Here's A Pop-Up Motorcycle Camper To Roll Through 2021

Pop-Up Motorcycle Camper

While a roll-up tent is possibly the more versatile option if want to try your hand at moto camping, for those living the camper lifestyle, something a little sturdier and more comfortable is required. 

For Two Wheels Big Life couple Rich and Chris, that little something sturdier is a practical pop-up camper. It can easily be towed by a motorcycle and provides more creatures comfort than a standard tent. 

The Honda CB350 RS Is The Cool New Scrambler Kid On The Block

Only a few days after the new Honda CB350's debut, there was already talk of a café racer and a scrambler version in the works. Honda’s Indian branch later confirmed the rumor when it sent the teaser image of a new CB350 variant to the local media, inviting people to tune in on February 16, 2021, for the launch of a new family member. 

That's when we met the all-new Honda CB350 RS, or what happens when the little CB gets the scrambler treatment. Honda gave the bike a few upgrades to make it look a little sportier and more off-road-ready. All the underpinnings are the same as the base CB350, from the double-cradle frame to the 348cc thumper rated at 20.7 horsepower and 22 lb-ft of torque.

For adventure and dual-sport riding enthusiasts, the comparison between the new Kawasaki KLR650 and the Yamaha Ténéré is a no-brainer. Both bikes take a minimalistic approach to adventure riding, equipped with minimal technology and assists to keep the experience as simple as possible. 

YouTuber Adventure Bike Troop put them head to head for what he calls a fair comparison to try and figure out which one stands out.

This 1975 Honda CL360 Crate Bike Is A Literal Time Capsule

1975 Honda CL360 Crate Bike

We always like a good crate bike story. Because they've never been used, they're quite literally time capsules of their era. 

This particular 1975 Honda CL360 was assembled by Garrett Honda in Louisiana in 1978, then put back in its shipping crate for safekeeping. In 2020, the current owner bought it from the son of the original dealer, who had stored it at his home since 2000. It appears to have never been put on the road. Though the odometer is at zero, the bike would need a bit of love if someone eventually considered christening it. If not, it's a beautiful keepsake to collect.

It also gets a five-way adjustable windscreen, new handguards, and a sump plate for extra protection and durability in off-road situations.

At the heart of the 2021 Honda X-ADV is a 745cc liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine fitted with an 8-valve cylinder head. The engine is rated for 57 hp and50.89 lb-ft of torque making for a comfortable yet nimble ride on city streets, highways, and light off-road duties.

There's no such thing as a bike that can't be taken off-road. Sure, some bikes will put up a bigger fight than others and will likely make you regret your decision to head off the beaten paths but ultimately, you'll also end up with the coolest story to tell.  


That's precisely the decision YouTuber Million Dollar Bogan made when he decided to hit the trails with the most unlikely bike possible: a Harley-Davidson Road King. The bike is neither light nor nimble but somehow, the guy made it work.
