What’s the deal with Yamaha’s new three-cylinder?

How Ducati Skyhook semi-active suspension works
There are two main technical advances on the 2013 Ducati Multistrada 1200.

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.

But that doesn't mean all the questions are answered, and the two big ones are, do you want it? And will we get it on sport bikes?
