The 58-MPH Dirt Bike That TRIGGERED A Government Ban (And 8 Others That Almost DId)

From a Spanish two-stroke that testers said almost nobody could tame to an electric bike category now being seized and destroyed under new Australian laws, these are 9 dirt bikes that became infamous for very different reasons. Some earned their reputation the hard way on the track, decades before anyone filed a recall. Some are current-model bikes recalled by name in 2025 and 2026 for genuine safety defects. And one of them—the Sur-Ron and Talaria electric dirt bikes—has become the center of a real legal fight over what counts as a bicycle versus a motorcycle, leading to seized fleets and tragic fatalities. Which one surprised you most? Tell us in the comments! If you've ridden a Bultaco Pursang, fought a Big Red Pig's kickstarter, or have a Sur-Ron story of your own, we want to hear it. --- **Gear mentioned in this video:** * Fox Racing Airframe Pro Chest Guard: https://amzn.to/3UbYOi7, https://amzn.to/4rQc7kA * Mobius X8 Knee Braces (pair): https://amzn.to/4APvNt0 * Leatt GPX 3.5 Neck Brace: https://amzn.to/4i68CTV (As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
