One of the things I learned when I switched over to a Wordpress blog is that there really isn’t much of a selection of explicitly motorcycle-themed Wordpress skins available. There’s about, uh, four I think, that I found online.
Well, now, I’ve more than doubled that number.
I’ve created a series of free Wordpress themes for motorcycle blogs, and have tried to take care of both the sportbike guys, and the cruiser guys. All of the themes are 2.7 compatible, and widget-ready. There are no links to third-party sponsors or anything. Though there is a link to me, and it would be nice of you to keep it.
Also, be advised that any of these themes can also be done for Blogger users as well. If you like the theme, and want to use it for Blogger, let me know.
Just click on the screenshot previews below to download the ZIP file containing the theme.
FIREBLADE
Fireblade Wordpress Theme
This theme’s colors are predominantly red and gray, with a stylized pic of a CBR1000RR as the header image.
BIG GREEN

Kawasaki’s traditional color is green. A very bright, irritating green. But some people seem to like it so here it is, with the ZX-10R as the header.
R1

This one is very blue. It’s headed by a detail shot of a Yamaha R1.
MONOCHROME
This one is done completely in grayscale–no color at all.
KNEESLIDER
Motorcycle racing is the theme of this template. It’s all done in Buff and Blue. I think It’s a classy theme.
BLUE RACER
Blue Racer is a light-colored blue theme, with a racing bike header.
HOG ORANGE
I certainly wouldn’t want to leave the cruiser guys out of the party. It’s a dark, grungy theme, in the orange and black colors that are traditionally associated with a certain motorcycle manufacturer.
BURNOUT
Burnout is a sportbike theme, with a nice pic of a ZX-14 tearing up the asphalt. And its tires.
SEPIA CRUISER
This one is a very neutral-colored, sepia-toned theme. Front and center is the image of the Tachometer of my Sportster. So, if you don’t ride a Harley, well, you might want to find another image to use as the header pic that doesn’t have a big ol’ bar and shield on it.
Like, maybe, this version, which is less Harley-centric.
HIGH SPEED
High speed is done in dark steel blues, topped by a ‘busa screaming down the highway.
SPORT TOURING
Sport Touring is square. The theme is square, I mean. Not a curve on it, and patterned squares are a central motif of this theme. As is the FJR1300 in the header (with all badges removed, for, uh genericizing it). Warm earth tones make this a soothing theme, in contrast to the sharp edges of the design elements.
So, I hope you like the efforts above, and find them useful if you have a blog.
