If you like long-distance motorcycle touring and want to take it a level higher, you could try your hand in long-distance endurance rides where you would need to cover a predetermined distance in a certain time.

We highly recommend motorcyclists to attend track days because it makes them a better rider not only on the race track but also out in the urban jungle. But not everyone has easy access to a proper and recognised race track. Emiratis, however, should be thankful because they have two world-famous race tracks - Dubai Autodrome, Dubai and Yas...

Even though there are numerous kinds of motorcycles available in the UAE, we have to accept that cruisers are the most popular ones, even in their custom avatars. And only select motorcycle brands in the world make top-notch cruisers. One of those brands is Indian Motorcycle, America’s first motorcycle company, which is very popular in the UAE and is...

It seems that the transformation from conventional petrol-powered engines to electric motors was smooth and seamless for the dirt bikes sector/industry. Perhaps, because slapping on an electric motor in a dirt bike appears more sensible than doing the same for a road-going motorcycle. Don’t you think so? Dirt bikes usually cover short distances and need low-end torque for fighting the...

Indian Motorcycle shifted from its usual product format and came up with a fabulous naked streetfighter, the FTR 1200. Indian has a lot of experience in flat-track racing and it utilised that to develop the new motorcycle. It also revealed a rally version at EICMA 2019 which is going to be that much better off the roads. Now, the...

Most of us know Lotfi Hamrouni as the motorcyclist who created a new world record of covering the greatest distance (5,325 km) on a motorcycle in 47 hours on public roads in the UAE on the occasion of 47th UAE National Day in 2018. This year, he wanted to stretch that distance even further and set a new world...

Most of the people these days advise others to follow their passion, chase their dreams. But in reality, most probably, they themselves aren’t doing that. It is easier said than done, right? But some people in this world have fought the odds, travelled the road less taken, in fact, made up new paths for themselves, to achieve their dreams. Things...

Round 1 of the 2019-20 National Sportsbike Super Series was superb. We witnessed brilliant racing by the participants in all the categories. There’s no doubt that these racers are immensely talented. What made the first round even more interesting was the participation of the multiple times British Motorcycle Champion, Mike ‘Spike’ Edwards via a wildcard entry. He took the...

Abu Dhabi Police likes to keep its fleet of cars up to date. To give you an example, it has cars like McLarens, Bentleys, Lamborghinis, and even a freaking $3.4 million Lykan HyperSport! However, it wanted something smaller and lighter that offered more agility without compromising on performance. And, perhaps, that’s why Abu Dhabi Police added Ducati Panigale V4R...

We hope that you enjoyed Round 5 of UAE Baja Championship 2019 that took place earlier this month in Abu Dhabi and thus was also called Abu Dhabi Baja. Now, the Championship has reached its final round which is scheduled to take place next month. However, there has been a slight change of plans. The concerned authorities have released a...
