The first motorcycles were born when folks with an engineering bent took what was then called the safety bicycle, bolted a single-cylinder engine inside the diamond frame, incorporated a fuel tank and a leather drive belt, and they were motorcycling.

Riding those first machines was a completely engaging and entirely manual affair in every way. Throttle, spark advance, engine lubrication, heck even pedaling to get up a hill, were all operated by the rider.

How different things are today.

Another in the books. 🏍️

Oregon brought the full experience: rainy rides, chilly mornings, campfires, new friends, familiar faces, and plenty of time spent exploring the PNW on two wheels.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the RevZilla booth, joined us for coffee & s'mores, checked out the Tech-Air demo, or just came by to say hi. We’re already looking forward to the next one. 🤘

The chaos and charisma of Royal Enfield's INT Bear 650 👉Read more on Common Tread: https://rvz.la/4znoV4G

It’s easy enough to take one look at Royal Enfield’s Bear 650 and declare that it isn’t a good scrambler. How is it supposed to “scramble” when the exhaust is dangling down under the engine and the suspension isn’t tall enough? And yet it might be the truest interpretation of a scrambler available today.

For starters, the recipe is correct. Scramblers are modified street bikes, after all, or at least that’s how they started. As the tree of motorcycling grew new branches over the course of the 20th century, off-road machines sprouted in a few different directions. For a brief period — before true dirt bikes proliferated and created a market of their own — full-sized, road-going motorcycles were crudely modified to create quasi-off-road contraptions.

Tropical heat, brutal tire degradation, and zero room for error. Welcome to Mandalika.

The IndonesianGP is easily one of the most unpredictable stops on the MotoGP calendar. Between the scorching track surface temperatures and the wild coastal humidity on Lombok island, keeping modern aero and rear tires happy for a full race distance is a nightmare for the engineers.

With the championship points battle tighter than a fresh set of race leathers, who’s taking the top step of the podium this weekend?

This month we’ve got three custom builds that aren't for the faint of heart.

Leading the way is a Royal Enfield Bear 650 build by Australia's Black Cycles that blurs the line between form and function. Second, German builder Rind Performance creates a pork-themed BMW R80RT homage to one of Porsche's most iconic Le Mans race cars. And last, but certainly not least, is a Kawasaki ZRX1200 built for the galaxy's most infamous Dark Lord by French builder Jerem Motorcycles.

Billy Joel to Auction Motorcycle Collection This Fall 👉Read on Common Tread: https://rvz.la/3UbqJPi
•
Billy Joel’s two-wheeled fascination started in his teenage years, but he only seriously took up motorcycling after finding success in the late 1970s. That obsession segued into business when Joel opened his Long Island-based motorcycle shop and gallery, 20th Century Cycles, in 2010.

Sadly, that all changed last year, when the “Uptown Girl” singer was diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). Now, the celebrated singer/songwriter is preparing to auction his collection of more than 70 motorcycles.
