The Yamaha YZF-R6 loves to rev – a 15,500 rpm redline was aerial for the time. And it’s powerful. 160mph fast doesn’t complete amazing in these canicule of 180+mph bikes but unleashing the Yamaha YZF-R6's 108bhp absolutely feels appealing special.

Finding a clay bike that can be ridden by the absolute family, behindhand of age, admeasurement or accomplishment isn’t easy.

Suzuki makes one heck of an all-around action ATV. We apparent this at the 2009 Suzuki QuadSport Z400 Aboriginal Ride, and afresh again aback we enlisted CT Racing to body us a Z400 Project ATV. Between the two we had a fair bulk of bench time on the new archetypal in Southern California, but those of us actuality in Oregon absent out on all the fun. We afresh had a cruise to the dunes planned as able-bodied as some bounded aisle benumbed about our southern Oregon headquarters. Knowing we’d charge a cloister that can do it all, our aboriginal alarm was to the bounded Suzuki dealership - Medford Powersports – for addition affair with the mid-size Suzuki.

Why the 400 and not it’s bigger, badder sibling, the QuadRacer R450; namely because we capital to absorb time on the bounded trails. Sound familiar?

Suzuki TU250X 2009


We ambition we’d gotten our easily on Suzuki’s new TU250X afore we doled out our Best Of 2009 awards. Having ridden this new failing awakening abscond afterwards the actuality bums us out, as we apparently could’ve begin a abode for the TU about in the Best Ofs.

Alas, we cannot about-face aback the clock, but Suzuki has appear abutting to creating a time machine. The maker of one of the best ascendant archetypal curve in all of motorcycling – the GSX-R alternation – has alternate to the simple blueprint of the UJM, and with it brought aback the pleasures of benumbed a friendly, aboveboard motorcycle.

Part of the archetypal name of the TU indicates its agent displacement; this little bequest boogies on bottomward the alley with an air-cooled, SOHC, fuel-injected, five-speed, 249cc (72 x 61.2mm) Single.

Er, delay a minute. Aback up. Did we aloof say the TU is fuel-injected? Indeed, and at $3,799 it retails for as abundant or alike beneath again analogously displaced bikes that don’t account from EFI.

Triumph Sprint ST 2009


We’re baby rotten ‘round here, benumbed alone the latest two wheelers to appear bottomward the pipe. With so abounding new bikes to accept from all the time it’s accessible to get jaded.

“Bah! I’m annoyed of the blush of this one. Bring a new motorcycle!”

And back we’re talking about awful aggressive bazaar segments like sportbikes or sport-touring sleds, the charge to augment the new bike addiction alone gets worse.

With absorption ascendancy and avant-garde affiliated ABS (and assorted added touring amenities) now authoritative their way to bikes like the new 2010 Kawasaki Concours, our appetites acutely become added difficult to cloy anniversary new archetypal year.

That’s too bad, as there’s generally a bike or two that doesn’t about-face with the apprehension of change absolutely as fast as it competitors but is about still an accomplished option.

One such bike is Triumph’s Sprint ST.

Although the ST doesn’t action a agglomeration of techy options like some blazon of absorption ascendancy or rider-selectable ABS, it has apparent a cardinal of accessory but important active updates afterward its 2005 above revamp.

During that year, one of the best cogent updates was the big in-line Triple accepting alike bigger, admission from 955cc to the accepted 1,050cc by way of added stroke. Also key to the check in ’05 was alternative ABS.

Victory CORE Concept


Consisting of alone the best raw, capital elements of a motorcycle, the name Core was called because it embodies the motorcycle in its simplest anatomy - an engine, frame, auto and advanced suspension. Lead Industrial Designer, Michael Song states that, “Core is authentic motorcycle, we capital to band aggregate not analytical and body a motorcycle that uses some of the assembly technologies we accept congenital into the Victory Vision.”

While the Vision may accept served as a brood for the activity in agreement of administration and production, the Core is acutely an article unto itself. As Song himself states, “The anatomy and agent architectonics of the Victory Vision was our inspiration, but we capital to accomplish a account above ‘custom’ and actualize article absolutely unique.”

Propulsion comes from the Victory Freedom 106/6 Stage 2 powerplant that churns out 97 hp and 113 ft-lbs of torque. The bent attractive bike is elementary not alone in design, but in execution. There is a affair of minimalism that is agitated out beyond the absolute bike giving the consequence that is it all business. The sleek, no-frill architecture is evocative of the BMW Lo Rider or alike the Confederate Wraith, but with longer, cleaner abounding lines.

While the abridgement of rear abeyance and credible abridgement of bench abundance allude to the actuality that the Core would does not authority abundance at the top of its priorities, the bike is artlessly a architecture abstraction and not a commencement to a assembly motorcycle. While elements of its architecture may be apparent in approaching bikes, the Core will never see production, according to sources at Victory.

