Make a two-wheeled statement

Drum roll please. Ok, now bring in the 2005 Road Star Warrior. Part modern-day muscle bike, part cruiser from a bygone era, the Warrior roars in as the hot rod of the new milenium. Imagine 102 cubic inches of pushrod V-Twin rumbling inside an aluminum frame with YZF-R1-derived suspension. Wrap it in stunning Star fit and finish, and you�ve got the Road Star Warrior. Precision Performance.

The Road Star Warrior�
Is the Warrior a cruiser or a sportbike? The answer is yes.

Yes, that's a pushrod, air-cooled, fuel injected, 102 cubic inch (1670cc) V-twin -- that'll blow your socks clean off.

You'll appreciate the Warrior's superior power-to-weight ratio when you dump the clutch and that 200-section rear tire hooks up. When underway, you'll also appreciate that the Warrior was designed to stop and turn like a sportbike.

The Warrior features...

� A lightweight aluminum frame
� 41mm inverted fork
� Monoblock brake calipers
� Sticky performance tires
� Three-spoke alloy wheels
� Ergo-friendly rider and passenger foot peg location
� Comfortable 2-piece seat
� New, 3D tank emblem
� Clear turn signal lenses

The Road Star Midnight Warrior version has black paint, distinctive trim and appointments throughout.

One ride and you'll know why Motorcyclist Magazine said, "It stops and turns and soaks up the bumps better than anything else in cruiserdom." No other bike feels, looks, or sounds like the Warrior.

Total performance. Total Warrior. Road Star Warrior.

Audi R8 review – verdict, specs and prices

Standard or Performance, coupe or Spyder – the current R8 is a quality, exciting and thoroughly involving supercar

The Audi R8 first appeared on the scene in 2007 and was instantly a class disruptor. Designed to rival the Porsche 911 and Aston Martin Vantage with a cutting-edge mid-engined aluminium platform and crisp naturally aspirated engines, the original R8 paired this technical brilliance with a level of quality and useability unusual for a supercar.

But only one generation later the R8 has a rather different image, one under the shadow of its threatened mortality. Why is its end near? Audi's investment in electric powertrain tech, plus the constant need to weed out heavy polluters, even in a model range as diverse as Audi's, is forcing its hand.

The current R8, itself a mild update of the second-generation model first revealed in 2017, comes exclusively with a 5.2-litre V10 engine and dual-clutch transmission, and is available in four trims: RWD, V10 quattro, Performance and Performance Carbon Black.

Amongst new-generation rivals such as the Porsche 911, McLaren's Sports Series models and the Aston Martin Vantage, its unique cocktail of a high-revving naturally aspirated engine and friendly demeanor still appeal deeply, but is the R8 now a case of 'best get it while you still can', or is this just natural selection that Audi's been shrewd enough to acknowledge?

Audi R8 in detail

  • > Engine, gearbox and technical specs - A single 5.2-litre V10 engine is the jewel in the R8's crown that's perfectly matched to a slick dual-clutch box
  • > Performance and 0-60mph time - It might lack turbos or an ocean liner-like torque figure, but the R8's performance is still electric
  • > Ride and handling - Its weight figure is still a tad on the high side, but huge grip nuanced with a delicacy and adjustability make the R8 as sweet to drive as ever
  • > MPG and running costs - Fuel consumption is not a strong point, but then long runs can squeeze over 25mpg, which realistically is about what a supersaloon is able to achieve
  • > Interior and tech - Lacking the wow factor of its predecessor maybe, but it's clean, well built and functional
  • > Design -This is where the R8 falls down, as the second take on the original R8's innovative aesthetic is contrived and sometimes awkward

Prices, specs and rivals

The R8 has just the one engine and transmission option available, but prices between the entry-level RWD and Performance Carbon Black edition vary by nearly £40,000. The RWD model is new to the R8 range for 2020, and along with its lack of front driveshafts it also has a lesser 533bhp power figure, 19-inch wheels and body-coloured side blades. At £115,890, it's less expensive than the Aston Martin Vantage, but a decent chunk more than a 911 Carrera S.

