MOTORCYCLE REVIEW: 2012/2013 Harley-Davidson Softail Slim

The Softail Slim, released as a midyear 2012 model, is an all-new bobber-style motorcycle from Harley-Davidson. Its based on the Fat Boy platform, with a similar front end and an extremely low profile. The Slim now shares the title as Harleys lowest motorcycle with the newly released CVO Breakout, both with a seat height of 23.8 inches.

PRODUCT REVIEW WITH VIDEO: Convertible Riding Sunglasses for Women

I’m pretty picky when it comes to motorcycle riding sunglasses. They have to fit just right and not cause my head to ache after hours of wearing them on my bike. With that in mind, I’m impressed with Bobster’s efforts at making female-oriented riding glasses, including the first convertible sunglasses for women riders.

Tinted Visor Insert Eliminates Need for Sunglasses

A full-face helmet is the ultimate in head protection when riding a motorcycle, but when you slip on a pair of sunglasses under the helmet, things get complicated. E-Tint eliminates all these issues with technology that was developed for US Air Force pilots. The term “e-Tint” stands for “electronic tint,” a clear visor that tints electronically to adjust to varying light conditions.

MOTORCYCLE REVIEW: 2012 Suzuki GSX-R600

There’s a reason why so many women choose the Suzuki GSX-R600 when shopping for a sportbike. The chassis and seat are narrow and relatively low, allowing for an easy reach to the ground for even the shortest of riders (that includes me, at 5-foot-2). Throttle response is smooth but powerful enough to feed the jollies fluttering around in your stomach in anticipation of a ride on this bike.
