Niall's Spin: 2006 Honda CBR125R review
By Niall Mackenzie on 20/09/2010 13:56:23
If you're a biking novice, perfect your skills with this baby Honda, which seems far more simple than complex.

anyone can ride the baby CBR, as proved by both our '0-180mph in a day' biking novice Peter Fickling and my own 12-year-old son, Taylor, who has had hours of fun on one of these at the Ron Haslam Race School.Ron uses them for his 'On Track' experience

All the tackle, all the talent, but sadly shy on victories of late, Niall says farewell to the Rizla Suzuki team. We've come a long way, baby

For many reasons I had mixed emotions at this year's final round of the BSB championship. The three-way shoot out at Brands had promised much but became an anti-climax as the weather spoiled the weekend. There was no disputing Lavilla, Haslam and Kyonari all deserved the title bu...

Niall's Spin: Honda CB600F Hornet
By Niall Mackenzie on 08/10/2010 15:17:24
In 2005 Niall Mackenzie had a short fling with the Honda Hornet, here's what he had to say

-termer but let's face it, so long as it's not diesel powered there has never been a bad free bike.My first impression of the baby Hornet is that it was, well, a bit small and girly. I was wrong because although it does have a seat height that may suit some female

Rossi's new crib
By Niall Mackenzie on 09/11/2010 15:41:04

bus, this baby easily won the 2010 motorhome championship. Pulled by a tractor unit and sporting full length double slide out side sections, I can only guesstimate there would be a $500,000 + price tag but I don't suppose you can ever put a value on a

Niall's Spin: Triumph Daytona 675 review
By Niall Mackenzie on 17/09/2010 16:13:42
After a week in Malaysia on the Triumph Daytona 675 launch recently I was looking forward to the odd road test during the year

anticipation is going to be quenched sooner than I thought as I've just been told there's a long-term test bike with my name on it ready for collection. I'm so excited I can hardly sleep!Although the looks and dimensions of this baby Trumpet are not dissimilar

Having a blast on the KTM Duke 125
By Niall Mackenzie on 30/09/2011 07:05:14
How to be a teenager at fifty

but annoyingly they only last for a year.I used the most direct route to Leicester which is mainly dual carriageways where the baby Duke pulled 77mph downhill but then dropped back to 65mph while heading back up the rises. There is a handy blast of torque

Back in the day, the All Japan 500cc Championship at Tsukuba
By Niall Mackenzie on 24/06/2011 10:38:56
500 GP bikes may have been scary but I wouldn't have had it any other way.

enjoyed a head to head battle with national hero Tadahiko Taira. Yamaha’s favourite son at the time, ‘tie wrap’ as we liked to call him, was taller and better looking than most Japanese riders (maybe a war baby?) and went on to win nearly everything

side of things a bit more. He said he would get it sorted out. I called him later to see how he got on, and he said, "Well Niall, I tried all the machines in the gym - but I didn't find a single one I liked!" Team DadCouldn't let this month pass

He knows the ropes when it comes to Superbikes and our parsimonious pundit fervently believes both World and British series will be things of great wonder and entertainment

the coolest name on the block but the original white rapper (and handy moto crosser) ‘Vanilla Ice’ certainly didn’t deserve to have his 1990 classic ‘Ice Ice Baby’ ruined by two talentless muppets. Come on Dublin, you used to give us the likes of U2 and Thin

As Visordown (the magazine) is now only www, this grizzled old boy must face a new digital future on the world wide web. This online-distributed column was a Niall Mackenzie production

and fail at surfing, visited the Nurburgring on a VFR800 where I nearly implanted myself in a boot of VW Golf driven by a granny. I’ve hit baby Wild Boar with a 1200RT following their mother across the road in Northern Spain and I wiped out a dog near
