It was a last minute decision, but I’m heading out to Vegas first thing tomorrow morning to catch the Mecum auction, see a few friends, and have a special dinner meeting with my favorite motorcycle museum in the US – but more on that later, hopefully.

A few of you picked up on this in the post about selling my Honda RC30, but I replaced it with a BMW a few months ago. Specifically, it’s a BMW HP2 Megamoto!

For years, EICMA’s had a contest for the most beautiful bike at the show, and for those same years Italian locals have ruined it by only voting for whatever Ducati or MV Agusta have made. So it should be no surprise that this year, this award went to the MV Agusta Superveloce Ago. My sass aside, the only good news …

One of my favorite stories to write here on Bike-urious was a review of the Royal Enfield Himalayan. The bike’s got some updates for 2022, and Royal Enfield has asked me to join for the press launch tomorrow. What would you like to know about it?

Post Sale Update: This MV Agusta F3 RC sold for $16,799 after 31 bids on Iconic Motorbike Auctions in Van Nuys, California. Soon after updating the F3 from the 675 to the 800, MV announced the Reparto Corse (RC), a bike inspired by MV’s 800cc racer in World SuperSport.

The GS550 was Suzuki’s answer to the Kawasaki Gpz550 that was a smashing sales success in the …

I originally shared the Press Release for this a couple of weeks ago, but now I’m bringing it back to give you the opportunity to ask questions as I’m currently in the Mile High City to try both of these bikes out tomorrow – and then I’ll be riding back home to Los Angeles over the next couple of days. …

UPDATE: Here’s my review! No posts today (Thursday) as I’m at the US launch for the new Aprilia Tuono V4. Like the new RSV4, it gets a new face, a new swingarm, and…that’s mostly it. But seeing as last year’s model was incredible, it’s not like big changes were needed anyway.

The Hayabusa has been around since 1999, but I’m never had the chance to try one myself. That finally changes today, as Suzuki has graciously lent me one for a couple of weeks. Tomorrow, I’m taking it up the coast to Laguna Seca to see how it does on the highway, on backroads, and even how it goes down the …
