Thu, 31 Aug 2023 17:26:39 GMT en-US hourly 60 We've all been waiting for it, and we're finally about to get it - the new-generation BMW R 1300 GS is almost here. The existence of the successor to the BMW 1250 GS has been no secret, since the Bavarian titan announced its launch back in June, on the occasion of their millionth boxer engine rolling off the production line. BMW confirmed that the 2024 R 1300 GS would finally break cover on 28 September, celebrating 100 years for the BMW Motorcycles division. That said, there's been plenty of information that has come to light over the past few months, including power, pricing, and even the weight and other dimensions of the upcoming touring motorcycle.

There is an incredible amount of quality new motorbikes getting churned out by not just the Big 4 of Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, and Suzuki, but more and more by European brands, some lesser known than Ducati. With an American flavor added as well, this list encompasses some of the best sport bikes on the market right now. These bikes are not necessarily the best sport bikes for beginners but rather offer some of the best performance, style, and smile factor each with its own distinct style.

One of their most popular motorcycles is the KTM 890 Adventure and the Adventure R, and quite rightly so. After all, the 890 Adventure R is a dream come true for every off-roading enthusiast, thanks to its fantastic capabilities on every possible terrain. The KTM Adventure R makes over 100 horsepower, thanks to a big 889cc engine, and while it's known for its off-roading chops, the motorcycle remarkably impressive on the tarmac as well.

It’s not a stretch to say that few can match its heritage and stature. It’s one of the oldest motorcycle manufacturers in the world, and it’s been through the trenches and back. Harley-Davidson is, for all intents and purposes, completely aligned with the American way, as it were.

]]> Mon, 28 Aug 2023 15:00:19 GMT https://www.hotcars.com/best-entry-harley-davidson-motorcycles/ There’s no denying that at the heart of every motorcycle ride, and every motorcycle for that matter, is what powers it. From single-cylinder marvels to V8 monstrosities, there’s been no shortage of options. Even today, saying there’s a wide variety would be a commendable understatement. Some have done a good job for the motorcycles they were intended for. Some others haven’t quite been a great fit, but they did the job nonetheless.

With the tautness of a naked roadster and the off-road riding worthiness of an adventure tourer, a scrambler is the best balance if you want something that goes fast and easy over off-road surfaces.

]]> Sun, 27 Aug 2023 16:51:54 GMT https://www.hotcars.com/awesome-scramblers-instead-of-adventure-bike/ Before we talk about the 2023 Triumph Scrambler 900, let’s revisit the history of the Triumph Scrambler range. Triumph introduced the Scrambler as the off-road counterpart to its Bonneville range of motorcycles – built to take on slightly rougher tarmac, so to speak. Back in 2006, the Triumph Scrambler was an air/oil-cooled, carburetor-fed 865 cc machine, although the 2008 Triumph Scrambler 900 moved to fuel injection. In 2017, Triumph launched the Street Scrambler with a 900cc engine, which it renamed as the Scrambler 900 for 2023. There’s also a Triumph Scrambler 1200, but that’s another model for another day.

Pretty much the first name that comes to mind when touring motorcycles are mentioned, the Gold Wing has been munching miles for almost half-a-century now, ever since its debut in MY 1975. Now in its sixth generation, the Honda Gold Wing is the flagship bike among Honda motorcycles, and has been going strong as ever. Riding on a powerful 1800cc engine, the Honda Gold Wing competes against the likes of the Indian Roadmaster, and the BMW K1600.

]]> Sat, 26 Aug 2023 13:00:22 GMT https://www.hotcars.com/2023-honda-goldwing-price-specs-features/ Through the years, as more countries started building motorcycles suited to their markets, designs started to become more distinct, more native, and certainly more evolved. Yet, nothing stops you in your tracks quite like a beautiful European motorcycle. Even in the modern world of emissions compliance, safety electronics, and data preceding design for products, European motorcycles - such as those from MV Agusta or Ducati - have an unmistakable, inimitable flair that instantly sets them apart. Not just in the way they look, but also in their engineering and experience.

