Outfitting Guides

The Daytona is powered by a 765cc three cylinder engine cranking out a powerful 128 horsepower. This allows the bike to fly on the streets and makes for a fun and exciting ride. Good low end torque and plenty of useful mid-range power paired to a six speed transmission, is a great combination for a fun road bike. 

Suzuki gives their tour de force a full slate of electronic rider aids - ride modes, anti-lock brakes, traction control, throttle by wire, and more. Right off the showroom floor, with an average rider, the Suzuki GSX-R1000R could win races at any track.

Suzuki took their hard-core canyon carving GSX-R sportbike and remixed it into the GSX-S for better street use with a more upright riding position. The Suzuki GSX-S1000 and GSX-S750 are naked-style sportbikes that are easier to live with day-to-day but no less sporty when the roads get twisty. It took 30 years, but Suzuki came back around to making sporty...

2021 is the 50th anniversary of the original Moto Guzzi V7 Sport, featuring the engine that all-modern Guzzi "big block" V-twins evolved from. The V7 III may no longer be the sportiest of Guzzi's, but the retro cafe racer look and modern chassis make it a stylish and fun daily commuter or weekend canyon carver.

It’s this perfect package of power and agility that puts this bike on a pedestal. The 390 Duke is nothing short of ideal for A2 licensed riders, but even seasoned veterans will have miles of fun on the nimble Rocket. Mix into all this the KTM’s signature aggressive, sporty styling, and voila – you’ll be riding the ultimate street bike.

The 790 Duke is the quintessential street bike that combines all the best parts of its competitors into one motorcycle. We’re not saying it’s a copycat, though, far from it. The fact of the matter just is than when it comes to hitting the pavement, few do it better than The Scalpel – in anyone.

The standard Indian Springfield bagger comes dressed up with hard bags, cop bike windshield, and classic lightbar. Unfortunately, those factory driving lights and the headlight are old tech halogen units, though the turn signals and taillights are all LEDs. The Springfield Dark Horse is the stripped-down muscle bagger and doesn't come equipped with any driving lights. Either way, count on...

The Indian Vintage takes the classic American motorcycle look to the extreme, tassels and all. With the name of “Vintage,” it should be no surprise that the motorcycle has an old-school look to pay homage to its heritage. If you’re in the market for a cruiser with classic looks but modern amenities, look no further than the Indian Vintage.

Consider upgrading your 2021 Indian Chief headlights with D7 LED Light Kit because of its wide field of view, ideal for late night rides. The D7s also have the ability to increase the brightness of the lights in seconds to dual intensity at the flick of a switch. This is possible thanks to DENALI’s plug-and-play Dual-Intensity Controller making it easy...

When the Z900 was introduced in 2017, it improved the previous Z800 model in practically every way. The 948cc Z900 is a comfortable, confidence-inspiring street ride. The goodies introduced in the 2020 model, such as traction control and power modes, further improved an already excellent bike. But even with all the improvements and rider aids in the world, you can still...

the Kawasaki Z125 Pro. These little bikes put big fun on their 12in wheels, with a fuel-injected 125cc single that can hit more than 60 miles an hour even with a full-sized rider. The affordable price of entry has made customizing minis just as popular as riding them. The Kawasaki Z125 Pro combines naked streetfighter looks in a small package that...

The Kawasaki Versys-X 300 can be outfitted with hard bags and run at freeway speeds, but it is less touring bike and more adventure than most. Kawasaki will happily outfit you with luggage, racks, and crash guards, but their lighting leaves much to be desired. DENALI LEDs provide more options, more illumination, and fewer demands of the small bike’s charging...

The Kawasaki Versys 650 is a good bike for a lot of different riders and purposes. The parallel twin puts out a reasonable amount of power, but lacks the big top-end hit of a four-cylinder sportbike, but that’s better for inexperienced riders anyway. Tuned for plenty of torque throughout the powerband, the Versys is a great bike for everyday commuting...

Kawasaki brought back the H2 monicker now under the Ninja line, and luckily, it lives up to the predecessor's legend. The Ninja H2R was introduced in 2015 as a ridiculous 300 hp, non-road legal race bike. The most horsepower ever from a major manufacturer. Shortly after, Kawasaki toned it down for a road-legal 200hp model, the Ninja H2. 

Vitpilen translates from Swedish to English – is an aggressively styled bike whose looks set it apart from your usual café racers. On a superficial glance, its futuristic look could be confused with its Svartpilen sibling. But a closer look reveals an even more streamlined design and racer-like riding ergonomics that just beg for speed. For an entry-level bike, The Vitpilen’s...

the Svartpilen is all about looks, though. Its compact single-cylinder engine – either 692cc or 373cc depending on whether you’re riding the 701 or 401 model – propels you down tight urban streets with power and sureness. It’s a testament to the bike’s quality that Husqvarna made no changes whatsoever going from the 2020 model to 2021.

Like the Grom, the Monkey has been a huge hit with urban riders, college students, and oldsters looking for a quick trip down memory lane on the way to Whole Foods and REI. And, lord knows, those aging hipsters need to be kept safe in traffic—to see the road and to be seen by others—because, you know, hip replacement surgeries...

But let’s not forget that part of the Grom’s charm is that it’s actually a pretty okay, pretty practical motorcycle considering its size. With awesome mileage and such a small footprint, the Grom has found favor with commuters and college students alike, they’re everywhere, like mice at the State University salad bar. And being a daily ride means the Grom...
