Road Tested: The ultra-compact Biltwell Exfil-2 tank bag

27 March 2024 @ 9:13 pm

Biltwell Exfil-2 tank bag review I have a love-hate relationship with tank bags. Having storage space right in front of you on a long ride is undeniably useful—but if a tank bag is too big, or stuffed too full, it can quickly become ungainly. And then there are the myriad ways in which tank bags attach to bikes; some easy and some painfully complex. For my needs, a small tank bag that keeps my pockets uncluttered and doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb on the tank of my Triumph Bonneville fits the bill. So when our friends at Biltwell Inc. offered to send a little care package my way, I politely requested one of their Exfil-2 mini tank bags.

Black Puddin’: An irreverent Suzuki GS1200SS by Sticky’s Speed Shop

26 March 2024 @ 6:09 pm

Custom Suzuki GS1200SS by Sticky's Speed Shop ‘Sticky Matt’ Coulter, the proprietor of Sticky’s Speed Shop, is no stranger to an oil-cooled Suzuki. But despite a back catalog of Bandits, Slabsides, Slingshots, Harris frames, and drag choppers, all utilizing the iconic inline-four, Sticky Matt had long craved to build one Suzuki in particular. His Holy Grail of production bikes; the 2007 Suzuki GS1200SS. Though plentiful on the shores of Japan and New Zealand, the Suzuki GS1200SS made it to the UK in very limited numbers, with even fewer surviving today. So when Matt eventually tracked one down—disassembled and spread across multiple boxes—he made it his.

Speed Read: A retro-fabulous Yamaha WR155 scrambler and more

24 March 2024 @ 5:12 pm

The latest custom motorcycles, scramblers, and cafĂ© racers. This week’s selection of custom bikes is all about the finishes. We have a Yamaha WR155 scrambler with a classic ‘speed block’ livery, a Honda CRF450 with art by a four-year-old, and a Hero Honda Hunk cafĂ© racer with a livery inspired by single malt whiskey. Pier City Cycles brings it home, delivering a BMW R nineT with a paint job you could drown in.

Wicked Cool: K-Speed’s custom Triumph Scrambler 400 X and Speed 400

23 March 2024 @ 5:01 pm

Custom Triumph Scrambler 400 X and Speed 400 by K-Speed Thailand’s K-Speed is a house of many talents. But there’s one particular trick that they excel at, and that’s turning small-capacity motorcycles into custom machines with big attitudes. So we’re not the least bit surprised to see them apply their signature style to the freshly minted Triumph Scrambler 400 X and Speed 400. Created in collaboration with the massive Indian marque Bajaj, Triumph’s new 398 cc singles exist to offer potential customers a lower point of entry into the brand. They’ve been well received so far, with particular praise for their looks and finishes. If we’re being honest, they’re the type of bikes that don’t part

First Look: The LiveWire S2 Mulholland electric cruiser

22 March 2024 @ 2:24 pm

2024 LiveWire S2 Mulholland electric cruiser Even though it was born from the world’s most prolific cruiser company, the all-electric LiveWire brand’s catalog has been curiously devoid of any cruisers… until now. Get a load of the new $15,999 LiveWire S2 Mulholland. LiveWire calls it an electric performance cruiser—which is fine, provided you’re happy to play fast and loose with the term ‘cruiser.’ Available immediately in North America, the LiveWire S2 Mulholland is the second electric motorcycle to use LiveWire’s S

Lightning Strike: A Buell XB12S street fighter from France

20 March 2024 @ 6:59 pm

Buell XB12S street fighter by Matao Buell’s tempestuous history is sprinkled with moments of sheer motorcycling brilliance. And the XB series of the early 2000s ranks high on the American motorcycle company’s list of greatest hits. The Buell XB had tongues wagging for an array of reasons when it first hit the scene. Not only did the XB’s fuel-in-frame design go on to be a Buell hallmark, but the bike also used an oil-bearing swingarm, perimeter front disc brake, and compact underslung exhaust system. All this in an uncompromising streetfighter package powered by an H-D Sportster powerplant.

Revealed: The 2024 Husqvarna Svartpilen 801 breaks cover

19 March 2024 @ 8:56 pm

2024 Husqvarna Svarpilen 801 Husqvarna teased us two weeks ago with a camouflaged prototype of the long-awaited Svartpilen 801. The production version of the Husqvarna Svartpilen 801 has just broken cover—and it’s pretty much the same bike, sans stickers. Surprised? The 2024 Husqvarna Svartpilen 801 replaces the single-cylinder Svartpilen 701 as the big brother to the smaller 125 and 401 variants. No longer a thumper, it now boasts a 799 cc parallel-twin engine, good for 105 hp, with a respectable dry weight of 181 kilos [399 pounds]. The frame is a chromium-molybdenum affair that uses the engine as a stressed member.

Road Tested: Saint Engineered Classic denim motorcycle jacket

16 March 2024 @ 5:01 pm

Saint Engineered Classic motorcycle jacket review Saint came out of nowhere when they burst onto the scene with the world’s first single-layer CE-approved motorcycle denim. The Melbourne-based brand has been developing its ever-expanding range of products ever since, so today we’re looking at one of their newest items—the Saint Engineered Classic denim motorcycle jacket. The Engineered Classic jacket is constructed from, you guessed it, Saint’s ‘Engineered’ denim. That puts it at a lower price point than the company’s ‘Unbreakable’ products, while still earning it a CE class AA rating. (If you’re not a gear nerd, like me, AA is the second-highest rating for CE-approved motorcycle app

Waking Up the Neighbors: A wild Yamaha Virago by Purpose Built Moto

15 March 2024 @ 5:01 pm

Custom Yamaha Virago by Purpose Built Moto Purpose Built Moto is no one-trick pony. The Australian workshop is up for anything, with a portfolio that boasts a wide variety of brands and custom build styles. Even so, they raised a doubtful eyebrow when the brief for this custom Yamaha Virago landed in their inbox. “I wasn’t sure if we would take on this build,” says the workshop’s founder, Tom Gilroy. “The XV750 isn’t one of my favorite bikes to work on, that’s no secret. I find them over-saturated in the custom world, and often undercooked.”
