Email Print Off-Road Motorcycles

Off-road motorcycles include the Husqvarna TE 449, KTM 300XC-W, Kawasaki KX450F, Suzuki RMX450Z, Aprilia RXV 5.5 and Zero X.

Off-Road motorcycles cover a fairly large segment of two-wheelers, but they all have one thing in common – they perform best when the pavement is gone. Sometimes called dirt bikes or trail bikes, off-road motorcycles offer users the chance to get a little dirty and experience terrain inaccessible for typical on-road bikes. From meandering trails in the woods to crawling over massive rocks to clearing massive triple jumps on a motocross track, there is almost no end to the terrain off-road motorcycles can navigate. While these bikes include everything from low-displacement funsters to imposing desert racers, most every off-road motorcycle features rugged suspension and knobby tires to help get you where you want to go.

2011 Kawasaki KX250F Review - First Impressions

2011 Kawasaki KX250F Review - First Impressions

After our first date with the 2011 KX250F motocrosser we were quite impressed. Kawasaki has taken great strides in addressing the issues we had with last year’s bike, along with great improvements in engine management thanks to the new EFI system.

  • 2001 Yamaha Dirtbikes When Yamaha came out with its YZ400F, it turned both the four-stroke and two-stroke worlds upside down -- there was a new Sheriff in town, and his name was Doug Henry: Piloting a once-thought-clunky four-stroke, Henry won the 1998 Mazda Trucks Motocross.
  • 2010 Yamaha YZ450F Review 2010 Yamaha YZ450F Review With an entirely new twin-beam frame, rotated engine design, adjustable fuel injection and extreme mass centralization, the 2010 YZ450F off-roader looks like a winner. Handling is superb, but it feels down in power compared to the Kawasaki KX450.
  • 2010 Zero MX Review 2010 Zero MX Review Compared to the basic X model, the new Zero MX features a sturdier shock and fork, bigger tires on wider rims, and stronger hubs. Those changes make it about 10 pounds heavier and give it much-improved moto capability.
