- The King of Roads—Historic Columbia River Highway A title like the King of Roads sets up a lot of expectations. The Historic Columbia River Highway lives up to all of them. That’s not the only accolade bestowed upon this 75-mile stretch between The Dalles and Troutdale, OR, though. It’s also designated a National Historic Landmark,
- Roundtrip Tour Cuba: A Land of Promises and Problems Only 10 minutes after giving the safety briefing, my motorcycle slipped on a piece of greasy road and I fell. Another 10 minutes after our guide told us the rain was gone for the day and we didn’t need rain gear, we were in a monsoon. Near the end
- The Boys of Summer, Part 1: Massachusetts, Connecticut & New York My father is a New York Yankees fan. Born the year after Mickey Mantle put on the pinstripes (so 1952), he grew up in the Yankees’ Golden Era. The Bronx Bombers were in the midst of a five-year World Series win streak, an effort that would lead them toward 27

- Review: 2024 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide ST Harley-Davidson’s “Dawn of a New Era” press invite for the new 2024 models included an unusual schedule entry. The second of two riding days was slated for Nevada’s otherworldly Valley of Fire, a fitting locale to enjoy the roundly updated 2024 Road Glide and Street Glide bagger touring
- Review: 2024 Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 In January 2023, I journeyed to rural India for the domestic launch of Royal Enfield’s new Super Meteor 650 cruiser. Riding in India for two days was a truly unique experience and the Super Meteor 650 proved to be capable, comfortable, and tough enough to take on the country’
- Review: 2024 BMW R 1300 GS In 2004, the Yamaha FJR still had that new car smell, the Honda VFR was still a contender, and the Ducati Multistrada 1000S DS had bodywork from the future. Then, like a meteor, Ewan-Wan Kenobi and his pal Charley took the long way around on a pair of BMW R
- Review: 2024 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+ The sport-touring category is alive and well—but motorcycles don’t look like your dad’s Honda ST1300 anymore. The bikes in this segment have evolved, with more focus on sportiness and technology alongside a healthy dose of aggressive styling. If you’re a street rider who goes on trips,
- Review: 2024 Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro & Rally Pro In 2020, Triumph’s Tiger 800 underwent a significant transformation to become the Tiger 900. For 2024, the bike ostensibly remains identical in mechanical appearance, although the manufacturer’s claim of the new model being a “significant update” is well-founded. Triumph’s use of a triple-cylinder powerplant is the most
- Review: 2023 Harley-Davidson CVO Street Glide/CVO Road Glide The year 1903 was an auspicious one for mechanical invention. The Wright Brothers achieved motorized flight at Kitty Hawk, NC, while Harley-Davidson was founded in Milwaukee, WI. These two endeavors shared several traits. Each involved unique machines using the relatively recently invented internal combustion engine, and each began humbl...
- Triumph Reveals 2025 Trident 660 Tribute Edition The Triumph Trident has an interesting history of existing, disappearing, and then returning before vanishing once more. In 2020, the company introduced the Trident 660 which has done well for itself, selling a total of 35,600 units. With 2025 coming around soon(ish), this new Trident will turn five
- SW-Motech Offers Full Accessory Line for 2024 BMW R 1300 GS Upon its launch, the 2024 BMW R 1300 GS redefined the motorcycle, with a slimmer profile, lower weight, and many other features. That, however, means that accessories made for older GS models may not fit the bike’s newest iteration. SW-Motech is fueling GS adventurers’ ambitions with a full catalog

- 2023 Yamaha MT-10 Specs
In calmer days last fall, I traveled to North Carolina to attend the press launch for the Yamaha MT-10, a naked sportbike based on the YZF-R1 that was updated with engine refinements, R1-sourced electronics, new styling, and revised ergonomics. The MT-10’s suck-squeeze-bang-blow comes courtesy of a 998cc inline-Four with a crossplane crankshaft tha...
Flash forward to my trip in February. The temperatures had been in the 40s all morning, and after making it through the dust storm and climbing out of the Owens Valley, it dropped into the 30s by the time I stopped for a photo in front of the Death Valley National Park sign. It was a Tuesday, and there were few cars on the road – just the way I lik...
As I wrote about in First Gear last month, it wasn’t just me at AIMExpo. Our dispersed editorial team also came together in Las Vegas, and we enjoyed a group ride to Hoover Dam and Valley of Fire State Park. In the hotel parking garage after the ride, my colleague Kevin Duke pointed out the center of the MT-10’s rear tire was getting thin on tread....
The MT-10’s performance, handling, and ergonomics make it a great streetbike, and with some accessories, it makes for a very sporty sport-tourer. In fact, we’d love to see a Tracer 10 GT version with an even taller windscreen, a lower fairing, heated grips, wind-blocking handguards, hard saddlebags, and higher-mileage sport-touring tires. Hey Yamah...
