In 2025, the dirt bike world has a new MVP, and it doesn’t even have a gas tank. The Stark Varg—a Spanish electric upstart—is beating legacy brands at their own game. It’s winning races, converting pros, and changing the expectations of what a dirt bike can be. How...
That bike? The Stark VARG is an 80HP electric beast that’s flipping the script on what off-roading can be. As someone who’s spent years clinging to the throaty growl of gas-powered bikes, I’ll admit I was skeptical. But after testing the Stark VARG and hearing the...
Your first motorcycle shouldn’t scare you, bankrupt you, or collect dust in a garage because it’s too intimidating. I learned this the hard way when I bought a bulky cruiser as a rookie—it spent more time tipped over at stoplights than on the road. After years of...
Yamaha WR450F 2-Trac—a bike so ahead of its time, it still turns heads 20 years later. Born in 2004 and killed off after just one year, this limited-edition beast isn’t just a motorcycle. It’s a piece of off-road history, a mechanical unicorn, and a collector’s holy...

I loved my 2020 Yamaha R6. That screaming 599cc inline-four engine, the way it hugged corners like Velcro, the adrenaline rush at 14,500 RPM—it wasn’t just a bike. So, when Yamaha announced the 2025 R6 would be track-only, I felt like I’d lost a limb. Yamaha didn’t...
I rode into last year’s rally, and let me tell you — this ain’t your average camping trip. The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally—slated for August 1–10, 2025—is a 10-day pilgrimage where half a million riders transform South Dakota into a chrome-covered carnival. From rowdy...
Royal Enfield’s new sub-brand, Flying Flea, is making a clear statement: the future of riding is electric and connected. At the core of this evolution is Qualcomm, powering the bike with its Snapdragon QWM2290 SoC. Royal Enfield is known for its classic motorcycles....
