Bimota Tesi 3D tested around Brands Hatch
If you’ve never ridden a Tesi and never wanted to, now is the time to re-adjust your head and embrace weirdness
11 August 2010

2011 Triumph 1050 Sprint GT road test review
More powerful (but a bit too revvy), longer wheelbase with single-sided swingarm, very stable, geared more for touring than its predecessor and overall a very decent tour bus
11 August 2010

2010 Suzuki GSX1250FA road test review
A new big sports tourer from the nice people at Suzuki. It’s like a Bandit ,but rest assured: in no way, shape or form is this a Bandit. It’s a GSX1250FA alright? A GSX1250FA. Got it?

2010 Ducati Multistrada 1200 launch test review
One of the most eagerly awaited motorcycles of 2010 broke cover in the volcanic heat of Lanzarote. Ducati’s complete revision of the Multistrada could be enough to steal top all-rounder tag from the BMW R1200 GS. Here’s how the first ride went down
04 August 2010

2010 MV Agusta F4 1000R launch test review
Visordown’s Chief road tester is former World Supersport star and all-round top chap James Whitham. MV Agusta generously allows him to sample the new F4. Is he a happy chappy? Or utterly disgusted with Agusta? Find out
04 August 2010

2010 Kawasaki Versys launch test review
Dependable do-it-all gets a facelift and a suspension twaeak. Mark Forsyth rode the new version to bring you chapter and verse
02 August 2010

2010 BMW R1200RT launch test review
BMW’s already excellent big tourer gets a new motor with more grunt and a host of comfort improving gadgets for 2010, not to mention a fruity exhaust note
02 August 2010

2010 BMW R1200GS-ADV launch test review
The bike that defined the Adventure market gains some extra grunt for 2010 to help it deal with the rough terrain of the Gobi desert. Or a gravel drive in Epsom
02 August 2010

Aprilia 750 GT first ride review
Strangely underwhelming Shiver gains a fairing in an attempt to boost versatility and buyer appeal. But does a bit of plastic up front turn a naked into a tourer?
26 July 2010

Moto Guzzi Stelvio NTX first ride review
Plucky Italians go chasing a slice of the big-money BMW GS Adventure pie with a re-worked Stelvio. But does the pricer, torquier NTX stand a chance?
26 July 2010

Samurai Type 5 first ride road test
It is arguably that you cannot put a price on coolness, but could the £27k Samurai Type 5 cruiser be the answer
12 July 2010

BMW HP2 Megamoto road test review
BMW's most radical, stripped-down bike ever. With only 30 in the country and a stratospheric price tag of £13k, the Megamoto is as exclusive as it is rampant. Get ready to spend your city bonus
30 June 2010

2010 Honda VFR1200F DCT first ride review
Face it – automatic bikes don’t have a great reputation. Has Dual Clutch Technology changed all that? Shall we find out?
28 June 2010

2011 Ducati Monster 796 Gladiatorial first ride review
Improved riding position and mid-capacity engine make new Monster 796 a very rounded entry-level proposition
25 June 2010

Triumph Rocket III Roadster road test review
Triumph Rocket III was hardly lacking street presence, but with its new moody paint and even more imposing look, the Rocket III Roadster cuts an aggressive form
22 June 2010

2010 Yamaha Super Ténéré launch test review
Built to rival BMW’s über-selling GS, but missing the mark in many areas, not least price. Not Yamaha’s best Super Ten
22 June 2010

MV Agusta Brutale 1090RR first ride review
Introducing two new Brutales from the Italian masters of style, courtesy of Harley-Davidson
21 June 2010

Ducati Hypermotard 1100 EVO SP first ride review
The SP version costs £10300 and that’s before you throw the really good stuff at it. It’s expensive, but more is more
15 June 2010

Ducati Hypermotard 1100 EVO first ride review
There are two simple, almost foolproof ways to make your bike more fun: make it lighter and give it more power. That’s exactly what Ducati has done with its update to the original Hypermotard 1100, the Hypermotard 1100 EVO.
15 June 2010

2010 Kawasaki Z1000 first ride road test
Kawasaki’s naked beast is back, not with a whimper, but with a big styling bang and an engine to back up the new look. Roland Brown gets down with the brand new Zed
