Japanese Pizza Delivery Scooter Racing is a Thing?

Japanese pizza delivery scooter racing is actually a thing in where else but Japan where riders race against each other on three-wheeled scooters that Japanese use to deliver pizzas.

In the video, you can see two Honda Gyros go head to head with riders in full racing gears and a lot of knee dragging action.

Small capacity scooters like the Honda Gyro are used in Japan to delivers pizzas due to their great mileage and tax deducting properties.

Yes, you read that right. There is actually a motorsport in Japan (where else, of course) that takes the idea of fast pizza pie delivery into a super competitive, adrenaline-filled, petrol-powered extravaganza (not like the Pizza Hut pie). This is the Japanese Pizza Delivery Scooter Racing. (more…)

Great scooter option for students and new riders
8.6hp, 9.1Nm of torque, all-round fun experience

Chains, Belts or Driveshafts – Which is the best Motorcycle Final Drive?

When it comes down to motorcycles, it’s not very often that you hear of a group of bike enthusiasts discuss a motorcycle’s final drive. We are of course referring to the mysterious world of drivetrains. What are drivetrains? Why do we see some manufacturers opt for belt and shaft drives? Is there a reason why the majority of bikes use the chain and sprocket method to transfer the engine’s power to the rear wheel? Let’s get down and dirty with all you need to know about chains, belts and driveshafts.

If you are somewhat familiar with motorcycles, you would know that most of them transfer all the torque and power from the engine through the gearbox before getting assistance from a chain, belt or shaft to get the rear wheel rolling. Without this mechanical ballet, the bike will get nowhere. Below is the breakdown of each individual type. (more…)

Video: Marquez rides scooter on ice and mud

Not too long ago, three time MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez took his RC213V MotoGP Honda race machine off-roading on snow and mud with specially fitted tyres. That made for an awesome video which you can watch below, but it didn’t end with just that.

There’s a new video out and this time Marquez goes out on the new Honda X-ADV scooter. He rides the scooter on the snow of the Hahnenkamm mountain in Kitzhuehel, Austria.

It may seem odd to take a scooter off-roading, but the Honda X-ADV was specially designed for just that. The X-ADV is the perfect cross between the comfort and convenience of a scooter, and the spirit and riding performance of an adventure motorcycle. It achieves awesome off-roading capabilities by utilising a tough chassis, long travel suspension, four-piston radial-mount brakes and a torque-laden 745cc twin-cylinder engine driving power through a welt multiplate hydraulic Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT).

The X-ADV also comes equipped with a 5-level adjustable screen, 21-litre underseat storage space big enough for an off-road helmet, Africa Twin hand guards, rally-style instrument display, centre stand, and the Honda Smart Key system.

The Honda X-ADV is also perfectly suited for everyday riding with selectable riding modes for maximum power or fuel efficiency, five-way adjustable screen, 17-inch front and 15-inch rear wheels and topped off with radial-mount four-piston callipers with ABS for maximum braking power.

Whether or not the Honda X-ADV is the perfect off-road scooter remains to be seen, but for now you can watch Marquez ride the X-ADV the way it is supposed to be ridden in the video below:

We like motorcycle boots that don't look like motorcycle boots. That just adds versatility to them and allows you to use them for purposes other than just riding. That's the first thing we like about the Eleveit Nirvana WP boots, but there are things we don't quite like either. Watch the video to find out!

Oh the blasphemy! We called the Trident 660 a beginner's superbike, but we standby it wholeheartedly. The Trident is fast and a lot of fun, but it is also very accessible for anyone with just a little bit of experience.

And there's not much to worry about either, it is not overly complicated and neither is it very big and heavy. Are u a newbie looking to trade up to a bigger bike? The Triumph Trident 660 may just be worth a look.
