It’s Thursday, Parliament’s desire to cut 78% of Europe’s emissions by 2035 remains a contested bother, and the London Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) is still in effect and expanding. At least London’s mayor scrapped the plans for that Zero-Emissions Zone. Coverage from Visordown states that the plans would have...
When it comes to the motherland across the pond, pipe projection is a big peeve; it’s such a sore spot,...
The guys that distribute Forcite and Dainese gear – that bought and absorbed Kuryakyn and sponsored Chix on 66 –...
In a world where electric transport is overly saturated, it pays to be able to play to the industry’s highs and lows; in this case, multiple companies are benefitting from a nifty perk that allows millions in subsidies, as long as you’re working with “domestic” EV batteries. But wait; aren’t...
“Third time’s the charm” was the case last week when I attended RevZilla’s GET ON! Adventure Fest Sturgis! Is it...
Remember when the European Government approved of “TEN-T,” a fast-charging network set to be installed along the country’s highways by...
Europe may have a rep from nearly every major motorcycle industry organization begging for an extension on the 2035 fossil fuel ban, but the country is still set on supporting electric power as a priority (though there has also been a plea to include synthetic fuels in the stricture). As...

We currently know Bosch to be the one making partnerships with the likes of KTM (H2 SX Embedded Blind Spot...
A bunch of county councils have decided that the UK’s next Ultra-Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ) phase is poppycock – and the residual chaos has the whole shebang being taken to high court. If you’ve been keeping tabs on Europe’s desire to Cut 78% of Emissions by 2035, then you know...
Hero / Harley-Davidson X440’s price is out, booting below the belt at a cunning 2.29 lakh (roughly $2800 USD). This...

Tesla is a brand that makes waves; good or bad, you know there will always be something to talk about; recent ripples, for instance, have been about how Tesla removed the patents on their NACS (North American Charging Standard) systems – and with Electrify America now adopting NACS (via Tech...
The Powersports industry may have her fair share of headaches, but I’ll admit this one is brand new to me. ...

We’ve got Jochen Zeitz, Harley’s CEO, in an interview with Kyodo News talking about getting electric motorcycles into Japan’s markets. … But wait, didn’t LiveWire go public late last year?

The European Motorcycle Industry Association (translated to to “ACEM”) has taken the fun out of pipe tinkering in the EU. The end result? Say goodbye to removing that baffle / silencer / dB-killer, because you can’t take ‘er out anymore. The guidelines – created with “key aftermarket exhaust industry players”...

Not only have Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki found success in making electric motorcycles, but they’ve also apparently decided to bond elsewhere in the carbon-neutral initiative. Making hydrogen motorcycles is bloody expensive; combine this fact with the staggering price of getting a brand new hydrogen machine running, and it’s...
Back in late 2022, PIERER Mobiolity Group – PMG, KTM’s parent company – bought a 25.1% stake in MV Agusta,...

This May, we pay respect to our Powersport industry’s safety stats, taking time to look at where our community is at in the modernizing of road laws, safety gear, and machine tech. It’s a process that’s just as important as swinging a leg over; in a way, until everyone is safe...

Electric or ICE? It’s the big question bouncing about our good industry, and everybody has an opinion – from KTM’s focus on synthetic fuels to the electric-bound projects of motorcycle marques like Triumph, Honda, and Bajaj. Suffice it to say that everybody is snatching up pieces of what they think...

Remember when KTM bought a 25.1% stake (capital increase) in Italian motorcycle marque MV Agusta, back in Q4 of 2022? Well, MV Agusta’s continued her overhaul to align with new plans for dealer revamp, production bikes and more – and, much as you’d think there’d be issues with grey zone...

Thanks to a move made mid-February by The White House, the National Electric Vehicle Charger Network (NEVCN) will soon tout standardized CCS chargers – and all participating companies, including Tesla, must comply. Earlier last year, Tesla’s CEO – Elon Musk – previously hinted that the company might soon be “opening...

The National Motorcyclists Council (NMC) and the Motorcycle Industry Association (MCIA) have been stewing on the admittedly fast about-face that is today’s decarbonization (emission-free) strategy – and, in a recent approach to Parliament, both parties posited merging the demands/stats of the industry, government, and users to create a more seamless chug toward a...
