We spent much of this week testing various configurations of the 2021 Yamaha WR450F. The WR is a true-blue off-road bike, as recognized by the EPA.

The second of three rounds of the 2021 Monster Energy Supercross season took place at Atlanta Motor Speedway under conditions that were a complete change up.

After a two-week break, the 2021 Monster Energy Supercross season resumed at Atlanta Motor Speedway this week. This was a day race on the infield of a super speedway, and although that begs obvious comparison with Daytona, the track was quite different in layout and soil, with light rain complicating the situation. That moisture played […]
This week we got to swing a leg over the 2021 Husqvarna FE501S dual-sport bike. This bike is like a crossbreed of two other bikes we tested recently; the Husqvarna FE501 dirt-only model and the KTM 500EXC dual-sport.

Kawasaki didn’t try to overthink the KX250X. It’s basically a motocross bike with off-road suspension. In the case of a 250 four-stroke, that’s good; it already has a smooth power delivery that works off-road. Still, there are some things it needs to complete the transformation. We started off by switching to the white coupler for […]
