MOTORCYCLE REVIEW: Roar WildKaT Customized to Size

You know the drill. You see the motorcycle, you love its looks—it’s the bike of your dreams. Then you throw a leg over, and it’s just not right. The seat is too high, the pegs are too far forward, the handlebars too wide. Sure, you could change those items, adding even more money to the motorcycle’s price and leaving you with dust-gathering spare parts. If only, like Goldilocks, you could find the motorcycle that fits just right…

MOTORCYCLE REVIEW: 2010 Honda VT1300 Interstate

I’m a sportbike gal at heart but when I heard about Honda’s newest custom cruisers, the VT1300 line, I had to check them out. There are three bikes based on the same platform: The Sabre differs from the other two with its muscular styling, skinnier front tire and chromed engine; the Stateline and Interstate have blacked-out engines and a retro look with their deeply valanced fenders and wider handlebars.

MOTORCYCLE REVIEW: Harley-Davidson Dyna Wide Glide Gets A Makeover

Im always a little nervous when Harley-Davidson takes a particular model out of its line-up thats been there for more than a decade, especially one that is a favorite of mine.

READER MOTORCYCLE REVIEW: 2009 Harley-Davidson V-Rod

I just traded my 2002 Harley-Davidson Sportster Hugger for a 2009 Harley-Davidson V-Rod and wish I would have done it sooner. Im only 5-foot-4-1/2 and couldnt find anything that fit me. There were other Harleys that were lower; however, they were so wide I couldnt get my legs around them and still reach the ground.
