Last fall, a group of engineers from Indian Motorcycles decided they would tackle the land speed races at El Mirage with a Scout and a Dark Horse.

Monster Energy has just released the first episode of their five part series on Valentino Rossi, one of the greatest motorcycle riders of all time.

Someone on Reddit’s r/motorcycles has shared full Australian catalogs from Honda, Yamaha, and Kawasaki in 1994 (with a bonus of Kawi’s catalog from 1993) as well. Come take a trip down memory lane.
