 2010 Literbike Shootout: Aprilia RSV4 Factory vs. Ducati 1198S vs. KTM RC8R |
|
Jan 04, 2010 - 10:37 AM - by administrator
|
Another year, a bigger battle.
With BMW's S1000RR and KTM's updated and new-to-the-U.S. RC8R as an all-new model, the field of liter-ish superbikes expands considerably for 2010.
Apologies to MV Agusta for not counting the 2010 F4, but no one's yet signed up to race it in a large-scale series – the KTM was the runner-up in the 2009 IDM (International German Superbike Championship). We sure wouldn't mind a spin on the MV, though. (Hint, hint, MV Agusta.)
Like the race grid, we'll now expand the roster of contestants in our annual liter test.
No longer limiting the battle to the Big Four from Japan, we'll eventually include the BMW S1000RR on the list of participants powered by the popular inline-Four configuration. But for now, to start off what has become a literbike mêlée,... [Read More]

2010 Aprilia RSV4 Factory Review |
|
Dec 11, 2009 - 1:20 PM - by administrator
|
Every couple of years or so a bike manufacturer will come up with a machine that rattles opponent's cages and gets sportbike fans in a buying – or dreaming of buying – frenzy.
Remember the excitement over the first generation Yamaha R6 and R1? And just this year Yamaha got mouths salivating again with an all-new R1 and its MotoGP-derived cross-plane crank.
With icons such as the 916, the Monster line, and more recently the 1098 and 1198 superbikes, Ducati has a history of generating bike envy amongst enthusiast friends, while at the same time confounding competitors.
BMW has been in the moto media spotlight since announcing the S1000RR way back in April 2008. Kevin "Frequent Flyer Miles" Duke recently rode the new Beemer in Portimao, Portugal, and came away highly impressed with the... [Read More]

Best of 2009 - Motorcycles of the Year |
|
Aug 25, 2009 - 1:44 PM - by administrator
|
While we enjoy ripping on substandard motorcycles, crappy bikes are hard to find these days. Take a look at any of our comparison tests from the last couple of years and you'll find only marginal differences between our declared winners and their competitors.
With so much high-quality product to choose from, culling the field down into our Best Of winners was an arduous task. But that didn't stop us from coming up with our favorite stuff from the class of '09! Introducing the first-annual Motorcycle.com Best Of awards. And the MoBo goes to...

2009 Aprilia Mana Review |
|
May 01, 2009 - 4:42 PM - by administrator
|
There's a good chance a few folks out there have heard little or next to nothing about the Aprilia Mana 850, introduced in July 2008. The Mana is something of a revolutionary motorcycle, and like all revolutions, there is, or will be, those for and those against the cause.
The old guard in motorcycling, upon hearing of this new machine for a new age, may scoff and sneer, saying, "It's not really a motorcycle!" And a fresh generation of riders embracing two wheels for the first time will retort with, "It is so a motorcycle, old man!" Indeed, those shouting "old man" might just be old men themselves, as many re-entry riders comprise a portion of today's motorcycling masses.
What is it about this new Aprilia that might create such a dust-up? The Mana 850 is a fully automatic... [Read More]

May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, so we thought we'd get share some advice on safe riding.
Motorcyclists know how much skill is required in riding. You have to be aware of your bike, the road, the traffic around you, and most importantly, yourself, when you get behind the handlebars.
But even the safest, most experienced riders can still make mistakes. That’s why we’re presenting a series of articles on motorcycle safety, because you can never be too safe.
Rider Education, Injuries and Fatalities
Time for a reality check Whether you have decades of experience or are a newbie, it pays to realistically size up this activity called "riding a ... [Read More]

2010 Honda CBR1000RR C-ABS Review
Honda's CBR1000RR is one of two liter bikes from the Big Four to receive only minor updates for '10. Despite no big news, riding around on the C-ABS-equipped machine reinforced why we like the CBR so much in the first place.