]]> Sat, 26 Aug 2023 11:00:17 GMT https://www.hotcars.com/most-beautiful-modern-european-motorcycles/ In 2022, Yamaha Motorcycles introduced a new player in the extremely-competitive middleweight superbike segment. Gone was the incredibly popular R6, and the YZF750 as well, and in their place, the new-generation YZF- R7 arrived in all its glory. Instead of riding on the four-cylinder engine the Yamaha R6 did, the 2022 Yamaha R7 rode on a dual-cylinder motor, and boy were we skeptical. Of course, over two model years now, the YZF-R7 has proven to be a fantastic superbike, and one that can even hold its own against the liter-class. The first Yamaha R7 this side of the century, the 2022 Yamaha R7 has definitely left riders and critics equally impressed.

Owning a motorcycle is only a small part of the experience. There are a lot of practices and habits that are required to be ingrained before, during, and after every ride. These habits will not only make you a better rider but, more importantly, it will help you stay risk- and injury-free so that you can have a next ride to look forward to.

]]> Fri, 25 Aug 2023 13:00:20 GMT https://www.hotcars.com/good-riding-habits-for-motorcyclist/ There is good news for KTM fans, in that the 2024 KTM 1290 Super Duke R was recently spotted testing, and the spy shots reveal some interesting details. Fans first heard of the 2024 Super Duke R sometime in 2022 when spy shots captured a prototype tested in the Alps. It’s the middle of 2023 now and the fresh shots reveal even more details, which goes on to show that KTM is serious about the Super Duke R and fans just need to have a tad more patience.

]]> Thu, 24 Aug 2023 15:00:18 GMT https://www.hotcars.com/2024-ktm-1290-super-duke-r-everything-we-know/ The middleweight segment for sports motorcycles is rife with great bikes, and the KTM Duke 390 is inarguably one of the most popular bikes on offer today. As incredibly successful as the Duke 390 has been for the Austrian manufacturer, KTM has decided to keep things fresh with their star naked bike. As such, the Duke 390 is entering an all-new generation for the 2024 model year, and not only does it ride on a bigger engine, but it's going to make more power and torque than before. This time around, KTM is also equipping the 2024 Duke 390 with plenty of specs to boast about, with some brand-new features that we simply can't wait to test out ourselves.

]]> Thu, 24 Aug 2023 14:00:18 GMT https://www.hotcars.com/2024-ktm-390-duke-price-specs-and-features/ There are a number of things to look out for when considering your next motorcycle. Factors like genre, engine displacement, power and torque outputs, the features it packs in, how friendly it is to ride… the list is endless, really. But one of the biggest factors that’s often overlooked is reliability.

]]> Thu, 24 Aug 2023 13:00:19 GMT https://www.hotcars.com/most-reliable-motorcycle-brands/ There’s always been a lot of chatter in the build-up to one of KTM’s new offerings, and the 890 Duke R was no exception. For the 2023 model year, the KTM Duke has stuck with its core philosophy of cramming in a lot of performance and ability on to a compact frame.

]]> Wed, 23 Aug 2023 15:00:22 GMT https://www.hotcars.com/2023-ktm-890-duke-r-things-to-know/ There is an old motorcycling adage that says that riding a slow bike fast is much more fun than riding a fast bike slow. The Yamaha R7 is a case in point, the bike offering a modest amount of power shoehorned into a small, lightweight package with a sports bike heritage. Yamaha's most powerful motorcycles are a modern marvel, but the R7 takes a different approach to riding.

]]> Wed, 23 Aug 2023 13:00:19 GMT https://www.hotcars.com/yamaha-r7-is-best-sport-bike/ For years, Royal Enfield enjoyed the status quo in India as one of the best-selling mid-size motorcycles, but now, the Harley-Davidson X440 is shaking the foundation of the “Bullet” makers. While Harley-Davidson isn’t a new brand in India, this is the first time they are introducing an affordable motorcycle, now made within the country in a partnership with Hero MotoCorp.

