Harley-Davidson is one of the most iconic and beloved motorcycle brands in the world. But when it comes to reliability, how does Harley-Davidson stack up?

If you’re looking for a solid affordable cruiser, the Honda Rebel lineup is a good place to start. And because of their smaller-capacity engines, the Rebel 300 and 500 also make excellent starter bikes for beginners. For 2021, though, Honda is giving its entry-level cruiser a bit more grunt in the form of the Rebel …

Vintage-inspired designs are found in every corner of the motorcycle world. That’s especially true for many of the cruisers Harley-Davidson and Indian offer. However, even historic models evolved over their lifetimes—why should their modern versions be any different? That’s why, for the 100th anniversary of the Chief, Indian is giving it a redesign. And it’s …

It’s hard to overstate the CB750’s impact on the motorcycle world. When it launched in 1969, its affordable performance and technology helped coin the term ‘superbike.’ It also launched the Universal Japanese Motorcycle segment, and inspired rivals like the BMW R90S. But the CB750’s status can overshadow some of the other contemporary Honda four-cylinder bikes—including …

While the original 1950s Super Cub was a humble motorcycle, it set the stage for Honda around the world. And in many ways, it helped change US consumers’ perspectives on motorcycles. But Honda didn’t jump straight from the Cub to bikes like the CB750 and the CBX. In addition to models like the CB360, Honda …

Any established company gets complaints. Professional and amateur critics unfailingly take issues with products. And when a company sells an extensive product line, not every offering is a hit. In fact, some are almost guaranteed duds. Despite Harley-Davidson‘s excellent reputation as a maker of quality bikes and its storied century-plus history, it has seen its …

It used to be that a black leather jacket was the traditional motorcycle rider calling card. Not just to other people, but to fellow riders as well. But while a Schott Perfecto is no longer de rigueur, the motorcycling community is still all about camaraderie. And part of expressing it is with the ‘motorcycle wave.’ …

Harley-Davidson is one of the most iconic motorcycle brands in the world. But a few years ago, the company was in rough shape. What changed?

Since the first rumors of the Hayabusa’s return hit the Internet, Suzuki’s reborn superbike has prompted significant speculation. What kind of engine would it use? Would it still be as ridiculously fast? Well, those questions can finally be answered, because Suzuki has officially revealed the 2022 Hayabusa. And from the looks of things, ‘Busa fans …

Motorcycles are typically thought of as dirty, loud, and crude sleds for dirty, loud, and crude people to ride around on. Of course, this is a ridiculous notion. In case you need any help understanding how absurd this sentiment is, folks like Roland Sands and Matias Corea will easily change your mind. Look no further …

Robert Knievel, better known as Evel Knievel, captured what motorcycle culture is all about. His rebellious nature fueled his bold and ambitious career as a professional daredevil. “Evil Knievel” was the nickname a police officer gave him in jail one night after he crashed his motorcycle while trying to escape the fuzz. But fearing an …

Sportbikes like the Suzuki GSXR and Ducati Panigale V4 are the usual tools of choice for motorcycle racing. At least, for racing on dedicated paved tracks. But in 2020, a handful of luggage-equipped cruisers took to Laguna Seca to compete in the King of the Baggers. And safe to say, the event was a big …

The upcoming Pan America is going to bring a touch of adventure to Harley-Davidson’s current crop of cruisers. And given the off-road motorcycle segment’s current popularity, it has a great sense of timing. However, while the Pan America is the first adventure bike to wear the Harley badge, it’s not the first ADV with a …

What brand name comes to mind when you hear the word motorcycle? With all the brands out there, the one that probably rushes to your mind first is Harley-Davidson. Harley is one of the best motorcycle manufacturers out there. It’s produced more bestsellers than you can count.  Driving.Ca compiled a list of what they felt …

While bikes like the BMW S 1000 RR can out-handle the Hayabusa, the Suzuki sportbike wasn’t really about corner carving. No, it earned its reputation on its ludicrous levels of speed. Unfortunately, regulation changes meant Suzuki had to clip the Hayabusa’s wings, seemingly for good. But based on some recently-released videos, it seems the ‘Busa …

From quickshifters to lighter wheels, there are plenty of accessories available to motorcycle riders. Some modifications focus on making the bike quicker. But others, like aftermarket mirrors, are about making riding easier, safer, and/or more comfortable. The latest patent from Michelin falls into that vein. But it’s not, as you might expect, some kind of …

While the Custom 1250’s future was uncertain, Harley-Davidson is indeed putting the concept bike into production. And while it broadly follows the cruiser formula, the motorcycle has a few flat-tracker elements, too. But until it officially debuts, the only street-legal American factory flat-tracker is the Indian FTR. And for 2022, Indian is giving it an …

2-wheeled off-roading fans certainly had reason to mourn when Kawasaki discontinued the KLR650 in 2018. Although the dual-sport was a bit of a dinosaur, its simplicity was part of its appeal; hence its 32-year production run. Still, while used models are plentiful and affordable, the cancellation left Kawasaki without an entry for the currently-booming large-capacity …

100 years is enough time for a brand to die and be reborn. Or, in the case of a motorcycle company like Moto Guzzi, enough time to keep going. 2021 marks the centenary anniversary of Ewan McGregor’s favorite brand, making it the oldest European motorcycle company in continuous production. And to mark the occasion, the …

Despite its financial struggles, Harley-Davidson is going forward with some of its anticipated motorcycle introductions. The Pan American adventure bike, for example, has a 2021 release date. So does the Custom 1250, though it may have a different name. However, not all of the company’s bikes are heading into 2021. Specifically, the Harley-Davidson Street 750 …
