The 2024 Yamaha R1 is one of the fastest sport bikes you can buy. The R1 competes with liter bikes such as the CBR1000RR, the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R, and the BMW S1000RR. And like those bikes, the R1 uses racetrack technology, but comes with a license plate, turn signals, and even a rear seat. Making power for the R1 is a 998cc inline four-cylinder engine, derived from their MotoGP engine. The R1 is the top dog in the Yamaha sport bike lineup, producing 197 hp and 83 lb-ft of torque – incredibly high for a bike that weighs just 443 pounds wet.

Adventure bikes are the SUVs of the two-wheeled world. They are go-anywhere vehicles that can carry a whole lot more than the usual motorcycle. For example, a full-sized ADV is designed to carry a pillion and enough baggage for two on a long trip. That means you need more power to lug the extra heft, and some manufacturers today are taking power figures for ADVs almost as seriously as their supersport models. Manufacturers like KTM have always hung their hat on a crazy peak power figure, but of late, even usually sober brands like BMW, Suzuki, and even Harley-Davidson are getting in on the act of producing an adventure bike with a headlining power figure. We’ve picked ten of the scariest ones that beginners should stay away from.

Supermotos are a niche category in the two-wheeler world. Accordingly, only a few enthusiastic bikemakers set aside funds to truly explore things and whip up capable supermotos. Harley-Davidson, to noone’s surprise, is not one of the names that come to mind, as the American giant focuses on what it’s good at - cruiser motorcycles.

Fallston, MD

There’s nothing more exhilarating than the throaty sounds of a vintage Trans-Am racer carving its way through a road course as it downshifts into the legendary corkscrew at Laguna Seca Raceway. The scent of race fuel and rubber adds to the adrenalin rush that leaves an indelible mark on anyone who has experienced it. That passion inspired Steve Ramsey of Fallston, Maryland, to create that combination of vintage looks and potent performance in this wicked ’63 Ford Falcon GT. The Falcon’s diminutive size made it a perfect model to transform into a modern-day Trans-Am-style asphalt-burner by packing every inch of it with a speed shop’s-worth of go-fast goods and making it ferocious on the street, road course, or even the dragstrip, while delivering plenty of dependability.
