- Comments Off on Taking a look at the Yamaha R7
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 [...]

- Comments Off on Battle of the ultimate beast Hayabusa vs. ZX14R
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.
Hayabusa
1340cc in line four engine that produces 195 hp
155 nm of torque
0-60 in 2.6 seconds
586 pounds wet
Zx14r
1441cc in line four engine that produces 207hp
158nm of torque
0-60 in 2.6 seconds
589 pounds wet
Going by specs alone the kawasaki zx14r topples the Hayabusa by having more ccs, an extra 12 horsepower, and 3 pounds of torque to have the more powerful bike.The stock exhaust on the Hayabusa is a mid range rumble upon starting the bike and once it gets up to the higher rpm it gives that whine that you know [...]

- Comments Off on Let’s Compare a few 250cc Dual Sport Bikes
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 XT250The 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.
