Yamaha Super Tenere vs BMW Adventure vs KTM 990 Adventure R
The video was taken by the KTM rider. All 3 bikes are fully loaded with factory extras and in addition loaded with about 110 kilos of stuff for 15 days tour through the Alps. The road is completely unknown to us, also in our country (Cyprus) we drive on the opposite than the rest of Europe. basically the fun starts after the small tunnel. Super Tenere proved to be faster than the other two bikes. Better electronics TC ABS CBS 2 engine maps. Fuel 5 best 6.5 worst for Tenere, 5.5 best 7.2 worst for BMW Adventure.

Girl's Bike
Virginia's Harley
Over the past year, I’ve documented Virginia's creation of this motorcycle. The bike started as a stock '96 XL1200c, and through many hours of late nights, dirty fingernails and torn gloves, Virginia was able to complete the bike you see her riding today. The bike above covers about 6 months of building from January to June of 2015. Because neither of us had a lot of experience building motorcycles, we pulled knowledge and advice from the people around us, and through lots of information online.
We're both happy to see the bike complete, and even more happy to present to you our journey through it. Virginia Hall and Jay Cagney are recently engaged, and live in rural Northern New Jersey. Virginia is a Senior UX Designer and Jay works full time managing a video production department, as well as a freelance photo and video career.
Babes Ride Out
Babes Ride Out founders Ashmore Ellis and Anya Violet wanted to create an environment where women can come together to share their cross country journeys, triumphs, close calls and disasters on the bike. GoPro Production Artists Tina Marchman and Annemarie Hennes joined these five hundred ladies in Joshua Tree for this women’s only event. See what happens when they hit the open road.
Dream A '12 Suzuki TU250x Story
From the age of 7, when motorbikes enthralled her with their looks, sound and sense of freedom, Jodie made it her dream to surround herself with bikes. Throughout her life bikes had always been there on the side, until she made the decision to make a career change. This is the story of the pursuit of dreams.
Sister A '94 Yamaha SRV250 Story
Both originally from Sweden, Maria and her best friend, Nina, love to ride. They ride to work, to catch up, to head out for coffee on weekends. For the first time, they spontaneously decide to pack swags onto their bikes, head out of Sydney and camp on the first secluded beach they find.

Benelli TNT 25, the cheapest CKD motorcycle to be sold in India. The Italian brand has priced the single-cylinder TNT 25 attractively to take on a slew of rivals in the segment, like the KTM Duke 200. The Benelli TNT 25 is powered by a 250cc engine and is aimed towards those who want comfort.
Autocar India First Ride
Benelli TNT 25 vs KTM Duke 200
Benelli TNT 25 against one of the best entry-level street-fighters in the Indian market, the KTM Duke 200. The Benelli TNT 25 comes in via the CKD route and is thus more expensive than the locally manufactured KTM Duke 200. However, the Italian bike boasts of more displacement, power and torque over the Austrian motorcycle.

R/C Audi R8 VS Audi R8 V10
Drag Race Special
An Audi R8 V10 is a seriously fast supercar. But is it faster than a radio-controlled equivalent? We've got a 1/6th scale Losi 6IX Audi R8 LMS car to put it up against. Watch as we test them head-to-head over a standing quarter mile, or thereabouts, to see which comes out on top in our festive drag race special. Ho-ho-bleedin'-ho.
Imitation drag race for BMW M3 RC
RC Car vs Twin Turbo Corvette
We got to play around racing one of our modified RC cars against a twin turbo C5 Corvette. Normally the Vette makes over 1000hp but he turned it down a little so it wouldn't spin too bad. There was nothing staged, this is as real as it gets.

Mazda Miata MX-5 Generations Review
The Ultimate Mazda MX-5 Generations Review & Shoot-Out
We put all four generations of Mazda MX-5 through their paces on track, find out what they’re like to drive and explore the progress that’s been made over 25 years. There’s also the appearance of a certain turbocharged Mk1 MX-5 just to spice things up a bit!
Which is Best? - Driving all Four MX5 / Miatas - Everyday Driver Comparison Review
With the introduction of the latest MX-5/Miata, we gathered equivalent versions of the four generations for a back to back drive. Along the way we discuss the history, changes, and most-enjoyable versions of this icon. In the end we find some surprises, and discover we still don't agree about this car.
25 Years of Miata - Jay Leno's Garage
25 Years of Miata. Bob Hall and Tom Matano tell Jay about the creation and evolution of Mazda's iconic sports car in celebration of its 25th year in production.
Is the Mazda MX-5 Any Good?
Chris Harris has been known to not like the Mazda MX-5, even calling it dirty words in an article a few years back. Now he gets to support his point by swapping his Ferrari 599 with Cameraman and Editor Neil Carey's NA Mazda MX-5. Was Chris wrong a few years ago?
This 3.0 V6 Build Is My Perfect MX-5
The Mk1 Mazda MX-5 is a pure, lightweight and nimble sports car with character, charm and pop-ups. So what happens when you stick a 3.0-litre V6 under the bonnet?

2016 Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin Review
With a coelacanthean return many years in the making, the hard-charging, adventure-seeking, Honda Africa Twin is finally back on the scene! Designed with a two-word directive to “go anywhere,” the buzz around the new 2016 Africa Twin has certainly been well-earned. Between the Africa Twin’s pedigree of excellence in some of the most challenging races in the world, to the renewed vigor with which the Honda team came out swinging in the latest iteration, it’s easy to understand the palpable excitement surrounding the Africa Twin and its quest to re-assert itself amongst the upper echelon of adventurers. In the Honda Africa Twin 2016 Review, Spurgeon heads out to Moab, UT to become better acquainted with this maverick of the moto-world, and to welcome the retired rock star back to the party.

Honda Africa Twin vs BMW R1200GS Adventure review
Watch us pit the Honda Africa Twin against the BMW R1200GS Adventure on and off the road. Things weren't entirely plain-sailing when we ventured off-road on the 263kg GS - but we did bump into a famous face.

Honda Off-Road Centre With The Africa Twin
We spent a fantastic couple of days in sunny Wales with the guys from the Dave Thorpe Honda Off-Road Centre. It gave us the chance to get the Africa Twin in some mud.
