I wake up to its piercing howling every morning. RAPHAEL it wails BUY THAT STUPID MOTORCYCLE AND GO BREAK ALL THE BONES IN YOUR FACE.

Remember the Yamaha XT600Z Ténéré? No? Well the idea behind it was pretty cool– go far, go anywhere, go fast and look dope doing it. The new Yamaha T7 calls back to the same concepts, with a modern twist.

There isn’t a true dual sport to be found anywhere in any motorcycle manufacturers lineup. The European options are too expensive, require expensive and frequent maintenance, and offer more performance than most people need. The Japanese options are either boring or too big and heavy, which is why one guy made his own…

European site MoreBikes.co.uk have uncovered drawings that look all sorts of appealing for those of us who want something great both off road an on. From the looks of things, Honda has a mid-sized and faired dual sport/adventure bikes in the works. No, I’m not talking about a faired XR650L, this thing should get fuel…

Electric motorcycles are the future. They will offer far more performance, be far more reliable, and run for far longer on one fill-up... someday. That day isn’t today. But with the launch of the new Zero FXS and DSR, we may just be one step closer.

Last week, I spent two days in the California high desert testing the new Husqvarna 701 Supermoto and 701 Enduro. The dirt focused guys chased my taillights as we rode windy roads on street tires all the way out to Anza Borrego the first day, and then I floundered my way home in the sand, sucking on their dust the…

I’m in Santa Cruz, California near the headquarters of electric motorcycle manufacturer Zero to ride their new electric dual sport/adventure bike and new electric supermoto. What do you want to know?

Of course the headline is hyperbolic; we should all have vast fleets of wheels for every possible activity. But that’s not always realistic, and a bike that can do a little bit of everything has a lot of appeal. That’s what I’m trying to build with my latest project: this single-cylinder dirt bike.

The Husqvarna 701 Supermoto is both a rebadged KTM 690 SMC R and one of the bikes I’m the most excited about this year - and now it’s getting a Enduro twin for those of you who want to take your big thumper fun to the dirt.

Last time I checked, a KTM Freeride, an abandoned Polish coal mine, and a riding buddy were the recipe for a fairly spectacular afternoon.

You may have already heard about the 2016 Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin; an advanced dual sport motorcycle for riding from your house to your office to basically anywhere on Earth. Now Honda’s going all-out on that theme bringing another adventure bike to the US and “aggressively restyling” two more.

Listen up, you turkeys, those trails we all love riding don’t cut themselves. I don’t want to hear any of your whining or excuses – if you dickheads have time to ride, it’s time to drop the throttle and pick up a shovel.

We’ve finally got (almost) every detail on the 2016 Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin, so let’s see how it stacks up to the rest of the larger, long-range off-road bikes in the market right now. Here’s a spec-for-spec comparison with a quick rundown on each of the new Honda’s real rivals.
