	2010 Kawasak Z1000 Review [motorcycle.com] \| 14 Dec 09
23:06:12 by UFO \| Views: 19431 \| Comments: 60 Motorcycle.com puts the new Z1000 through the paces. Yes, it looks like something straight out of a Transformers movie, but it's economical performance if the aesthetics appeal. Kawi says the engine spits out 138 crankshaft horsepower at 9600 revs, which will likely convert to nearly 125 ponies at the rear tire. Torque is rated at a considerable 81.1 ft-lbs at 7800 rpm. After wringing the Zee's neck (and later my rain gear) romping around the soggy Cambria, California, I can say that not many people will be wishing for more power. Suspension is by Showa. The 41mm inverted fork now includes compression-damping adjustability to ...

	Ride through New South Wales and Queensland [a trip report] \| 06 Dec 09
16:53:04 by Daniel Kalal \| Views: 4183 \| Comments: 19 Back in 2007, I borrowed Pete Roper's yellow Moto Guzzi Griso, and rode south from Bungendore, across to Tasmania and then through Victoria, and back. That was a very good trip, and I really enjoyed riding through Australia. Earlier this year, I rode a Guzzi Stelvio from Italy to Norway. Generally, I just do one decent sized trip each year, filling out the year with dozens of two and three-day trips. But, this year, I had more available time than usual. Would it be too much to borrow Pete's bike, again? Sydney. I had a few hours. I was impressed by the rail system. Easy to use, and frequent enough to make it conv...

	Europe 2009 - Sardinia \| 02 Dec 09
10:54:16 by notarian \| Views: 1848 \| Comments: 8 Sardinia is an island with many faces and entirely different than Corsica. If sun and sea is your bag then Sardinia is the place to make tracks for. Emerald green / blue waters, pristine white sand beaches are everywhere and its hot – July and August are scorching really and well into the 90 – 100’s F (35 – 42 C). But it comes at a cost as summer tourist beach areas in Sardinia are very expensive, new tourist town developments are constantly ongoing similar to the Spanish Mediterranean coast, the food can be worse than bog standard and the beach area locals can be indifferent and downright rude. On the other hand, the hill / mountain interior reg...

	Kevin Ash Reviews the VFR1200F [ashonbikes.com] \| 29 Nov 09
15:38:38 by UFO \| Views: 11102 \| Comments: 91 Respected motojournalist Kevin Ash reviews the new VFR1200F. He thinks it's a good bike, but not a great bike as should have been delivered by Honda considering the development time, hype, and projected price of the bike. He also expresses big concern about the mileage limitations of the new V4...and he's one of many in a growing list to do so. The VFR has a 4.1 gallon (18.5 litre, 4.9 gallon US) capacity, and at the 40mpg (14.6km/l, 7.06l/100km, 33.3mpg US) we were achieving in mixed riding (with some pretty fast going), that’s a mere 164 miles (264km) to completely dry. In practice then you’ll be looking for a refill at 130 miles, or if you’re...
