At their Classic & Collectable Car & Motorcycle Auction this past March, Burns & Co. offered a wide range of cars and motorcycles, including some rare, unusual and highly desirable models. Of the selection of two-wheel machines up for grabs, highlights included a 1973 Kawasaki H1, 1996 Ducati 916, 2004 Ducati 999S and a 1978 BMW R100S. The auction also featured a rare, Australian-made Invincible JAP from the 1920s that was unrestored, but had been recently returned to running condition. However, the real head turner was a nicely presented replica of the ‘Captain America’ chopper ridden by Wyatt (Peter Fonda) in the 1969 counterculture cinema classic, Easy Rider. Built around a genuine 1962 Harley Davidson panhead v-twin and a frame from D&D Cycle in California, this replica was fitted with…

Full credit must go to Royal Enfield for wringing ever variant possible out of their platforms. In the case of the 648cc twins, what started with the Interceptor 650 naked and Continental GT 650 café racer has been joined by the Super Meteor 650 cruiser and Bear 650 scrambler. More recently, the modern, bobber-inspired Shotgun 650 was added to the ranks, while the impending release of the Classic 650, an unashamed retro throwback, will take the platform back to its roots. While the Classic 650 will show what the Royal Enfield brand was, the Shotgun 650 is all about what it is now and what it can be in the future… Having ridden the Interceptor, Continental GT and Super Meteor, I had some idea of what I was in for…

Following its unveiling in production form last July and a US market release in September, CFMOTO have confirmed their 675SR-R sportsbike is coming to Australia. A big brother to the 450SR-S that’s already available locally, the 675SR-R will land here in May, priced from $11,790 ride away. CFMOTO’s entry into the competitive mid-capacity sports motorcycle segment was first seen in prototype form back in 2023. And while it’s not an homologated race bike, like Honda’s CBR600RR or the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R, the 675SR-R compares very favourably to Triumph’s Daytona 660, the Aprilia RS 660, Honda CBR650R and Yamaha’s YZF-R7 HO in the street-legal, midsize sportsbike segment. NEW TRIPLE Powered by an all-new, 675cc inline triple with 11.5:1 compression and Bosch electronic fuel injection, the 675SR-R’s peak outputs of 70kW (94hp)…

For their new inductees into the Australian Motorsport Hall of Fame for 2025, Motorsport Australia has recognised the achievements of Chad Reed in supercross and motocross, Chris Matheson in motorcycle drag racing and our winning team of female riders at the International Six Day Enduro – Tayla Jones, Jemma Wilson and Jessica Gardiner. At a ceremony held during the Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix in Melbourne, Jones, Wilson, Gardiner and Matheson received their awards alongside inductees from four-wheel motorsport (Reed sent a pre-recorded video message). They were joined by Casey Stoner, who was elevated to Legend status this year after initially being inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2016. Jones, Wilson and Gardiner have excelled in domestic motocross and enduro competition, but were recognised by Motorsport Australia for their…

In line with the 850cc bikes and new technical regulations that will be introduced to MotoGP in 2027, the category will also switch from Michelin to Pirelli tyres. This follows the Italian brand replacing Dunlop as the sole tyre supplier in Moto3 and Moto2 in 2024. The deal with MotoGP will run for five years (until the end of 2031) and include the MotoE World Championship switching to Pirelli tyres from 2027, too. Michelin has been the official tyre supplier for the premier class since 2016, replacing Bridgestone, who was the exclusive supplier for seven years prior to that. In MotoE, Michelin has been sole tyre supplier for the electric bike championship since it was founded (as the MotoE World Cup) in 2019. How Pirelli managed to wrestle the MotoGP…
