Is an adventure bike the ultimate tool for navigating Southern California’s busy freeways and city streets? Join us on this episode of "Real MC Commute" as we test the 2026 Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sport ES DCT on a real-world commute through Orange County and beyond! We push Honda's top-tier ADV bike to its limits, riding up to the Speed Addicts Superstore in Orange, California, to shoot some exciting upcoming videos—including an uncrating special and a new episode of Ask a Speed Addict focusing on how to perfectly fit a motorcycle helmet when buying online. From lane-splitting through traffic to cruising at highway speeds, we dive into the ergonomics, performance, and daily liveability of this 1084cc parallel-twin machine. What We Cover in This Video: Engine & Performance: Exploring the 1084cc parallel-twin engine with its V-twin-like character, power pulses, and high-speed highway performance. The DCT Advantage: Breaking down Honda's unique 6-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) and how it differs from the new E-Clutch system. Electronic Suspension: Looking at the Showa EERA system and how adjusting the preload electronically changes the ride quality and ride height on the fly. Real-World Ergonomics: Testing out the seat height, wide handlebars, the broad front fairing wind protection, and the narrow midsection comfort. The Commuter Reality Checklist: Reviewing fuel economy (MPG at freeway speeds), the short kickstand, and the engine vibrations that affect your rear-view mirrors. Gear Spotting: A quick look at the Japanese-made Arai Corsair-X helmet in the stunning Ogura colorway, courtesy of SpeedAddicts.com.

The legend returns! We are coming to you live from the winding roads of Kyoto, Japan, for an exclusive first ride review of the highly anticipated 2020 Suzuki Katana. Suzuki has officially brought this iconic machine back from the dead, blending classic 1980s retro heritage with modern performance underpinnings. In this special international "Real MC Commute" test ride, we take the reimagined Katana through its paces on a private Japanese toll road shut down exclusively by Suzuki HQ. Built on the proven chassis of the contemporary GSX-S1000 leader-class naked bike, the 2020 Katana pays heavy homage to Hans Muth’s original groundbreaking 1980 design while delivering a fresh, upright riding position and serious street performance. Powered by the legendary, long-stroke 2005-spec GSX-R1000 inline-four engine, this street bike serves up massive low-end torque perfect for jumping off corners and tearing away from stoplights. Watch as we break down how it handles the damp, chilly Japanese mountain roads, test out the custom-tuned suspension, and listen to that roaring engine note dialed in straight from Suzuki's acoustic testing chambers. Is the new Katana worth the hype, and does it deliver the ultimate value for a modern 1000cc naked motorcycle? Drop a comment below with your thoughts on the new retro-futuristic styling! 🏍️ Read our full, in-depth written review: https://www.motorcyclistonline.com 📌 Subscribe to Motorcyclist Magazine for more motorcycle reviews, gear tests, and track tests: [Insert Your Subscribe Link Here] ⏱️ VIDEO TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction from Kyoto, Japan 00:35 - History of the Suzuki Katana & Hans Muth Design 01:45 - Riding a Private Japanese Toll Road 02:53 - Iconic Styling, Badging, & Instrument Panel 04:40 - Ergonomics, Seat Height, & Riding Position 05:15 - Engine Performance: 2005 GSX-R1000 Heritage & Torque 06:15 - Electronics, Wheel-Speed Traction Control, & ABS 07:15 - Suspension Tuning & Handling Impressions 08:06 - Dunlop Roadsport 2 Urban Sport Tires Review 09:08 - Exhaust Sound & Engine Harmonics 10:00 - Braking Performance & Master Cylinder 12:42 - Price Prediction & Value Comparison 13:56 - Final Verdict: Is the 2020 Katana Worth It?

Is the 2026 KTM 1390 Super Adventure R the ultimate heavy-weight adventure bike for crossing rugged terrain? We took KTM's flagship adventure motorcycle out to the 15th Annual Giant Loop Rally in Eastern Oregon to put its 1350cc V-Twin engine, updated ergonomics, and off-road capability to the ultimate real-world test! Over the course of an epic 150-mile day through Eastern Oregon's high desert, we put this 150-horsepower beast through its paces. From high-speed 80 mph fire roads and dry lake beds to technical first-gear rocky hill climbs and unexpected mud pits, we discover exactly where this 545-lb machine excels—and where it leaves room for improvement. Plus, we take a detour off the bike to explore a historic, secret Masonic cave system hidden deep in the Oregon desert, complete with an underground kayak session! If you are looking for an ADV bike that can gobble up long distances in total comfort while still letting you hang the tail out in Rally Mode, find out why the $22,000 KTM 1390 Super Adventure R belongs on your shortlist.

2026 KTM 1390 Super Adventure R Review (Real Adventure and Ultimate Off-Road Test)
ADV-ing
What happens when you take a 500-pound heavyweight adventure bike, punch the displacement out to 1,350cc, and give it an eye-watering 173 peak horsepower? You get the 2026 KTM 1390 Super Adventure R—a machine that blurs the line between a cross-country tourer and an absolute dirt-spitting monster. But let’s be honest: do you actually need superbike levels of power when you're navigating loose topsoil, deep sand, and rocky ruts? In this video, we skip the smooth pavement and take Team Orange's flagship ADV beast exactly where it belongs: a real, punishing off-road test. We push the newly stiffened steel trellis frame to its limits, test the limits of the manual 6-speed gearbox, and see if the new "Camshift" variable valve timing makes this bike a tractable pussycat at low RPM—or a literal rocket ship that will bite you the second you get complacent. If you've been wondering whether the 1390 SAR is the ultimate off-road weapon or just beautiful, heavy overkill... grab a drink, hit subscribe, and let’s find out. 👇 What do you think: Is 173 HP too much for the dirt, or exactly enough? Let us know in the comments!
