About Us

MotoTorch is an independent motorcycle publication built by riders, for riders. No PR fluff, no manufacturer bias — just honest writing about the machines and culture we love.

Ride. Read.
Ignite.

MotoTorch was founded in 2024 by a group of riders who were tired of motorcycle media that read like press releases. We wanted something raw, specific, and useful — writing that respects the intelligence of people who actually turn wrenches and put miles on bikes.

We cover everything: the latest industry news, deep-dive technical how-tos, route reports from across the country, and long-form features on the builders and riders shaping the culture. If it matters to people who live for the machine, it matters to us.

We are editorially independent. We don't take manufacturer advertising. We pay for the bikes we test. We say what we think.
