Review: 2025 Benelli TRK 502 -A Budget-Friendly Adventure Tourer

1 month ago | roadrunner.travel | Florian Neuhauser

The 2025 Benelli TRK 502 continues to prove that you don’t need to break the bank to enjoy the adventure touring lifestyle. With its adventure styled design, approachable performance, and solid list of features, this mid-weight adventure bike appeals to riders who want long-haul capability without the intimidating size or cost of larger ADV machines. At the heart of the TRK 502 is a 500cc parallel-twin engine, delivering 46.9 horsepower at 8,500 rpm and 33.9 lb-ft of torque at 6,000 rpm.
Review: Scorpion EXO-Eclipse Solid

1 month ago | roadrunner.travel | Florian Neuhauser

Over the years, I have worn helmets from every manufacturer worth mentioning. Scorpion’s helmets have always impressed me with their overall comfort. It’s not just about the shape and pads, but also the soft interior. But the Eclipse is more than just comfortable. Its features and price point should propel it to the top of any rider’s consideration list. The face shield offers a wide field of view that enhances your peripheral vision.

Review: TCX Hero 2 WP Boot

Feb 8, 2025 | roadrunner.travel | Florian Neuhauser

What better way to break in a new pair of boots than a two-week-long cross-country ride? That’s exactly what I did for testing the TCX Hero 2 WP boots. The first thing I noticed when I laced up these combat-style boots was the OrthoLite comfort insoles. Never mind that I was about to embark on an epic journey across the U.S.—these TCX boots made me feel like I was walking on a cloud.
Thank You-A Letter from Florian

Dec 10, 2024 | roadrunner.travel | Florian Neuhauser

This time of the year is always one of reflection. It’s just natural after the whirlwind of a busy travel season. Last winter, I got ants in my pants and signed myself up for a whole bunch of trips. They were all epic, but with so much time on the road, the clock seemed to be ticking faster. I haven’t even mentally processed most of my outings yet, because there’s a business to run. No time to rest. It seems like every hour on the road results in two hours of catch-up work in the office.
4 Packing Tips for Motorcycle Tours

Dec 5, 2024 | roadrunner.travel | Florian Neuhauser

I currently have three motorcycles in my garage—a Yamaha Ténéré 700, Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE, and Honda Trail 125. Each machine is an entirely different experience, yet I have completed overnight tours on all of them. Click here to find my current luggage setup for each of these bikes. The great thing about the luggage you see is that it’s versatile enough to mix and match to meet the demands of any ride.
2024 Yamaha MT-09 SP: The True Master of Torque

Dec 1, 2024 | roadrunner.travel | Florian Neuhauser

It has been 10 years since Yamaha introduced the MT model line, and I first tested one in 2016 before the U.S. designation changed from FZ to the current one. I took the new 2024 MT-09 SP to the same roads on the Tennessee-North Carolina border, and it provided a great comparison. I already fell in love with the FZ-10 all those years ago. How much better can a motorcycle get? Is the MT-09 SP truly the purest of them all?
Escape & Explore-A Letter from Florian

Oct 15, 2024 | roadrunner.travel | Florian Neuhauser

Each year, we send out our reader survey to learn more about you and your riding habits. One of the questions asks you to rank the reasons why you ride. Consistently, the number one answer is “the desire to escape and explore.” I second that. It has been a great travel year for me so far. I developed cabin fever last winter, even though it was the warmest I can remember.
Review: 2024 Husqvarna Svartpilen 801

Oct 1, 2024 | roadrunner.travel | Florian Neuhauser

Only a few motorcycles do a good job with balancing a classic style with a modern look. The new Svartpilen 801 is one of them. Walking up to the parked motorcycle, the classic lines immediately made it feel familiar, even though it’s clearly an ultra-modern design. From afar, I wasn’t sure what type of material was used for several parts, but once I got up close and personal and ran my hands over them, I realized just about everything was black powder-coated aluminum.
Review: REV’IT! Overshirt Tracer Air 2

Sep 28, 2024 | roadrunner.travel | Florian Neuhauser

When it’s 100 degrees out, you still need proper riding gear. We explained in our Aug ‘23 issue that hiding your skin from the sun’s rays actually keeps you cooler, so you have no excuse not to wear a jacket—or, in this case, something that looks more like a shirt. The Tracer Air 2 is full-on mesh, and it’s ideal for temperatures above 80 degrees when you have a big fairing blocking some wind. I tested it on a 2,500-mile ride from Chicago to Santa Monica.
