The FIM (Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme) announced a series of changes to the 2025 MotoGP World Championship regulations earlier this week. The changes, which took effect on 29 April, most notably included the introduction of a test day for riders returning from injury and clarified startline procedures sparked by the recent debacle in Austin. In addition to the modified regulations,…

Earlier this month, Harley-Davidson announced its earnings for the first quarter of the year. That included details about the Livewire, the company’s recent foray into electric motorcycles. That information had two very alarming components to it: the first was that Livewire sales were down 72% relative to the first quarter of 2024. The second is just how many Livewires were…

MotoGP teams have surprisingly agreed to tweak the championship’s strict testing regulations to allow riders coming back from long injury breaks to test ahead of their return to race action. Such tests were a hot topic of debate among teams ahead of Jorge Martin’s ill-fated MotoGP comeback at April’s Qatar Grand Prix. This followed an unsuccessful request from Martin’s Aprilia…

Let’s (still) talk about specs Of course, this selling point would be mute if the bike didn’t deliver in other areas. Relative to its shockingly low base price (just over two grand), I would say it does. The liquid-cooled motor produces a pretty pedestrian 14 horsepower but a comparatively huge 384 lb-ft of torque. (By comparison, the super-speedy BMW R…

Trackhouse Aprilia team principal Davide Brivio believes Ai Ogura’s strong debut in the premier class has sparked interest from rival MotoGP teams keen to sign him once his contract expires. In the five grands prix held so far, Ogura has only finished outside the top 10 once (in Qatar), placing him eighth in the overall standings. That’s just ahead of…

Electric motorcycles have long carried an unfair reputation. They’re too quiet, too smooth, too simple. No gears, no drama, no character. Just a twist-and-go experience that many say strips away the soul of motorcycling. But anyone who’s actually ridden a good electric knows that’s far from the truth. Because, hey, instant torque, seamless acceleration, and low running costs can be…

Retired from full-time MotoGP competition since last year, Aleix Espargaro will return to racing this weekend at Jerez as a Honda test rider. Clad in unfamiliar HRC colours ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix weekend, he revealed that his life has become very different since his last race for Aprilia at the Barcelona finale last year.  Espargaro has begun taking…

Electric motorcycles are great. They don’t make noise, they offer max torque right off the bat, and they convert a majority of their stored energy into useful work. The more expensive and advanced ones also manage to recover energy through regenerative braking, thus extending range. The downsides are well-known, though. Batteries and electric motors are heavy, and the former cannot…

Yamaha’s 2021 MotoGP world champion Fabio Quartararo has said the Japanese manufacturer is right in developing a V4, following the first European test of the engine at Valencia last week. While Pramac Yamaha rider Augusto Fernandez was the man in the saddle for the test, all the marque’s riders were questioned about the latest on the V4 ahead of this…

The walls seem to close in on Ola Electric as another shipment delay of Roadster X is reported. Ola Electric launched its first motorcycle — Roadster X — in February this year at a starting price of Rs 74,999 (ex-showroom). However, the Bengaluru-based EV manufacturing startup has failed to deliver a single unit of the electric motorcycle to its customers….

Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo broke Ducati’s long stranglehold on MotoGP pole positions by going fastest in Saturday’s qualifying for the Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez. The 2021 world champion thus delivered on the clear potential he had shown in Friday practice, when he reported he was surprised by his own speed aboard the M1. The pole position is the first for…

Barry Brecheisen/Getty Images Harley-Davidson’s direct-to-consumer electric motorcycle brand LiveWire makes a variety of exciting and fun-to-ride motorcycles, and if the brand’s 2025 first quarter financials are anything to go by, absolutely nobody is buying them. According to the report LiveWire sold just 33 motorcycles across Q1’s 90 day period, down 72% from…

Marc Marquez shrugged off a brief challenge from Fabio Quartararo as he took a fifth straight 2025 sprint race victory aboard the factory Ducati. Although Quartararo was able to convert his surprise pole position into a brief lead, he fell when Marquez overtook him halfway around the second lap. That was the end of any challenge to the Ducati dominance,…

The Spanish GP marked MotoGP’s entry into Europe, where it will remain for the coming months. It was the fifth round of the season, which has left the championship wide open. Álex Márquez (BK8 Gresini/Ducati) leads by just one point over his brother, Marc (Ducati Lenovo). But compared to the same stage last year, who has gained and lost the…

Google The incident happened on Link Road in Rotherham Police have appealed for information as a 14-year-old boy remains in hospital in a critical condition a week after he was involved in a serious collision.

Injured MotoGP world champion Jorge Martin has arrived back in his home town of Madrid less than two weeks after his horror crash at the Qatar Grand Prix. Martin took a special flight from Doha on Saturday and was then taken to hospital in Madrid, where he underwent a CAT scan to determine the true extent of his lung and…

The idea of electric motorcycles is compelling, but efforts have come up short for me. The range has been horrific, and the bikes seemed not fully baked. After hearing from moto friends and journalists that Zero Motorcycle models fared well, I had high hopes for the DSR/X dual-sport machine. The 2025 Zero Motorcycles DSR/X is an impressive-looking electric dual-sport/adventure motorcycle….

“Our tyre plan was f***ed up by the crash” So spoke Gresini Ducati team manager Michele Masini following Alex Marquez’s rollercoaster Friday at last weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix.  That’s nothing particularly unusual in motorsport, of course. But these words weren’t muttered under Masini’s breath at the back of his team’s sky blue garage. They came through loud and clear on…
