Clean Sheet Brutale

Riding the prototype promises a more refined and accessible customer version. Mind-Blowing! That’s the expression that the marketing mob at MV Agusta has designated as the one they’d like to pass...

The Classic Bobber

What you see is what you get, and then some. At first glance, the 2025 Harley-Davidson Street Bob test bike I’m about to mount really piques my interest. Adorned in a bright yellow finish (which...

Contemporary Cool

A confidence-inspiring bike for new riders but entertaining enough for the experienced rider. In 2022, to better align the Street Twin with its bigger, sportier brother, the Speed Twin 1200, Triumph...

Striking A Balance

Spanning the gap between classic styling, and modern performance and handling. In 2019, I went to Mallorca to ride the then newly introduced Speed Twin. It was added to the Bonneville lineup to...

This Hooligan Gets An Upgrade

It can cruise around town, but it prefers to assault back roads with technical aggression. Thirty years ago, KTM introduced the first Duke model. Supermotard, now known as Supermoto, was relatively...

Built for Real-World Use

Both models of Scrambler 1200 shine no matter where you point the front wheel. The Triumph Scrambler 1200 is in a class of its own. It’s a big street bike that has some serious off-road capability....

Advanced electronics play a major role when aggressive riding is called for. No one will argue that going to a racetrack for a few sessions of high-speed shenanigans is not a lot of fun. Track day...

Race Bred Streetfighter

An improved motorcycle with lessons learned from Moto2. When Triumph signed a deal with Dorna in 2019 to be the exclusive engine supplier to Moto2, it wasn’t only so the British bike maker could...

A Worthy Retro

A thoroughly modern naked bike disguised as a throwback to the ’70s. I am not, with rare exceptions, a fan of retro-styled bikes. Too many — I’m thinking of Honda’s CB1100 here — tend to...

2021 Moto Guzzi V7 Review

The completely redesigned V7 retains all the legendary Moto Guzzi character. The Moto Guzzi V7 has been the brand’s bestseller since that edition was launched back in 2008. The bike remains...

Streetfighter with Attitude

A supercharger added to an already great engine in a naked bike means we have a new contender in the ring. Of course, it’s the engine. It’s a motorcycle; it’s always the engine. Motorcycles...
