There is no shortage of ideas at Husqvarna these days. Just look at all the concept models the Italian-based, BMW-owned company has released over the last few years. Some of them, like the Nuda 900 naked sportbike, have already gone into production (a bike which, sadly, isn’t yet sold in [...]
How much longer could Honda ignore this category in the U.S. market? The answer is: no longer. Yes, with adventure bikes grabbing increasing sales and the category itself constantly broadening to include a wider variety of machines, Honda has finally jumped back into the stateside fray after a longtime absence. [...]
Leaving no marketing stone unturned in its zealous mission to close the cruiser gap, Victory’s latest is the 2013 Judge, available in Suede Nuclear Sunset (orange) and wearing five-spoke wheels that actually do conjure up Pontiac’s famed special-edition GTO of the same name. Teasing wildly and throwing off the veils [...]
Photography by Brian J. Nelson What did you expect would happen if you left a roomful of Rotax engineers and motorcycle/snowmobile nuts cooped up for a few winters in Canada? The Can-Am Spyder, now entering its fifth year of production, is simply another example of mechanical evolution at work. When [...]
Husqvarna is under pressure from parent company BMW to define its role in the market and introduce a new line of models.

High-end Italian speedshop NCR is definitely one of motorcycling’s “biggest losers.” With its new M4 (pictured) tipping the scale at a scant 286 pounds, and the M4 One Shot reading 8 pounds less than that, NCR has proven once again that it knows how to put Ducatis on a diet. [...]

Photography by Jeff Allen When Akrapovic wanted to do something special to announce its arrival in the custom exhaust marketplace (read: Harley-Davidson), it did what it’s good at and built something special using the materials it’s known for. Thus, the Morsus is a study intitanium, stainless steel and carbon fiber. [...]
At EICMA, Pirelli celebrated the 10th anniversary of the birth of its Diablo high-performance radial tire. The Diablo received a mighty boost in 2004 when it was selected as the spec tire for the Superbike World Championship series. Pirelli seized the opportunity and has accumulated enormous development experience as a [...]
Brembo was a headliner at EICMA for many reasons, including having developed the braking system for the motorcycle voted “Most Beautiful Bike of Show” by the 13,800 attendees: the Ducati 1199 Panigale. For the Panigale, Brembo supplied the M50, a Monobloc front brake caliper that is said to be more [...]
