Located near the southern shore of Utah’s Great Salt Lake, Miller Motorsports Park is one of America’s premier roadrace venues. MMP offers multiple course configurations ranging from a lengthy, 4.5-mile Full Course to a 3.08-mile Perimeter Course or, when spit in half, comprises two distinctly different 2.2-mile circuits, aptly named the East Course and West [...]

Not part of the proletariate? Or just so addicted to the upper echelon of performance motorcycles that you’ll spend whatever it takes to have the finest in moto exotica? Then you’ve come to the right place. The group we gathered for our all-out track attack on Miller Motorsports Park’s West Course covers a range of [...]

On the street, these nine superbikes are like caged animals, which is exactly why we took them to Miller Motorsports Park to feed. At a world-class racing venue, you can unlock their pens and let their predatory instincts take over. The reality, however, is that most people who purchase one of these potent machines will [...]

MV Agusta CEO Massimo Bordi laid down a sequence of charts during his presentation about the new Brutale 675 middleweight naked bike to confirm that these times of crisis represent a great opportunity for a competitively priced, three-cylinder roadster to be successful.

They’re outcasts, the motorcycle industry’s dirty little secrets. Despite their niche popularity in the U.S, they make up only a tiny portion of new-unit sales, and yet to those in the know, they represent some of the most potent and entertaining motorcycles made.

Well, it’s a lot to pack into a couple of discs, isn’t it? Which is why these two run over four hours, with the lion’s share of that packed onto Disc 1 and divided into eight chapters, from “The Pioneers, 1907-1914,” to “The 120-mph Years, 1990-2006.” Cameras were there from the start, and if you [...]

Nothing against golf, but lush green lawns look significantly better decorated with fantastic machinery than by a bunch of white plastic balls.

In addition to their great contributions to the development of the new 675 F3, HRT engineers Ezio and Maurizio Mascheroni and Enrico Sironi created a perfect copy of Giacomo Agostini’s world-title-winning three-cylinder GP 500. Every detail is perfect because Sironi was a member of the legendary MV Agusta technical team and still has copies of all the original [...]

I’ve been fortunate to have had conversations over the years with some of roadracing’s top builders. At Talladega in 1974, all of the factory Yamaha TZ750As were violently unstable in Friday practice; I saw Don Castro’s bike throw his boots right off the footpegs as he passed start/finish on the superspeedway. On Saturday morning, Kel [...]

There are some things that we take for granted with most modern motorcycles. I say most, because I’m still completely flabbergasted when I come across something as infuriating as, say, the dash on our MV Agusta Brutale RR 1090 testbike. How is it possible that a completely modern sportbike’s electronics-package interface is so ridiculously complex [...]
