Roland Sands Design and CFMOTO have collaborated to create an urban stunt machine based on the Ibex 450 adventure bike, dubbed the Vandal.
CFMOTO and Roland Sands have collaborated to create a custom bike based on the Ibex 450, and a film featuring the bike will premiere live on March 28 at the Handbuilt Motorcycle Show. The Ibex 450 Vandal is described by CFMOTO as a “small-displacement, high-adrenaline supermoto stunt machine.”
The Ibex 450 Vandal was originally revealed at the Gymkhana race course at RSD’s 2024 Moto Beach Classic last fall. Its canvas, the CFMOTO Ibex 450, entered the market for model-year 2025 as a lightweight, fully capable, and affordable adventure bike. This feature-rich ADV has an MSRP of $6,499, saving customers spending money to experiment with customization and personalization, which the Vandal demonstrates.
Catch the Vandal’s film premiere at the Handbuilt Motorcycle Show in Austin, Texas.
“We took inspiration from street skating and BMX and mixed it with tight urban supermoto riding,” said Roland Sands. “The Vandal is built to send it – pure fun, style, and pushing limits.”
A film featuring the Vandal will premiere at the Handbuilt Motorcycle Show in Austin, Texas, on March 28. Hosted by Revival Cycles, Handbuilt is held during the MotoGP weekend in Austin and draws more than 25,000 attendees to come and enjoy hand-built motorcycles, custom cars, and live exhibits. This year’s show will also feature the Ives Brothers’ Wall of Death, Red Bull stunt rider Aaron Colton, and live motorcycle paintings by Makoto Endo.
The Vandal features wrap instead of paint, leaning into its street style.
For those who won’t be attending the Handbuilt show, the film will be available on CFMOTO’s YouTube page from March 26-28. At the show, attendees can enjoy RSD’s stunt video screening at the CFMOTO stage throughout the weekend.
Expect stunts and more from RSD’s film about the Vandal.
“Roland Sands is legendary in the world of custom motorcycles and racing,” said Reid Strait, marketing communications manager at CFMOTO USA. “The Vandal highlights the Ibex 450’s versatility, and this film captures that energy, attitude, and drama. This project is about pushing the sport and craft of riding forward. We can’t wait for everyone to see it in action.”

