque on offer are only some of the reasons why riders prefer them for shorter rides. But perhaps, the quintessential American charm of a cruiser is the dominating factor behind their popularity.

2023 Harley-Davidson CVO Street Glide And Road Glide Finally Have A Launch Date

Punya Sharma — Wed, 26 Apr 2023 11:35:17 GMT

A Closer Look At The Yamaha Bolt R-Spec

Bruno Maia — Sat, 22 Apr 2023 13:00:16 GMT

Ever since Harley-Davidson completely revamped the Sportster in 2021, the Motor Company left some fans of the little Harley without an affordable, custom-friendly, old-school entry-level motorcycle from the brand. The original Sportster has been around with only a few incremental changes and updates since 1957. There is, however, a Japanese cruiser from Yamaha that resembles, and improves upon the old Sportster in all the right ways. It’s the heritage motorcycle from Yamaha called Bolt R-Spec.

This Custom Harley-Davidson Breakout Is An Insane 2,100cc, 150-HP Beast

Punya Sharma — Fri, 21 Apr 2023 11:00:17 GMT

The Breakout is one of the finest Harley-Davidson cruisers money can buy. But we’re firm believers things can always get better, and Russia’s Box39 is also part of the same club. So to make the FXBR even better (and showcase its skills), the shop has transformed a 2022 Breakout into an insane 150-HP beast, ripe with truckloads of top-shelf components. There’s no shortage of small but significant touches either.

Zachary Dadfar — Tue, 18 Apr 2023 15:00:17 GMT

Cruiser motorcycles offer riders the perfect blend of power and comfort.

The Kawasaki Eliminator 400 Already Has A Chinese Nemesis

Punya Sharma — Sun, 16 Apr 2023 16:00:18 GMT

The entry-level cruiser segment is on an upwards trajectory. Kawasaki recently dived into it all guns blazing with the new 2023 Eliminator 400–a cruiser that beat the segment-leading Honda Rebel 500 in our spec-based comparison. But it might have its hands full again, as Chinese bikemaker Voge is set to debut the CU 525 cruiser with plenty of likable aspects. The motorcycle recently showed face in a couple of spy shots, and here’s what you should know about the Eliminator’s new Chinese nemesis.

One Of A Kind: Harley-Davidson Sportster S Becomes A Menacing Bobber

Punya Sharma — Sun, 16 Apr 2023 14:30:18 GMT

Ever since its inception a few years ago, the Sportster S has been the most modern Harley-Davidson cruiser out there. It also makes the thumper rather tricky to customize, which is why there aren’t many out-of-the-ordinary customs based on the cruiser. But if you’re Dirty Unicorn Customs, this just means a new challenge for you to take on. Doing just that, the British shop has transformed the modern cruiser into a menacing bobber that looks unlike any other Sportster S build we’ve seen. Or you might’ve seen.

10 Reasons Why The Harley-Davidson Road King Is The Perfect Touring Bike

Anthony Capobianco — Sat, 15 Apr 2023 15:00:18 GMT

The Harley-Davidson Road King is undoubtedly one of the brand's more popular and beloved models. It's big. It's comfortable. It's muscular. Best of all, it's affordable. The Road King is the ultimate embodiment of a well-rounded motorcycle that can handle almost any kind of riding style, and is the bike of choice for riders looking to do some light to heavy touring. When Harley-Davidson first introduced this motorcycle in 1994, it has consistently been at the top of riders' wish lists.

The Real Difference Between Harley-Davidson And Indian Bikes

Anthony Capobianco — Wed, 12 Apr 2023 13:30:18 GMT

There have been so many famous rivalries throughout history that there are just too many to count. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart vs Antonio Salieri. Nikola Tesla vs. Thomas Edison. Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier. Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees. iPhone vs Android. So it is not uncommon for rivalries to exist in the motorcycling world. This fact is not lost on anyone that rides a motorcycle, especially if they ride either a Harley-Davidson or an Indian. Two all-American motorcycle manufacturers that have existed for well over a century that have been delivering millions of miles and memories across multiple generations. Both of these companies have seen two world wars, 21 US presidents, nearly every economic catastrophe known to man, and 31 MTV Movie Awards. In that time both Harley-Davidson and Indian have made great strides in the motorcycling industry by developing all kinds of models, attracting millions of die-hard fans, and even having a few major appearances in popular culture.

A Closer Look At The Ducati Diavel V4

Bruno Maia — Wed, 12 Apr 2023 13:00:17 GMT

Not a lot of motorcycles deliver sport bike performance with cruiser-like comfort. Proof of that is how much buzz the future Buell Super-cruiser is causing, precisely for those reasons. But it’s not necessary to wait that long for a bona fide power cruiser, and from an already well-established brand nonetheless. Ducati managed to deliver the full package with the new 2023 Ducati Diavel V4.

The Real Difference Between Harley-Davidson And Metric Cruisers

Bruno Maia — Mon, 10 Apr 2023 13:00:17 GMT

Cruisers are built with comfort in mind, they’re laid-back, low-to-the-ground motorcycles designed for long-distance rides or big commutes. When thinking of a cruiser motorcycle, Harley-Davidson will always come to mind. There’s no way around this fact, Harley encompasses the American cruiser ethos perfectly. A big, low revving, torque-rich V-Twin with a distinctive rumble, arms stretched wide, forward foot controls, and an upright, if not slightly hunched forward seating position.

