Believe it or not, but until late Tuesday night, you weren't able to compare two or more motorcycles side-by-side using this whole Internet malarky. Crazy right? Well, we just fixed that with a new website called RideApart. Here's the inside story.

Believe it or not, but the bike I’m riding here wasn’t made in the 1970s. It’s the brand-new, 2013Moto Guzzi V7 Racer Record. And, while it might look old, has plenty of classic character and ticks all the right boxes in your heart, it’s also reliable, safe and comfortable. The best retro yet?

The Suzuki DR-Z400S is an incredibly capable motorcycle. I’ve had the chance to ride one the past few weeks and I took it on a 300 mile highway journey, a 200 mile offroad adventure, did multiple days off road, rode it around town, and commuted from Long Beach to LA (about 25 miles) on a regular basis.