]]> Wed, 23 Aug 2023 12:26:14 GMT https://www.hotcars.com/harley-davidson-x440-vs-royal-enfield/ KTM just dropped a bombshell with the launch of the all-new 2024 390 Duke, and now the streets can become your personal gymkhana. Boasting the agility of a caffeinated squirrel, the lightness of a feather in a windstorm, and the punch of a pro boxer, this middle-weight mischief-maker naked motorcycle, is itching to dance through every twist and twirl. Equipped with futuristic rider gadgets, a frame that's fresher than morning toast, an adjustable "choose-your-own-adventure" suspension, and a look that screams "I'm here to party", the 2024 KTM 390 Duke is surely going to be the undisputed king of asphalt antics! Let's take a closer look at this new 'corner rocket'.

Cruiser motorcycles in America are pretty much synonymous with both Harley and Indian Motorcycles, and one of the biggest names in the market is the Indian Roadmaster line of touring motorcycles. A fantastic touring motorcycle, the Roadmaster name is renowned all over the world for its luxury, comfort, sheer power, and refinement. With the 2023 model year, the Indian Roadmaster only gets better.

]]> Tue, 22 Aug 2023 15:01:18 GMT https://www.hotcars.com/2023-indian-roadmaster-price-specs-and-features/ One of the main differences between the Ducati Multistrada V4 and all the other V4s (like the Panigale or the Streetfighter) is that the Multistrada takes on all kinds of roads and riding because it comes specifically honed for adventure. We’d call it the best adventure sports bike available today, given Ducati built it with a specific purpose and target audience in mind. This motorcycle has a differently tuned engine and tech that is particularly suited to long riding hours on mixed terrain.

]]> Tue, 22 Aug 2023 14:23:19 GMT https://www.hotcars.com/ducati-multistrada-v4-best-adventure-sports-bike/ In 2013, Honda Motorcycles brought forth a new line of motorcycles, bearing the CTX nameplate. Quite a significant departure from Honda's motorcycles, up until then in terms of design, the 2014 Honda CTX 700 did garner a fair bit of attention, and rightly so. The Honda CTX 700 motorcycles offered versatility and comfort, along with a remarkable amount of power. There is no denying that the new styling for the CTX 700 bikes was definitely mixed, and there is simply no denying that the Honda CTX 700 is an impressive machine overall. Above all, the inclusion of an automatic transmission, with the Honda CTX DCT, was the biggest selling point for this motorcycle.

That was the year that Honda launched the CB750. Here was a motorcycle that outdid its rivals in almost every way. It packed in more performance and reliability, had better equipment, cost less than its competition, and was manufactured with what we now recognize as typical Japanese precision.

The brand has already cemented its position in the mid-range, entry level big bike market with the introduction of the Continental GT650 and the INT 650. The newly introduced Super Meteor is also no different. The bike looks like the most beautifully made Royal Enfield ever or as Royal Enfield likes to call it “The quintessential cruiser, sculpted for the open road”.

]]> Mon, 21 Aug 2023 11:00:19 GMT https://www.hotcars.com/royal-enfield-super-meteor-650-best-beginner-cruiser/ If you had enough money in the bank and wanted to tour the world, would you buy a brand new liter-class adventure bike for $15,000, or buy a smaller bike for $7,000 and spend the rest on travel? If you were an aspiring motorcyclist about a decade ago, then adventure bikes were out of the question. Large, tall machines with liter-plus engines that could take you to the ends of the earth and back - adventure motorcycles were hardly the machines for new riders to swing a leg over.