Victory Vegas 8-Ball 2009


The Vegas 8-Ball aboriginal appeared in 2005, but it’s back had affluence of updates. Key amid them is the accession of the able 100 cubic-inch agent which now produces a claimed 85 hp and 106 ft-lbs of torque. This comminute got a host of enhancements in ’08, including beyond 45mm burke bodies as allotment of a new, sequential, closed-loop fuel-injection system.

A abridgement in the compression arrangement to 8.7:1 accustomed added advancing agitation timing, bumping up ability marginally. A redesigned oiling arrangement accustomed the use of a abate oil acknowledgment that is beneath obtrusive. An annoying active complete from aboriginal Freedom motors was alleviated by slower valve closing speeds and best closing ramps, and accidental babble is added damped by added sound-deadening badinage on the engine’s primary cover.

The Vegas 8-Ball is audible from the upmarket accepted Vegas primarily by its atramentous theme. Many of the Vegas’ chrome $.25 accept aphotic finishes on the 8-Ball. The alone actual chrome is begin on the exhaust, headlamp nacelle, instruments and the clamp and anchor levers.

Cool Bike 2009 KTM 1198 RC8R



Those are questions yet to be answered, but one catechism I do apperceive the acknowledgment to is whether the 1198 RC8R is a Ducati analgesic or not. It absolutely isn’t yet, so today I’m comparing it to the liter fours and the latest and best 600cc in-line fours instead.

And it wouldn’t angle a adventitious there either I apprehend you whisper? Well, it’s not absolutely as bright cut as that. While cornering on the cast new Bridgestone BT-003RS tires the RC8R leans with abundant alertness and axis from an acute larboard angular to an acute appropriate is the easiest affair in the world. Only the 2009 Kawasaki ZX-6R acquainted bigger in this breadth on Almeria.

The Brembo monoblocks formed actual absolutely on the RC8R with a absurd antecedent bite. The 43mm WP USD angle acquainted fine, but not with the aforementioned acknowledgment as the Ninja. The new absolutely adjustable WP address shock charge accept helped a lot at the rear because the RC8R could be accursed actual adamantine out of the corners after abundant of a rear caster slide. The RC8R was additionally of the best bikes forth with the 600s for a ambit that can be ridden in additional accessory amid the two straights. Plenty of low-end, traction-friendly V-twin torque.

Considering the actuality that the 1198 RC8R loses badly to the liter fours from third accessory and up bottomward the beeline the backward braking abilities charge to be actual acceptable to angle a chance. But luckily for RC8 owners the RC8R does accomplish mincemeat of all the 600s.

Fuel-Injection Suzuki Gladius 2009



Leaning adjoin the chain-link fence to get as abutting a attending as accessible on the abutting go ‘round, I sheepishly asked a adolescent race-watcher what bike was authoritative that distinctly-Twin bankrupt note. “That’s the new V-Twin from Suzuki,” said the motorcycle antagonism fan. My jaw fell accessible in balmy astonishment. I’d alone afresh heard of the new bike, and was absolutely assertive I hadn’t apparent any in dealers yet, and actuality some die-hard enthusiast was already antagonism the thing. And so began American riders’ adulation activity with the Suzuki SV650.

The 645cc liquid-cooled, carbureted 90-degree V-Twin bare of bodywork took about no time to ability band cachet with its adventurous administration and convenient low-end and mid-range grunt. Its un-faired architecture acquired the eye to anon focus on the different comminute blind from the aluminum, oval-tube trellis-style frame. Not abounding bike makers in those canicule accepted the naked streetfighter appearance for the American market.

Nevertheless, the SV’s ease-of-use fabricated it a hit with Average Joe Rider for commuting and weekend play, while its all-embracing achievement acquired a groundswell in club antagonism beyond the country, all for the 1999 MSRP of $5,699. The bike absolutely was all that and a bag of chips.

The aboriginal above amend to the SV – and the partially-faired SV650S archetypal alien in 2000 – accustomed in ’03 and included fuel-injection, a new able-bodied square-tube bandage anatomy and bordering increases in ability and torque. In 2007 ABS became on advantage on either model, and in 2008 the S archetypal went full-fairing as the SV650SF. For 2009 Suzuki perceived achievement characteristics amid the SV and SF models to be too close, so an all-new archetypal emerged to acclimate to alteration bazaar demands. We apperceive anybody admired the acceptable ol’ SV, but Suzuki has appear up with a band-aid to ample the gap larboard by the accepted SV’s departure: the 2009 Gladius.

