Buell Motorcycles Returns with Potential Super Cruiser Launch

Image
A New Era for Buell: The Super Cruiser Buell has a long history of pushing boundaries and challenging conventions. From its inception in the 1980s, the brand was known for bold ideas and a strong racing heritage. It carved out a unique niche in the motorcycle world by refusing to follow the crowd. While not every concept worked, Buell’s willingness to take risks set it apart from the competition. The brand faced a major setback when Harley-Davidson discontinued its production in 2009. This marked a difficult period for Buell, as the company struggled with uncertainty, failed attempts at revival, and questions about its future. However, Buell has shown resilience and determination, working tirelessly to reestablish itself in the market. Now, the brand is back with a new project that has captured the attention of riders and enthusiasts alike—the Buell Super Cruiser. This model has been in development for several years, with its launch timeline stretching longer than many anticipated. ...

Chinese Scooter Mimics Italjet Dragster Design

Image
A New Era for Motorcycle Manufacturing QJ Motor is set to launch the 700 Dragster in China, marking a significant development in the motorcycle industry. This model is essentially a rebadged version of the Italjet Dragster 700 Twin, and the collaboration has been officially approved by Italjet. At first glance, the blurry image of the QJ Motor 700 Dragster might have seemed like another Chinese imitation of the Italjet Dragster. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that this is not just a simple copy. QJ Motor, one of the largest motorcycle manufacturers in China, is known for its brands such as Benelli, Keeway, and MBP. More importantly, QJ Motor is the official distributor of Italjet in China, making this partnership legitimate. The QJ Motor 700 Dragster closely resembles the Italjet Dragster 700 Twin. It features the same 693cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine, a 6-speed foot shifter, chain drive, steel trellis frame, Marzocchi suspension, Brembo brakes, and twin e...

Marc Marquez and Pedro Acosta Resist MotoGP's Anti-Highside Software

Image
Top MotoGP Riders Voice Concerns Over New Stability Control System At the upcoming Austrian Grand Prix, top MotoGP riders Marc Marquez and Pedro Acosta have raised concerns about the introduction of a new stability control system. This software is designed to reduce engine torque when the bike slides, and it will be implemented at the Red Bull Ring this weekend. While teams are not required to use the system, its potential competitive advantage means that most will likely adopt it. This move contradicts the broader narrative in MotoGP that rider aids are being phased out. The series is set to ban ride height and holeshot devices from 2027, along with reducing the impact of aerodynamics through new regulations. The introduction of stability control seems to run counter to these changes. MotoGP officials claim the system is a safety measure aimed at preventing dangerous highside crashes. However, during a press conference ahead of the Austrian race, Marquez expressed his opposition. K...
