Although not as radically changed as the 2013 R1200GS, the F800GS takes a leap forward with the addition of an Adventure model added to BMW's 2014 middleweight lineup. On the surface, it might appear that the F800GS has simply been restyled to create the Adventure, but updates to the...
First things first: this is not a reincarnation of the DN-01, Honda's overpriced, oddly styled scooter experiment. What you're looking at is the 2014 Honda CTX700 and CTX700N, the latter of which, at the right angle, reminded me of a poor man's Ducati Diavel when I first laid eyes on it during...

Kawasaki's Z1000 has long been one of our favorite naked streetbikes, earning the distinction of being named Cycle World's Best Standard in 2010 and 2011. Now, though, there's a new Z1000 in town, a fourth-generation bike that the company says is harder edged and visually tighter, while also...
