I was lucky enough to test-ride the all-new 2026 Honda CB1000GT in Spain’s Alicante, covering 140 brisk kilometers (over 86 miles) after its presentation at the Melià Villaitana Resort in Benidorm over the weekend. It felt like a full-circle moment, coming almost exactly a year after I rode the CB1000…
AGVSPORT’s Italian-made suits by Rewin Italia sit in a very elite little club: fully made-in-Italy, CE AAA, and designed from the ground up to work with Alpinestars Tech-Air airbags.

This report brings together a series of analyses on the state of the global motorcycle business from roughly 2020 through 2025, with particular focus on: • Harley-Davidson and the U.S. big‑bike dealer environment • The broader U.S. motorcycle market after the COVID‑19 boom • The European Union market under the…
On October 24, 2025, Dainese announced a recapitalization in which HPS Investment Partners and Arcmont Asset Management will become majority shareholders. The transaction reduces debt and injects fresh capital, with closing expected in early 2026. This is not a direct BlackRock purchase—HPS is now part of BlackRock, which is why…
Both Cardo BEYOND GT and GTS are full-face helmets designed for sport-touring riders and share the same core technology, including large 53 mm speakers, built-in mesh intercom, active noise cancellation (ANC), emergency crash sensors, and helmet health monitoring system.

How Drew Alan Kaplan—Turned a Catalog Into a Conversation In the boom years of the 1980s gadget craze, DAK Industries did something radically simple: it made a catalog read like a conversation.

Marc Márquez has rewritten MotoGP’s today. By clinching his 69th premier-class victory at the German Grand Prix—on his symbolic 200th race start—he dethroned the legendary Giacomo Agostini (68 wins) to claim sole possession of second place on the all-time premier‑class (MotoGP/500cc) wins list. Only Valentino Rossi (89) now stands ahead….

Even after the recent Israel’s 2025 Operation Rising Lion over Iranian airspace, a quieter—yet no less defiant—form of resistance continues to echo through Iran’s streets.
