2006 Yamaha FJR1300 First Ride
…nebulous "just right" feeling that Goldilocks digs. Its taller gearing brings down revs from 4000 to 3500 rpm at a 70-mph cruise.

2004 Honda Shadow Aero 750
…chain drive from the old 750's in favor of a quiet maintenance-free shaft drive. Now this 750 competes on a level playing field with the?Suzuki Intruder and Volusia 800's, the?Kawasaki Vulcan 750, and the?Yamaha V-Star 650, which now may feel the pressure to bump up their displacement to the 750 range…
2004 Daytona Bike Week
…rather than revolution, which allows the aftermarket to make a buck." Back in the days of Japanese cruisers like the early Yamaha Viragos and Suzuki Intruders, making a radical custom out of one was but a distant thought for their owners. Instead, they were just an inexpensive way to look cool. Baron Custom…
2003 Yamaha V-Star
…heavy rider and/or with a passenger. Building to a price point has its limitations.Cruising speeds of up to 75 mph are relaxed, although engine vibes intrude once past that threshold. Although the V-Star has no tachometer, we can tell you the Dynojet dyno's speedometer indicated 80 mph at 4000 rpm. Freeway…

2005 4 3 2 Won Shootout Conclusion
…complaining about vibration almost seems like a grizzly bear owner whining that his pet won't play fetch. But it must be said that the Z's vibes will intrude on your riding experience. Still, we're guessing most Z1000 prospects aren't intending to enter the Iron Butt rally anytime soon, so we're willing…
2002 Triumph Tiger vs. BMW R1150GS
…hurt the Trumpet's cause on this tight road. Fog is just part of coastal road running. Note the high-mount exhaust pipe of the Tiger (left) that intrudes on luggage space and causes fumes to permeate clothing packed inside. The BMW, despite its formidable size, is easier to handle in the blind corners…
2002 Triumph Tiger vs. BMW R1150GS
…are less obtrusive than the higher-pitched tune of the Tiger that will result in hands feeling a bit like Rip Van Winkle after a long day.
