Destination Baja 1000 (On A Suzuki DR-Z4S, From The Netherlands!)
Are modern-day dual sport bikes still capable of desert racing greatness? Dutchman Tobias Pieffers is aiming to find out, and he’s taking a different approach than the usual European plan of raising the money for a Dakar challenge (or, increasingly, the Africa ECO Race). Pieffers is instead planning to challenge the Baja 1000, aboard a Suzuki DR-Z4S.

Video: Standing vs. Sitting For Off-Road Riding
If you’ve got a lot of experience as a street rider but none as a dirt rider, one of the first things to learn as you head off-road is the capability to stand while riding. This is especially true if you’re coming from cruiser world, where feet-forward riding is the norm, and it might not even be practically possible to stand on your cruiser’s footpegs. But if you’re going to ride the dirt, you’ve got to make that transition, and Barry Morris of Cross Training Adventure is here with some thoughts about the process.
The 2026 CFMOTO MT Challenge Is Over (Time To Get Ready For The 2027 Edition)

The March Of The E-Clutch Continues
Honda continues to expand its E-Clutch across its lineup, with the Rebel 500 the latest model to get the technology.

We’re telling you this because it shows you which way the wind is blowing: Eventually, all Hondas will likely have the E-Clutch or similar technology available.

Tariffs, Taxes and Crooked Dealings—All At Your Local Dealership
This week, dealer guru Mark Sheffield joins the show. Maybe it’s because he’s in the middle of a move, maybe it’s because his cat is driving him mad, but this time around Mark takes off the kid gloves and lays down the facts of dealership life. We ask about tariffs. He says call it what it really is: a tax. (Unbelievably, many people don’t get that.) Then we talk profits. And where they’ve gone. And did you know only one motorcycle brand plays it straight when it comes to pricing?

Hans Muth, Legendary Motorcycle Designer
It is probably fair to say that no motorcycle designer has had more impact in the past 50 years than Hans Muth. Mr. Muth is especially known for his time with BMW and Suzuki through the 1970s and 1980s, although he worked as an industrial designer on other projects as well. He is responsible for many classic BMWs in particular—including the R80 G/S, which saved the Motorrad division from being disposed of.

ZXMoto’s Plans: A Big New Boxer Engine, And Beyond
We live in a quickly-changing world, even in the ultra-conservative domain of the motorcycle, where tradition was traditionally held sacrosanct (if we may be so cheeky as to use the the word tradition twice in a sentence. Make that thrice). No company shows this more clearly than ZXMoto, which has overnight become a Brand To Watch. This was driven home by their presentation at China’s CIMA show a few days ago.

Backcountry Discovery Routes Gives Back In A Way That Helps Everyone
The Backcountry Discovery Routes organization is, obviously, about getting riders out on the trails to enjoy the wilderness.

The people behind the project encourage riders to give back to these towns instead of just riding through.
