They might be giants: Triumph Tiger & Benelli Tre K
It’s a bit like meeting a TV star for the first time, they’re never quite as big as they appear on screen. Say hello to the Triumph Tiger and Benelli Tre K. They’re both big, but which is the best?

Woodstock - Big BMWs offroad: 450 X, F800 GS & R1200 GS

When it all gets a bit much there’s only one thing for it: jump on your bike, head for the nearest port and just ride. Anywhere. But how do you like your big-mile kicks? We evaluate four different takes on the tourer

Chalk & Cheese, Niall & Whit, Triumph Street Triple R & BMW F800R
Triumph’s riotous Street Triple R is the benchmark middleweight street bike, a bike so alive with character it’s arrival left big street bikes looking a little redundant. How does BMW’s new F800R compare?

Prime numbers - Triumph 675 v Suzuki GSX-R750 v Ducati 848
Operating outside the established 600cc and 1000cc classes, the Ducati 848, Suzuki GSX-R750 and Triumph 675 refuse to be pigeon-holed. But are they alternative oddities or right answers?

2010 Aprilia RSV4 Factory Mallory Park track test
Small, feisty and peaky, but raw, basic and flawed in some respects. Aside from all that, a beautiful creation and a most lusted after machine. And very, very fast too
