The motorcycles within the Harley-Davidson line-up can and will be mind-boggling! Especially just their popular models alone can be dizzying.
With the likes of the Fat Boy, Fat Bob, FXDR, Street Glide, Street Rod, and the popular Iron 883; no wonder some hidden gems are stuck within the shadows. And one of these gems is this FLSB Sport Glide 107!
The Sport Glide is in somewhat in a weird spot: too pricey to compete with the Indian Scouts, while it undercuts Harley's behemoths like the Fat Bob!
With all the disappointments by far with the lighter Harley bikes, will the Sport Glide my long lost Excalibur sword? Find out here!

The recent signing of the RA11235 the law in the Philippines has caused a major uproar to all riders in the country.
Then at the last minute, Friday March 15 in the evening (the night before), many rider groups called an "Emergency Meet up" on Saturday late afternoon!
Here I covered what is going on with some of my opinions sprinkled in!

Enough with the slow stuff! Time to squeeze the throttle more!!
What would you do if you have a tiny bike like this Z125, the Grom or Monkey, or the (Benelli) TNT135, a parking lot or a driveway that is big enough to lay down sticky tape and micro-cones, and a bunch of fellow mini bike friends? You got an instant race track!!!
Watch me as I go silly as I wheeze along this tight track!
This is the final video of my three-part Z125 Ride Adventure Series. And also one my first (unofficial) Bite Test!
Ride Adventures are videos that are short and sweet. In this case, I never took this bike out on public roads.

Everyone knows about the Z125 PRO [BR125JHF]; the Micro-Naked fun bike that many people now enjoy most of the world! This Z125 is available in North America, Japan, and most of Southeast Asia! Also a mortal enemy to the Honda Grom/MSX125 & Benelli TNT135.
Then there is another Z125 [BR125KKF]; a bigger version of the same name, on which is a learner-bike and Budget-Naked version of the Ninja 125 [BX125AKF]. This version is available mostly from Europe and Middle-East. This is more of a Honda CB125R & Suzuki GSX-S125 competitor.
Not many people know about THIS specific Z125. Nope, it's not a PRO version, just a plain Z125. This 'Bite Test' is about the kid in the basement, the non-manual transmission model.
Featuring a 'rider-friendly' 4-speed clutch-less Centrifugal Transmission, this feature is rather common with some Asian-mopeds and underbones motorcycles throughout South snd Southeast Asia.
Since I've ridden the Z125 PRO both in Las Vegas and in Long Beach in the USA. How will this semi-automatic version compare to the much-loved and much-recognized full-manual model? Find out here!

Considered as THE original naked street fighter, this new 5th generation iteration of the iconic hyper naked is ready to fight against the the new comers like the S1000R, the Tuono V4, the GSX-S 1000, the MT-10, the CB1000R, & the 1290 Super Duke R.
With so many flavors in the hyper naked scene it can get very confusing, especially on a newb rider like me!
Will it deliver the similar fun factor as the rest of the field? How does it gauge against its competitors? Stay tuned!

Three-wheeled cars, 3-wheelers, tri-cycles, tri-cars, reverse trike, and Autocycles. These are the names associated with vehicles like this.
Much like the Morgan 3Wheeler, Campagna T-Rex & V13R, and Vanderhall Venice within this group; the Polaris Slingshot is by far the bestseller on its segment!
Polaris claims that the Slingshot as a ‘motorcycle’ in the US. But I consider this as a 3-wheeled car (although the name ‘Autocycle’ sounds right too).
On actuality, how does this vehicle drive!? Does it deliver the same fun factor as a typical sports car? Or is this vehicle serves as an excuse for Polaris just to enter the sports car genre and dance around US regulations?
Either way, this will be a completely curious experience!

Almost every mainstream bike manufacturer wants to take on the bestselling benchmark: the BMW R12xx GS series. Heck, at one point (2017-2019) Honda had TWO ‘Premium Full-Size Adventure Touring’ bikes!!! One was CRF1000L Africa Twin [https://youtu.be/nVTOezii9QA], and the forgotten VFR1200X Crosstourer [https://youtu.be/xXcbOC0rnqo].
Now, at its R1250 GS form; BMW did not expect this...A HARLEY-DAVIDSON ADVENTURE BIKE!!! Almost everyone went speechless when it debuted in concept form back in 2018. Now here we are!
This time I get to ride the fully-loaded, top-spec model 1250 Special. This spec has an adaptive suspension the lowers itself on standstill, crash bars, skid plate, and a center stand all standard in this trim!
Since I've ridden the Standard model [https://youtu.be/nVTOezii9QA] as a baseline, will the higher cost and added toys make a bit of a difference between the two PanAms? Either way, I am very excited I get to ride the PanAm!
