» 2009 Literbike Shootout |

Apr 27, 2009 - 10:14 AM - by admin

It's been nearly 12 years since I began working as a full-time motojournalist, and I get wistful for those simpler days. Back then, the literbikes (CBR900RR, ZX-9R, GSX-R1100 and YZF1000) were separated by nearly 100 pounds of weight and huge power disparities, and ergonomics ranged from racetrack refugee to something we now call sport-tour-y. Even a neophyte motojourno could pick a clear winner.
But today, we're stuck in a world of finely honed and fully featured literbikes whose level of diversity is amazingly insignificant. They all haul ass around a racetrack, chassis geometry distinctions are measured in fractions, and peak horsepower differs only by about 5%.

MotoGP: 2009 Valencia Preview
If I'm one of the 18 or so racetracks on the planet that compete to host MotoGP races, I think I'd try NOT to get scheduled for the last week of the season. Nine years out of ten, it's not going to be decisive, memorable or even competitive.

2009 Triumph Sprint ST Review
Triumph's Sprint ST was last updated in '05. Yet tractable power, rock-solid handling, unmistakable exhaust note, long day ergos and British heritage still best characterize the ST. It's an old man of the s-t group, but the ST is still a player.

2010 Zero MX Review
Compared to the basic X model, the new Zero MX features a sturdier shock and fork, bigger tires on wider rims, and stronger hubs. Those changes make it about 10 pounds heavier and give it much-improved moto capability.

Paul Teutel Sr. Presents OCC Rocks
We recently came across a copy of OCC Rocks, a musical compilation put together by the folks at Orange County Choppers and featuring four songs from the OCC Band. The rest of CD is made up of familiar songs and artists, largely from the 1970s.
