Could you do the Iron Butt Association #motorcycle ride from the northern tip of Alaska to Key West, Florida? Could you do it at age 80? www.revzilla.com/common-tread...

Will we see an off-road #motorcycle from BMW? What about a smaller sport bike? At a BMW event at the Circuit of the Americas, Common Tread's Zack Courts had a chance to ask some questions of BMW Motorrad CEO Markus Flasch. www.revzilla.com/common-tread...

What a disaster for Bobby Fong in MotoAmerica Superbike race two of three. Could have finished third and gone into the final race with a big advantage, but crashed on the last lap. Still one race to go in New Jersey to decide it among the top three. MotoAmerica #motorcycle racing.

Two orange bikes on the podium for Saturday's King of the Baggers race as RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines H-D riders Hayden Gillim and Rocco Landers finish first and third. Let's see what happens today. And who will win the Superbike title.

Can you really go adventuring off-road on Can-Am's new Canyon "adventure trike?" What about two-up? A Common Tread contributor gives it a go. See his account. www.revzilla.com/common-tread...

The best #motorcycle riders in the world work with riding coaches. If you're one of those motorcyclists who say you have nothing to learn from advanced rider training, is it really because you know everything or are your pride and insecurity getting in the way? theridesofar.com/2025/09/how-...

For my 1,000th post on Bluesky, how about a gratuitous cat photo? Haven't done one of those in a while. Here's Tempest working on her tan lines. Cats know how to relax.

Indian takes its King of the Baggers Challenger race bike to the Bonneville Salt Flats and sets a record close to 200 mph. See the video. #motorcycle news www.jpcycles.com/common-tread...

Ducati unveils its 2026 V4 R, a $50,000 sport bike with all the goodies. Is it total overkill on the street? Of course. But it's also the basis for Ducati's Superbikes, and in racing, every incremental advance is a step toward a win. #motorcycle news at Common Tread www.revzilla.com/common-tread...

As promised, today we have part two of our all-around test of the 2025 Honda Transalp. I did the on-road long-distance test, and today we get Spurgeon's verdict on the Transalp's off-road ability. #motorcycle news and reviews at Common Tread www.revzilla.com/common-tread...

If you missed the race, see the video of Haiden Deegan trying several times to crash Jo Shimoda in the last moto of the SuperMotocross Playoffs 250 class race at Las Vegas over the weekend. It didn't end the way Deegan hoped. #motorcycle news at Common Tread www.revzilla.com/common-tread...

A thoughtful (as usual) and interesting take on the narrowing focus on MotoGP. And a devastating analysis of how the seemingly objective method of selecting Hall of Famers is really unjust and not at all smart.

Today at Common Tread, part one of our two-part review, both on-road and off-road, of the 2025 Honda Transalp. Is this the one #motorcycle that can do it all, at least for some riders? www.revzilla.com/common-tread...

Honda provides a look at its first production electric #motorcycle, soon to be available in Europe. www.revzilla.com/common-tread...

Today at Common Tread, Ari Henning test rides the new Suzuki GSX-8T. Everything about it that's new has to do with looks, not performance, but he gave it a spin just the same. The bones are good. How you like the look is up to you. #motorcycle news and reviews www.revzilla.com/common-tread...

The #motorcycle manufacturers continue to pump out limited-edition, high-cost halo bikes. Today at Common Tread we take a first look at Ducati's Diavel V4 RS and Multistrada V4 RS, new $40,000 flagships for those lines. www.revzilla.com/common-tread...

If you think the only #motorcycle #racing that happened today was the #MotoGP sprint, check out the great competition in the MotoAmerica Superbike race at Circuit of the Americas. You can watch the race free on YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7B6D...

You can cross continents on a 50 cc scooter (it's been done) but that doesn't mean you'd necessarily want to. Time on a BMW G 310 GS led me to consider the question of what is the smallest #motorcycle I'd really want to travel on. The answer will differ for everyone. www.revzilla.com/common-tread...

