 2009 Aprilia Mana Review |
|
May 01, 2009 - 3:42 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]

Motorcycle Safety Tips |
|
May 01, 2009 - 3:38 PM - by administrator

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.

2009 Streetfighters Shootout: Aprilia Tuono 1000R, Buell 1125CR, Triumph Speed Triple |
|
Jan 13, 2009 - 1:31 PM - by administrator
|
For reasons we here at Motorcycle.com don't quite understand, American motorcycle enthusiasts don't give naked and standard bikes the love they deserve. A harsh example of this reality is how Kawasaki Motors Corp., USA, after only one model year following the first revision of the Z1000, has dropped that bike from its 2009 US street model line-up. Naked and standards just don't do that well in US sales, and that's a darn shame! Don't you people know what you're missing?
More than enough power and abundant useable torque coupled with an open and upright rider triangle are the underlying traits of naked, or "streetfighter" machines. These sportbike-derived scoots offer the same great handling, braking and overall performance that their racer-type brethren do, but in an everyday, usable package.[Read More]

2008 Aprilia SXV 5.5 Review |
|
Dec 18, 2008 - 1:51 PM - by administrator

The Aprilia SXV 5.5 is uncomfortable, impractical and could be the silliest way to spend nearly $10K. And we love it!
If you're considering an SXV, you won't be much concerned with practicality. Nor should you. This is one of the most grin-inducing scoots available at any price, giving it a stratospheric score in the desirability index.
Those who have been following the emerging supermoto class are already familiar with the category's roots - basically fitting street-biased tires and larger brakes to a dirtbike and cutting down the springs to reduce chassis pitch. Big fun, especially for those who cut their motorcycle teeth riding off-road bikes.

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.
