Go check out the @ogmotoshow today! I was there la Go check out the @ogmotoshow today! I was there last night and was pleased to see a bunch of old friends and beautiful bikes, especially the XPZERO from @hugoeccles, @maxwellhazan's turbocharged Buell S1 (and his RC51 track bike), a stunning Ducati/Pierobgon with Carlos Checa's WSBK motor from @wooliesworkshop, and the amusingly-named Banana Hammock. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Plus there was an adorable dog named Denver at the @baakusa booth! Tickets are available at the door, enjoy!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #OutliersGuild #OGMotoShow4 #OGMS4
From a 1976 @motorcyclistonline review of the Yama From a 1976 @motorcyclistonline review of the Yamaha XS360: “What Yamaha’s done here is close much of the credibility gap betwixt little bike and big bike, evidenced by their expensive electrics and point adjustment systems, electric starter, trick flashers, and on and on. Small only in displacement and wheelbase, Yamaha’s new generation four-stroke twin is a wire to wire winner that’s going to make their contemporaries hump like they never humped before.”⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Humpin' aside, check out this lovely <2,000 mile example that @motobenco has up for sale! He says it's "all original down to the protective wrap on the levers," and I love the period livery! You can find it (and a couple of other classic Yamaha's) on his IG profile:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ @motobenco
I wish the photos were better, but I still have to I wish the photos were better, but I still have to share this crazy find that a reader sent me. Meet the "Buella", a Buell/Honda hybrid that features a Buell 1,200cc V-twin engine in a "modified" Honda CR500 frame. Somehow, it's street legal and California plated...⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ It's currently on Craigslist in the Bay Area for $4,300 for anyone that's lost their mind. Link in bio if that sounds like you!
I thought the 2019 Tracer 900 GT was an excellent I thought the 2019 Tracer 900 GT was an excellent motorcycle, but I had a few complaints: the passenger pegs interfered with my heels, the upshift-only quickshifter was a little clunky under partial load, the saddlebags were a little small, it had a surprisingly tall seat height, the ignition switch was in a dumb location, etc. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ I know that this isn’t what actually happened, but the new Tracer 9 GT makes me feel like @yamahamotorusa read my review of the preceding model and decided to fix almost every single thing I whined about, major or minor. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Then they proceeded to make it hideous so I’d have something to complain about this time around, but I can let the looks slide because this new Tracer is such a fantastic sport-touring machine.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Link in bio for my First Ride Review!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Photos by @josephagustinphoto⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #yamaha #tracer9gt #roadsoflife
I can't share my thoughts on the bike until next W I can't share my thoughts on the bike until next Wednesday, but the new @yamahamotorusa Tracer 9 GT makes for a good #wheeliewednesday platform!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ First Ride Review coming next week, Link In Bio for Yamaha's web page.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #yamaha #tracer9gt #roadsoflife
Wheelie Wednesday seems like the perfect day to sh Wheelie Wednesday seems like the perfect day to share my First Ride Review for the @aprilia_americas Tuono V4 and V4 Factory!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Back when Aprilia first launched the Tuono in the US, Mitch Boehm wrote the following in a story for Motorcyclist: “this is the bike I — and a lot of 40-and-over riders — have been looking (and asking) for for a long time. It’s amazing it took an upstart Italian company to do it. Or maybe it isn’t.”⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Obviously, other companies have since copied the formula, but based on my day with the Tuono last week, Aprilia’s still doing it best. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Even better, they've differentiated the base model and given it a true purpose by making it a sport-tourer of sorts. Don't worry, the Factory still rips (duh).⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Link in bio for the review!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Photos by @larry_chen_foto
A designer at @bmwmotorradusa has lost their mind, A designer at @bmwmotorradusa has lost their mind, and I love it.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ BMW has been offering the “Option 719” package for a few years – decades ago the internal code 719 was used for one-off customization requests, so modern BMW has semi-bastardized it by offering “exclusive optional extras” under that same code for a little bit of flair. The Option 719 paint job for the just-announced R18 B and R18 Transcontintenal is “Galaxy Dust metallic/Titanium Silver 2 metallic”, and it is CRAZY.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Per BMW, “Galaxy Dust metallic is an iridescent paint finish that shimmers in the spectrum from violet to turquoise blue, depending on the lighting. In addition, the metallic components create a unique visual effect when exposed to sunlight. This special finish is combined with a Titanium Silver 2 metallic mirror on the fuel tank, cases and front trim. The transition between the two-color surfaces consists of a hand-applied smoke effect familiar from the legendary R 90 S. In addition, the mirror surface is surrounded by a classic white double line. In this variant, the R 18 Transcontinental also comes with the excellently matched matte black engine.”⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ I’m getting serious Ford Mystic vibes - remember their crazy color-changing paint job from the 90s? Looks like @nathanmay and I have a new subject for our next "sparky" photo (swipe left). Link in bio for the full press release from BMW.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #makelifearide
Many thanks to @nathanmay for capturing a bucket-l Many thanks to @nathanmay for capturing a bucket-list wheelie for me: doing 105 mph down the front straight of Laguna Seca on the @iconicmotorbikes Ducati Panigale that Steve Rapp raced at Barber!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠It was the perfect ending to an amazing couple of days on track - see you at the next event! #wheeliewednesday
@rsapirstein reports from his experience last mont @rsapirstein reports from his experience last month at @raceuscra, an organization I'd definitely be more involved with if I was still living back in New England. What a treat to see classic motorcycles and sidecars getting used as they should - check out that Kawasaki H2 lifting the front at the start of the race!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ I sponsor the tankshifter class because I figure it's the most "curious" one, so it's cool to me to see those guys dicing it up, but there’s also the requisite two-strokes, a Vincent, and even Dave Roper on a Moto Guzzi Dondolino! ⁠⁠ If you're on the west coast and like vintage racing, make sure you head out to Laguna Seca this weekend for the AHRMA Classic MotoFest! I'll be up at Laguna a few days earlier for the @iconicmotorbikes track day and will have miss out on the classics, but we'll have a few vintage rides of our own to enjoy. Hope to see you there!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Link in bio for Ray's story.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Photos by the author, Andrew Phillips, and Heather M Bowes (@hxphotographs)
Spend enough time at @iconicmotorbikes and it's p Spend enough time at @iconicmotorbikes and it's pretty much a given that you'll fall in love with the @honda_powersports_us RC30. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ I tried to resist but I guess it was inevitable...so now I've got myself a very special commuter!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Many thanks to Adam, this wouldn’t have happened without him. Now I've got two Hondas with @yoshimura_rd exhausts - though I think the Monkey has the advantage this time around with the sweet banana logos.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Photo of me with my goofy shirt by @nathanmay #iconicmotorbikes #hondarc30⁠⁠
