The B-King as smooth a ride as it was, seemed to be more of a disappointment. The disappointment seemed to be more in the styling rather than the performance. With a Hayabusa engine, this bike by no means is slow, however, it seemed a little strange looking from a third person view. Yes, the bike itself was comfortable and is well designed for long distance rides, but perhaps my style leans more into super sport rather than sport touring.

The first things I noticed about the B-King were the huge dual undertail pipes flaring out of the bike, and the fat rear tire. The pipes and fat tire will definitely make for some interesting aftermarket options. This is supposed to the the standard version “Hayabusa.” Suzuki claimed it to be “the ultimate in naked bikes.”

I’m out on a nice day test riding the new 2008 Triumph Street Triple. Very nice bike. Handles like and has the feel of a Daytona 675. The only difference is you are sitting in an upright position.
Oh, and I hope you enjoy listening to Champion of My Heart by my man, Carlos Knight. He provides the background music to my POV Test Ride Vid. Check out his page.

So I got a chance to take the baby Street Triple out for a ride, and I was quite impressed. My better half came along as well and I have never felt more comfortable carrying a passenger as I had on the Street Triple.

Hello everyone and welcome to my second article. I am pleased to announce that MotoTestRide.com will now be appearing in Inline Performance Magazine. My latest review is the BRP Can-Am Spyder demo that I announced on MotoTestRide.com a few weeks ago. I had a great time and I am thrilled to share it with everyone. Let me start out by making something very clear. I had a difficult time rating this bike because in all honesty… it is not a motorcycle. Keep in mind that you still need a motorcycle endorsement to operate it.

The Spyder has 3 wheels, but they are arranged a little differently than what motorcylists are used to. BRP Can-Am has developed what they call “the Y factor,” and based the design of the Spyder around it. There are two wheels up front, and one in the rear. This makes the spyder not only one-of-a-kind to look at, but definitely one of a kind to ride.
