Yamaha FZ1: The Ultimate Sleeper Superbike
Is there anything better than big inline four powered Japanese muscle bikes? If you said no, you're wrong and should feel bad about yourself. They deliver an unbeatable combo of a comfortable, upright riding position and lots of power. What's not to love? Whether you call it (super/hyper) naked, standard,…

Suzuki Boulevard S40/Savage Review
The Savage/S40 is a good bike, in theory, as evidenced by being a fairly popular bike with some 30+ years of production. However, the one I briefly had, basically went belly up after just a couple weeks. It was only eight years old (2009 model, and this was late 2017)…

Why The Evo Sportster is the Best Harley-Davidson Motorcycle
Ah, the legendary Sportster. A motorcycle that has changed so much, but also so little, since it's introduction in 1957. Let’s get one thing of the way: my opinion here applies to the sweet spot of 5-speed, frame-mounted Evo Sportster models. This means ones made from 1991-2003. Everything after that…

How to Install Bar End Motorcycle Mirrors
It's no secret that most stock motorcycle mirrors aren't that great. They're usually cheap parts bin items that tend to provide a poor view and vibrate excessively.

Honda Shadow VLX: A Small Motorcycle with Big Bike Attitude
I find the Honda Shadow VT600, also known as the Honda Shadow VLX, to be an anomaly of sorts. It’s a small’ish, lightweight (under 500 lbs. wet) cruiser that doesn’t look or feel as small as it is. It has big bike style and attitude, but is deceptively light, nimble,…

How to Change Your Motorcycle’s Coolant
If you have a liquid-cooled bike, like our trusty Z900 RS here, you should be changing your coolant every two years or so. It just wears out and loses effectiveness over time. While the base of any coolant is deionized water, which technically never wears out, and the ethylene or…

1979 Honda CX500 Motorcycle: A Bombproof Vintage Gem
At the time, I thought my CX500 was hot stuff. However, it was my first motorcycle, which is a pretty special and exciting thing. I definitely viewed it with some rose-colored glasses. It's a bit of a mixed bag, but it wasn’t so lousy as to leave me soured on…

Roland Sands Design Truman Perf Waxed Canvas Jacket: Road-Tested Review
The heat in Texas is a uniquely brutal thing only matched by living on the surface of the sun itself. Handling it on a motorcycle is far from easy. You will get hot, you will sweat, and you will be miserable. No biggie, just ditch the ol' leather jacket and…

2018 Royal Enfield One Ride
Rolled along with Kacey from the Denton Independent Motorcycle Show to Fort Worth for the 2018 Royal Enfield One Ride. For early April, it was an uncharacteristically cold, damp, and gray day. Despite the unpleasant weather, a sizable group showed up and pushed through the chilly ride into downtown Fort…
