Road Tests

Aptly Named after the 1969 Pontiac GTO, “Judge.” This American motorcycle delivers on its promise. I couldn’t pop a wheelie but at least burned some rubber.

2012 Harley-Davidson FLHTK Electra Glide Ultra Limited Riding motorcycles has been a regular part of my life as far back as I can remember, even farther back than I care to brag about. My dad used to look like all the guys in Easyriders circa 1979 and I thought he was the coolest man on

We recently had the pleasure to road test another 250 ATK model. This is the bare model GT250. It’s not a cruiser, nor the sport bike model. It’s sorta the low-buck Buell replacement.

This article is made up of actual reports from various riders, including an active Army Colonel, Prince Najar; Commander Edge the boss of the Smoke Out, Paul Aiken, of Aeromach, and me, the Bikernet janitor.

    The Harley Softail ® debuted in 1984… and seemed destined for a historic run. For the first time, H-D aficionados could have the rigid look without the rigid feel…or so it was advertised. As we all know, Harley has built countless models off of this product line and has made as much money

This is an interesting one for Bikernet. A guy, Frank White, the boss of ATK motorcycles, mostly dirt bikes, recently called and told me about his new line of cruisers built with Korean components and assembled stateside.
