May 2021
May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, and we’ve included a couple of articles to shed some light on safety. As well, “Kindred Karma” features a beautiful Honda CB750 Café Racer. We also bring you a test ride on the newly revised Moto Guzzi V7, in addition to the story of Jim Feuling, an engineering genius who designed the outrageous W3 engine. Our travel features include a ride with the rich and famous along New York’s Hudson River, while the pandemic swayed another rider to head to Ontario’s 11,000-acre Ganaraska Forest for a weekend of single-track riding.

April 2021
Kawasaki’s purchase of 49.9% of Bimota made the resurrection of the Tesi hub-centre steering concept possible, and what better to power such a machine than Kawasaki’s H2 supercharged engine. Alan Cathcart tells us what it’s like to ride such a machine. Our travel features include Quebec’s Gaspé Peninsula and Ontario’s Algoma Country. While most of the country is thawing out and riders are awaiting their initial spring ride, we bring you a comprehensive checklist to ensure your bike is in tip-top shape for your first ride. All this and so much more in our April issue.

March 2021
Next to helmets, airbag jackets and vests are the biggest thing in motorcycle consumer safety. More manufacturers and advanced technology mean prices are dropping, thus making this gear more appealing to the masses. We review a couple of the untethered options on the market. Our travel feature takes us to British Columbia’s Interior. Also in this issue is a review of Kawasaki’s KLX230 ABS – a non-intimidating, lightweight dual-sport play bike. And we feature the exceptional photography of world-traveller Jason Spafford. These stories are just a few of what you’ll find in the March issue of Motorcycle Mojo magazine.

January/February 2021
This month, we ride the 2021 BMW R18. It’s no surprize that the engine is the highlight of this competent retro-style cruiser. We also feature a comparison between the KTM 790 Adventure R (and its 790 Adventure sibling) and the Yamaha Ténéré 700. Our travel feature is a ride from Virginia to Pennsylvania, and we are reminded to not repeat the events of the past. We also report on the WANDR Rally, which is held in the interior of British Columbia: it’s a navigation rally like no other. Our custom feature is a beautifully “café’d” Kawasaki KZ750. We also take a look at Dreamcycle Motorcycle Museum in Sorrento, B.C.

December 2020
Welcome to our eight annual world travel issue. Jeremy Kroeker and Elle West tell of an emotional roller coaster while in Bolivia; J.R. Patterson tackles Nicaragua on a bike that isn’t really suited to overland travel; Andy Davidson and Alissa Potter fall in love with Laos; Diane Lee wanted to see Vietnam by motorcycle but she doesn’t ride, so she settled for a scenic sidecar tour; and Welsh photographer Owen Howells was on assignment in Spain when the country went into lockdown. His is a tale of a high-speed race against the clock to catch the last ferry back to the U.K. And last but not least, Curtis Nickel discovers the history and the amazing riding in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Montenegro.

November 2020
We feature two 160-horsepower adventure bikes in this issue –: KTM’s 1290 Super Adventure R and BMW’s S1000XR. Our travel feature involves three brothers and a family reunion for a ride along a loop of in the Maritimes. Also in this issue, we bring you an impromptu ride on a Beta 200 RR, which, according to author Misti Hurst, makes for an excellent trail bike. If you’re thinking of shelling out for a new motorcycle seat, you’ll need to read this our seat comparison before buying a new saddle. The legendary “Outlaw Dave” Rhodes and his contribution to the motorcycle industry community is also in this issue, while a pair of sidecar-riding dogs that who brings smiles to everyone are highlighted.
