First Ride: 2013 Triumph Daytona 675R review
By Ben Cope on 16/12/2012 19:25:19
Forget 250s. This is the best handling bike you can buy.
THIS is the Daytona 675 Triumph always wanted to build. It isn’t just a couple of tweaks and a facelift, it’s a totally new model - the front mud guard is about the only part that carries over from the old bike.According to the Daytona 675’s lead development rider, when Triumph s...

Road Test: Real World 600s
By Jon Urry on 03/06/2003 14:54:52
If pound notes are more important than lap times these 600s offer the best compromise of race replica handling with real world practicality. New and secondhand these still top the sales podium
are secondhand as owners upgrade to newer or sportier bikes.And as for the TT600? Well the new Daytona 600 has now firmly established itself as the British firm's rival to the best Japan can offer, which has taken the pressure off the TT600. When it was launched

Used Test: Suzuki GSX-R1000
By Bertie Simmonds on 05/08/2008 22:31:27
Upon its launch in 2001, the Suzuki swept all before it. Six years later it is still arguably the best of the litre sports bike brood, but how does it handle in the fiercely fought second-hand sector?
-rans. Its 988cc motor produced more power than the opposition, the chassis handled like a pukka 750 superbike and the looks were very GSX-R. Little wonder it was a massive sales success.Subsequent models have built on this solid bedrock. Newer 2003 and 2005

First Ride: 2004 Triumph Daytona 650
By Niall Mackenzie on 30/03/2008 22:17:28
The Daytona 600 has always had the legs; it's one of the best-handling 600s around. With an extra 47cc - and a load more mid-range - the Daytona 650 might nearly be the perfect middleweight.
-place Hinckley insider told me, "the extra capacity has made a huge difference to the Daytona as a road bike and if we kept racing we couldn't have had this. And what would be the point?"According to Triumph the Daytona 600 is currently its best selling model

New rubber required for my S1000RR
By Niall Mackenzie on 13/05/2011 15:49:48
The Michelin Pilot Pures were good but they don't last forever
nd gear corners thus warning me my tyre is past its best. After some trial and error I’ve settled with the front and rear compression and rebound damping settings to 7 on the S1000RR. And as with last year’s bike this gives me positive handling
