Few motorcycles carry the historical weight of the Vincent Black Shadow. Introduced in 1948, the British superbike became one of the fastest production motorcycles of its era and helped establish a reputation that still fascinates enthusiasts decades later.

At this year’s Bike Shed Moto Show, one motorcycle managed to stand out even among rows of radical custom builds and exotic machinery. Called the Cyclone, the bike is a heavily reworked Suzuki GSX-R1000R created by custom builder Marc Bell of Haxch Moto — and it feels like a fascinating collision between two completely different eras of sportbike design....

A good urban bike helmet is supposed to disappear once you put it on. That sounds simple, but it’s surprisingly rare.

Xiaomi has made its clearest move yet against Tesla in China’s brutal EV market — and this time, the strategy feels far more calculated. At its “Human x Car x Home” launch event, Xiaomi unveiled a new entry-level YU7 Standard Edition priced at RMB 233,500 (about $32,400), dramatically undercutting the Tesla Model Y by RMB 30,000 ($4,350). ...
