There’s just something special about rare motorcycles and when there’s a tasteful story behind one, things only get better. The Petronas FP1 is one of the few motorcycles that meet both these criteria, which is why it is the perfect collector’s item.

Want to buy one? Well, lucky for you, Iconic Motorbike Auctions has put up an oven-fresh example of the FP1 with a side of extra-loaded bragging rights for free.

Green Goblin is arguably the most popular villain in the world of Spiderman and its popularity has only risen after his comeback in the latest Spiderman movie. So cashing in on this, HJC has partnered with Marvel once again and introduced its fifth Marvel edition helmet for 2022, the limited edition RPHA 11 Green Goblin. In case you’re unaware (or live under a rock), the RPHA 11 lineup already boasts Venom, Anti-venom, Carnage, and Punisher graphics.

The Bike Shed motorcycle show is a sacred place for custom bikemakers to flaunt their skills via epic builds. So, for this year’s show, Amsterdam-based Ironwood Motorcycles wanted to create something stunning, and boy, did they live up to it!

Once a BMW R NineT, this custom motorcycle looks from a different world altogether and backs this up with some exceptional customizations, which we’ll be diving into.

The YZF-R125 is Yamaha’s smallest R-badged motorcycle, and it is a fairly important product for the company in European countries where new riders can only ride small bikes first, then progress to more powerful models.

So in an attempt to spruce up the bike, Yamaha has introduced a new Sport pack for the YZF-R125 that aims to make the bike sportier than usual. However, the reality is that it isn’t all that exciting.

With Isle Of Man TT once again in full swing after a Covid-struck hiatus, Austria-based Reier Motors wanted to do something special on the occasion. So the bikemaker took matters into its own hands and prepared an epic custom Ducati Scrambler that pays homage to Ducati’s four-time Isle Of Man-winning race bike, the TT2. Now that you know the intention, let’s check out the motorcycle.

In typical Icon Motorsport fashion, the company has taken the wraps off the new-for-2022 Facelift graphic available for the Airform helmet. The new graphic pays homage to all the adrenaline junkies who prefer to not wear a helmet, by depicting exactly what happens at high speeds.

At one point in history, all motorbikes were naked, but that all changed as the 1980s came around. Putting an aerodynamic fairing on was a good way of getting more performance without the costly development of the engine. Fast forward to the 2000s, and manufacturers are busy taking the fairings off their superbikes to create naked streetfighter models, which are much more practical and suitable for everyday use, while being just as dynamically impressive. This is our list of the top ten naked streetfighters available in 2022.

No matter how fun, powerful, or safe modern superbikes get, there’s just something special about the raw, rampant superbikes from the past. If you nodded in agreement and are looking to get your hands on one, we’ve got some good news. Popular reseller Bring A Trailer has a listing for a sizzling hot 2006 Suzuki GSX-R1000, and it’s so clean that you’ll want to make an impulsive purchase.

The entry-level sportbike segment is hotter than ever and has immense potential throughout the world. While most manufacturers such as Suzuki, Yamaha, KTM, and Honda have already exploited this space, BMW has NEVER introduced a fully faired beginner’s motorcycle. Luckily, this is about to change as the Bavarian giant has teased its first entry-level sportbike in India, slated to launch on July 15, 2022.

The Kawasaki Ninja 400 and Z400 are two of the most popular motorcycles in the entry-level motorcycle space. However, back in 2020, Kawasaki had to axe these models for most markets (barring America) as the bikes fell prey to stringent Euro-5 norms. After a brief hiatus, though, Kawasaki is finally undoing its mistake and has taken the wraps off the 2023 Ninja 400 and Z400 with a few detrimental updates.

The Suzuki Hayabusa stepped into its third generation last year and the bike went through a major overhaul to become its best self yet. While the electronic aids and top-shelf components made the most headlines, the updated design was equally impressive. But showing that things can always get better, Suzuki has introduced the MY2023 Hayabusa with three new colors, which make the bike look as dazzling as ever.

Triumph started its electric journey back in 2019 and after three years, the company has finally wrapped up the fourth, last, and live testing phase of the TE-1 electric bike. Following this, the British giant is now gearing up to reveal its first electric motorcycle on July 12, 2022.

The first-gen Suzuki Hayabusa was a game-changer in the motorcycle world, becoming one of the first bikes to breach the 299kmph (186mph) mark. Since its inception, though, things have progressed to new heights (and faster speeds), a prime example being the supercharged-but-road-legal Kawasaki Ninja H2.

Ever wondered how a drag race between these two would go? Well, you’re in luck because that’s exactly what we’re looking at today. Oh, and just so the stakes are equal almost, the Hayabusa in context has a few extra mods, as you’re about to find out.
