Used test: Kawasaki ZX-7R vs Suzuki GSX-R750 SRAD
By Jon Urry on 09/09/2010 11:30:18
Suzuki's GSX-R brand represented the ultimate race replica for the people. Can Kawasaki's masterpiece take it on?
In pubs and over-crowded car parks across the country, these two protagonists were the talking point of the year. The 750cc market was still huge and it hadn’t had a shake-up for some time, so having two come along at once sent press and punters alike into a genuine frenzy. Despi...

Used Review: Suzuki GSX-R750
By Bertie Simmonds on 28/09/2008 16:25:56
A classic headbanger's bike, the SRAD and 750Y models of the legendary GSX-R were once giant killers. But how do they stand the ravages of time?
? The SRAD and 750Y versions of the ubiquitous Gixxer range both came about when the fashion for 750s was seemingly over.At the end of 1995, the FireBlade was just entering into its third incarnation, which made the bike a tad softer and easier to ride. From

By Niall Mackenzie on 11/10/2010 11:23:21
The early GSX-R600 is a winner. Yes it's an extremely capable sports/track bike but it's reliable and can be pressed into everyday or even holiday duty too
Click to read: Suzuki GSX-R600 owners reviews, Suzuki GSX-R600 specs and to see the Suzuki GSX-R600 image gallery.If 600s are your thing and you happen to find yourself in possession of a time machine we heartily recommend a trip back to 1997 where you would find it an especially...

Used Test: Suzuki GSX-R600 review
By Chris Moss on 13/09/2010 11:16:54
Fashion may have consigned the GSX-R600 to history with its now dated bulbous looks, but it is still an utter ripper of a bike, and a bargain at that
In the fashion-conscious, 'latest is greatest' biking world we live in these days, it's easy to dismiss some older bikes, especially in the sportsbike class.But the more discerning among you will realise that though age might dent the image of a particular bike, its actual perfor...

Five £3000 late '90s icons
By Ben Cope on 31/01/2012 16:31:35
Want to treat yourself to a slice of 90s cool?
What were the cult bikes of the late 1990s? That's the question that circulated the office today and after much heated debate (and one tantrum), we whittled the list down to these five. Without the £3000 limit, our list would have remained a fantasy for many, but the £3000 cap me...

Niall's Spin: Yamaha YZF750R
By Niall Mackenzie on 30/09/2010 14:54:27
You might think it is the best sports bike but its oil problem may get you to think twice
Click to read: Yamaha YZF750R owners reviews, Yamaha YZF750R specs and to see the Yamaha YZF750R image gallery.THE BEST SPORTS 750 until Suzuki launched their SRAD in '96 and even then a cracking bike. Like all 'Foxeye' Yamahas it's not only a rapid

The GSX-R Factor
By Bertie Simmonds on 26/05/2010 12:03:29
GSX-R. No other machine has had the impact on motorcycling in the last 30 years than those four letters have. But what has made the GSX-R so great?
the sexiest capacity of sportsbike.And to top it all off it gave us a multitude of bizarre and confusing acronyms such as SRAD, SACS, SCAI, SCEM, SOL-AIR, DAIS, DIAS, PDF, DOP, NEAS, MR-ALBOX and TSCC (Do you know them all? Answers on the last page).But only

Nostalgia hits and future classics. They may be getting on a bit but they’re still capable...
, SRAD. Standing for Suzuki Ram Air Direct and in layman terms this resulted in new air intakes that forced the air directly into the airbox. Our very own James Whitham thrashed one around World Superbikes for a few years before the tasty Alstare Corona
