ZXMoto 500RR test and review | Screaming mini Fireblade or cheap sportsbike knock-off?
Upstart Chinese manufacturer ZXMoto are getting a lot of attention with their World Supersport race-winner 820RR, due to arrive in the UK soon - but first on our shores is the £6049 500RR, a screaming 470cc, 83bhp inline-four with more than a hint of Fireblade style to it... But lots of Chinese bikes promise a lot on paper and fall short when you ride them in reality: does the ZXMoto 500RR hang together as a credible junior Supersport machine and offer the 'Babyblade' experience that Honda won't? 00:00 - Introduction: Is the ZXMoto 500RR a Mini Fireblade? 01:15 - Walkaround, Styling & Build Quality 03:00 - Engine Specs, Rev Limit & Exhaust Sound 04:45 - First Impressions & Road Test 07:10 - Track Test: Handling, Chassis & Suspension 09:25 - Brakes, Electronics & Rider Tech 11:00 - Price, Value & How It Compares to the Competition 12:30 - Final Verdict: Hit or Knock-off?

FOR SALE: 1975 Ducati 900 SS
The 1975 Ducati 900 SS offered for sale through Collecting Cars is a particularly significant example of Ducati’s early Super Sport lineage. As a first-year 900 SS, it represents one of just 246 examples understood to have been produced for 1975, making it considerably rarer than later versions of the model. At its core is Ducati’s 864cc air-cooled, 90-degree Desmodromic L-twin, distinguished by its bevel-drive camshaft system and fed through twin 40mm Dell’Orto carburetors. Power reaches the rear wheel through

Checking a Lot Before Bidding: Shipping Data and VIN History for Your Next Cafe Racer
Building a cafe racer starts long before the first bolt comes off. It starts with the auction lot itself. Two habits separate riders who land a solid donor bike from those who get blindsided later: checking real shipping numbers for the pickup state, and running the VIN before the bid closes rather than after winning. Neither takes long, and both turn assumptions into an actual plan. Why route data changes the build budget Shipping quotes for motorcycles swing more than

FOR SALE: 1969 Egli-Vincent Cafe Racer by Godet
Few motorcycles combine British V-twin heritage and specialist chassis engineering as convincingly as the Egli-Vincent. Currently offered on Bring a Trailer, this café racer was built by Godet Motorcycles of Malaunay, France, in 2002, pairing a newly assembled 998cc Vincent-based V-twin with a nickel-plated Egli frame produced under license from Swiss engineer Fritz Egli. Although titled as a 1969 model, the motorcycle is fundamentally a period-inspired modern construction rather than an original Vincent production machine.

FOR SALE: 1981 Honda CX500 Custom Cafe Racer
A 1981 Honda CX500 Custom listed on Bring a Trailer with no reserve transforms Honda’s unconventional middleweight V-twin into a purpose-built cafe racer. Retained by its original owner until 2018, the motorcycle was subsequently rebuilt with extensively reworked chassis, braking, electrical, and bodywork systems. The defining visual elements are an Airtech race fairing, fiberglass tail section, and Benelli Mojave 1.75-gallon steel fuel tank, all finished in Candy Apple Red with silver center stripes.

Cafe Racer Ebikes: What to Check Before You Buy
A bike can look right in a photograph and feel wrong at the first intersection. The silhouette and seating layout that caught your eye still have to work when you pedal, turn, stop, and put the bike away. Before buying an electric bike for its motorcycle-inspired styling, find out what that styling asks of you in everyday use. The goal is a bike you enjoy looking at and riding. That starts with knowing which design details are simply a matter

RIDER SKILLS – Maximum Braking: ABS On or Off Isn’t the Whole Story
Think about the last time riding your motorcycle when something surprised you on the road or trail and you had to get on the brakes—hard and fast. What did that feel like? Was it unnerving? Did the motorcycle suddenly feel like something you were fighting to control? It doesn’t necessarily have to feel that way. Maximum braking is a skill, but there are things to understand about your motorcycle before you even get to practising it. Clinton Smout from Smart Performance Centre takes us through what riders need to know to become more comfortable,
