Honda Motorcycles 2

I was out for a ride on a rare, warm winter day recently, and making a left-hand turn onto a side road, I found myself suddenly stopping behind a small transport van. There was a gas station entrance to the right, and opposite on the left was the entrance/exit for a restaurant. In the moment, I considered a quick skirt to the right around the van, so I could continue on my way. But further examination halted my impulse. I glimpsed a black pickup truck ahead, coming the opposite way, and a small silver sedan stopped at the restaurant exit. The transport van was waiting to make a left into the restaurant parking lot, while the black truck suddenly took its left into the gas station lot. Had I not paused before making an impulsive move, I would’ve been broadsided by the pickup truck. A little awareness and prudence quite possibly saved my life.

Analog- 1993 Honda VFR 750

by Ted Edwards | Dec 23, 2025 | Legendary Bikes, Ride Life | 6 |

In a digital world driven by touchscreens, scrolling menus and artificial intelligence there lives a Unicorn, a 1993 VFR 750. In this electric world measured by binary strings of 1s and 0s she is a deliciously analog endangered species driven by feel, a deft but heavy touch, proper feel at the levers. Her cockpit is full of spinning number odometers and sweeping white needles on black numbered faceplates that don’t disappear when the bike turns off. When I feel saturated by screen time and need to unplug and return to the heart of motorcycling, the core of who I am, I ride The Unicorn.

Fury: Honda’s Forgotten Chopper

by Drew Perlmutter | Nov 4, 2025 | Bikes & Gear | 6 |

I was in a hurry. The day before I had arranged to pick up a 2025 Gold Wing 50th Anniversary Edition. I planned to put 6,000 miles on it that month, starting that same afternoon. While signing paperwork, something in the corner of my eye caught my attention: low, long, green, and slightly menacing. It gleamed under the warehouse lights — exaggerated curves and chrome in all the right places. ”Is… is that a Honda Fury?” I thought. It was. “They still make those?” They sure do.

2025 Sport Touring Tire Test Wrap-Up

by Ted Edwards | Oct 31, 2025 | Bikes & Gear, Nuts & Bolts | 13 |

We ask everything of motorcycle sport touring tires. Unlike narrow focus tires dedicated to track-only performance or mud-slinging off-road roost chuckers, we expect sport touring tires to be a jack-of-all-trades and master of everything. They need to stick like sap, munch massive miles, conquer Colorado heavy rain showers and handle like MotoAmerica track refugees. Oh, and they need to last forever. Tire manufacturers attempt to work miracles with modern tires by engineering ways to expand a tire’s envelope in all these directions at once. A rare few sport touring tires do this, succeeding in all areas at once. Others fall short. Some fall way, way short.
