2012 Harley Slim

Classic bobber styling and modern Softail handling - that's what the new Harley-Davidson Softail Slim is all about.

The Motor Company unveiled its new creation Wednesday, the Softail model slimmed down to the bare essentials, reminiscent of the custom bobbers of the 1950s.

While it has not been updated for 2012, the Yamaha YZF-R6 remains a formidable mid-size high-performance sport bike.

Utilizing fly-by-wire technology and performance enhancements like the Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake that varies intake tract length and a slipper-type clutch, the R6 is outstanding on both the street and track.

2012 Harley-Davidson 72

Think 1970s. Think metal flake. Think long, lean chrome-enhanced motorcycles.

This is the image Harley-Davidson wants to evoke with one looks at its newest creation, the Seventy-Two.

2011 Suzuki GSX-R 750 Review

2012 KTM Adventure Motorcycle

Perhaps the most off-road oriented of the large adventure bikes,the KTM 990 Adventure has a dirt bike simplicity that keeps its weight and width under control.

WP suspension is long travel-9.65 inches at both ends- so rugged single-track trails are not out of the question, especially if more aggressive aftermarket knobbies are installed.

Looking to give the G 650 GS series the same sort of off-road credibility that the larger GSes have, the new Sertão is designed for more rigorous dirt use than the standard 650 GS.

To that goal, the Sertão has longer- travel suspension with firmer settings, as well as spoked-wheels.
