Moto Mag of October 2010 tried to answer the question by comparing 8 motorcycles of 4 models compared to their temporal evolution and different criteria: consumption, weight, times, price, performance (power / torque) ... as well as (somewhat) more subjective criteria such as equipment, comfort, handling, protection ...

Time zone motorcycles:
- HONDA VFR 800 VS VFR 1200 DTC
- YAMAHA Super Tenere 750 VS 1200
- TRIUMPH SPEED TRIPLE 900 vs. 1050
-DUCATI 748 VS 848

For the rest: there is more to buy the magazine.
Some auto journalists should be inspired by this approach instead of always licking the ass of the "always more" car manufacturers ...
