@Go4Long - great pics!

@adamc - what hotel did you stay at? Will make note if ever I go to that GP haha!

Get the paddock pass! I used to love going to Laguna because of it. None of the European rounds that I've been to offered one, which is a real shame.

No doubt it will be! Maybe the Andreas have something to challenge Marquez.

Hopefully Suzuki and Aprilia take advantage of their concessions the same way Ducati did last year and develop some...

I'm the one who said that they'll be aiming for Top 10s, and argued you that they would not be "more competitive than Ducati", as you suggested. Tests are one thing, but there's a reason why they...

Well then, gotta go with Bradl and Hayden (depending on whether or not the new customer bike is as improved as Honda claims). I wouldn't count out Petrucci or Yonny either. Yes, they're technically...

If by non-factory we're talking about anyone not on the actual factory squads, then I gotta go with Pol. Crutchlow may surprise, but the Tech 3 bike is too close to the "factory" M1, and in his...

If it's for street use, just pick whichever one calls to you. They'll all get the job done, and any issues can be remedied/adjusted to a certain extent. eg: the Honda won’t give you a slipper (or...

I don't use one myself, but everyone who does seems to love the Ram Mounts connected to the triple tree. Might be worth looking into.

^I came away impressed. You can tell it's a smaller bike, but it's not bad to look at. And, it doesn't feel small when you're on it. Then again, I'm only 5'9", so most bikes work just fine for me. :D

*edit: double post

Yep, same experience riding in Cali. Coming from here, the first few lane splits felt a bit weird, but after that it felt very natural and made riding a lot more enjoyable.



Best place I've...

Where's the option for both? I prefer a long clutch lever & short brake combo.

Never noticed it before, but it's just a preference thing. I find they really help on track, and even on the street tbh. Not sure how he goes without them.

^ That article is from earlier this year when little was known of Honda's V4 (retail version) superbike.

The bike that was rolled out just the other day is now dubbed the RC213V-S, and is very...

^ Some people - maybe even most - don't buy exotic motor vehicles with the intention of pushing them to their limits. Look at how many Ferraris, Lambos, etc. never see the track. They're point A to...

The street legal H2 specs are out, and in a word, disappointing.

From 300HP in the H2R, down to 197HP. And, at 525lbs (wet) it's a porker too. Throw in the mid-$20k pricing, and it's one of the...

If the rumors about the amount of tech from the actual GP bikes are true, the price of the Honda will be well into the six figures. As a MotoGP enthusiast, I could justify such a purchase...if I...

Quite a bit of interest - maybe we can get a group discount. :D

True enough, though the estimated prices I've been reading are "low to mid 5000s" in USD. So, maybe make that an even $6k for Canada, plus all that extra stuff for a new bike - could be up to $6500...

^Woooo! Saw that on Dani's Instagram feed - so sick!

I won't spoil any of the results from this weekend's races, but let's just say the three classes do not disappoint!

I was in one of the...

No pics??? You should be ashamed of yourself.

^ Indeed. For $30K I would add one to be stablemate for the 1199.

Man, I wish it wasn't winter here for 4-5 months a year. :(

^ Nobody is suggesting that Suzuki is there to embarrass themselves, but unless your definition of “competitive” is 10-15th, then it’s not “kidding yourself” to believe that Suzuki will take this...

^ Tough to say until Valencia, I suppose. Suzuki has always been the least transparent of the factories when it comes to development from the factory. For all we know, the GSX-RR is a beast already....

^ I bet they are functional. Kawi set out to create an all-out performance machine. Adding weight for the sake of (questionable) aesthetics just wouldn't make sense.

I'm very curious to see who...

Too true, and the Suzuki will most likely be no match for the other factories, at least not for a few seasons.

I think the Miller jump to GP is just a rush job by Honda to get another Aussie in...

^ It should have a "E3" tag sewn to the chinstrap if it's from Italy.

Oh, and best of luck with shipping! I dealt with a shop that I had actually been to in person when I was in Firenze, so I took...

Well, it was finally released, and the number that was on everyone's mind is ridiculous: the Ninja H2R will unleash around 300HP! :eek: :drool:

Although the H2R is for "track only", many are...

A. Espargaro and Vinales on the factory Suzukis next year - awesome! Stoked about Vinales stepping up. The kid's unreal.

Recently, I bought a Suomy SR-Sport from Italy since the design I wanted wasn't available in North America. As a result, it does not have the DOT sticker, and I can only assume that the SR-Sport that...

^ Well, there ya go - if the bike were that good, no way a kitchen reno trumps it! :D

But, to answer the original question, I highly doubt that I would ever buy an electric motorcycle unless it...

^ I know a few riders who have received tickets for it, so yeah, it's illegal. "Stunting" is what they were written up for.

As with most things cop related, it just depends who you get. I've only...

^ Yes, definitely. Not 100% sure how to implement it, but give the teams a few more tire options. For the most part, riders aren't complaining about engine performance, brakes, etc. - they complain...

I've said it before: I'll always have a soft spot for Kawi. Hopefully they return in the near future.

Let's just hope that the new rules make it more appealing for more manufacturers to jump in,...

Probably expensive enough to make the bike unpopular here. I could see it being difficult to get a hold of, or not available at all.

The article says that it should be under 6k Euros, which is...

Just to chime in, I bought/installed a Danmoto exhaust on a friend's bike (Suzuki Gladius), and was pleasantly surprised. Sounded good, fit well, and the quality was decent. Factor in the price and I...

Ha! I have a pair of those.

Personally, I like the Dainese stuff since I'm a Dainese fanboy. :S

I have these guys:

Some good advice already mentioned. I’ll add the following…

- Do not set out with the intention of going fast. Focus on being smooth and consistent.
- Tape over your speedometer. You want to...

Many years ago, I was rolling through downtown on my way home. It was right around high-school grad time, and I was cruising beside a limo that had its windows down. There were some chicks inside,...

Stuff like this is one of the only reasons I'm glad my bike is so damn loud (stock!).

I've had people try to talk to me out of their windows, and I legitimately can't hear them. I point to my ear...
