Weekend #motorcycle reading from the archives: The stats and the anecdotal information match up. The average age of motorcyclists in the United States is getting up there. Here are some numbers that tell the tale. #motosky theridesofar.com/2023/12/moto...

Pretty sure charging stations can be used by motorcycles, bud. Can I assume you’re just here to stir shit and not actually talk about motorcycles?

That’s not a political statement that’s a fact.

They approved billions of dollars to install the chargers and due to red tape built into the process of getting them installed, failed to install many. Funding was approved and it still didn’t happen in many cases. That is a fail in my book. I make no political statement about it.

Maybe read the article. They matter because you need chargers to charge the electric motorcycles (and other EVs). Part of the issue with owning electric motorcycles is that there are not enough public charging stations. It’s just part of the problem but it’s a major one.

2025 KTM 390 Enduro R first ride review - RevZilla The 390 Enduro R brings more features and a lower price to the dual-sport segment than its competitors but it still has a few bothersome issues.

Low price, lots of features, but still with a few issues.

Infrastructure Bill Failed to Deliver Many EV Chargers, KTM's 790 Models Disappear, Triumph's Thruxton Is Nearly Here The custom bike feature this week is a gorgeous Triumph Bonneville T100

Newsletter is out and the key story this week is the abysmal number of EV chargers built using infrastructure funding that was approved under Biden.

Fewer than 400 chargers were built. That is a failure.

RCR is doing bikes again, and it's hard to overlook something as timeless as this Ducati. But what makes this different from motorcycles of the same era?

The KTM 790 Adventure And 790 Duke Were Cut From The US Lineup | Wind Burned Eyes Due to tariffs, the KTM 790 Adventure and 790 Duke will no longer be sold in the USA. They're a global effort to make and don't make sense for the US.

Another casualty of tariffs.

If you search for the bike specifically it comes up. But if you go to KTM’s homepage, it’s not listed with the other bikes. At any rate, folks, if you want a new 790 in the US hurry up before they’re gone.