The Can-Am Pulse roadster (left) and Origin dual-sport (right) earned BRP the iF Design Award for outstanding and innovative designs.
BRP, the parent company of Can-Am, has been recognized with an iF Design Award for the brand’s two new electric motorcycles, the Can-Am Pulse roadster and Can-Am Origin dual-sport. For the 2025 awards, 131 jurors from 23 countries met for three days to select outstanding and innovative designs.
2025 Can-Am Pulse roadster
The iF Design Awards are assigned based on a product’s innovation, functionality, and aesthetics, with a focus on sustainability. The Pulse and Origin mark a bold reentrance to the two-wheeled market for Can-Am, offering unique styling and integrated technology like their liquid-cooled power system that helps limit battery degradation and optimize charge time. The two bikes share many components but offer riders different experiences, with the Pulse being designed for daily use and urban mobility and the Origin being designed for both on- and off-road duty.
2025 Can-Am Origin dual-sport
“We are incredibly honored to receive this recognition from the iF Design Award,” said Denys Lapointe, chief design officer at BRP. “I want to acknowledge the work of the passionate team who designed these motorcycles, reaffirming once again BRP’s commitment to developing products that shift the paradigm. The Can-Am Pulse and Can-Am Origin redefine electric motorcycle riding. They have distinct personalities but have one major thing in common: they blend iconic style with forward-thinking technology, providing people with unparalleled riding experiences.”
Both the Pulse and Origin use a 11-kW Rotax E-Power motor with an 8.9-kWh battery, producing a claimed 47 hp and 53 lb-ft of torque.
When we reviewed the Pulse and Origin in Texas in September 2024, we were impressed with the bikes’ innovation and functionality, stating that “If Can-Am can crack the range issue, these bikes would be unstoppable. Everything else – build quality, performance, design, and tech – is simply outstanding…” For an in-depth look and riding impressions, read our 2025 Can-Am Pulse and Origin Review or watch our YouTube video review.
Congratulations to BRP and Can-Am for this prestigious international award. All iF Design Award winners will be celebrated at the iF Design Award Night in Berlin on April 28, 2025. Find more information about the awards at the iF Design website.
The Origin began arriving at dealerships in January, and the Pulse is arriving at dealerships now. Visit the Can-Am website for more information.
Episode 78 of the Rider Magazine Insider Podcast is brought to you by Western Power Sports. In this episode, Greg and Duke talk about the 50th anniversary of the Honda Gold Wing and their video “Think You Know the Gold Wing? Think Again.” They also talk about 2025 Daytona Bike Week: races, bike shows, Main Street, beach riding, and more.
The Petersen’s “The American Motorcycle: Pioneering Machines From the Bunch Family Collection” displays historic old motorcycles, like this 1912 Flying Merkel
The magnificent Petersen Automotive Museum has added a motorcycle exhibit to its stunning collection of cars, which showcases more than 25 rare motorbikes from the turn of the century to the 1930s.
Called “The American Motorcycle: Pioneering Machines From the Bunch Family Collection,” the display highlights some of the rarest and most historically significant motorcycles ever produced and explores the contributions of American motorcycling pioneers.
In the early 1900s, Sears offered an array of items to consumers, including this 1912 V-Twin streetbike.
It opened March 15 with motorcycles from the internationally renowned collection of the Bunch family, and it will be on display in the Richard Varner Family Gallery on the museum’s second floor in Los Angeles until April 26, 2026.
Here’s a selection of a few rare machines in the exhibit.
1898 Cleveland Tricycle
This 1898 Cleveland tricycle was one of the first cycles manufactured in the United States. Check out the wacky spring used for front suspension.
This is one of America’s oldest motorized cycles from a pioneering manufacturer, Cleveland, and it features the first spring-fork front suspension.
1904 Thomas Auto-Bi
The Auto-Bi was created by the E.R. Thomas Company, the first motorcycle manufacturer in America to design and build its own bikes and engines.
1905 Nelk
The 1905 Nelk used a series of heat exchangers behind the steering head to shed heat from the liquid-cooled cylinder head.
Nelk manufactured motorcycles in Palo Alto, California, many with advanced technology for its era. This one has a liquid-cooled and rubber-mounted engine with overhead cams and is one of the few surviving models.
1908 Indian Single
In 1908, Indian built this close-coupled single-cylinder motorcycle, which was used in early “Globe of Death” exhibitions.
An early Indian is rare in itself, but this one was owned by stuntwoman CeDora, famous for her performances in the “Globe of Death,” in which riders defy gravity by using centripetal force.
1911 Marvel
History buffs will recognize the Marvel name, as it was a brand created by the legendary Glenn Curtiss, who had designed Curtiss motorcycles and engines for dirigibles and airplanes.
1936 Crocker Speedway Racer
Before Crocker became famous for its legendary V-Twin streetbikes, it was dominating racing with its line of speedway racers.
Crocker’s V-Twins are some of the most prized American motorcycles in the world, famous for overhead-valve engines that could outrun the revered H-D Knuckleheads. The Crocker V-Twins were based on the company’s single-cylinder speedway engines, like the one in this racebike that was manufactured the same year Crocker began production of its V-Twin streetbikes.
If you’re ever near the Los Angeles area, the Petersen museum should be on the list of any gearhead’s itinerary, and it’s even better with more motorbikes in it.
This 1909 Harley-Davidson can be seen at the Petersen’s new motorcycle exhibit.

