This information was originally compiled in about 2000 by Leon, and called Leon's Motorbike Road Test Links. In about 2003 Leon became unable to maintain the page, so it was taken over by Michel and called Michel's Motorcycle Road Test Links. Michel quit maintaining it in about 2009. I've used this reference on and off roughly since it started, and I thought it a shame that all this work would be lost, so I contacted the two previous owners. Michel and Leon are happy that their hard work will not simply evaporate. Information from Leon's and Michel's web sites are included with specific permission of the authors. I think we all owe them a great debt of gratitude, this was long and thankless work.

This is an index of motorcycle road tests. We're now in the process of bringing this up to date. If you know a good motorcycle road test that I missed, please email me. I'm not interested in posts at forums. I'll sometimes consider a review at a personal website if it's comprehensive and professional. The rules are simple: (1) English language, (2) free access (sorry about that, motorcycle.com!), (3) a reasonable expectation that the pages with the road tests will stay up, and (4) a motorcycle has two wheels, one hopefully behind the other. I'm willing to include the occasional sidecar or trike, but quads are NOT motorcycles! This is a lot of work, I won't be doing ATVs or Cars this decade.
