For Richard Pickering, his 1955 Triumph TR2 brings him full circle, back to the day when he was a young car nut growing up in Toronto. At that time, those with a high percentage of gasoline coursing through their veins (leaded of course) were divided into two polarized automotive camps – the ’55 Chevy crowd and the Tea Cuppers. Still, afte

In many ways, 2016 will be the Year of the Adventure Bike. With multiple adventure models being released – some by the same manufacturer – it’s clearly a segment of focus for the coming year. But it’s not all for the high-mileage, soft-road types. Ducati has a new iteration of their uber-successful Scrambler, plus an Italian take on the foot-forwar

Over the past few years, motorcycles have enjoyed a surge in popularity among celebrities, although the reasons are up for debate. Certainly the popularity of the hit show Sons of Anarchy has played its part, but that can't explain why all of a sudden it's easy to spot a superstar on a bike instead of tucked behind the wheel of a sportscar. Here's

The 2016 Toronto Motorcycle Show kicked off today, Friday February 19 and runs until Sunday February 21 at the Enercare Centre in Toronto. The show features some of the best motorcycles of 2016 from every major manufacturer - and a few other makes as well. Highlights include the official Canadian unveiling of the new Low Rider S and Pro S

So you’ve just finished cruising all the way home in your new dream machine, proud as punch, knowing you’re the coolest thing on four wheels. But wait, there’s a problem. When the engine’s shut off and you’re inside the mall or Taco Bell, how will everyone know what fly new ride is yours?

Here's our first look at Charlize Theron as Cipher, the antagonist in the upcoming installment of the Fast and the Furious franchise, Fast 8. Details about the film are sketchy: the plot hasn't been announced, but it is well known that parts of the movie take place in Iceland and Cuba. Whatever happens on-screen, based on this photo, it looks li

Spring can’t arrive soon enough for those who ride motorcycles. The Motorcycle Show in Toronto provides a great mid-winter reprieve to plan trips, invest in some updated gear, and buy, or enter to win a new motorcycle. It’s running February 15–17, at the Enercare Centre at Exhibition Place in Toronto. Ontario’s only stop on the motorcycle manufa

If you’re a motorcyclist, 2017 is looking like a great year, especially if you’re looking to buy a new bike. Whether you’re a seasoned riding veteran or a novice fresh out of riding training, whether you’re on a student’s budget or have limitless moto-money, there are a number of new bikes that are worthy of your hard-earned dollars. BMW G310GS

Looking for a throwback to the days where motoring really meant something? Wind in your face, side curtains up. A warm Harris Tweed scarf, some string-backed gloves, and you're ready to go. If that sounds like what you're looking for, this 1952 Morgan Plus 4 might be just the ticket. A 1952 "flat radiator" model, with a 1991 cc four-cylinder engine

As far as unique cars go, our Find of the Week might be as special as they get. No, it’s not a rare supercar or an expensive custom Porsche, but we’re pretty sure if it’s looks you’re after, you’ll get way more attention in this Amphicar 770. “If it’s a nice sunny day, you can get 200 people around you,” says its seller, Michael Smith. Th

It’s fair to say that motorcyclists are a little unhinged. It’s the best thing about us. We like silly, crazy, fast, adrenalin-packed things. So when it comes to wowing us with advertising, you kind of have to go the extra mile. Luckily for lovers of motorcycling and cool adverts alike manufacturers frequently do. These are some of the best effo

The nutcase on the Goldwing in front of me battles with physics and sanity – throwing his behemoth into corners with apparent disregard for the foot pegs, engine covers or limits of adhesion. A shower of sparks erupts from under my colleague, Bertrand Gahel’s, footboards and I wonder if the tailgunner for our trio and frequent autoTRADER.ca contrib

Volkswagen’s new Golf R hot hatch has been receiving heaping doses of praise from enthusiasts and the media alike. Heck, as one of three finalists for the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada’s Canadian Car of the Year Awards, it was nearly crowned the best new car for 2016. Imagine a car that amplifies all that’s endearing about the

Just because an item is viewed as deeply uncool by vast swaths of the nation doesn’t mean it isn’t any good. Consider the art of accordion playing, for example. Or the shirt your author is currently wearing. The same holds true for minivans. While most of the motoring public view these boxes-on-wheels as something to which one resigns themselves

It’s official. With BMW pulling the plug on manual-equipped, rear-wheel-drive 3 Series for North America in 2019, the sport sedan is dead. It was a good run: 50 years exactly, if you count the sport sedan’s opening bookend to be the 1968 introduction of BMW’s 2002. Sure, the Brits had a few “super saloons” before then, and BMW itself was already