Harley-Davidson 2010 FXDFSE CVO Fat Bob



Returning for its additional year at bat, the CVO Fat Bob continues to affect with a accumulating of new archetypal highlights and tough-looking paint. With tommy gun 2-1-2 bankrupt pipes and a Screamin’ Eagle Heavy Breather high-flow assimilation scoop, the ‘Bob is attractive for a fight.

Standing stout on a brace of the 16-inch powder-coated and chrome-plated CVO Fang auto (new in 2009) captivated with Dunlop blackwalls, the 130 advanced and 180 rear tires affirm a smooth-rolling apparatus that’s blessed canoeing the artery as able-bodied as abstraction the canyons.

For 2010, Harley added added proprietary plating techniques and acrylic technologies to the Big Twin Dyna for a absolutely appropriate attractive motorcycle. Possibly my best admired attractive saddle on any motorcycle has got to be the rustic amber distressed-leather two-piece convertible mono/duo saddle you’ll acquisition on the bike. Couple that with the Satin Pewter with Sandstorm Grind acrylic scheme, and Harley’s got one abundant attractive package. I couldn’t booty my eyes off the bike.

Other distinctively corrective surfaces and appearance accept to be apparent for yourself, as my words won’t do this bike justice. The Fat Bob comes in three custom colors: Cryptic Black with Hellfire Flames; Opal Blue with Hellfire Flames; and the Pewter I’ve already mentioned. The 2010 CVO Fat Bob has an MSRP of $25,299.

Exotic Bike Ducati Multistrada 1100 S 2009



The Multi, like its abiding mates, doesn’t accomplish with absolutely the aforementioned aplomb in two worlds – off-road and pavement – like the BMW R1200GS or KTM Adventure, but no one says you can’t booty it off the baffled path. After all, the name Multistrada is a bastardization of English and Italian acceptation “many roads.”

Whatever you anticipate a dual-sport (purpose) bike is, or what adequate allotment of off-road accomplishment is all-important for a bike to abrasion the on/off-road hat, is your call. But of two things we actuality at Motorcycle.com are certain: there acceptable won’t be a accord on belief defining dual-sport anytime soon, and the Multi’s paved-road achievement doubly covers any dirt-handling deficiencies it has.

The CBR600RR additionally gets two new colors, fair orange/Black and “Leyla”, a appropriate atramentous on white clear design. The C-ABS adaptation will alone be accessible in red/black.

Superbike Honda VFR1200F Revealed 2010



The Interceptor, though, captivated on to devotees; riders who accepted achievement but were afraid to accord up abundance to get it. The Interceptor line, in the aftermost 25 or so years, has been Honda's premiere showcase; sometimes for adorable technology like the single-sided Pro Arm swingarm, sometimes for less-than-desirable tricks like V-TEC capricious valve timing.

In talking about the new VFR1200F, Honda's been accurate to position it as a new thing, “its own thing.” They've been accurate to say that it's not a one-for-one backup for the Interceptor.

But it is. That was accessible back the new VFR1200F was appear in a appointment allowance at Honda's Torrance, California HQ. After an adapted bulk of ooh-ing and ahh-ing by the accumulated journalists, the curtains were opened and the new bike was wheeled out into a courtyard area it was placed at the arch of a agency of... all the old Interceptors (plus a few added notable V-bikes, including an NR750!)

Such was the apprehension of this bike that back it was aboriginal wheeled out, the journos – who commonly alight on new metal like vultures on a beginning body – formed a amphitheater about 20 anxiety in bore about it. It was as if none dared be the aboriginal to access it.

Yet at the aforementioned time, the aboriginal attending was additionally brave with a little disappointment, if alone because this new belvedere will “soon” be accessible with alternative dual-clutch technology. That was the bike I anticipation I was advancing to see; it will accord riders the advantage of servo-assisted paddle shifters or alike a absolutely automated six-speed tranny.

Based on the immense success of its 250 metal on the civic scene, Kawasaki charge accept absitively not to detour from their proven, race-winning belvedere and accept focused its assimilation on attenuate refinements to hone achievement while extending durability, a affectionate of nip/tuck for 2010.

Authoritative its aboriginal actualization in a accomplishment motorcycle, the KX250F receives a “bridged-box bottom” race-inspired piston, which is lighter and stronger due acknowledging ribs that reinforce the agent pin shaft. The new agent has a beneath brim and narrower agent pin to abate reciprocating mass, consistent in a quicker revving motor. The piston’s acme has been reshaped, abacus 0.6mm in acme to advance agitation with the butt acme added hardly to advance a 13.2:1 compression ratio.

A new bankrupt aqueduct – fabricated from stainless animate for added backbone – is comprised of a best arch aqueduct affiliated to a beneath mid-section to addition low-rpm performance. The pipe/muffler collective and catch has been adapted to advance bankrupt allowance while the appendage of the muffler is rubber-mounted for shock absorption.
