Unveiled! / Electric Motorcycle Maker Energica Announces ‘Experia’ Sport Touring Bike

June 6, 2022 admin

Story has been updated with new pricing and preorder information. Quick note: ADVrider will be riding the new bike in Italy in mid-June, so look for an in-depth review soon.

Representing ADVrider.com, I recently took some of Energica’s street models on a short spin around New York City following the acquisition of the brand by EV-focused investment firm Ideanomics (IDEX). Thumbnail review: Energica makes three high-quality, high-performance electric motorcycle models that are as good if not better (especially performance-wise) than anything else out there. The only problem: with very limited production capabilities, they’ve only produced just over a thousand

Schuberth C5 Review [Motorcycle Touring Modular-Style From Germany]

May 28, 2022 admin

After my many years riding with Schuberth’s C3, C3 Pro, C4, and C4 Pro (and all the way back to the original Concept) motorcycle helmets, the German manufacturer of high-line head protection has introduced the all-new C5. Many readers know that Schuberth has been making helmets for motorsports (two- and four-wheels), industrial safety, firefighting, law enforcement, and the military for 90 years.In the face of competitors offering new helmet models rapidly, Schuberth has leaned on the C4 since 2017, and the C4 Pro from 2019, while slipstreaming improvements during its run. Schuberth’s website still offers the C3 Pro, which I

Touring the Bob Dylan Center

May 18, 2022 admin

Tulsa’s long-anticipated Bob Dylan Center is opening May 10! Last week, I was lucky enough to get early access. I’ve been excited for the opening mostly because I know my Dad is excited about it. He loves Bob Dylan, and I have several nice childhood memories of him playing “Blowin’ in the Wind” and other favorites on guitar.

Entrance/Gift Shop

When you first enter the Bob Dylan Center, you’re in a large room with a ticket counter and gift shop. Here, you’ll find BDC merch like T-shirts, hats, etc., as well as Bob Dylan albums. There’s even a nice

MO Touring: 2021 Ducati Multistrada V4S

May 5, 2022 admin

Although I was born and raised in Virginia and North Carolina, I’ve done relatively little riding in the two states. When I got my first motorcycle license, I literally packed my belongings on my bike and set out for California the next day for a three-month, 11,000-mile tour. So, when I received the invitation to my 40th high school reunion (OK, 41st. Thanks, Covid.), thoughts of spending some quality, two-wheeled time in the mountains of my home states immediately came to mind.

After reaching out to Ducati, I was informed that I could pick up a 2021 Ducati Multistrada

Indian Roadmaster Dark Horse review: Grand American touring

April 19, 2022 admin

A motorcycle with a befitting name, one that chews miles effortlessly while tackling the Indian highway system with ease.

The time is 06:00AM. The sun is just about beginning to rise from behind the horizon. There’s a nip in the air that’s unusual for the time of the year. I’m seated on the super-plush seat of the Indian Roadmaster Dark Horse, as its massive 1,890cc V-twin chugs at a relaxed pace. The deep burbles from the twin-exhausts intermix with Coldplay’s riveting music playing through the quad speakers of the 200W music system. I’m not sure about the American Dream, but

Looking for a middleweight bike for touring & city commutes

March 11, 2022 admin

The motorcycle will be used for 500 km per day trips once a month & weekly city commutes of 25 km in Bangalore.

BHPian rohing recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

I recently sold my Himalayan after 20k kms on it. Himalayan was good but really lacked some key things I wanted:

Refinement (the vibration after 80)
Reliability (clutch wire, cone set, rusting)
Power (best below 100)
Good service network (RE is good, no complaints)

Need some guidance on comparisons from experts here. I need a comfortable middleweight cruiser for 500 km/day trips (once a month) and city commutes in

Touring Tuscon, Arizona during the winter

February 25, 2022 admin

TUSCON, ARIZ. (KRON) – This scenic desert town is full of surprises. Less than a two hour drive from Phoenix, Tucson is home to a bit more than half a million people. But there’s also plenty of moments where you’d never know it.

Tucson’s neighborhoods, especially the historic ones, are best explored by bike. You just get a better feel when you can roll through at a slower pace. Tucson Bikes Tours actually offers three guided tours through town, the longest stretching 10 miles.. with tacos and beer to keep riders well fueled.

But for a fun cruise through Tucson’s
