From 2004 to 2010, Yamaha sold the FZ6 Fazer, a sport-touring motorcycle that featured a detuned R6 engine (circa 2003) and sporty styling, but with a more comfortable and ergonomically-friendly riding position. As the owner of a 2007 FZ6 in Yamaha 50th Anniversary colors, I’m happy to write an article extolling its virtues. If you’re reading this while contemplating making a purchase, know that you’ve got your eye on a good bike. However, as good as it is, it isn’t necessarily the best […]

I never need much of an excuse to head down there to check out the selection of new models, but being that Calgary was still firmly ensnared in “Father Winter’s” chilly grip, I jumped at the opportunity.

A friend of mine happened to glance at my computer screen while I was researching the Honda NC700X today. He spotted its picture on the laptop screen and after a moment of admiring it exclaimed: “That’s a pretty sharp looking bike! I like the “beak” on it. Yeah it’s nice!

Suzuki Shootout: Boulevard S40 vs Boulevard S50 The Suzuki Boulevard S40 and S50 are two amazing bikes. Which one is better for a beginner though? Which one is better for you?
