I've taken my 2012 Triple R to the track a couple of times and it can hold it's own, to a certain extent. Because it's tuned for lower end torque it doesn't have the top end speed, so I maxed it out...

I went from my Ninja to a Street Triple R and I've never regretted it. The Ninja 650 was another I was considering at the same time, but the fact that it was another twin was what put me off. As...

Good job you're passing the bad karma on then hey? A quick hit and run on someone else's property will surely level the karma playing field, right?

It is a fun - I've never ridden it but driven it plenty of times. The problem is that it became something of a racetrack, so there are often tons of motorbikes, cyclists and high performance cars on...

Love this video - that road was in my backyard growing up, so it's a little piece of home. And you're seeing evidence as to why it was classed as the most dangerous road in Britain for many years.

I'll throw in another vote for the Street Triple. Yes, it's naked but I find the tiny screen makes a big difference to the wind buffeting issue. Admittedly my freeway commute was about 30 minutes so...

Hmm - sounds like I need to fix a bad instinctive reaction then. Yes, I've done the MSF and yes they do teach you to pull the clutch in so maybe that's why I did it. I was probably going a little...

So this morning I was leaving home, turning left out of my driveway. I was late, so I was more aggressive on the throttle than I should have been (esp. given the completely cold tires). All of the...

A friend of an acquaintance here in Utah rides year round - sun, rain, wind, snow, ice. It does help that he has a sidecar rig (Ural) and it has 2 wheel drive. It looks like it's a blast in slippy...
