In It’s Element

A hard-charging motorcycle for those expert riders who demand more. In two decades of travelling to racetracks around the world, I’ve been to Spain’s Almeria Circuit only twice, including this...

Pushing Boundaries

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 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...

2023 BMW M1000R Review

A Wolf in Lamb’s Clothing

Sophisticated and docile — that is, until you grab a handful of throttle. The first thing that comes to mind when motorcyclists start jabbering about Kawasaki’s Ninja H2 is, without a doubt, the...

Adventure Surpassed

Ducati proves it can play with the big kids in the heavy-weight dual-sport market. It seems everyone is making an adventure bike these days. However, their sizeable dimensions and heavy weight mean...

Forbidden Fruit

Honda’s latest sports tourer not coming to Canada Pity! “We hunger in earnest for that which we cannot consume:” a perfect synopsis of the allure of forbidden fruit from otherwise forgettable...

All-Round Middleweight

Triumph adds a more touring-oriented middleweight to its lineup using an already established driveline. After the sold-out showroom success of its all-new 2021 Trident 660 naked Roadster which, since...
