 2013 Honda CBR600RR Review |
|
Apr 11, 2013 - 3:47 PM - by admin
|
Boasting the second lightest weight and one of the best-handling chassis in the supersport class, the modestly updated Honda CBR600RR remains a force with which to be reckoned. We put it to the test in a recent media event at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway.

2013 Honda CBR600RR - First Ride Street Impression |
|
Mar 26, 2013 - 9:59 AM - by admin
|
While not a new model, the 2013 Honda CBR600RR is slightly improved for slightly less money. Compared to a few of its competitors, it's missing some of the current technological catch phrases like TC and Ride Modes. But for purists not wanting electronic intrusion in their riding, and considering its quick and stable handling characteristics both on the street and track, the mid-displacement CBR could be the motorcycle of choice for many enthusiasts.

2013 Ducati 1199 Panigale R Review - Video |
|
Mar 23, 2013 - 8:54 PM - by admin
|
Ducati's new R-spec Panigale will surely be fighting for a spot in the garages of well-heeled sportbike enthusiasts, as it's the latest in a long line of homologation specials the Italian company has used as the base for its World Superbike entries. The Panigale R takes all the best parts of the sensational 1199 S and adds titanium connecting rods, a lightened flywheel and an adjustable swingarm pivot to create the most capable Ducati sportbike ever seen.
We took this piece of Italian exotica for a spin around the fantastic new Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.

2013 Kawasaki ZX-6R vs. 2012 Suzuki GSX-R750 vs. 2012 Triumph Daytona 675R - Video |
|
Jan 03, 2013 - 4:25 PM - by admin
|
In 2011 we pitted the Ducati 848 EVO, Suzuki GSX-R750 and Triumph Daytona 675R against each other both on the track and street to find the king of the middleweight sportbike category. By the numbers, Suzuki's GSX-R750 emerged the winner in both arenas, but the Triumph tugged at our heartstrings throughout. Oddly, despite having the largest displacement, Ducati's 848 EVO simply couldn't hang with its Japanese and British competition.
When Kawasaki re-introduced the ZX-6R with its 636cc engine this year, suddenly the oddball middleweight sportbike wars are back on, and who better to wage this war than us? The natural competitor to the Kawi is the GSX-R750, the winner of this test in 2011. But we have such a soft spot for the Triumph Daytona 675R we decided to bring it along as well.

2013 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R Review |
|
Oct 15, 2012 - 12:54 PM - by admin
|
It's hard to believe a decade has gone by since the first 636cc Kawasaki ZX-6R first came to our shores. The beefed up middleweight shook up the category with its displacement advantage over its rivals, and with the 600cc ZX-6RR variant being sold alongside, both racers and street riders were happy. But in 2007, after four years of success, Team Green stuck with tradition and axed the 636 from its lineup to continue with a 599cc version.
However, with many manufacturers focusing on literbike updates lately, the middleweight category has remained relatively stagnant, save for a freshened up Suzuki GSX-R600 in 2011, and, of course, MV Agusta's beautiful F3. Known for shaking up the status quo, Kawasaki is looking to jolt some life back into the class with the 2013 ZX-6R. The magic number behind the new ZX: 636.
