2015 BMW S1000R PREMIUM EDITION

Standard motorcycles, also known as naked bikes or roadsters, are a popular type of motorcycle around the world. However, they are particularly popular outside of America, where they are considered a staple of the motorcycle culture.

There are several reasons why standard motorcycles are more popular outside of America. One reason is that they are considered more versatile and practical than other types of motorcycles. Standard motorcycles are typically more comfortable for long rides, as they offer a more upright riding position and a more relaxed seating position. They also have a more neutral handling, which makes them ideal for both city riding and touring.

Another reason why standard motorcycles are more popular outside of America is that they are considered more affordable than other types of motorcycles. Standard motorcycles typically have a simpler design, which makes them less expensive to produce and maintain. [...]

2022 Kawasaki KLR650

Dual sport motorcycles are a popular choice for riders who want the versatility of a street bike with the capability of a dirt bike. Two of the most popular models in this category are the Kawasaki KLR 650 and the Honda XR 650L, and the Suzuki DR650S. Each of these bikes has its own unique features and capabilities, and in this blog post, we will compare and contrast them to help you decide which one may be the best fit for you.

The Kawasaki KLR 650 is known for its long-distance capabilities and comfortable ride. It has a 651 cc engine and a fuel capacity of 6.1 gallons, making it a great option for extended trips on the road or off-road. The bike also has a large fairing and windscreen for added protection from the elements.

2018 Kawasaki Ninja 400

The Ninja 400, R3, and CBR500R are all popular options for those in the market for a sport motorcycle. However, each bike has its own unique set of features and specifications that set it apart from the others.

The Ninja 400, for example, is a lightweight and nimble bike that is perfect for new riders or those looking for a more manageable ride. It has a 399cc engine that produces 49 horsepower and 28 lb-ft of torque, and a top speed of around 120 mph. The bike also features a low seat height and a comfortable riding position, making it easy to handle for riders of all sizes.

Everyones heard of the Yamaha YZF-R6 which debuted in 1999 as a 600 class sportbike

Although the YZF-R6 has been a great performer in the sales charts for Yamaha USA, their numbers have steadily dwindled since its release in the early 2000s. Yamaha later announced the 2020 model year being the last for the Yamaha YZF-R6, the model was then discontinued in the USA and Europe. The demise of the much loved YZF-R6 leaves Yamaha with no middleweight sportbike, all that remained were in twin-cylinder or supersport form—with only the YZF-R3 and YZF-R1 on sale leaving a massive gap in Yamaha’s line-up.

That is, until the world was introduced to a new breed of bike, Yamaha’s YZF-R7!

When Yamaha made the announcement, many thought it would be just another comfy CBR650R or an affable Ninja 650, but it’s far closer to that of the R6. After [...]

When you think of a fast sports bike most people stop at the 1,000 cc range, but there are faster bikes and today we talk about two of the bikes who have been competing for that top spot. The Hayabusa and the zx14r.

The Kawasaki KLX250, Yamaha XT250, WR250R, and the Honda CRF250L represent a broad range of designs and capabilities. We’ve gathered several dual sport bikes to explore their differences.

Yamaha XT250

The XT250 has a relatively low seat height and more than enough ground clearance for a slightly shorter dual-sport bike. Most off road bikes are usually pretty tall but the XT250 has a seat height that’s lower than 32 inches, still it’s able to clear obstacles more than adequately. The handling on the XT250 is quite nice at low speeds, and it’s turning angle is close to that of a trials bike at 50 degrees, the wheelbase is short so it’s a pretty tight turning vehicle which makes for great maneuverability and sits a very light 291 lbs.

Displacement: 249cc