Daytona Bike Week is the most multifarious big motorcycle event in the country and perhaps in the world. Nowhere else can you find the diversity of cultures and activities seen during Bike Week. It’s a place where the rumblings of V-Twins mix with sportbike shrieks and where the slow crawl of Main Street contrasts with 180-mph velocities at Daytona International Speedway.
Daytona Bike Week is the unofficial kickoff to a new riding season, so we had boots on the ground from opening day (Feb. 28) through the final weekend (Mar. 9).
Main Street in Daytona is the place to see and be seen.
There were countless things to do and see, and we took in as many as we could, from Main Street nightlife to scenic cruises through Ormond Beach – and actually on Daytona Beach. We also checked out cool bike shows, browsed hundreds of vendors, took a few demo rides, and witnessed thrilling racing action at the Speedway.
Our journey to Bike Week started in Alabama, where we hopped on a 50th anniversary Honda Gold Wing for a few laps of Barber Motorsports Park before making the trek to Florida, arriving on the first day of Bike Week.
Main Street in Daytona is a colorful show of motorcycles and colorful characters. Don’t bother going there if you prefer peace and serenity.
No trip to Daytona would be complete without a ride down Main Street, which intersects Florida’s eastern coastline and is restricted to only motorcycles – no cars allowed during Bike Week. It’s a hubbub of activity, with riders slowly parading by on a variety of bikes. Most are Harley-Davidsons, from bone-stock to outrageously radical customs, but there are also many bikes that aren’t American V-Twins, from Triumphs to Ducatis, and from Kawasakis to KTMs and BMWs.
Yamahas, a Kawasaki, and a BMW share Main Street with Harley baggers.
Our first weekend in Daytona coincided with the AMA Supercross races held at the Speedway, and Honda gave us special access to the event, which included the cool experience of walking the gnarly track before the racing began. Veteran rider and fan-favorite Ken Roczen made a dramatic charge halfway through the race to win the 450 class on his Suzuki, a performance he described as one of his best wins ever.
The Speedway is often shunned by traditional Bike Week attendees, but it’s growing as a hub of activity, with a gigantic vendor area and the opportunity for demo rides from almost every major manufacturer.
This character was spotted at Giuseppe’s Steel City Pizza bike show rolling on a Honda Monkey with a big-bore kit and a braced aluminum swingarm. Bonus points for riding with half a leg!
Honda had a large footprint, which included a display that highlighted the 50th anniversary of the Gold Wing, featuring an example of every generation since its 1975 debut as the GL1000. Next to Honda was the Michelin booth, where we had our photo taken with “Bib” the Michelin Man, checked out the new Michelin Road W GT tires, and browsed its lineup of tires, including the Michelin Commander III Cruiser and Michelin Commander III Touring tires.
Did you know that more than 1 million new Harleys have left the production line on Michelin tires? Neither did we, but we do now. More trivia: The Michelin Man character is named Bib, short for bibendum, which is from a Latin phrase for “now is the time to drink,” as in “drink up” the bumps in the road. Bib is white because he was created before tires were treated with carbon black.
Harley’s activation zone was particularly massive and included areas for bike shows and stunt exhibitions. We watched an incredible performance by the Eastcoastin Enterprises stunt team, and we checked out a couple of bike shows hosted by our friends at V-Twin Visionary, including a bagger show and a performance-themed bike show.
If you see a bike show promoted by V-Twin Visionary, it’s probably going to be a good one.
This turbocharged Softail was built as a tribute to NHL goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, who backstopped the Florida Panthers to help win the 2024 Stanley Cup.
Back at the Speedway, we saw the public debut of H-D’s most expensive motorcycle ever, the CVO Road Glide RR. It’s a street replica of Harley’s awesome King Of The Baggers racebike, boasting a 131ci 150-hp V-Twin with superbike-spec suspension and brakes, plus an intricate aluminum swingarm machined from a 220-lb block down to only 18 lb. Check your couch cushions for spare change, as you’ll need $110,000 to buy the RR!

In nearby Ormond Beach, we dove into Teddy Morse’s Destination Daytona, which has an enormous vendor area next to the Daytona Harley-Davidson dealership. It had nearly anything a biker could want, from apparel to audio systems to seats and handlebars. There was so much to see that you could burn most of a day there and not see it all.

