Our Spuds lives life with KTM's crazy supermoto
September 2001"Do you want a long-termer, Niall?" asked editor-bloke Alex, the only man to have got his knee down in the Valencia pit lane (he was falling off at the time). Well, when I found out this meant a free bike for me, and not as I had first

Niall's Spin: Yamaha MT-01 review
By Niall Mackenzie on 21/09/2010 12:25:10
It promised so much that it was bound to fall short, but now the hype has died down, what's it really like to ride?
' in the way Harely's customers are so willing to do, and with that in mind a whole range of customising and tuning accessories were made available too, not least a thundering great set of offically-approved Akrapovic exhausts. Any add-ons from the offical

First Ride: 2006 Suzuki GSX-R600 review
By Niall Mackenzie on 13/05/2008 23:05:44
More power, less weight, and all wrapped in a GSX-R1000 looky-likey form. It's bound to kick butt on-track - but can it deliver on the road?
I WAS PLEASED when I heard my first ride on the 2006 GSX-R600 would be on the road only - French roads, in fact - instead of the more usual track-based sportsbike launch. All new supersport bikes have impressive engine performance, plus they corner, steer and stop exceptionally w...
