Aerodynamic warfare spills over into mass-market vehicles as BMW develops an active aerodynamics system.
In today’s racing world, aerodynamics is undeniably a critical factor—so much so that even in the two-wheeled motorcycle arena, aerodynamic performance often determines victory or defeat. That’s why top teams invest heavily in aerodynamic testing. Meanwhile, even production models now highlight aerodynamic efficiency as a major selling point. Recently, BMW has been applying for a patent on an innovative active aerodynamic kit, which could very well make its way onto the upcoming S1000RR.

How to prevent motorcycle electrical system failures?
These are connection terminals used for wiring, commonly found in older motorcycles. Over time, the condition of these connections can gradually deteriorate depending on how the motorcycle is stored. Corrosion, degradation, or contamination at the contact areas between the terminals can create electrical resistance, potentially leading to damage. Moreover, the heat generated by this increased resistance might even cause the wire harness connectors to melt—leading, in severe cases, to complete wire burnout and necessitating a full replacement of the main wiring system. That’s why we’ve put together this guide today, sharing some practical tips to help prevent wire harness failures caused by aging and deterioration.

The motorcycle was spitting out loud noises and emitting black smoke—but after repairs, its top speed increased by 40 mph.
I just took on a job repairing a Taiwanese-made Kymco 125cc scooter, which has only logged a little over 40,000 kilometers in total. The owner mentioned that the bike started occasionally backfiring last year—but since they don’t ride it very often, they hadn’t paid much attention to the issue until now. But lately, the problem seems to be getting worse. Not only are the backfires happening more frequently, but the scooter has also begun emitting thick black smoke. Plus, when you twist the throttle, it feels seriously underpowered, and even at full throttle, it can barely reach 50 km/h. It’s clearly affecting the riding experience, so the owner brought it in for me to take a look.

Harley-Davidson announces its withdrawal from the Indian market after 11 years of struggling sales in the country.
On September 24, Harley-Davidson, the major U.S. motorcycle manufacturer, announced it would be pulling out of the Indian market. Despite having established an assembly plant locally, the company was unable to reverse its struggling performance in India and has decided to exit the country. U.S. President Trump has long been a vocal admirer of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. In response to India’s high tariffs on Harley bikes, Trump even stepped in personally several times to intervene—going so far as to specifically mention the issue during his call with Indian Prime Minister Modi. Yet, it now appears that Trump’s efforts ultimately proved futile.
