I’ve wanted to ride this bike for a long time.  Suzuki’s GSX-Rs are incredibly popular in just about every sportbike circle: racing, stunting, street riding…kids dig ‘em.  I just figured it’s because the gixxer is a great looking bike that, like most Japanese...

Wouldn’t it be cool if you didn’t have to depend on anyone for anything?  I’m not talking about living in a cave somewhere, but wouldn’t it be great to not need tech support or printer ink or $4/gallon gas?  Ah…think of the freedom… Motorcyclists are...

Milan is a beautiful city.  Beautiful streets, beautiful buildings, art, fashion…but what I was most struck by after my first day at the EICMA Show last month was all the nakedness.  Among manufacturers, I mean.  I mean, bikes.  I mean motorcycles!   Taking a cue from the soaring,...

“A great bike for women riders”.  I hate that phrase.  It’s man-speak for ‘yawn’, and it usually precedes an ode to some Shetland pony of a motorcycle:  sturdy, dependable, and so not sexy.  Who wants to yawn on a motorcycle?  Just because the average female...

Wow.  I didn’t think it was possible, but I may be motorcycle-d out.  If you ever make it to this behemoth of a trade show for the world-wide motorcycling market, plan on spending at least two full days there.  I mean two… full… days; there is just too much to see.  And...

  I met Dino in a swank, euro-trash shop in Scottsdale.  Not exactly Scottsdale proper, but the newer, north-end of this Beverly Hills wannabe town, near the airport where celebs fly in for exotic car auctions and super-exclusive spas.  I don’t even know what I was doing there; I...

  Humans love sweets.  This is a medical fact.  Those of us who spend our days in white coats and horn-rimmed glasses know that sugar triggers the release of opioids and dopamine, two ‘feel-good’ chemicals in your brain, which pretty much explains why anyone would pay $25...

So, your boyfriend’s been ogling this bike for months now, huh?  And he tells you it’s waaayy too much bike for you, right?  You know what you should do?  Go out and buy one! The BMW S 1000RR…rreowww! I had the decidedly undiluted pleasure of riding this bike for two...

I would love to find a great-looking sport touring bike.  And then I would love to have time to tour on it.  In any case, I was really looking forward to taking this bike for a spin.  BMWs are notoriously well-reputed, and boast a rugged, intellectual, cult-like following of die-hard...

Ah, the nakeds.  These buff, brawny bikes have quite the cult following.  Now, I’m pretty much a full-fairing gal; I dig the more aggressive lean and all that sleek, sporty plastic, but these bikes do offer some features that make them attractive to women riders.  I call ‘em...
