This new version of the Enfield Electra may look the same, and to be fair in alot of ways that count it is, but in fact it features an all new unit construction engine with fuel-injection, dragging it kicking and screaming…

Moto Guzzi V7 Classic (2008-current)

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 19:56:00 +0000

Fri, 16 May 2008 18:48:00 +0000

Basically, perhaps very basically, the Harley-Davidson XR1200R is a good bike. Dynamically the XR1200R performs and handles better than any Harley before. It’s brisk (if not exactly fast), fun to throw around and looks good, too. The main disappointment is…
