Or are they? Read more about Roland Sands' 450cc single roadracing motorcycles at www.motorcycleusa.com

To say Honda raised the bar within the middleweight sportbike segment would be an understatement. In MotorcycleUSA.com's 2007 Supersport Shootout V, the 2007 Honda CBR600RR stood head and shoulders above the other Japanese 600cc offerings. Name the category and the Honda had it locked.

An interview with Rich Castro conducted just after oversseeing his last Bolder Boulder. After many years as the Elite Athlete Coordinator, Rich has decided to step down and move on with the "more simple things in life." Rich is responsible for bringing professional road racing to Boulder; he also introduced the popular team format in 1998. Still at the helm of the Boulder Road Runners, Rich is one of Boulder's finest. Best of luck Rich.
