New Rider Motorcycle Buyer’s Guide: 2021’s Best Sportbikes

Sportbikes are an outstanding way for new riders to get involved in motorcycle riding.

Add in their light weight, and they are great motorcycles for learning solid riding skills We recommend that new riders stick to motorcycles with engines displacing fewer than 400cc.

Buyer's Guide

Number 10: 2022 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT Review During our first assessment of the Tracer 9 GT, we found some room for improvement.Joseph Agustin At the end of March we published our first impressions of the 2022 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT, a sport-touring machine that took the place of FJ-09 in Yamaha’s lineup in 2021.

The 9 GT also comes with semi-active suspension, which we weren’t so fond of in more aggressive riding situations. But for the more…

Apollo Walker Carrier Backpack For Pets Review: Motorcycle Tested!

evaluation

There’s often some confusion in our household when we’re enthusiastically yelling words of encouragement during MotoGP racing. That’s because Charley, our cuddly King Charles Cavalier, is otherwise known as ‘Binder’, a nickname taken from Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Brad Binder. We frequently travel in our RV and didn’t want to leave our doggie behind, locked away in the camper in a strange campground while exploring our motorcycles—Binder must be with us when we ride. That’s where the Apollo Walker Carrier Backpack For Pets comes in. No extra encouragement was needed, as Charley/Binder loves motorcycles. He has been around them all his life,…

evaluation, footwearevaluation, Golf, Immortal

I’ve never thought of myself as a shoe person. I’m not one of those women with a closetful of shoes for every occasion. However, I have noticed that the bottom of my closet is getting overrun with Alpinestars riding shoes.

Review: 2023 Can-Am Spyder RT Sea-to-Sky

Buyer's Guide, evaluation

Can-Am has always marched to the beat of its own drum. A subsidiary of Bombardier (the Canadian business jet manufacturer), the company invented both the Ski-Doo snowmobile and the Sea-Doo watercraft. When it rolled out the innovative three-wheeled Spyder in 2007, many of us in the motorcycle community didn’t know what to make of it. Over the years, the Spyder has found favor with a large number of enthusiasts who ardently embrace the unique three-wheel platform, growing out the segment exponentially. The idea for a planted road-going trike evolved from the Ski-Doo. Can-Am engineers transformed the snowmobile chassis’ base Y-architecture…
