I currently own 6 helmets, and have owned 10+ over the years. Read more

If they meet the same standards, they are roughly as safe. All moto helmets use the same basic construction philosophy (hard candy shell over EPS). They extras you pay for are lightness, fit, ventilation, and features. Read more

If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years from guys who have been riding longer than I have, it’s this: Read more

Needs a more in depth review. You didn’t even crash to find out if it protects your head.

It’s great to get an opinion from somewhere that doesn’t depend on Triumph ad buys. Read more

Thanks for pointing that out Wes! Read more

From motorcyclist online: “Switchable ABS is available along with 3-level Honda Selectable Torque Control (traction control), but these rider aids are only available in conjunction with the DCT option, and not on the standard bike.” Read more

I don’t think it matters how much it weighs, but how much it feels that it weighs when doing stuff with it. Sure it’s a bit portly for an off-roader, but where is the weight? Read more

i think the beemer(s) are just as easy to strand you as the katooms plus the orange bikes crash well. I rode a 950 superenduro for a while and it was the only big bike i could ride in the sand with its enduro geometry and lighter weight, but still it was a top heavy pig. A regular 950/990/1190 forget it and the big… Read more

I want that damn Strom and here is a brand new 2014 for 11g’s