As the second week wound down, the racing action gathered steam. Fans of bar-banging dirt-track action were entertained at American Flat Track’s season-opening double-header at the Daytona Short Track, held Mar. 6-7. Dallas Daniels scored a pair of wins on his Yamaha MT-07, but he had to fight hard to beat Briar Bauman on his Harley XG750R.
This lady and her farkled Indian garnered a lot of attention, earning extra style points for her pooch riding on the back seat.
Racing on asphalt took place inside the Speedway on Mar. 7-8, with spectator attention split between the historic Daytona 200 race and the awesomeness of the high-powered King Of The Baggers class. In the 200, Josh Herrin rewrote history by becoming the first rider ever to achieve three consecutive wins aboard a Ducati Panigale V2.
Harley-Davidson’s King Of The Baggers Road Glides were clocked at 183 mph at Daytona without the aid of a slipstreaming draft. Factory rider James Rispoli showed competitive speed at Daytona, but he crashed out of both races at the Speedway. His teammate, Kyle Wyman, was the double-winner.
In the Bagger races, Harley-mounted Kyle Wyman scored a pair of wins on his Road Glide, but he didn’t have an easy time of it. Saturday’s race was won by only 0.056 second over reigning champ Troy Herfoss and his Indian Challenger.
H-D’s Kyle Wyman twice stood atop the KOTB podium at Daytona. Indian Motorcycle riders Troy Herfoss and Loris Baz completed the podium in Race 2.
Adding some Hollywood luster was superstar actor Keanu Reeves, who was in the pits to support his Arch Motorcycle racing team, which debuted an all-new bike at the track to compete in the packed Super Hooligan class.
The Arch 2S is powered by a 2-liter air/oil-cooled engine developed with Suter Racing, and Arch says a street version will be available next year. The 2S suffered teething problems in qualifying and the first race, but racer Corey Alexander did well to finish a creditable 7th in Race 2.
Emmy-winning producer Simon Hammerson (left) smiles with actor Keanu Reeves at Daytona Speedway. Reeves is the co-founder of Arch Motorcycle along with technical maestro Gard Hollinger, and they were supporting Arch Motorcycle’s entry into the Super Hooligan class with the all-new Arch 2S.
As we reflect back on Bike Week, it’s the diversity of experiences that make the event truly special. The rolling bike show on Main Street seems worlds away from the physics-defying roadracing at 180 mph. Graybeards ride with Millennials, Gixxers ride with Boss Hosses, and BMWs mix with trikes.
Baggers are the most prevalent motorcycles seen at Bike Week. And, yep, Florida doesn’t care if you ride without a helmet or park on the sidewalk.
If you’ve never experienced Daytona Bike Week, it should be added to your punch-card – there’s nothing else like it. All it’s missing are nearby twisty roads, but Florida makes up for it by allowing motorcycles to ride on the beach!
All brands are welcome at Bike Week. Here we see a Yamaha FJR1300, a Honda CBX, and a Ducati Panigale sprinkled among Harleys.
As part of EAGLERIDER’s brand evolution, the company has added Harley-Davidson CVO Street Glides to its rental fleet, among other new experiences.

Our road to Daytona Bike Week 2025 started in Birmingham, Alabama, where Honda hosted a group of motojournalists to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Honda Gold Wing. It culminated 700 miles later on Main Street in Daytona Beach, Florida. We’ve enjoyed racing, bike shows, riding on the beach, and much more. Here are a few highlights of the week so far.
After getting a tour of the incomparable Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum, we got to ride laps on a first-year 1975 Honda GL1000 Gold Wing and a current-year 2025 Honda 50th Anniversary Gold Wing Tour DCT on the Barber Motorsports Park track. Clearly the Gold Wing has come a long way over the past five decades, but riding the GL1000 really gave a sense of the Gold Wing’s fundamental DNA – the smoothness of its flat engine, the steadiness of its handling, and the comfort of its seating position.

The next day, we saddled up on a small fleet of 50th Anniversary Gold Wings – the standard “bagger” model and the trunk-equipped Tour model, both 6-speed manual-transmission and 7-speed automatic Dual Clutch Transmission versions. We spent a day riding south through Alabama on country roads, stopping for lunch in Troy. Late in the day, we crossed into Florida, rode through the Apalachicola National Forest, and spent the night at the Gibson Inn in Apalachicola.

