May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, so we thought we'd get share some advice on safe riding.
Motorcyclists know how much skill is required in riding. You have to be aware of your bike, the road, the traffic around you, and most importantly, yourself, when you get behind the handlebars.
But even the safest, most experienced riders can still make mistakes. That’s why we’re presenting a series of articles on motorcycle safety, because you can never be too safe.
Rider Education, Injuries and Fatalities
Time for a reality check Whether you have decades of experience or are a newbie, it pays to realistically size up this activity called "riding a motorcycle," and to look at yourself as a lifelong learner.
Insurance Basics
How much coverage do you need? Are you and your motorcycle insured well enough to satisfy your state's legal guidelines, as well as your own risk tolerance? You owe it to yourself and those who care about you to be sure you are up to date.

2009 Supersport Racetrack Shootout |
|
Mar 10, 2009 - 11:38 AM - by Admin

It's a reasonable thing for most enthusiasts visiting this illustrious webzine to expect our reviews of motorcycles to be conclusive. After all, when we factor in the talents of our current crew of "volunteer staff", our collective experiences span nearly a century of riding and getting to know just about every make and model of bike available for the past 30 years. So plucking out the best should be as easy as getting out of bed, right?
Oh, if only it were so easy. Sometimes even the pros are left scratching their noggins like a small party of confused chimps. Such is the case with the 2009 crop of Japanese Supersports.
Riding a bike closer to the edge of its performance envelope – especially in this group of race-developed steeds – will make known things about a bike's character that street riding simply cannot expose. Thus it's time to for us to move on to the second half our evaluation in our annual Supersport Shootout.

2009 Supersport Shootout |

The 600s go into battle: Honda CBR600RR vs. Kawasaki ZX-6R vs. Suzuki GSX-R600 vs. Yamaha YZF-R6
Everyone loves a close fight. Whether it's Ali and Foreman duking it out for a full 12 rounds or if it's the Steelers eking out a narrow victory over the Cardinals in the Superbowl, a closely contested match-up is always fun to watch.
Which is why our annual Supersport Shootout never fails to attract loads of eyeballs to Motorcycle.com. It's a never-ending tussle of one-upsmanship among the Japanese manufacturers, as models that ruled in one year often get usurped by the latest and greatest newly developed contenders.

How Well Do You Know Your Motorcycle?
Getting to know your bike as well as you can still makes a lot of sense. Learning how things work and what systems or components need the most attention will at least reduce your bike's chances of a premature failure and could also prevent a crash.

2008 Benelli Tre1130K Review
For some riders it's not enough to ride just any bike. The cookie-cutter sportbike or sport-tourer no longer satisfies. Can't bankroll a Confederate Hellcat and still want a modicum of comfort and utility? We may have your ticket: the Tre1130K.