More reviews

Next up is the £129,695 R8 V10 quattro which, on top of its all-wheel-drive system and higher 562bhp power figure, also adds diamond-cut wheels, full phone integration, nappa leather trim and some contrasting black side blades to the package.

At £142,695 the V10 Performance is firmly in supercar price territory, but then this top-spec 611bhp version of the V10 and a new Performance mode make it the most dynamic and capable R8 so far. Larger 20-inch wheels, a selection of grey styling elements and carbon-ceramic brakes help explain the price rise too, but for the ultimate R8 there's the UK-market R8 Performance Carbon Black edition, which swaps out the grey elements for carbonfibre and includes Audi's magnetic dampers as standard. At £155,595 it's nearly double the price of the original R8 4.2 FSi at launch in 2007.

It's impossible to overlook the Porsche 911 as the R8's core rival, despite the Audi's supercar-like price tag and mid-engined body type putting it in the class above. At just under £100k in Carrera 4S form, the Porsche's price advantage over lesser R8s isn't quite as stark as it once was, but then it's not that far behind in performance terms. Aston Martin's Vantage is between the two when it comes to power at 503bhp, and priced somewhere between them at around £120k.

More exotic offerings include the Lamborghini Huracán Evo which starts from £165,256 in RWD form, while the Ferrari Roma should command a similar price when it arrives in the UK later this year. The Porsche 911 Turbo S is priced from £155,500, so too the McLaren Sports Series models that hover between £130k and £160k depending on the myriad of versions available. Meanwhile, McLaren's GT is £163k

2013 Ktm 690 Enduro Review

2013 Ktm 690 Enduro Review

2013 KTM 690 Enduro R

2013 KTM 690 Enduro R: A Solid Dual-Purpose Bike

I know I've talked about the 2012 version of the KTM 690 Enduro R before, but I finally got the chance to ride the 2013 model, and it definitely deserves the attention. After having been on the market for several months, the KTM offering is probably familiar to most riders, and even those who aren't should take note of this intriguing bike. The dual-purpose machine is a great option for motorists who like dirt and street riding and don't want to have to choose between the two when heading to the great outdoors.

Technical Specs - Performance and Power

2013 KTM 690 Enduro R - Engine

Powering the 2013 KTM 690 Enduro R is a water-cooled, single-cylinder engine that has a displacement of 690cc. The four-stroke, 66-horsepower engine is also more efficient than in years past, consuming less gas and allowing you to fill up the tank and get more time on the track without hurting your wallet.

The motorcycle's frame keeps the fuel tank out of the way, leaving plenty of room for a low seat and angled handlebars. The six-speed, claw-shifted transmission is easy to change no matter what the setting, and with 49 foot-pounds of torque, you should have no problem riding to wherever you need to be or conquering any type of terrain.

Off-Road vs. On The Road - Customization Is Key

2013 KTM 690 Enduro R - Brakes

One of my favorite aspects of the 2012 model is the anti-hopping clutch, an element that cancels out rear wheel chatter that they've carried through to the 2013 edition. Similarly, the electronic management system allows owners to choose from different mappings, each of which impacts how the machine distributes power. The ability to customize this to your own style of riding is a great advantage, and it can enhance your experience on dirt or roads.

There are many other ways you can tweak the bike to fit your own riding style. You can drop a tooth on the KTM 690 Enduro R's sprocket, which caters the machine to more dirt bike riding rather than pavement. It's also relatively easy to change out the motorcycle tires on the D.I.D. DirtStar rims in favor of other all-terrain items.

