The Motorcycle Riders Keep Even After Buying Something Newer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There's a familiar arc to owning motorcycles. You start small and eventually trade up to a bigger engine, more electronics, something that finally matches the rider you've become. Old bikes get listed, sold, handed off to whoever's just starting out. It's a natural cycle, and most riders go through it more than once, chasing whatever comes next until the last bike stops feeling like enough. Except for one bike. It sits in the corner through every upgrade, every garage clean-out, every round of "
The Motorcycle That Can Do Almost Everything Without Being Boring (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Different days of the week ask different things of motorcycle riders. Mondays can be a slog through stop-and-go traffic where a light clutch and an engine that does its best work at the lower end of the rev range are all that matter. The script flips on a Saturday as you lean the bike hard and get greedy with the throttle on your favorite twisty road. And Sundays are about packed panniers, a tank that calls the road (and not the gas station) its home, and a seating position that you can hold com

The Adventure Bike That Feels Just As Comfortable In The City As On The Highway (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you have ever lived with an adventure bike, then you know the crossroads. The motorcycle can feel great while riding on the highway on a Saturday, but it turns into a chore riding it to the office on a Monday morning as it gets all top-heavy and twitchy between stoplights. That long-travel suspension suddenly starts feeling jittery over potholes. On the contrary, if your adventure motorcycle is tuned for outright comfort, then it works great in traffic. But on the highway on-ramp at pace, it
The Motorcycle That Makes You Forget About Riding Fast (opens the original)
Read excerpt
New motorcycles broadly aim to make their mark on the same scoreboard: a 0-60 time, a horsepower figure, ride modes, and a promise that the motorcycle is ‘smarter’. Manufacturers lean on these quantitative differences as they are easier to compare, and that has quietly made “better” the shorthand for “faster”.
