Different materials and types of construction, integral, modular or jet: choosing the right helmet means knowing how to distinguish the technical characteristics and go beyond the simple aesthetic evaluation. It’s not a question of safety, the approved castes are all safe in the same way, beyond the price range. A less expensive helmet is therefore […]
After a few years of use, it often happens that the saddle gets damaged showing cracks and cuts. At this point it is necessary to re-linen the motorcycle seat pad. Obviously, by personally carrying out this particular operation, you will have the opportunity to know and learn particularly useful and innovative maintenance techniques, as well […]
The Suzuki Katana, or the “Can-A-Tuna” as it is sometimes called, is one of the most misunderstood motorcycles ever produced. Coming in 600cc and 750cc trims, with 80 hp and 92 hp respectively, the Katana was a capable sport/sport-tourer hybrid that is both welcoming for new riders and powerful enough to be entertaining. Weighing in […]
One of the first motorcycles I owned was a 2008 Suzuki SV650S. It was what I rode immediately after selling my 1999 Kawasaki Ninja 500R (probably the best beginner motorcycle I’ve ever ridden, by the way. Learn more about the Kawasaki Ninja 500R here), and it was the motorcycle that took riding from a hobby […]
Your Credit Score Yes, this is number one. Getting cheap motorcycle insurance is much easier when you have a quality credit score. A good credit score is considered as any score above 710. This does not mean that motorcycle insurance is unavailable for someone with a lower score, it just means that with a score […]
We all want a good deal on a used bike and these guys promise to deliver access to these great deals for the somewhat expensive price of $29.99. We decided to try it out on the premise that $29 spent now could mean savings of a few hundred to a few thousand dollars on this […]
On the highest step of the podium there is no room for two, so Lorenzo Dalla Porta, after a belly race on the ground, must give way to Tony Arbolino, exciting and superb triumphant in photofinish of a Moto3 to the lightning bolt. Both the Italian “young lions” deserve the applause of the 200 thousand […]
After one of our visitors asked us to review VRides we decided to pony up the $10 and check it out for ourselves. Right from the get-go we knew that this particular motorcycle training guide was created on a budget- the website screams “amateur”. However, in the world of motorcycling apperances can be deceiving, so […]
We ride because we love it. Face it: the only reason anyone in North America rides a motorcycle is because we love the feeling of being on two wheels. Sure, the fuel economy and is nice, but nothing can trump the feeling of hitting a corner at a 30 degree angle, leaned over, screaming like […]
For new motorcycle riders, the look and feel of a motorcycle is often as important to rider as actually riding the motorcycle. Let’s be completely honest for a second: every rider wants to feel “cool” when they’re on their motorcycle. For this reason alone many people jump into a motorcycle that’s far too big for […]
The second installment of some of the highlights of the 2019 Calgary Motorcycle Show! I was really sold on the 2019 Kawasaki ER-6N… it really blew me away! I was never a fan of naked bikes before, but this one just looks fantastic. This update is some beginner motorcycles, but mostly other stuff that I […]
The permanent circuit of Assen of 4,542 km, theatre of today’s Dutch GP, is only a distant relative of the 28.4 km long Circuit van Drenthe where it was raced from 1925 to 1955, but still remains of great charm, technically superb, to preserve the title of “cathedral” of motorcycling. Winning at the Dutch TT […]
