The December issue of Canada's favourite motorcycle magazine is now in the mail and on the way to newsstands.

As it is the December issue what better to do than to look ahead at the 2010 models soon to be hitting the roads near you. On the cover you see the Victory Cross Roads which is the sibling of the Victory Cross Country both of which are direct descendants of the Victory Vision. It seems that there is quite a discussion over whether the Vision is a good looking machine. Apparently some think not. To solve the dilemma Victory stripped off all the Vision's bodywork and gave us a far more traditional look. We only know what we have been told but so far both models look pretty good with or without the iPod dock.

Also in the issue we take a very quick ride aboard the new Honda VFR 1200. No that is not a mistake. The VFR has been the recipient of some serious "performance enhancers". While we have to frown on this when it comes to professional sports we can embrace it when it comes to motorcycles. What we have here gentleman is some serious muscle that wasn't to be found yesterday and it is not due to some over the counter fuel additive. The committee came to one conclusion - there is no replacement for additional displacement. The looks of the bike are certain to be as polarazing as that little, tiny old VFR 800 (which I was a fan of...).

We look also at the Suzuki Gladius, the Triumph Tiger 1050S and Rocket III Roadster.

Ontario bound. Touring stories include a ride around Kingston and a trip to Niagara Falls.

Niagra Falls makes you think about water. Water goes over the falls only once, never to return. What is gone is gone. The same can not be said for Honda CB350s. In a touching story of man and machine, we find out what it is like to get the bike you bought new almost 36 years ago back in your garage after it has moved around the country and through a couple of owners.

That is not all the stories but you'll have to find a copy to read the rest!
