By Alex Naumov on February 24, 2026 at 6:33 AM
Few motorcycles have reshaped long‑distance riding as profoundly as the Honda Gold Wing. When the first GL1000 arrived in the mid‑1970s, it combined a flat‑four engine, shaft drive, and remarkable smoothness in a way that made 500‑mile days feel ordinary rather than heroic. Over the n …
Suzuki GSX‑R Evolution: 40 Years of Race‑Replica Sportbikes
By Alex Naumov on February 24, 2026 at 6:31 AM
When Suzuki launched the GSX‑R750 in 1985, it did more than add another fast motorcycle to showroom floors. It created a new category: the mass‑produced race‑replica sportbike. Aluminum frames, full fairings, aggressive ergonomics, and barely detuned race engines became the new benchm …
Yamaha XS650 Evolution: 1968–1988 Parallel‑Twin Survivor
By Alex Naumov on February 24, 2026 at 6:30 AM
The Yamaha XS650 is one of those rare motorcycles that managed to stay relevant for two full decades with the same basic engine layout. Launched at the end of the 1960s to challenge British twins, it survived well into the late 1980s as a standard, commuter, and eventually a custom‑le …

From the late 1960s onward, three very different Japanese motorcycles reshaped how riders think about parallel twins, sportbikes, and long‑distance touring. The Yamaha XS650 proved that a seemingly simple parallel twin could survive two full decades in production. The Suzuki GSX‑R fam …

By Alex Naumov on February 23, 2026 at 7:41 AM
Buick’s Gran Sport story is one of the most interesting arcs in the classic muscle‑car era. What began in 1965 as a performance option on the Skylark quietly evolved into a full model line with its own engines, trims, and ultimately the wild GSX halo car. By 1972, the GS badge represe …
Buick 455 Stage 1: The Torque Monster Buick Got Right
By Alex Naumov on February 23, 2026 at 7:38 AM
Among Detroit’s big‑block legends, the Buick 455 Stage 1 stands apart. On paper, its advertised horsepower looked modest compared to some rivals, but real‑world testing told a different story: massive, low‑rpm torque that shoved heavy GS and GSX models down the quarter‑mile quicker th …
1970 Buick GSX Stage 1: Forgotten Factory Freak Muscle Car
By Alex Naumov on February 23, 2026 at 7:36 AM
In 1970, Buick built a car that could run with the quickest Detroit heavy‑hitters—and in many tests, quietly beat them. The 1970 Buick GSX Stage 1 paired a brutally strong 455‑cubic‑inch V8 with luxury‑level refinement and limited production, then wrapped it in just two high‑impact co …

By Alex Naumov on February 23, 2026 at 7:32 AM
Buick is often remembered as GM’s “gentleman’s brand,” but for a brief window at the start of the 1970s it built some of the most devastating factory muscle cars in America. The 1970 Buick GSX Stage 1 delivered huge torque and real‑world acceleration that put it in direct contention w …
