A middleweight Ducati Superbike is not exactly a new concept, so why is there so much buzz about the release of the 2008 Ducati 848 Superbike? At first glance the 848 appears to be a de-tuned and rebadged 1098. In fact, the new bike shares the majority of its basic architecture with 1098 but at the heart is a purpose built L-Twin Evoluzione powerplant that purportedly puts out an impressive 134 hp and 96 lb-ft of torque. To put that into perspective, its 11 hp and 25 lb-ft of torque more than the Testastretta-powered 998. Watch the video and then read the full review at www.motorcycle-usa.com

Zipping past an unexpected Border Patrol checkpoint near Tecate, California, we lean into a banked turn pinned in fourth-gear with the tach hovering near redline on Kawasaki's best-selling sportbike. But it's not what you think. No border agents or any other government officials are scrambling to run us down with flashing lights blazing because, lucky for us, Kawasaki's best-selling sportbike is the Ninja 250R.

Motoring at a rapid pace up the coast past Cambria and San Simeon, it is easy to fall in love with the Yamaha FJR1300. We already discovered as much in our previous S-T comparos, with the FJR victorious in 2004 and just falling short in 2006. If it was to be victorious this year, it would be a real upset, as our Tuning Fork test bikes, which included the ABS-equipped standard and auto-shifting AE version, were 2007 models - the only '07s in our testing cadre. Approaching the darkened mountains of Big Sur, we charged through the dark for our Monterey hotel beds in the refined comfort and immediate confidence radiating from the Yamaha. Whereas most bikes headline with the motor, the highlight of the FJR, by far, is its stellar handling. Every rider in our entourage commented on the natural feedback and feel offered up by the sporty ride. Read the entire motorcycle comparison test at www.motorcycle-usa.com

The 2008 WR250R and WR250X aren't anything like the existing slew of 250cc 4-stroke machines from Yamaha. The familiar WR model, the 250F enduro, has a totally different engine, chassis, suspension, computer, seat, you name it. The same goes for the YZ250F motocrosser which is even further away in the Yammie quarter-liter lineup. Go to MotorcycleUSA.com to read the entire Yamaha WR250 dirt bike review.