]]> Sun, 20 Aug 2023 14:27:16 GMT https://www.hotcars.com/awesome-adventure-bikes-for-beginner-riders/ In the motorcycling world, there aren't a lot of names bigger than that of Harley-Davidson. Over the course of 120 historic years, Harley-Davidson Motorcycles has built some of the most powerful, iconic, and legendary motorcycles the world has ever seen. As such, the brand has rightfully earned its place in the two-wheeler hall of fame. In fact, Harley-Davidson is one of the strongest pillars of this hall of fame itself. Harley wouldn't have been the name it is today without some of the greatest, best-selling, and most impressive motorcycles over the course of their history, and these Harley motorcycles from the past are still just as important, not just to the American manufacturer, but motoring enthusiasts across the world.

Other than choice and performance, the one thing that everyone keeps in mind with a new motorcycle purchase is the budget.

Well, they exist, but when you think of motorcycles that pack in more than four cylinders, they’re not seen as a necessity. The fact is that because of the space restriction on motorcycles, engineering a six-cylinder engine is a lot more complex. They’re wide, heavy, and while they technically are able to produce more power than a four-cylinder engine, the need for it is debatable.

The Japanese manufacturer’s KX series has always been one of the default options for buyers to consider in the motocross segment.

These motorcycles can impress one with just their clean designs, with a keen focus on being timeless and elegant. They might not have the electronics and features that an equally-priced sports bike gets. However, these motorcycles can remain relevant for decades to come.

]]> Thu, 17 Aug 2023 18:00:18 GMT https://www.hotcars.com/best-retro-styled-motorcycles/ Motorcycles continue to evolve at a frightening rate. Manufacturers are equipping their superbikes with tech that’s making them highly track-focused machines, while also being road-legal. They all have compact dimensions, a massive amount of power, can turn on a dime, and plenty of electronics. Meanwhile, middleweight sport bikes are now also being equipped with technology that showed up on their liter-class equivalents from a few years ago.

Early on, single-cylinder motorcycles were the dominant force. It was only after the second World War that parallel twins and the multi-cylinder engines took over.

The Japanese manufacturer has been slowly and continuously refining the Kawasaki adventure bike since way back in 1984 when it first debuted. In the first three years of its production, it was the KLR 600 that did the job, with the KLR 650 only debuting in 1987.

Yamaha, as an instance, has their YZF range. Suzuki is synonymous with their GSX line, and Honda, of course, have their renowned CBR lineup. As for Kawasaki, their 'Z' models have a storied past, and are equally exceptional in their own right. The first Z1 that appeared all the way back in 1972 was an instant hit. It was a response to Honda’s incredible CB750, and it catapulted Kawasaki into the big leagues.

Just when you thought you'd seen it all, along comes Ola Electric, India's very own electric vehicle (EV) giant, with a "brand new" electric motorcycle concept. And by brand new, we mean, "Hey, haven't I seen that somewhere before?" At a recent event held in India, the electric EV giant unveiled some new electric scooters, and they also showcased their latest electric motorcycle concepts. Set for a 2024 release, Ola is gearing up to unveil four distinct motorcycles: the Cruiser, Roadster, Adventure, and its flagship, the Diamondhead. While the company remained tight-lipped about the motorcycles' specifics at their recent event, aptly called 'End ICE Age', the prototypes of these electric motorcycles look great. The Diamondhead in particular is pretty futuristic and outlandish, and it does have striking similarities with the Tesla Cybertruck; in fact, you would be forgiven for assuming that the Diamondhead is a Tesla motorcycle.

So, BMW debuted the R nineT in 2014 and took all the retro touches it needed from 1923’s BMW R32. In fact, the name “nineT” comes from the fact that the R32 came 90 years before its launch. For all its retro styling, the BMW R nineT is as modern as it comes, giving riders the best of both worlds. It rides as good as it looks and makes a great custom motorcycle with classic looks but all the performance and handling that its competition brings to the table.

This entry-level sports bike has set up several benchmarks with its prime focus on performance, handling, and the way it comes equipped with features – all with a touch of extremity. After taking the RC 390 into consideration, even some of the larger-sized and more powerful motorcycles look like they have some room for improvement.

