Vehicles · Two Wheel
Half the wheels, twice the attention
Bikes are the purest version of what this site is about: engine, gearbox, road, and nothing to hide behind. The crew's two-wheel history is short, loud and Suzuki-shaped.
In the garage
Suzuki GSX-R
The Gixxer. An inline-four sportbike from the era when Suzuki built the sharpest tool on the shelf and priced it for students. Ours came with one piece of paperwork worth keeping: a clean VIN check against the Canadian Police Information Centre before any money changed hands.
- Engine
- Inline-four, liquid cooled, redline somewhere your ears will tell you about
- Gearbox
- Six-speed, cassette style, clutch that punishes lazy hands
- Best at
- Highway 507 on a weekday morning, and making Integras feel slow
Shortlist
Bikes the crew argues about
Honda CB750
The original superbike. Air-cooled four, disc brake, electric start in 1969. Everything after is a footnote.
Kawasaki ZX-7R
The 90s superbike that looked like a race bike because it was one. Heavy, green, gorgeous.
Yamaha RZ350
Two-stroke twin, power valves, a smell you'll never forget. One of the last street two-strokes sold here.
Suzuki DR650
The Land Cruiser of motorcycles. Simple, unkillable, fixable with a rock.
Ducati Monster 900
Trellis frame, dry clutch rattle, air-cooled L-twin. Fewer cylinders, more character per cylinder.
Triumph Bonneville T120
The 60s one. Parallel twin, kickstart, and the reason your grandfather has a scar on his shin.