Final Thoughts

Despite its ergonomic design, it's still quite a large bike, and riders will have to be conscious of how they ride it. The engine may be able to handle you pushing the machine to the extremes, and the suspension makes bumps in the road seem like nothing, so it's easy to get lost in the riding experience. However, the heavy bike - it weighs more than 300 pounds without fuel - does need to be handled with some care to keep riders safe, especially when going over jumps or obstacles on dirt.

2013 Husqvarna Te511 Review

2013 Husqvarna Te511 Review

  1. I Guess I'm having some day-before-purchase jitters/second thoughts. I have little experience with dirt bikes beyond riding my brother's YZ250 around out there when I was younger. Aside from that, the past two decades have been spent primarily on sportbikes, so maybe I'm spoiled and expecting too much in terms of reliability from a thumper?
    I'm buying this bike primarily as a desert bike, but it will most definitely see a goodly amount of day to day use as well on the road, running errands and whatnot. Am I mistaken in thinking it will handle that kind of duty well or am I walking a path towards maintenance hell?

    Will it handle highway use well?

    Am I buying the wrong bike..?

    Help ease my mind!

  2. Highways it will do but I'd keep it short. It doesn't have a wide ratio transmission. Running some errands with it shouldn't be bad but it wouldn't be ideal for long commutes to work. They are really reliable but won't be anything like a sport bike.
  3. And to ease your mind, completely worth it :)

    There are many threads here discussing the 449/511. Do some research to get it set-up right and it should be a desert weapon.

    Good info here... http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/449-511-recap-and-info.32676/

  5. I would not want mine for a daily driver. It is a race bike with a plate. If you use it on the highway very much, you
    Won't like the handling. It requires frequent maintenance, more than most dual sports. It will probably need
    rebuilt around 15 or 20 thousand miles. If you want a commuter and a husky, a terra would be a better choice.
    The bike is really for dirt riding, with the ability to connect the trails. Look at huskys website.
    That being said, I love the bike, it is a ball to ride. But it is what it is..
  6. Oh, it's definitely not going to be a commuter. I would just like for it to handle a little daily grind now and then. Beyond that it will be mainly a desert/fun bike for connecting trails in Anza Borrego, etc. My days of commuting on two wheels are over, over, over!
    As for handling, I'm not even remotely concerned with that. How good can a dirt bike possibly handle on the road, anyway? Haha.

    I usually do 12-15 miles of road work to get to the local areas to ride my 449. A 511 has a little more grunt but the same bike otherwise. It works fine as long as you don't try to drag a knee on pavement. Buy it for what its designed for and you won't be disappointed.
  8. Thanks! I live on the coast, and the desert is a good 60 miles away, so riding to the trails seems out of the question unless, again, I'm mistaken about this bike's capability. Even so, I think I'd prefer to truck it out there and have a base camp to return to at the end of the day in most cases.

    But I guess that's more of what I'm trying to get a feel for. Can I, in fact, make that 50-60 mile ride at 45-50mph to get to my trails, ride In/camp, then ride home? Or am I just better off trucking it there?
    I understand it's not an adventure bike or anything. I'd like to be able to ride there, but it's not a dealbreaker if I can't.

    If you are commuting non superslab and less than 30 miles or so it will be fine. You will have to change your oil a lot and it is not ideal but will do it fine. If you are doing 80% off road and just using it to commute sometimes to break up the monotony then it will be fine. If you plan to ride it ever day down the highway for 40 plus miles you will hate it.

    Very possible / doable but not ideal. I did that last summer. Rode epic off road gnarly trail for three days and then rode it 70 miles home.

    Gday Socal, I ride mine to and from dirt rides. if your expectaions of a super fun dirt squirter with a plate is it, you are not going wrong. I run mine to and from the local shops as well and as long as your happy to cruise down the black stuff and not road race it is more than adequate.
  12. Check out how good this bike toys with factory purpose built SM bikes by simply mounting 21/18 street tires and $170 front brake setup.... Watch the whole thing ! :)

    Fuel will be an issue at 60 miles to trailside, if you have hands like me they will be asleep before you get to the dirt.
    Your title to this question is "TE511 reliability as a daily ride?" but your not really talking about daily rides are you? If so then yes the bike is reliable but there are much better choices than this one (maintenance, comfort, range, parts etc..). If your trucking in, its a great bike.

