Honest motorcycle reviews, practical riding advice, and long-form conversations with the people shaping the sport. Born and raised in Aotearoa (New Zealand), seasoned in Seattle, USA. Riding year-round.
I've been on two wheels for 35 years, and I still do about 20 track days a year. Not as a journalist. Not as a pro racer. Just a rider with a camera and strong opinions about motorcycles.
Over 80 motorcycles have passed through my garage, and I've toured across 3 continents. Sport bikes, nakeds, adventure bikes, classics. Every one taught me what really matters on the street and at the track.
I started KiwiMoto72 to share what I've learned. Not spec sheets and press releases. The stuff you find out after 5,000 miles. How a bike feels in the rain at 7am. Whether the throttle still bothers you after a month. What breaks first and what lasts forever.
Even though I live in rainy Seattle, I try to ride year-round. Rain, cold, whatever. Riding keeps me sharp. It demands focus that nothing else matches. Every intersection, lane change, and corner requires full attention. For a rider in his 50s, that mental engagement is gold.
Reviews grounded in real miles, not press launches. I ride every bike I review as a daily rider, not a weekend warrior.
In-depth interviews with pro racers, suspension tuners, riding coaches, industry leaders, and journalists who live this world.
How does the bike feel? What should you change? What do the spec sheets miss? That's what I cover.
