	Honda CBR250R Sportbike coming to America \| 27 Oct 10
08:57:35 by Rincewind \| Views: 18643 \| Comments: 132 Weighing just 162kg/359lbs, making 26bhp and available with optional ABS, this is the 2011 Honda CBR250R entry-level sportsbike. And, miracle of miracles, it looks like Honda heard the cry for more desirable small-capacity motorcycles, it’s coming to the United States! Like we told when the Asian-market Honda CBR150R debuted last week, this 250 adopts the same Shamu/CBR1000RR styling. That’s a headlight shape based on the VFR1200 and side fairings somewhat close to Honda’s flagship sportsbike. Power comes from a 249cc single-cylinder, DOHC engine that’s equipped with a balancer shaft to smooth out vibrations. That 26bhp arrives at 8,500rpm...

	Western France and Northern Spain, Sept. 2010 \| 24 Oct 10
08:14:44 by FJR-UK \| Views: 14790 \| Comments: 49 Prologue I had been toying with the idea of a trip around the Baltic for something completely different. But, my wife longed for another visit to Spain. I had two years of Spanish in school, and as bad as my Spanish is, it still makes a big difference to our visit. We have more fun in Spain, because I can ask questions and we’re willing to venture into places were English is not spoken. Our last trip to the Costa Verde was 20 years ago. We thought we’d revisit a couple of our favourite places (Llanes, Luarca) as well as stopping in towns we hadn’t had time for before (San Sebastian, Oviedo, La Coruña). And, we wanted to see more of Brittany, so ...

	Suzuki GSR750 Naked Unveiled \| 06 Oct 10
06:51:40 by Rincewind \| Views: 6885 \| Comments: 12 On the coat tails of the Yamaha FZ8, Suzuki is bringing out their own middleweight naked, the new GSR750. The GSR line has been sold in Europe for the past few years, but only in a 600cc version AFAIK. It's not known yet whether the US will get this model. Across the board we are seeing 2011 being the year of the naked resurgence, with the F800R, FZ8, new Speed Triple, and the 1200 Dorsoduro coming ashore. Will Suzuki get in on this new wave, or keep the GSR to the European market? We shall see. The GSR750 certainly has more sex appeal than the more feminine Gladius.

	2011 GSX1250FA coming to America \| 06 Oct 10
06:26:36 by knolltop314 \| Views: 21960 \| Comments: 85 2011 Suzuki GSX1250FA ... an update on the venerable Bandit 1250, now in a fully faired sporty-touring iteration. The Bandit was last seen in Suzuki’s 2008 lineup, and this new version, called the GSX1250FA, takes it up a level. It’s a bike that was introduced in world markets in 2010, but it’s a new addition to American Suzuki’s lineup. And it looks like a bike right for these times, as it offers real-world usability, long-distance comfort , a midrange-heavy big-bore motor and anti-lock-braking safety, all at a very reasonable list price of $11,599. The 2011 GSX1250FA takes the Bandit ...

	2011 KTMs \| 05 Oct 10
18:50:33 by R Doug \| Views: 8512 \| Comments: 17 In addition to the all new 125 Duke, KTM announced a few minor additions (read, minor tweaks to existing bikes) for next year. The tweaks include ABS for the SM-T and a true "Ready to Race" RC8R Track edition. Source: http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/ ------------------------------------------------------- The Duke 125 will serve entry-level riders, with Europe adopting a graduated licensing system that caps engine displacement at 125cc for beginners. The little Duke gets its go from a 124.7cc Single. The four-stroke single-cylinder is liquid-cooled, with a four-valve head actuated by dual overhead cams. A low-slung exhaust exits di...
