2010 Star Raider S vs 2009 Suzuki M109R
2010 Star Raider S vs 2009 Suzuki M109R

There are those who enjoy the visceral feel of a big-bored V-Twin and the chest-pounding bass from throaty pipes in a motorcycle dolled-up with plenty of shiny chrome and all-day, upright ergonomics but aren’t content to lope around town. Sometimes they like to hunker down, rev it up, dump the clutch, and hold on for dear life as the torque-laden
2011 KTM 350 SX-F First Ride
2011 KTM 350 SX-F First Ride

After months of announcing its intention to create a new 350cc 4-stroke motocross bike, Austrian motorcycle manufacturer KTM gave Motorcycle USA the opportunity to ride its eagerly anticipated 2011 KTM 350 SX-F. Not only is the 350 an all-new model in KTM’s line-up, it creates an entirely new category for the motorcycle industry. It was engineered to attract both racers and recreational dirt bike riders seeking a happy-medium between the agility and high-revving performance of a 250F and the brute power and versatility of a 450F. After spending a day at the controls of it at Southern California’s fabulous Pala Raceway, we are impressed with the hybrid qualities of this unique off-road motorcycle.
2010 Vespa GTS 300 Super Review
2010 Vespa GTS 300 Super Review

A Piaggio & Cie. representative walks into the patent office and files an application for a “motorcycle with a rational arrangement of organs and elements, with a frame with a mudguards and covers concealing all mechanical parts.” Rational? Isn't Florence in Italy? What gives? Italian engineering produces beauty, performance, a fat pricetag and all the reliability of Robert Downey Jr. I didn't even know there was a word in Italian for “rational” until I looked it up for this article (razionale, which I previously, and not unreasonably, assumed was some kind of pasta, as in “I'll have the squid-ink razionale with fennel”).

2010 Suzuki KingQuad 750AXi ATV Review

Power steering is definitely the latest “must have” in the ATV industry. This type of stuff seems to all go in phases. First it was IRS that swept the industry. Then it was bigger and bigger engines. Then came fuel injection. Now, it’s power steering. Now you may think that power steering on an ATV is just a sales gimmick, or at least a complex add-on that you don’t realy need, but once you try it – especially the Suzuki version, you’ll be sold on the benefits.
2010 Star V Star 250 Review
2010 Star V Star 250 Review

Unintimidating may not be the sexiest descriptor ever applied to a motorcycle, yet unintimidating is right up the alley for those just starting out on two wheels. An entry-level motorcycle needs to be easy-to-ride, functional and fun. The Yamaha’s V Star 250 pulls off all these feats quite well.
2011 John Deere Gator XUV 825i First Ride
2011 John Deere Gator XUV 825i First Ride

Way back in 1987, John Deere released its first ATV-sized utility vehicle. But the company's slogan, "Nothing runs like a Deere," sure didn't apply to that thing, if you took running to mean going fast. But now, JD, a US-based company, finally has a machine that really does run, the Gator XUV 825i. The XUV stands for "crossover utility vehicle" and, at the recent press introduction at Carolina Adventure World, the company boasted that the 825 provides the best combination of performance and work capability. Before we buckle ourselves in and find out if that's true, let's have a look inside the Gator.
2010 Honda VFR1200F DCT First Ride
2010 Honda VFR1200F DCT First Ride

The Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) is the hottest trend in the sports car world. Now, motorcycle manufacturer Honda is the first to apply this high-end technology to the two-wheeled market as a $1500 option on its all-new VFR1200F. If you’re not familiar with Honda’s latest sport-tourer, make sure to examine the 2010 Honda VFR1200F First Ride from Japan and our follow-up article, the 2010 Honda VFR1200F Comparison. For this report we are going to focus only on the operation of the DCT.

2011 Kawasaki KX250F First Ride

The greenbacks might not be rolling in the motorcycle industry right now, but that didn’t stop Team Green from giving the KX250F motocross bike a massive overhaul for 2011. The Kawasaki R&D team was hard at work with the Lites-class racer and the KX-F has joined the fuel-injection club. Swapping the carburetor was just one of nearly 30 changes for the updated model. Plenty of internal engine mods went with the FI but the other big news is a Separate Function Fork (SFF) which puts one leg in charge of spring action and the other compression and rebound.
2011 Harley-Davidson XR1200X First Ride
2011 Harley-Davidson XR1200X First Ride

First appearances can be misleading. Case in point: Harley-Davidson’s 2011 XR1200X. At first glance the updated Harley appears to be your average, run-of-the-mill standard, barely two steps away from a full-on cruiser. It’s for this reason that upon arriving at Eastern Wisconsin’s beautiful Road America we were surprised to be riding said machine on the racetrack for the U.S. press introduction. But 70-degree sunny weather and one of the country’s best circuits awaited us, so when in Rome… As it turns out all of our prejudices were quite unfounded.

Honda's iScooter?

I will admit that I was one of those schlumpy-looking geeks lined up outside the local Apple store a couple of weeks ago in the pre-dawn chill, comparing apps with the other geeks as we waited for our new iPhones. I've had an iPhone for a couple of years now, and while it's not perfect, (hey, who would think a consumer would actually hold a phone while he's talking on it?) there's something very right about Apple's products, as if the company actually thinks about how its devices will be used. What a concept, right? That seems to be a core element of Apple's success, along with brilliant marketing, skillful use of component sourcing and inexpensive labor to provide nicely finished, high-quality products to market for affordable (if not exactly bargain) pricing.

2011 Ducati Monster 796 First Ride

Italian motorcycle manufacturer, Ducati has released its first new model of the season: the 2011 Ducati Monster 796. This mid-range street bike fills the void between the entry-level personality of the Monster 696 and the advanced road performance of the Monster 1100. With a base price of $9995, the 796 is a sensible choice for motorcyclists looking for an amusing and easy-to-maneuver motorbike that’s ideal for jaunting in-or-around the city.

New concept sport car from German car producer E-Wolf. E-Wolf unveils an EV supercar that’s so sporty. With a top speed of 155 miles per hour and a 0-60 acceleration that clocks in under four seconds, it has the performance to match its Italian playboy good looks, and its all-wheel drive, where each wheel is powered by an independent electric motor, should be able to keep all 2,000 pounds of it on the road. The Ford F650 is a super truck, appeared in 2000. The F650 is designed as a heavy hauler and is often used for towing or as a small dump truck. It is humongous!
