» 2009 Literbike Shootout |

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.

Now, a little more than 10 years later, I’m again in the seat of the best literbike Honda has yet crafted. Compared to the RR I rode in '98, it weighs less and has nearly 50 additional horses.
Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca was the estimable location this time around, and my day lapping the historic NorCal circuit proved this... [Read More]

How Well Do You Know Your Motorcycle?
Getting to know your bike as well as you can still makes a lot of sense. Learning how things work and what systems or components need the most attention will at least reduce your bike's chances of a premature failure and could also prevent a crash.

2008 Benelli Tre1130K Review
For some riders it's not enough to ride just any bike. The cookie-cutter sportbike or sport-tourer no longer satisfies. Can't bankroll a Confederate Hellcat and still want a modicum of comfort and utility? We may have your ticket: the Tre1130K.
