		<description><![CDATA[Truly, another chapter of world motorcycling history is being written as we breathe. Just as the European factories withered in the shadow of the Japanese Goliath in the &#8217;60s and &#8217;70s, European manufacturers are coming back into their own as the global market changes.
Case in point is Austrian manufacturer KTM. Once just known to off-road [...]]]></description>

Above is the latest teaser photo from Suzuki for its mid-displacement adventure bike that is expected to be fully unveiled later this year.  A few things are now relatively clear, including (1) the new bike will have conventional forks like the existing V-Strom 650, and (2) the engine case (at least on the left side) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently purchased a 2010 Triumph Street Triple R and though it&#8217;s not my favorite bike ever (yet), it really has a lot going for it. It&#8217;s light, fast, comfortable and very fun to ride. It&#8217;s ironic that Triumph, that rose phoenix-like from the ruins of the British motorcycle industry, is now beating the Japanese [...]]]></description>

The rumors have been there for awhile, and now Suzuki is teasing the introduction of a middleweight adventure bike on its U.S. motorcycle site.  The silhouette of the new motorcycle appears on the Suzuki motorcycle home page (screenshot above).  I don&#8217;t know about you, but the silhouette looks a lot like the current V-Strom models to us.  Nevertheless, [...]]]></description>

Three-quarters of a liter. If you remember the &#8217;70s, &#8217;80s and &#8217;90s, that displacement category dominated the streetbike market. Not too big, not too small, a perfect blend of light weight and big-bore power. The 750 was so popular, in fact, that the Reagan-era International Trade Comission even picked it as the dividing line between [...]]]></description>

This is a picture of the Kawasaki W650 that was available for sale in the United States for just a couple of years (I believe 2000 and 2001).  It was available in other markets until 2008, and was generally well-received by both the press and enthusiasts who bought one. 
It is rumored that Kawasaki is about [...]]]></description>
