2020 Sportbikes We Want To Review

We’ve already ridden a couple of 2020 sportbikes, now we discuss the rest.

Who doesn't love to twist the throttle a little more than they should on tantalizing straightaways, alluring apexes, or serpentine mountain roads.

In case you were actually working when these first looks were published, here is a list of the 2020 sportbikes from Aprilia, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Triumph, and Yamaha that we have initial coverage on thus far…
