Motorcycle Ratings and Reviews
Actually, “reinvents” probably is an overstatement; 95 percent of this motorcycle, the new-for-2013 F6B, has been in existence for well over a decade. “Redefines” might be a better word. That’s because the 5 percent that’s no longer there has made a world of difference, and not just in the bike’s [...]
A good friend once told me he liked to have his finger hovering over the proverbial eject button in life, even though he never had any intention of using it. The feeling it conveyed to him was, of course, that he could chuck it all at any time and somehow [...]
KTM is on a mission to capture more of the American motocross market–and it’s succeeding. Running on the philosophy that change sells, KTM has completely reworked its motocross line-up for 2013. That means new-generation models such as the 250, 350 and 450 SX-F. It’s nice not having to wait four [...]
Valencia, Spain—I fear I may be slipping behind the technology curve of late. As the last Cycle World staffer to trade in my company-issued Blackberry for an iPhone, I’m just now getting a handle on this whole Facebook thing. Perhaps certain traits of my father have begun to manifest with [...]
Los Angeles provided a picture-perfect backdrop for BMW to introduce its 2013 C650GT and C600 Sport “Urban Mobility Vehicles” to the U.S. media. Not only does the sprawling Southland with its 12-million- plus inhabitants qualify as a “megacity,” California is the only state in the union that allows lane-splitting. Plus, [...]
Cartagena, Spain—Having been on the job and in the saddle for the turn-of-the-century debut of the Triumph TT600, I can appreciate just how far the Hinckley, England-based firm has progressed since its inaugural foray into the highly competitive middleweight supersport class. The inline-Four TT and Daytona 600 that followed have [...]
Motorcycles intended for racing always get better in their second year of production. The KX450F, which received a new frame and a high-tech electronics package last year, is a prime example. For 2013, Kawasaki has refined the power delivery and improved the handling to help give the KX an edge [...]
Las Vegas—Fresh on the heels of disturbing news that American Suzuki had shut down its automotive division, I found myself in Sin City for the unveiling of a couple new-for-2013 Suzuki motorcycles. Prior to the event, American Suzuki had told us that its commitment to motorcycles is growing, a statement [...]
To face the challenge posed by the current worldwide economic crisis, Honda has developed a flexible design plan that creates two families of models: the NC700S/NC700X duo and new Integra maxi-scooter. In our November issue, we tested the urban/touring-crossover NC700X, the most-spirited and better-selling of the two bikes in Europe. [...]
The California is back, and Moto Guzzi with it. When I first saw the new California 1400 in photos, I thought the bike was competently styled. When I saw it in person at the Milan motorcycle show, I found that Miguel Galluzzi’s styling is absolutely beautiful. Riding the California in [...]
