Yamaha Super Tenere – Long-Term Test Update #3 No more buffeting!

Our Super Ténéré is already approaching 14,000 miles (well past the planned 10,000), a clear indication that mileage comes easy on this popular adventure-tourer. Constantly in motion as a commuter, weekend explorer and photo-chase bike, the big Yamaha has burned through another set of tires. Avon’s Distanzias lasted 7300 miles [...]

Honda NC700XD ABS – Long-Term Test Update #1 Practically extravagant.

We know what you’re thinking: How could the as-tested price of Cycle World’s long-term 2012 NC700X be $11,633? After all, when this middleweight parallel-Twin made its stateside debut last year, MSRP for the manual-transmission model was just $6999 (add $500 for a ’13). Actually, reaching that astronomical, relatively speaking, figure [...]

Kawasaki ZX-14R – Long-Term Test Update #2 Brake dancer.

We handed off our sparkly green ZX-14R to Contributing Editor Nick Ienatsch following the Ninja’s scheduled 7500-mile service. Our local dealer charged $90.69 for oil, filter and sparkplugs, tacking on another $255 in labor. Suppose we got off easy since the valve-clearance inspection is at 15,000-mile intervals. A hint of [...]

Honda CBR250R ABS – Long-Term Test Update #2 Quick, shift!

Honda’s CBR250R may be the favored staff errand-runner, but since our last update, it’s also been to another rev-limiter-bumping track day, as well as serving on several long road trips. We added a few items to help it perform better in these varied uses. No secret its 250cc Single, while [...]
