Kawasaki 2023 ZX-4RR Review

This more than adequate street bike really shines on the track. Only a handful of 400-cc fours have trickled into Canada over the last few decades, from Honda (CB400F Super Sport, CB1), Suzuki...

Ton of Fun

Many new components, a willing engine and attention to detail makes the new Super Meteor 650 a pleasure to ride. Royal Enfield has launched the first spinoff models in its best-selling range of 650...

2023 Honda Transalp Review

The return of the prodigal son does not disappoint. Once again, I must salute the esprit de corps of the good folks at Sondrio, Italy’s, Stilmoto Honda dealership. No sooner had I entered the shop...

An Adventure Tourer That Deserves Respect

While the Versys 1000 doesn’t have enormous horsepower, it is comfortable and quite capable of long-distance travel, and won’t break the bank. With the horsepower race going on, it’s pretty...

World Class Adventurer

Able to handle the rough stuff with a plusher ride for the long haul. We’ve been blessed with an increasingly broad range of new adventure bikes over the last several years. And they’re...

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...

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...

2023 BMW M1000R Review

Add another entry into the elite 200-plus horsepower club. Nothing succeeds like excess – and by concocting the 2023 M1000R (or “MR” as they’d like us to call it), BMW is doing its best to...

2023 Kawasaki KLX230 S Review

Finally, a brand that listens to its vertically challenged riders. I fall most often when I’ve stopped” is a saying I’ve come to use more often than not when I’m riding off-road. On most...

A Most Logical Adventurer

The new 890 Adventure handles pavement as well as it tackles the rough stuff. For the longest time I used to think that, if you wanted a hardcore adventure bike for serious off-roading, KTM’s R...
