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 Literbike Shootout
Apr 27, 2009 - 6:16 AM - by admin


It's been nearly 12 years since I began working as a full-time motojournalist, and I get wistful for those simpler days. Back then, the literbikes (CBR900RR, ZX-9R, GSX-R1100 and YZF1000) were separated by nearly 100 pounds of weight and huge power disparities, and ergonomics ranged from racetrack refugee to something we now call sport-tour-y. Even a neophyte motojourno could pick a clear winner.

But today, we're stuck in a world of finely honed and fully featured literbikes whose level of diversity is amazingly insignificant. They all haul ass around a racetrack,... [Read More]

» Another reason I will buy my stuff online from now on..
Nov 09, 2008 - 4:58 PM - by stinky93071
So back in mid Sept. I went into a somewhat local bike gear place to get some brake pads, No big deal right???

So I looked online and I could get them for about $25 each, but I thought I would do my part to support the local shops. So I go in and they only had one set but would get the other set in about a week. (They were also $7 more each) but no big deal I had always felt like they did me right when I was in there so I was willing to wait and pay the extra.

Three weeks later, 3 phone calls and I still do not have the pads. So a little frustrated I make the drive (just over 50 miles one way) and ask what’s going on with them, the guy tells me oh ya we have them we didn’t know who’s they were. Hands them to... [Read More]

Let's try this again. Say something nice and move on. If someone uses this as a place to bitch then I'll just delete the whole thread and we'll try it again until we get it right.

» 2009 Kawasaki ZX-6R Review
Nov 07, 2008 - 6:47 AM - by admin


In sportbike comparison, only the finest of lines separate a winner from an also-ran. The epitome of these indistinct distinctions surely must reside in the ultra-competitive four-cylinder 600cc class. In our 2008 Supersport Shootout, the Honda CBR stood at the head of the class for its light weight and mondo-midrange motor, while the Gixxer Suzuki finished close behind for its nearly complete lack of foibles. Yamaha's R6 excelled at the track. Meanwhile, the ZX-6R took class-leading votes in the more humble categories of brake and slipper-clutch performance and was let down by an... [Read More]
