I use the regular suspects in the USA.

Motorcycledaily.com (pretty dead place) Used to live up to it’s name but haven’t been *daily* for a LOOOOONG time, not to mention Dirck banned me for calling the Aprilia SRV850 a Sperm whale with lipstick (rubbed him in a weird way for some reason 🤷‍♂️) , LOL. I still enjoy reading the comment’s section.

Motorcycle.com (Disqus supported).

Cycleworld.com (something else than Disqus used for posting, so I don’t).

Motorcyclistonline.com (I comment as a Guest).

All 3 run by the same iron fist, money hungry & influenced parent company, can’t recall it’s name tho.
They should get their act together and use DISQUS on all 3 sites.
Also, don’t be surprised if one or a few of your comments mysteriously disappears.
I called out MotoGuzzi in a Motorcycle.com article for going back to a multipiece crank construction on one of their late model bikes and my mild criticism comment got taken to Guantanamo Bay for some “water boarding holidays” never to be seen again.

Non USA based Alternatives (because we want to know what we are missing and not missing):

Motociclismo.it (Italian website, use google translate or something else to translate for you unless you know Italian too, actively updated and maintained).

Motoblog.it (Another Italian, more of a “flashy and way less substance” than Motociclismo.it).

1000ps.at (another foreign site, translator required).

Visordown.com (UK site).

Motorcyclenews.com (another UK site).

🥲🥲 ….so what’s the alternative website for legit motorcycle news articles & official HD images for us now..??

The short version: He called it quits. It was during last year on April Fools Day.
I didn’t believe him at the time but as time went by things became more and more transparent, he had had it with this gig.

What happened to Jensen Beeler & Asphalt and Rubber team? Does anyone know why they’re not updating nowadays….??

“slab side”…
it’s a flat wall of plastic

It does looks very “plastic fantastic” compared to the bigger AT1100.
Can’t quite put my finger on what’s causing this.🤔

I like the shape of it but their color designs have been lacking. Classic 3-tone blue/white is what it should have, especially now with Kawasaki and Honda pulling off the classic liveries.

Apparently still for sale in the USA.
Man, she looks so mediocre. I miss the Early and Mid 2000’s so much. 😢

Just noticed it’s not totally discontinued, in Europe due to their regulations but it’s available in Australia as a ’23 model, maybe USA too?

By the time it comes back it probably will be electric. 😒👎💩
If it ever comes back, as you said.

I know it’s claimed to be temporary but it is a bombshell! People very much care about superbikes they just don’t want to pay the price for a new one.

There have been rumors about updates to the ‘current’ model for the last couple of years. It could be quite a while before the GSXR returns IF it does.

Less and less people care about superbikes nowadays. 10 years ago this would’ve been a bombshell; today, it’s almost not newsworthy. Besides, it’s rumoured that this is just temporary and that they will soon launch a completely new model, with a MotoGP-derived engine – counter-rotating crankshaft and all.

Yes… The secret to the T-7 success!

I agree.. styling is identical to the swarms of bikes you see in SE Asia…