The Harley-Davidson ‘Bad Boy’ Is A Beefed Up Fat Boy From Europe

Punya Sharma — Sun, 09 Apr 2023 16:30:17 GMT

10 Reasons Why The Kawasaki Vulcan S Is A Great Entry Level Cruiser

Shravan M — Sun, 09 Apr 2023 14:00:18 GMT

As you may know (and this may come as a surprise for a few), the Kawasaki Vulcan has been around for decades (since 1985 to be precise) as Kawasaki's cruiser offering, but only recently has it gained popularity and relevance in the market, among new and seasoned riders alike. With the radically different Vulcan S, Kawasaki has reworked the concept of an affordable cruiser for modern times.

10 Most Popular Harley-Davidson Motorcycles

Andra DelMonico — Sat, 08 Apr 2023 14:00:17 GMT

The first Harley-Davidson hit the road in 1903. Since then, America's most famous motorcycle brand has produced countless two and three wheel models.

This Harley-Davidson Sportster Imitates A Lamborghini Boat To Leave You Speechless

Punya Sharma — Thu, 06 Apr 2023 13:16:17 GMT

Lamborghini-inspired custom Harley-Davidsons are no breaking news. We’ve already seen a Sportster pay homage to the iconic Murcielago, and an FXDR flaunt Lambo badges from head to toe. So when we read Italian bikemaker Hazard Motorcycles whipped up a Lambo-based custom Sportster, it didn’t really excite us. Little did we know, the inspiration didn't come from a supercar, but the Lamborghini Riva Aquarama–one of the most exquisite boats in the world.

Why We'd Pick A Metric Cruiser Over A Harley-Davidson Any Day

Bruno Maia — Thu, 06 Apr 2023 13:00:17 GMT

While some sport bike riders may disagree, Harley-Davidson makes excellent motorcycles for their intended purpose. However, the company has been deliberately positioning itself as a premium motorcycle brand for the past few years, with the current CEO, Jochen Zeitz, leading the change.

BMW Is Readying A Sportier R 18 Cruiser For You To Enjoy

Punya Sharma — Tue, 04 Apr 2023 12:00:17 GMT

Till 2020, BMW showed barely any interest in the cruiser segment. But the pendulum shifted big time when it debuted the mammoth R 18, and it has already birthed two variants of it - Transcontinental and Bagger - in these three years. Going full speed in the same direction, it seems BMW is now set to introduce a third variant of the R 18, this time focused on sportiness. This variant has been type-approved in Switzerland, as reported by Motorcycle.com .

10 Best Indian Cruisers Money Can Buy

Anthony Capobianco — Mon, 03 Apr 2023 14:00:18 GMT

Many motorcycle owners have one particular riding style in mind when it comes to saddling up on their bike. Some people think it's all about getting that adrenaline rush by cranking the throttle and pushing it past the red line, milking your bike for all its horsepower and torque, and that's fine. But for people that just want to cruise, it's more about taking it easy and unwinding after a long day. Whether you're riding down the street to your favorite local restaurant, hitting the highway, or roaming along the twisty back roads, cruising along on a motorcycle is like a brief vacation that you can take almost whenever you want.

As a result, Rick’s portfolio is ripe with scintillating projects, one of which we’ll check out here. It is based on one of our favorite Harleys, the Fat Boy, but comes wrapped in flames to leave a long-lasting burn on you. In a good way, of course.

Three Likes & Two Dislikes After Riding The 2023 Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650

Punya Sharma — Sun, 02 Apr 2023 14:01:17 GMT

Five years ago, Royal Enfield leveled up its game and debuted an all-new 650cc platform. The two motorcycles birthed from it - Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 - garnered plenty of interest in no time, and the only way to go from there was upward. Sadly, not much happened till 2022, as the 650cc lineup only received minor tweaks and new liveries.

5 Used Cruisers We Think Are Worth Buying (And 5 To Rather Avoid)

Dmitry Pavlovsky — Sun, 02 Apr 2023 14:01:17 GMT

It's hard not to love cruisers, you can tell yourself all you want that it's not your type of bike, but when you hear a Harley-Davidson ride by, you can't help but feel something shift, deep in your core. The high-end growl, the tough looks. There's just something unique about them, that we don't get with other types of motorcycles. And while it's a motorcycle with many positives, no one has ever said, 'hey look at that cool Versys 650!'

Here’s Why You Need A Harley-Davidson Nightster Special

10 Reasons Why We Love The New Indian Sport Chief

Harry Fisher — Fri, 31 Mar 2023 15:00:17 GMT

Cruisers are big, heavy motorcycles, designed to look good but lack the dynamics of a sport-tourer, right? Well, yes, by and large, that is exactly what they are, but in the ever-changing world of motorcycling, manufacturers are looking for more ways of skinning the same cat and creating more than one model out of any given platform.