    To me - investing in handlebars / dampeners when dual sporting a dirt bike is probably one of the best investments you can make! I'm not too keen on TE449 or 511, but my 250 makes my hands numb after riding 20 minutes on road. Not sure if bigger bores would be worse or better - but I have a different 450 with aftermarket handlebars and dampener - 0 vibration and I could ride it on road all day without going numb.

    For some this works, didn't work for me with Fasst Flex bars and dampeners. This is the only bike of three I own that I have this issue with this bad though. Its fine in the dirt, hell on the street at speed for me.

    Yah I guess it may just depend on the bike.. Don't mean to derail the reliability topic. But couldn't help to mention the vibration on pavement. I didn't think it was bad on my TE250 cause I was riding it mostly off road. Then I took a few longer trips on road - and vibration through the handlebars is what really keeps me from riding more on pavement with that particular bike, and I believe it's true with TE449 and 511's..

    Solid bikes just need to change the oil often is the biggest issue as others have stated if you do longer trips

  18. Great onfo, guys I appreciate it. I pushed back my purchase a day or two so I can get some more info and figure out if this really is the right bike for me.
    Figure as long as I'm realistic with my expectations it'll be great. At this point it's looking fine for around town, but I'll have to truck it to the desert, which is fine.

    And keep plenty of oil filters on hand!

    Tuffy and McKay like this.
  19. Should be fine on fuel. There are a few places to fill up depending were you enter the state park and at opposite ends. Julian, Borrego Springs, Salton sea, Ocotillo. But yeah, it does sound like vibration could cause issues for me on longer road rides. My hands go numb on long mountain bike rides.

    Flexx bars, Highwaydirtbikes anti-vibes and Scott's damper cured my handle bar vibration. My bars flex as far as two inches out at the tips and are synced with my forks to absorb first impacts. Small impacts, even wash-board roads feel smooth again.

Harley Davidson Troubleshooting Guide

Harley-Davidson is an American motorcycle manufacturer founded in Wisconsin in 1903. Although Harley-Davidson's are known for being well-engineered, like any machine they can still occasionally have mechanical problems. It is recommended that a certified mechanic conduct any extensive machinery work on the motorcycle for safety reasons. However, any Harley rider can pursue a brief troubleshooting and repair session at home with ease.

Step 1

Check the fluids in the upper portion of the front forks and the shocks. They must be topped off and fully-sealed. An oil leak can cause loss of control, reduce contact patch integrity, and force tires to bounce on rough pavement.

Step 2

Adjust the carburetor to lessen a rough idle or to eliminate sputtering when starting. To do so, turn the carburetor screw with a wrench until you get a desired fuel flow to run the motor smoothly.

Step 3

Test the battery to ensure maximum power. An auto supply store will usually test the battery for free. Batteries generally fail in three ways: not charging; not holding the charge; or not releasing a charge under load. The headlights won't work with one of the first two problems. If the battery isn't releasing the charge, the headlights can still work but the engine won't turn over. Replace the battery if needed.

Step 4

Inspect the bike for any visible damage. Harley-Davidson recalled many 2008 models for cracks in the fuel filter shell, and they recalled several 2009 and 2010 models to reinforce the front fuel tank mounts. A crack in this area can result in a loss of fuel pressure, which causes frequent stalls and loss of performance.

Ensure that air pressure is at an appropriate level. Allow the bike to remain stationary few hours, then test again. Low air pressure can indicate a leak in the air tubing extending from each shock, or fork tube, to the Schrader valve. Be sure to also inspect the tubing for kinks, cracks or leaks. Replace any tubing, or fittings, that are damaged.
