Motorcycle News, Reviews and Practical Tips

Welcome to the motorcycle corner of Subaru Motorsport Hub. Whether you’re hunting for the newest bike, need a quick maintenance shortcut, or just love hearing how Subaru’s racing DNA shows up on two wheels, you’re in the right place.

What’s Hot in the Motorcycle World Right Now?

Every month brings fresh releases, and the current buzz revolves around lightweight sport bikes, electric commuters and adventure rigs that can tackle both pavement and off‑road trails. The 2025 Kawasaki Ninja ZX‑10RR, for example, promises a tighter chassis and a rider‑oriented electronics suite that even seasoned track day fans rave about. On the electric side, the Zero SR/F keeps improving its range, now hitting about 200 miles on a single charge—enough for most daily commutes.

If you love a bit of Subaru flair, keep an eye on the upcoming Subaru‑supported custom builds. Local shops are fitting Subaru WRX turbochargers onto small‑bore motorcycles for that extra punch, proving the brand’s engineering spirit isn’t limited to four wheels.

Riding Tips That Actually Save You Time and Money

New riders often wonder how to keep the bike in top shape without a garage full of tools. Start with a quick visual check every morning: look at tire tread, press the brake levers for firm feel, and make sure the chain or belt is snug but not overtight. A clean chain with fresh lubricant can improve fuel efficiency by up to 5%.

Next, master the art of the proper gear shift. For a smooth downshift, roll off the throttle, pull in the clutch, shift, then gently rev match before releasing the clutch. This reduces wear on the transmission and gives you better control when entering a corner.

When it comes to fuel, avoid constantly topping up after every short ride. Let the tank dip to about a quarter before refilling; this keeps the fuel pump cooler and extends its life. And if you’re riding an electric bike, keep the battery between 20% and 80% charge whenever possible to preserve long‑term health.

Finally, wear the right gear. A good helmet, gloves, and a jacket with proper armor are non‑negotiable. They protect you in a crash and also keep you comfortable on long rides, which means you’ll enjoy motorcycling more often.

That’s the quick rundown. Stay tuned for deeper dive articles, hands‑on reviews, and community stories that bring the excitement of motorcycles and Subaru motorsport together. Ride safe and keep the throttle open!

How does a gear shifter work in motorcycle drag racing?

How does a gear shifter work in motorcycle drag racing?

Motorcycle drag racing requires the use of a gear shifter to shift gears in order to maximize the speed of the bike. The gear shifter works by activating the clutch, which disengages the engine from the transmission, allowing the bike to shift gears. The rider then uses the gear shifter to select the next gear, which is then engaged by releasing the clutch. In order to make the most efficient shifts, riders must know how to time the shifts correctly and use the correct amount of throttle to match the engine speed to the transmission. This allows the bike to accelerate quickly and make the most of the available power.
