On Two Wheels: Video Series

The best motorcycle video series on the internet!

The On Two Wheels video series is here to celebrate riding motorcycles and all the fun it brings. From cruisers to dirt bikes to sportbikes and everything in between, OTW is serious about understanding and sharing motorcycles and all the adventure they bring, but never forgets to have a good time. Join host Evan Allen on his never ending quest to discover news things On Two Wheels.

Evan Allen

Evan Allen grew up in Southern California under the heavy influence of motorcycles, surfing, and action sports. He began his motorcycle testing career riding and writing for Dirt Rider and soon after began contributing to Motorcyclist and Cycle World in words and video. In his role as associate editor, Evan loves riding and testing everything with two wheels from motocross to street to dirt track and has been known to wheelie once in a while. He also probably holds the record for longest jump on an XR650L (see OTW episode 2!).


Evan is a huge fan of learning more about motorcycles and riding, so we keep sending him out to try things On Two Wheels (see what we did there?!) he’s never done before–from food delivery to riding a 200-hp superbike at a racetrack.

I Tested Every Level of Sportbike


Does a faster, more expensive sportbike actually make you a faster rider? In this episode of On Two Wheels, we put that question to the test.


At Buttonwillow Raceway, Evan takes on three different levels of sportbike performance, starting with an entry-level machine and working all the way up to a full-blown superbike. With help from MotoAmerica racer Michael Gilbert coaching him through Cardo communication, Evan sets timed laps on each bike to see how speed, confidence, and cost really stack up.


Michael also sets his own lap times on each bike, giving us a clear look at how a pro rider uses performance compared to an average track-day rider. The result is not just a comparison of lap times, but a deeper look at skill, usability, and whether horsepower actually delivers real-world speed.


This episode is not about which bike is “best.” It’s about learning what actually makes riders faster, where money helps, and where it doesn’t.

Delivering Food to Pay for a Motorcycle!


Can you really turn your motorcycle into a money-making machine? In this episode of On Two Wheels, we put the Honda Trail 125 to the test as a food delivery bike to see if it’s possible to pay off a motorcycle through delivery apps like DoorDash and Uber Eats. With its low price, incredible fuel economy, and easy-to-ride design, the Trail 125 seems like the perfect budget-friendly platform for a side hustle. But how much money can you actually make, and does it really make sense? Join Evan as he gears up, builds the ultimate delivery setup, and finds out whether you can get paid to ride, or if this will end up being a dead-end job.
