Buying your first motorcycle usually comes with a list. Helmet, gloves, jacket, maybe a battery tender, a cover and a box of tools you don’t know how to use yet. What usually doesn’t make the list is anything for the pickup that brings the motorcycle home. That changes quickly on pickup day. For many riders, a half-ton pickup like the Ford F-150 becomes part of the motorcycle ownership experience. It stops being just a daily driver and turns into the […] The post The First Motorcycle Accessory You Buy Might Be for Your Truck appeared first on webBikeWorld . ...

Ranking dirt is harder than ranking pavement. A great paved road is a great paved road for everyone, but off-road riding splits by terrain, skill and machine before you ever look at a map. A rider chasing Utah slickrock and a family hauling trail bikes to a private park in Michigan are planning two different vacations. So this list is organized by the kind of riding you’re after, and the unit here is the destination, not the individual trail. Nobody […] The post 12 Off-Road Riding Destinations Worth Loading the Truck For appeared first on webBikeWorld . ...

In December 1956, Soichiro Honda and his sales chief Takeo Fujisawa flew to Europe looking for their next big idea. They came back convinced that neither a moped nor a scooter would do. What they needed was something new entirely, built for a country where only one road in ten was paved and where the person riding to work might be wearing a business suit or a kimono. Two years later, that idea became the Honda Super Cub. Today, with […] The post How the Honda Super Cub Became the Best-Selling Vehicle in History appeared first on webBikeWorld . ...

This week, we have quite a bit of Italian fun in the roster, as well as a considerable record: For the 22nd time, Ducati has won the Manufacturers Title in WorldSBK, begging the query as to why Ducati keeps on winning. Suzuki has released their 2027 Hayabusa – and, in true Suzuki form, everything we like is still there under a fresh coat of paint. Royal Enfield has partnered with Rough Crafts in the release of their Limited Edition Rough […] The post Ducati Keeps Winning, New Bikes Ahoy from Suzuki and Royal Enfield appeared first on webBikeWorld . ...

In 1936, Harley-Davidson bet its future on an engine nobody had asked for. The country was still climbing out of the worst motorcycle sales slump in American history, and the company’s big twins were still running on decades-old flathead technology. Into that uncertain moment, Harley introduced the 61 OHV, complete with a new frame, a new fork and an entirely new overhead-valve V-twin. Nobody called it the Knucklehead yet. That name was still a decade away. What riders got, whether […] The post How the Harley-Davidson Knucklehead Defined the American V-Twin Sound appeared first on webBikeWorld . ...

This week, we have some industry news and a slew of new bikes: Dwayne Johnson’s partnering with Ben Affleck and Matt Damons label in a new stunt drama called Free Byrd, where the former wrestler plays a Las Vegas biker diagnosed with dementia. Harley-Davidson is officially reversing its overseas production shift and bringing the liquid-cooled Revolution Max platform back to American shores. Yamahas R6 is finally laid to rest while the new 2027 YZF-R9 and R9 SP are out a […] The post Dwayne Johnson’s New Motorcycle Stunt Movie, Harleys Bringing Max Revolution back to the US appeared first on webBikeWorld . ...

Nobody agrees on the best motorcycle road in America, which is half the fun of arguing about it. The country has 3.9 million miles of pavement and the overwhelming majority of it exists to move grain trucks and commuters. What’s left over, the roads that feel like they were built for riders even though none of them were, is what this list is about. Twelve routes, grouped by region. Some you already know. A couple you probably don’t, and those […] The post The Best Motorcycle Roads in America: 12 Routes Worth the Trip appeared first on webBikeWorld . ...
