Let’s play, “Where’s HFL?”!
You may have noticed that, for the last couple of days, we’ve been hiding small versions of our sheep skull logo in some of our photographs. We were doing that because we wanted to create a fun game for our readers. Because just about every other motorcycle publication on the Internet rips its content directly from HFL, these logos were scattered far and wide and now you can win fabulous prizes ...

A rebuttal to Kevin Ash’s Super Tenere review
How long will it take for western motorcycle media to understand that pure enthusiasts are not the volume drivers of this industry? Many will think Kevin Ash's recent review on HFL for the 2012 Yamaha Super Tenere is fair and balanced, but it's just as possible the criticisms leveled against the new Yamaha are misdirected and narrow in scope. I admit to having a pro-Japanese tilt, but the fact i...

2012 Yamaha Super Tenere: first ride
The 2012 Yamaha Super Tenere is being launched to the US press today, but we figured we’d get a jump on them by asking Kevin Ash, England’s most respected motorcycle reviewer, what he thought about the GS-rival. His opinion after riding it on and off-road? Well, he compares it to a Japanese cruiser. — Ed. Photos: Friedemann Kirn, Alessio Barbanti, Paul Barshon There’s no doubting which...

Photos: Honda Crosstourer Concept
Not to be confused with the VFR800X — as the name suggests, a VFR800 with faux adventure styling — the Honda Crosstourer Concept allegedly isn’t a production model and actually plans to venture off-road. We showed you the Crosstourer yesterday, but here’s a full gallery of high-res images. The frame, 1,200cc V4 and dual-clutch transmission have been lifted directly from the VFR1200. Nothin...

Photos: Honda New Mid Concept
Yesterday, we showed you the Honda New Mid Concept and poked a little fun at it for making outrageous claims like claiming to “reinvent the way we look at two wheeled travel.” It’s a maxi-scooter with the engine inside the frame, 17-inch wheels and the dual clutch transmission from the VFR. Now, look upon these high-res image and weep for the future. Here’s Honda’s official spiel: Hon...

KTM 450 Rally: bespoke Dakar race bike
This is KTM’s response to The Dakar’s new 450cc capacity limit, a bespoke race bike that has little in common with any production model. At first we assumed this was based on the 450 EXC, then we saw the massive trellis frame and the larger bore and smaller stroke, likely indicating that this engine has been tuned to rev higher for more outright power and less low-down oomph.
