Military Motorcycle

Classic Motorworks, the official importer and distributor of Royal Enfield motorcycles in the United States, today announced the arrival of the 2010 Royal Enfield Bullet model line.

H-D Motorcycle History

Harley-Davidson Serial Number One, which currently resides in the H-D lobby at Juneau Avenue, dates to the 1903-04 era. Company founders built at least one prototype before it and, of course, production machines after it that differed both in the power of the engine and in general configuration.

Moto Guzzi Museum

I would finally get the opportunity to walk through the factory gates and step into motorcycling history that started back in 1917 during the First World War. At the time, three young Italian pilots were fighting for their country in the Italian Air force: Carlo Guzzi, Giorgio Ripamonti and a well-known racer of the day, Giovanni Ravelli.

Motorcycling History

Much of the attention paid to Harley-Davidson innovations over the last 97 years usually goes to things like the "Knucklehead" engine, Softail frame, teardrop gas tank, circulating oil system, Hydra-Glide motorcycle front fork assembly and other famous inventions.

Gold Star

When compared to many other machines that have achieved classic status, the BSA Gold Star seems rather innocuous at first glance. It does not look as if it would intimidate its rider, or even generate all that much speed; nor does it bristle with unique technological or design features that set it apart from a myriad of other single-cylinder British motorcycles.

The 'New' Brough Superior

Few motorcycles possess the class and legend of the Brough Superior. The Broughs were-and remain-the loftiest of royalty in the two-wheel world.

Honda 750 Four

One of the most significant machines in recent motorcycling history, the CB750 Four featured a 4-cylinder engine reminiscent of the Honda RC racers. The 750 Four had a terrific exhaust note resonating from four exhausts and, in a first for a production motorcycle, a top speed of over 200 km/h (~125mph). The incredible 750cc 4-cylinder engine featured a wealth of technology developed from sixties era GP racers.

Two Connecting Rods

Back in 1992, Honda once again stunned the world with the release of their revolutionary NR750. Featuring a totally unique and innovative look, with its one-piece tank, integrated seat and tail unit, and single side swingarm, it was actually what lay hidden under the carbon-fiber reinforced bodywork that had the world's press so very interested.
