Honda CBR1000R, Kawasaki ZX-10R, Suzuki GSX-R1000 And Yamaha YZF-R1 - Livin' Large Literbikes: Threat Or Menace
You can't say Suzuki's '05 GSX-R1000 started it. But it does seem to be the bike that crystallized the current argument that sporting literbikes have crossed that invisible line between Just Enough and what the French would describe as Deep Merde. As one reader suggested, riding such a motorcycle on more

Smart Money: 1990 Honda RC30
Not so much a race-replica as a TT-F1 racer you could hang a license plate on, Honda's RC30 had come and gone before most of us realized what we'd missed. As the 1980s gave way to the '90s, V-four engines replaced the inline layout as Honda's corporate perform more
2005 Honda CBR 600RR
Waiting for Buttonwillow Raceway's 1.9-mile West Loop to dry under a thick layer of Central Valley fog, it's easy to mistake this 2005-spec CBR600RR for the '04 model parked alongside it. Walking around the new bike with a fresh cup of coffee, differences are more
The $7000 Solution: Honda 599 vs. Suzuki SV650 vs. Yamaha FZ6
It only makes sense. Although slow to get off the launching pad, the big-bore naked bikes have headed into orbit. Combined, the Japanese entries—the Honda 919, Kawasaki ZRX1200R (and less so the Z1000), Suzuki Bandit (and less so the SV1000) and Yamaha FZ1 more
Honda CBR1000RR Road Test
When Honda rolled the now legendary RC211V MotoGP motorcycle onto its first grid back in 2002, we all knew we were seeing something audacious, original and unprecedented. What we didn't know was just how ridiculously dominant it would turn out to be. Now, two more
First Ride: 2004 Honda CBR1000RR
I'd had the feeling all morning that Honda's all-new CBR1000RR was hooking up exceptionally well -- transferring its 172 (claimed) horsepower to the track efficiently and letting me get on the throttle sooner exiting corners. But now I had proof. more
Honda 599 First Ride
How long have we wondered when someone, anyone, would launch a true competitor to Suzuki's SV650? (Right after we and Suzuki realized how much of a hit the SV was, actually.) For five years now, Suzuki's had the category -- a reasonably sporty and inexpensive more

First Ride: 2004 HONDA VALKYRIE RUNE
The guy on the Fat Boy spotted us riding up Pacific Coast Highway--and hung a U-turn to give chase. He followed us for 10 miles as we cut up into the coastal mountains. When we stopped, he stopped--and jumped off his bike for a closer look at Honda's striking more
2004 CBR1000RR: Gettin' it On
Judging by this image (from Japan's Auto By magazine), Honda's replacement for the CBR954RR will indeed be a large-displacement-and far more powerful-version of the CBR600RR, just as we reported in our March 2003 issue (page 36). more
