Meet the fuglys: alternative used adventurers
By Jon Urry on 14/09/2010 09:26:14
They may not be the best looking bikes out there, but is there more than meets the eye when it comes to these presentationally-challenged secondhand bikes?

By Jon Urry on 06/07/2006 09:41:21
Can an ageing, bum basic £5299 all rounder really offer the best of all worlds against a raft of higher priced, specialist competition? Read on to see where the smart money lies
Surfing the Internet the other day I ended up on Suzuki UK's webpage. Among the usual banners flashing up 0% finance deals, Yoshi parts for GSX-Rs and cut price off-roaders, the one advert that actually made me stop and look was for the Bandit 1200.For a start I'd actually forgot...

By Jon Urry on 25/10/2010 10:40:06
Exploring the best parts of Italy on a rabid KTM Super Duke over a long weekend is concentrated adventure riding that anyone can do. All you need is a Visa card and a backpack
’t actually know what bike I would be hiring when I arrived at Stradanova to pick it up. I was told a KTM but when I got to the office I was given a choice: would I like a 990 Adventure, or a 990 Super Duke? Twisty passes, sunshine and a temperature of 22

By Jon Urry on 16/05/2007 13:45:58
Urry swaps the speed of sports bike for the sedate Tiger 1050 to experience the sense of adventure
May 2007As life goes by you realise that with each change a part of your youth is lost forever. The innocence of childhood is lost when Father Christmas's true identity is revealed. Teenage years disappear when a part time job to earn drink vouchers develops into a full-time occu...

Road test: 2008 KTM 950SM vs. Ducati Hypermotard
By Jon Urry on 06/11/2008 16:37:38
What would get you out of bed an hour early in winter just to play on deserted roads? try the new KTM 990SM or Ducati’s Hypermotard. It certainly worked for us...
and down streets all over the world.That’s as many as KTM’s GS-inspired Adventure, which shows the company must be onto something. Well, Ducati thought so. Last year they launched an Italian take on the big supermoto, the Hypermotard. Under the banner

Living with a 2003 Triumph Daytona 600
By Jon Urry on 12/10/2003 14:18:31
We like Jon Urry, despite the fact he owns a 2CV. He is a very nice man and he reviews his Daytona 600 here using words and images

April 2008It’s only taken a few months but me and Dave (my Street Triple) have had our first falling out. It wasn’t either of our faults, but on a cold winter day in my garage we were close to blows.It all started as a good idea. Having seen a few pictures of ‘pimped’ up Street T...
