 2008 KTM RC8 1190 Review |
|
Aug 21, 2008 - 11:53 AM - by sportbikes
|
KTM firmly places itself into the history books with its first ever superbike! It's orange, its fast and its right straight out of the crate. KTM really managed to impress both Jeremy McWilliams and myself. The 1148cc V-twin from Mattighofen takes on the world.
KTM showed us the very first concept version of the RC8 at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2003. The Austrians are aggressive in their marketing strategy and choosing Tokyo was a nice little intimidating stunt aimed at the Japanese big four. KTM wants to make a big statement with the RC8. It says in big orange letters that if we... [Read More]

2008 Ducati Desmosedici RR Review |
|
Aug 11, 2008 - 6:04 AM - by sportbikes
|
It doesn't take long to be intimidated by the outrageous Desmosedici RR. If the stratospheric $72.5K price tag doesn't get you, the menacing mechanical cacophony upon start-up will. Observers are sucker-punched straight into the gut, and the beautiful racket portends an experience unlike any production streetbike in the world.
It's quite incredible that a manufacturer has offered such a repli-racer to the public. The D16RR is literally a MotoGP bike built for the street. And not those scrawny 800cc prototype racers currently on the grids – we're talking the big-gun near-liter-sized... [Read More]

2008 Oddball Literbikes: Benelli Tornado Tre 1130 vs. Buell 1125R vs. Ducati 1098s |

Us motonutz here at Motorcycle.com are, on occasion, prone to do or see things a little different than the rest of the wackos. Some would even say the inmates are running the asylum around here. Okay, you got us. We see the two-wheel world differently most every day.
This time we decided to create a new category of sportbikes. These machines aren't especially unusual in any way, but they don't fit the standard definition of their class in the strictest sense. Just when you thought it was safe to come out from behind your favorite dyno chart … It's time for another... [Read More]

2008 Supersport Shootout: CBR600RR vs Daytona 675 vs ZX-6R vs R6 vs GSX-R600 |

"These things don't belong on the street!"
This has become the cry of the rational motorcyclist when the subject of modern literbikes comes up. But what if you could have virtually all of the same performance-driven componentry and research and development that go into most superbikes in a motorcycle with roughly 30-35% less spank? Would most riders, young and old, veteran and newbie, feel like they could handle such a bike? Apparently, yes.
Supersports, or more commonly, 600s, are red-hot sellers. Editor Duke reported back from his time at the U.S. launch... [Read More]

2009 Kawasaki KX250F Review
The almost entirely new KX250F proved extremely impressive. It had plenty of power to clear the doubles on the test track, even with a mildly-tubby rider on board.

2008 Naked Middleweight Comparison: Triumph Street Triple 675 vs. Aprilia SL750 Shiver
In a world seemingly filled with clones, it's nice to have a choice. If you're like us, then maybe you, too, like having variety, or seeking out the less popular. Boy, have we got a couple of machines for you!

2008 Vespa S 150 Review
There's something about this tiny scooter that really sets it apart from the rest. Sure, it's a Vespa so you'd expect it to be visually appealing, but this baby is different.

Harley's 105th Anniversary Party
Harley-Davidson's 105th Anniversary Party, even for somebody who is not a "Harley Guy", was too cool to pass up. Milwaukee rolled out the red carpet for at least 200,000 bikers and The Motor Company had many events planned to keep us all entertained.