We rose early and did photo passes on U.S. Route 98 on the edge of St. George Sound. We then followed U.S. 98 along the coast, crossed Ochlockonee Bay, and then cruised through flat woodlands along Florida’s gulf coast. After lunch in Ocala, we found a few twisties (sort of) through the Seminole State Forest on our way to Daytona Beach.

As the sun was setting, we rolled down International Speedway Boulevard on Friday, September 28, the first day of Bike Week. We crossed the Intercoastal Waterway on the Main Street Bridge and rolled through the raucous pandemonium of Main Street on a Friday night, which was restricted to motorcycle traffic only and was awash in sights, very loud sounds of audio systems, and tons of folks enjoying the scene.
We’ve arrived in Daytona!
On Saturday, we went to Daytona International Speedway, where motorcycle manufacturers have demo rides and vendors have booths and tents set up. Honda had an enormous activation to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Gold Wing, including one example of every model generation: GL1000, GL1100, GL1200, GL1500, GL1800 SC47 (2001-2017), and GL1800 SC79 (2018-2025).

Lee Edmunds, a former advertising director American Honda, and Matthew Miles, a former editor at Cycle World, gave us a history lesson about the Gold Wing. Edmunds and Miles were instrumental in compiling a book about the history of the Gold Wing that will be given as a gift to all customers who buy a 50th Anniversary Gold Wing. The book includes chapters by former Rider staffers Mark Tuttle and Jamie Elvidge.

Next to the Honda activation our friends at Michelin had a booth set up with a 2024 Honda Gold Wing with new Michelin Road W GT tires. We checked out the Michelin Commander III cruiser and touring tires, and we had our photo taken with “Bib” the Michelin Man.
We spent the afternoon inside the Speedway. We got a behind-the-scenes tour of Honda’s Supercross race trucks and pit garage, where we met team rider Chance Hymas. We did a track walk of the Supercross course that was designed by Ricky Carmicheal and included a sand section with sand taken from Daytona Beach. We ended the day watching the Supercross races, where Suzuki rider Ken Roczen came from behind for a dramatic win in the 450 class.

On Sunday morning, in front of the Hard Rock Hotel, we see and hear an impressive performance bagger owned by @FatAndFuriousOne. The bike was dripping with carbon fiber, billet aluminum, performance mods, and top-shelf components, and it was shod with Michelin Commander II tires. We shot a reel of the bike, which got a lot of attention on Instagram.
This high-dollar custom performance bagger is owned by @FatAndFuriousOne.
We cruised down Main Street in the morning. The shops and bars were still closed and a few early risers were claiming parking spaces ahead of the crowds. Then we headed over to the Speedway to check out some new and custom bikes at the huge Harley-Davidson display area, and to stroll through the V-Twin Visionary Presents the Rockford Fosgate All Out Bagger Show.

We can never get enough of the custom bike scene. On Monday, we went back to the Speedway for the V-Twin Visionary Performance & Club Style Motorcycle Show. Then we rode a 2025 Harley-Davidson Low Rider S with Michelin Scorcher tires down to Ormond Beach for a break from the crowds.
There’s nothing quite like riding a motorcycle on Daytona Beach!
It rained on Tuesday, but we didn’t let that dampen our spirits. We took our Low Rider S loaner and a 2024 Honda Gold Wing with Michelin Road W GT tires for a ride down a deserted Main Street and onto the hard-packed sand of Daytona Beach where they used to race bikes years ago.
We didn’t let the rain stop us from a ride on the beach.
We rode down to Port Orange for lunch at Giuseppe’s Steel City Pizza, which hosted the Traditional Chopper bike show with a great selection of custom bikes, ranging from long-fork choppers to road-weary vintage machines.
There was a lot to see at the Traditional Chopper show at Giuseppe’s Steel City Pizza.
There’s more to come from our Daytona Bike Week 2025 experience, so stay tuned!
