2006 Honda Rebel (2006)
I purchased this great bike in 2008 from a friend that bought it new in 2006.... at the time I purchased the bike, it only had 252 miles on it. This one is in the beautiful metallic/pearl white color. I would generally put anywhere between 600-800 miles on it each season, but haven't been able to ride it much the past 2 riding seasons. However, it still started right up once I put a battery in it and touched the electric start button. It has always been garage parked, has never been rained on or ridden in the rain or snow.

2026 Honda CRF300F Review – First Ride

Wed, 10 Dec 2025

A Bigger, Better Trail Bike For Every Rider Photos by Simon Cudby. Honda trail bikes have a knack for turning simple rides into stories worth telling. It’s not just the sound or the smell of fresh dirt and fuel, it’s that feeling of knowing you’re about to have a good time, no matter your skill level.

Let's Talk About Dual Clutch Transmissions

Thu, 30 Oct 2025

The Dual Clutch Transmission, or DCT, is changing how some riders experience motorcycling—and even helping to attract new riders. On paper, it’s a simple idea—let the computer handle the shifting so the rider can just twist the throttle and go. In practice, it makes a full-size motorcycle behave more like an oversized, high-powered scooter.

2025 Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP Review

In the pursuit of podiums Static/Street Photos by Nic de Sena / Track Photos by Max Klein ( Oxymoron Photography) Superbike: a word that instantly stirs the imagination, conjuring visions of streaking horizons, screaming engines, and tachometers buried deep in the red. These are machines born of obsession, built not for compromise but for the pursuit of speed itself — mechanical expressions of purpose that seize a rider’s mind with outrageous power figures and razor-edged intent. Draped in shimmering bodywork and racing colors, they look fast standing still, daring even the most risk-averse among us to tuck behind the bubble.

The BIG Difference Between the Honda CB750 Hornet and the CB1000 SP

Tue, 09 Sep 2025

Tom Roderick spent a day riding the CB1000 Hornet SP and then another on the CB750 Hornet—having the chance to ride the bikes back-to-back makes the differences between the two clear. The 1000 uses an inline four-cylinder with roots in the CBR1000RR, a motor that thrives on revs and rewards a committed hand. It comes wrapped in premium suspension, brakes, and electronics, making it a serious tool when the pace rises and the road opens up.

Since the departure of Honda’s shaft-driven sport-tourers, such as the ST1300 and VFR1200F, Big Red has been out of the road-focused sport-touring game, while aiming much of its efforts at the ever-popular ADV market via its versatile Africa Twin CRF1000L platform. Well, those of the tarmac riding persuasion have a new ST machine to ponder in the NT1100, which borrows core components from the recently revamped Africa Twin range, including its frame, six-axis IMU-supported rider aids, 1,084cc Parallel-Twin engine, and semi-automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission.

Riding it back to back with the larger CB1000 Hornet SP, the 750 lacks the performance and higher-quality components of its sibling, but it's also a much better all-day mount.

2025 Honda CB1000 Hornet SP Review – First Ride

Tue, 10 Jun 2025

Replacing the CB1000R with a sharper stinger Photos by Align Media The 2025 CB1000 Hornet SP retails for $10,999. During the Hornet’s press introduction held in California’s capital, Sacramento, Honda representatives confirmed that the bike is built in Japan. A few days later, discussing the Hornet SP with my friend and former MO chief editor, Kevin Duke, he was skeptical, thinking it had to be manufactured in a less-expensive-to-produce country, and rightly so.
