Customs JRL Cycles' Radial Chopper
…off again in 2006. The actual build time on the Radial Chopper took around nine months. The end product was surprisingly close to the initial drawings. For the build, one of the first issues to arise was simply finding the right engine. Most radials Levey had seen up to then were too big. Then he came…
2005 Confederate Hellcat First Ride
…with these engines is fast as hell, tough as nails, and possess its own special character and personality."Coming at ya, the Hellcat looks like some sort of futuristic British streetfighter with its three stacked PIAA headlights. The black forks, sinister looking radial brake mounts and six piston calipers…
2007 Aprilia SXV First Ride
…smaller by two teeth.Traveling at a greater velocity means a necessity for more powerful braking. This comes by way of a 320mm front rotor with a radial-mount caliper.

2007 Honda CBR600RR First Ride
…CBR's shorter engine allows a tighter wheelbase despite a slightly longer aluminum swingarm that still incorporates Honda's Unit Pro-Link suspension.Hell, I was excited too.

2008 Triumph Daytona 675 Comparison
…are still really good, though not quite on par with the superstar set-ups from Suzuki and Honda.

2007 KTM Super Duke First Ride
…the more skilled journalists and stunt riders on hand at this event. Leaving black stripes on the track during acceleration and shredding the holy hell out of the rear tire is merely a couple examples of the hooligan behavior willingly exhibited by the Super Duke.

2004 Honda Interceptor
…threshold, the motor is quiet, reserved and can be ridden all day in this two-valve-per-cylinder mode (up to 105 mph in sixth gear!). Not that all hell breaks loose when the VTEC machinations kick in, but the motor's character definitely changes as the intake growl and exhaust note get more serious…
2006 Kawasaki ZX-14 First Ride
…good connection to the rider's foot in all the situations we tested it in. Modulating the bulletproof clutch is a piece of cake thanks to the 14's radial mount hydraulic clutch master cylinder.