This Custom Harley-Davidson Is So Outrageous, We Bet You Can’t Identify The Model

Punya Sharma — Fri, 31 Mar 2023 13:31:17 GMT

The Harley-Davidson custom scene is deep-rooted into all parts of the world. But it’s often the places you least expect that whip up the craziest builds. Case in context here is the Miltown Moonshine built by Taiwan’s Rough Crafts. Essentially a stripped-down bobber, the custom motorcycle is so outrageous, we bet you can’t make out what HD cruiser it’s based on. Go on, take a guess, and when you’re done trying, read on to know more.

10 Reasons Why We Love The Harley-Davidson Low Rider S

Joseph Adebisi — Thu, 30 Mar 2023 14:00:17 GMT

For many individuals, a Haley-Davidson is a lifestyle choice. A way of telling the world that you have opted for freedom and individuality. The new 2023 Low Rider S embodies the same independent mentality.

Harley-Davidson Fat Boy: Overrated Or Underrated

Anthony Capobianco — Tue, 28 Mar 2023 13:01:16 GMT

The Harley-Davidson Fat Boy has been one of the brand's most recognizable models since its debut in the early nineties. It's a low-profile cruiser with giant steamroller tires, floorboards, muscular build, open range of customization, and it's set at an affordable price. It really shot up in popularity when Arnold Schwarzenegger was seen riding it in the famous semi-truck chase scene in the 1991 film Terminator 2. Since then, it has been an all-American symbol of "machismo" on the global motorcycle market. Many Harley-Davidson competitors have attempted their own versions of the cruiser, though none of them have been able to perfectly replicate, let alone supersede it, and that earns it major respect points from the biker community.

Custom Harley-Davidson Sportster Wants You To Turn Heads Wherever You Go

Punya Sharma — Tue, 28 Mar 2023 12:45:17 GMT

Evolution-powered Sportsters enjoy unrivaled dominance in the used market, which has only grown stronger after Harley-Davidson pulled their plug last year. As a result, you can find umpteenth second-hand examples, although only a few of these are clean, amongst which a low-mile, custom-built Sportster is even rare. But if you’re in the market for it, your search ends right here. That’s because Iconic Motorbike Auctions has listed a mesmerizing custom Forty-Eight for you to own and cherish.

Can The Kawasaki Eliminator Rival The Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650?

Punya Sharma — Sun, 26 Mar 2023 17:30:17 GMT

When you think of Kawasaki, you picture the supercharged Ninja H2, KLR 650, or Z400, but almost never a cruiser. However, in an attempt to change this notion (slightly), Team Green has resurrected its iconic Eliminator moniker for 2023. First appeared in 1985 with a 900cc heart, the new Eliminator now takes a dig at the middleweight cruiser segment, primarily to dethrone the Honda Rebel 500.

Why Sport Bike Riders Are Transitioning To Cruisers

Anthony Capobianco — Sat, 25 Mar 2023 14:00:17 GMT

In the wide and diverse world of motorcycling, everyone starts off on something different. Some of us start out young on dirt bikes tearing it up in the suburbs and trails.

2023 Kawasaki Eliminator vs Honda Rebel 500: Which Entry Level Cruiser Is Best

Punya Sharma — Thu, 23 Mar 2023 13:01:17 GMT

The Eliminator name first appeared way back in 1985. In these 38 years, Kawasaki has sold it in multiple guises (from the prestigious 1000cc to the puny 125cc) but none of them made a sizable impact in international markets, especially America. Owing to this, the company pulled its plug in 2007. 16 years later, the Kawasaki Eliminator is back for 2023 with the aim to exploit the soaring 400-500cc cruiser segment. To do that, however, it needs to fend off (read bury) the Honda Rebel 500 which not only dominates the segment, but sells well in all markets (European, Asian, and American). Think it can do that? Well, wonder no more and allow our Eliminator vs Rebel 500 specification comparison to help you out.

Harry Fisher — Wed, 22 Mar 2023 15:01:18 GMT

Royal Enfield needs no introduction to motorcycle enthusiasts: after all, it is one of the oldest motorcycle manufacturers in the world, second only to Peugeot and older than Triumph, Norton, and Harley-Davidson. Indian was also formed in 1901 but has not been in continuous production like Royal Enfield. Not only that, but the Bullet model has been in production since 1931 and shows no signs of disappearing any time soon, which is a record in its own right. The Interceptor model first appeared in the 1960s, as a response to the Triumph Bonneville and continued until 1970.

10 Things That Make The Harley-Davidson Night Rod Special

Anthony Capobianco — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 14:00:18 GMT

Blacked-out cruisers always give off a sense of "aggression" and "mystery," a complete inverse to their flashy, chrome-heavy counterparts. A blacked-out motorcycle can often be described as something Batman would ride. While there have been many models throughout the years that have received this visual treatment, one in particular that has a tendency to stand out from the rest is the infamous Night Rod. Before it was discontinued, this motorcycle was the third iteration of the V-Rod which rode off into the sunset in 2017. Because the Night Rod stands out even among the V-Rod family, which already separates itself from the rest of Harley-Davidson's typical inventory, this motorcycle could easily be seen as the literal and figurative black sheep of the family.
