We met the Coopop way back at the 2023 EICMA show in Milan. With its deliciously off-centre looks and funky colours, it was right up our street. Back then, the little bikes were still called the Fuki and the Cox, respectively. Our guess is that when buyers started asking about riding their Cox hard or how to go about polishing their Cox, the company decided a name change was wise. It probably was. The Coopop Rugged GS has now finally and firmly landed in the Netherlands. So it is time to get properly acquainted. The Coopop Rugged RS finally on ...

As it’s recently become VERBOTEN, here’s a video on our first (and apparently last) ever lap of the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife! Featuring @_thefox_thebike_ ...

What is a Coopop Rugged? Go find out now in our latest video on the Tube of You. Does it offroad? Can you take it shopping? Does it make a good desk ornament? Are you allowed to own one, even if you’re not a caravanist? Does it fit in a Ford Fiesta? Who is Keyser Söze? Almost all questions will be answered… maybe. Still here? Go on, go watch it now! ...

All Good Things… After being gently weaned from Harley Davidson’s teat as a stand-alone brand for electric motorcycles, they have done well. Not in terms of sales or profit obviously. Don’t be silly. There are still close to zero humans out there in the real world buying electric motorcycles. Dutch sales figures, for example, show a barely two per cent market share in bike sales for all electric motorcycles combined. BMW sells roughly seven times that number all by itself. No, where they have done well is finally bringing a cool-factor to whizzy biking. Actually, they have so far been ...

Around this same time last year, RunningWide stated that predicting the outcome of even as little as a single motorcycle race is dumb. We then immediately proceeded to do some predicting. And, with three out of four prophecies eventually turning out to be correct, Nostradamus can go right ahead and suck it. Right then, off to the races. Like last year, we’ll predict World Supersport (WSSP), World Superbike (WSBK), Moto2 and MotoGP championships. WSSP In the 600cc class that is no longer really a 600cc class, it will again be the lowly 600 that prevails. Last year, the Ducati V2 ...

I Think I Hate My Favourite Brand It is as we feared. Triumph has just announced their ‘brand new motorcycle’. It is called the Daytona 660, and there is bit of a problem with that. The Love Now I should start by stating very clearly that I like Triumph a lot. If Triumph and I would have been classmates when we were young, we would have been besties for ever and ever for sure. We’d like the same girls, fight bullies together, read the same comics and build a treehouse. I like their bikes, their engines, their weird British way ...
