    FAQ

    Motorcycles Questions.

    Which Motorcycles products will you test first?

    The ones listeners request and vote for most, as long as the brand can supply a review unit or we can buy one ourselves.

    How long is each test?

    30 days of real use, in three episodes: Day 1 first look, Day 7 real life, Day 30 verdict. The verdict airs on Rock ’n’ Roll Radio first.

    Do brands pay for Motorcycles reviews?

    No. Brands may loan or send products, and every review says how we got it. Verdicts can’t be bought.
