Discuss: What's harder to ride properly fast; 600 or a 1000?
By Visordown on 21/02/2010 14:44:00
Which is harder to ride properly fast, the crazy power of a 1000cc Superbike or the precision of a rev-hungry 600? We ask you, dear Visordown reader
a 600 hard more rewarding. All thou’s are beyond the capabilities of mortals (on the road at least) anyway. Anyone who says that they truly push the limits of, for instance, the GSX-R1000 K series on the road are lying.L.CI’ve never ridden a litre

Kings of Cornering: Part Five
By mark forsyth on 11/08/2011 11:29:26
GSX-R600. Balance of power
It would be downright rude, in a series of features about cornering prowess, to ignore modern supersports 600s. They serve up a delicious balance between tyre grip levels versus power output. Launched in the winter months of last year, Suzuki’s GSX

By Ben Miller on 15/07/2009 11:37:51
BMW have launched two new streetbikes for 2009, the twin-cylinder F800 and the 150bhp K1300R. Is all that extra power, weight and expense at all justifiable?

Should I Just Buy a Blade? CBR1000RR Fireblade V RSV4 Factory
By Ben Miller on 14/04/2010 13:57:36
Flash, fast and fearsomely expensive, the world would be a colder place without exotica like Aprilia’s £15,000 RSV4 Factory. But when Honda’s CBR1000RR is faster, far less expensive, aren’t you better off with a Blade?
This is not a test. Aprilia’s RSV4 Factory costs a full £5,000 more than a Honda Fireblade, or half as much again. On paper it’s also clearly inferior, making less power and torque and hitting a top speed nearly 10mph down on the CBR1000RR’s V

The X-Craft versus the V-fours
By Gordon Ritchie on 09/01/2008 13:32:33
Suzuki's GSX-R1000 is a super-competitive racing package but the same can't be said of the MotoGP GSV-R. Gordon Ritchie asks why
as much experience as it did in 500cc Grand Prix, but it also had an increasing level of consistent success - four-stroke racing, of almost all kinds and all on GSX-R machinery, from Endurance to AMA, from Formula 1 to Production racing, from 600cc

King of Bikes
By Jon Urry on 27/03/2008 14:37:23
Eight bikes, each a winner in its class, slug it out in the ultimate test. BMW R1200GS, Harley-Davidson VRSCA V-ROD, Honda CBR600RR, Kawasaki Z750, Kawasaki ZRX1200R, Suzuki GSX-R1000K5, Triumph Speed Triple, Triumph Sprint ST.
to them. So, after a heated discussion in the TWO office (as ever, centring around hardcore sportsbikes versus usable streetbikes and so-called all-rounders), we decided to find out, once and for all, which motorcycle is king of the block.The criteria

Road Test: Beaujolais Or Bust
By Warren Pole, Colin Goodwin, Adam Harvey, Martin Heath on 22/04/2008 22:24:08
Four men, four bikes, one quest - to bring home the firstbottle of Beaujolais Nouveau 2004 to British shores. The question isn't 'Why?', it's 'Why not?' Allez!
of Mutley aboard Yamaha's Fazer 1000, while snapper Martin Heath would ride the ZZ-R1200 as Peter Perfect.As mentioned earlier, it would seem I begun the deceit that permeated this road trip, but in fact it was someone more powerful who did this

The 50 Best Things In Motorcycling
By Two Team on 24/10/2007 18:35:38
In celebration of TWO's 50th issue-versary we've compiled, arbitrarily and without consultation, this definitive list of the 50 best things in biking, ever
in getting it right. And without any danger we'd be stuffed because bikes would then be safe and everyone would be at it. Your nan would be popping over on a GSX-R1000, your mum would want a Blade, and we'd be about as cool as, well, train-spotters. Warren