BMW and Honda release videos of their electric #motorcycle concepts, but details are more scarce than we expected, especially with Honda. We expected more info on the "EV FUN" model. And as for BMW, don't they remember the C1? www.revzilla.com/common-tread...

The three-round SuperMotocross Playoffs and the big prize money that comes with it have changed the sport of motocross. Riders keep racing for points even after the MX title has been decided. And now, TV coverage actually focuses on who finishes 20th. www.revzilla.com/common-tread...

Emissions regulations have forced the end of the line in the EU for the enduringly popular Suzuki SV650, but it still carries on its quarter-century run in the U.S. market, back for 2026. #motorcycle news at Common Tread. www.revzilla.com/common-tread...

Would you pay $13,000 for a 30-horsepower single-cylinder #motorcycle? What if it was made to order in the United States and looked like nothing else? Today at Common Tread, see a first report on the new Janus Gryffin 450 Scrambler. www.revzilla.com/common-tread...

One of the "joys" of social media is when people comment on an article of mine, which they clearly haven't read, and assume it says something totally stupid that it does not, in fact, say.

Following a downturn in sales of new motorcycles in the U.S. in the first half of the year, signs are emerging of weakness in prices for used motorcycles, a former bright spot for dealers. #Motorcycle news at Common Tread. www.revzilla.com/common-tread...

Less than a year ago, despite a successful 2024 season, Bobby Fong was still searching for a ride in MotoAmerica Superbike. Today, he's on the top team in the paddock and leading the championship. The line between success and extinction in #motorcycle racing is thin. www.revzilla.com/common-tread...

Riding two of the best middleweight adventure-touring motorcycles shows why these are among the most versatile rides on two wheels. And it also reveals some subtle but key differences. #motorcyce review; #motosky theridesofar.com/2025/08/tuar...

Today at Common Tread, another entry in our series "Bikes that made me." Years ago, a young Marine had cash in his pocket and made a bad choice for a first #motorcycle. Maybe you can relate. He plans to do it right the second time. www.revzilla.com/common-tread...

On a recent, beautiful, 80-degree day with no chance of rain, this is the motorcycle-only parking at the American Motorcyclist Association. Not one employee chose to ride a #motorcycle to work under ideal conditions. Wonder why the AMA is out of touch with riders?

Getting caught up after my travels and with #MotoGP racing at a new track this weekend, I knew just where to go to get the info I need to watch the races with some understanding.

The Kawasaki H2 SX SE is a big, bold, powerful, smooth, highly competent, interestingly unique sport-touring #motorcycle. But it has some serious, in-house competition at roughly half the price. See Zack's review today at Common Tread. #motosky www.revzilla.com/common-tread...

Another headache for #motorcycle manufacturers importing to the U.S. as new tariffs are applied on the amount of steel and aluminum in the bikes. But just some motorcycles. Not all. #motosky www.revzilla.com/common-tread...

The latest edition of the Highside/Lowside #motorcycle #podcast is out and this one is the annual episode devoted to answering comments and questions from listeners. Such as: Is air conditioning the next feature for the Gold Wing? #motosky www.revzilla.com/common-tread...

With his 90th win across all classes, Cameron Beaubier becomes the winningest rider in AMA Pro roadracing history. His win capped a dramatic weekend of racing that was a disaster for the Ducati team and defending champion Josh Herrin. #motorcycle racing; #motosky www.revzilla.com/common-tread...

One candidate for hardest working MotoAmerica rider is Hayden Gillim, who qualified eighth in Superbike, peeled off his sweaty Honda leathers, had a few minutes to catch his breath, then pulled on his RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines gear and captured pole position in King of the Baggers. #motorcycle

What year is it?! I'm at Mid-Ohio for the MotoAmerica round and some local named Larry Pegram (below) went out on a Team Hammer Suzuki and qualified eighth in Supersport. If that's not confusing enough, Jeremy McWilliams (age 60+!) is racing Supersport AND Super Hooligans. #motorcycle #motosky

MotoGP announces a new free streaming service for U.S. fans. But there's a catch. #MotoGP #motorcycle racing #motosky www.revzilla.com/common-tread...
