Populair request We have written about the venerable Yamaha XV a number of times in our recent posts and we can’t get enough of them. Not just because of the cool aesthetics the Japanese V-twins have, or the high desirability factor they possess. No ladies and gentlemen, we love the Yamaha [...]

Beautiful Monster When Ducati first launched the venerable Monster 900 back in 1993, it set the world on fire! I remember seeing it for the first time on a television program, and being blown away by the raw and ‘monstrous’ look the Bologna manufacturer managed to give to one of their [...]

Humble beginnings There are BMW boxers, and then there are BMW boxers. The difference? Well, here goes. Ever since BMW introduced their famous boxer twin configuration back in the 1920’s, they kind of had a reputation of being a bit…dull. That was until they started kicking the competition’s butts in the [...]

Regular guests It may look as if UNIKAT have a subscription on our platform. Nothing of the sort, but the Polish team just keeps on churning out pure art that we simply cannot ingnore. This time it is a 2001 Moto Guzzi California 1100, which was transformed from a nice bike [...]

From the Czech Republic with love We told you to remember his name back in November! At the time we published a post on his BMW K100RT and warned you that Marcel Galuszka would be back with more. Well, here he is. In just a couple of months he has yet [...]

Underdog We have had the pleasure to extensively try and test Pando Moto motorcycle gear the past couple of years. It is great to see the Lithuanian based company grow and develop new products along the way. Compared to the bigger, international brands, they are an underdog. However, if there is [...]

Triumph goes electric in style Project Triumph TE-1 has just been revealed in completed prototype form. To get to this stage Triumph Motorcycles set up a collaboration with Williams Advanced Engineering (WAE), Integral Powertrain Ltd, and WMG at the University of Warwick. The project is funded by the Office for Zero [...]

Superlative To top off three consecutive weeks of riding big (or should I say GIANT?) bikes I was offered the opportunity to test the 2021 Triumph Rocket 3R for a full seven days. And what a week it turned out to be! The prelude to this week was composed by the [...]

Dressed to stay alive We all have our preferences when it comes to dressing up for a ride. What you wear depends on a variety of parameters dictating the outcome. ‘Full on’ motorcycle gear will serve the best protection against weather conditions and when gravitational forces cause you to involuntarily part [...]

When I was 18 years old, many many years ago, I saw a Honda CB350F outside a club in Amsterdam. It looked dirty, had chrome wire spoked wheels, a little café racer seat, clubman style handle bar, no mirrors or indicators, no fenders, and a single gauge which was the tachometer. [...]