What might be considered great to you may be completely pointless for another, and vice versa. As an example, the Honda Africa Twin’s phenomenal off-roading ability may be a useless trait for someone whose use-case for a motorcycle is only restricted to well-paved, smooth tarmac.

Keep in mind that not all the motorcycles on this list are currently in production. Some of them, like the Harley-Davidson FXDR, have been discontinued. But the beauty of an evolved market is that there are plenty of used options available in good nick, provided you’re willing to do a little research.

Armed with Kawasaki's liquid-cooled 292cc engine, there are currently three motorcycles in theKLX 300 lineup. While the Kawasaki KLX 300R is a dirt bike, the KLX 300 is Kawasaki's most powerful dual-sport motorcycle, with the supermoto KLX 300SM coming in at the end. These fuel-injected motorcycles offer low and mid-end torque quite remarkably, which makes them some of the most impressive (and affordable) Japanese motorcycle offerings on the market today.

A humble single is indeed a bold move for a heritage-driven motorcycle maker that has always been synonymous with its iconic V-twin rumble. But this bold move is necessary for Harley to spread its wings further, especially in the east. The all-new X440 Roadster is the perfect weapon for Harley-Davidson to achieve a mass-market appeal.

Once part of the BMW Group, Husqvarna is now owned by KTM, which is why the 2023 Husqvarna 401 Svartpilen is a rebadged and restyled version of the 2018 KTM Duke 390.

However, the Honda CBR500R is one motorcycle that manages to tone down this notion to a great extent. With a core focus on practicality and friendliness to riders new to fully-faired sport bikes, the CBR500R is not your other extreme fully-faired super sport.

Usually bigger and heavier than most other motorcycles, it takes a little time to get used to the larger dimensions of touring motorcycles, so getting a used one is a better idea. That way, the dings, and dents won’t hurt as much, and it can be much cheaper in the long run.

While supersport bikes in the 600cc category and the liter-class are some of the fastest motorcycles in the world, they certainly aren't for everyone. However, that doesn't mean you always have to sacrifice power for comfort, and hyper-naked street motorcycles prove exactly that.

]]> Fri, 28 Jul 2023 21:25:17 GMT https://www.hotcars.com/2024-triumph-speed-400/ Royal Enfield is showing no signs of slowing down, despite challenges from Harley-Davidson and Triumph.

Following the launch of the new Bullet 350, which is set for August next month, the next exciting addition appears to be a one-of-a-kind 350cc bobber.

In fact, if anyone across the world thinks of a cruiser, chances are they're thinking of a Harley. Of course, with that type of heritage, power, and refinement, also comes a steep price. It is no secret that Harley-Davidson motorcycles aren't usually in the budget of an average enthusiast.

After all, superbikes is where all the real fun begins. Often, superbikes are considered motorcycles with 1000cc engines or higher, while also being more sports-oriented than cruiser motorcycles. However, many sub-1000cc bikes, too, make the cut into superbike territory. Some of the most popular examples would be the Yamaha R7, and even the Honda CBR 600RR. Superbikes are all about sheer power, performance, and agility, but it all means nothing if the machine itself isn't reliable.

Whether it’s hitting the trails, cruising the back roads, or even barreling down the center-line at the high end of sixth gear, all motorcycles are built with purpose.

We've all seen them at some point, and have certainly heard them. That distinctively low, burbling exhaust note of a Harley V-twin is melody that's been familiar for decades, even for those who don't even ride. In fact, Harley-Davidson even tried to legally trademark the sound of their engines back in 1994, although thankfully, the courts ruled against the decision. Nonetheless, this is just one of many examples of just how engrained Harley-Davidson has become within our minds, not just as riders, but as members of the human race.

No matter how impressive a motorcycle's spec sheet is, nothing matters more than its reliability. After all, bikes are made to have fun, and there shouldn't ever be interruptions in fun. As such, trying to figure out if the motorcycle you fancy is reliable or not could be tough affair. Truth be told, reliability date on motorcycles and motorcycle manufacturers isn't nearly as commonly found or as accurate as that for cars.
