I’m skimming over a thoroughly potholed logging road in the shadow of the Chief just outside Squamish, BC. Below me is the Konker KSM200, a diminutive supermoto and one of the first wave of the storm of Chinese motorcycles to reach our shores.

2007 Benelli TNT 1130 Cafe Racer – A Spartan Warrior’s Soul
The woman in the silver Nissan Xterra, swathed in west coast urban adventurer garb, looks on gape-jawed as the bike slides up parallel. The bike moves forward slightly and the Xterra edges alongside again blocking traffic. Consideration for a bike in Vancouver? No, this is something else.

2007 Aprilia Tuono 1000 R: Ride Impression
Flashback; imagine yourself back in grade school, riding your first mountain bike with the big wide handlebars and the comfy seat.

Until now the Griso has been an enigma to me, a strange blend of cruiser, sportbike, and…
Evader EV1000 – Move over WMD, meet WMT
Realization hits me with a sopping wet thud of a bug (you know the juicy kind) splattering, driven by hurricane force into my visor; this may be the most socially relevant two-wheeler I’ve had the honor of twisting the throttle of. The Evader EV1000, or ERA, silently whisks me up to a respectable city traffic…
