BMW Offroad School review
By Jon Urry on 25/10/2010 10:13:32
It’s one of the best-known off road skills schools in the UK, catering for all levels of ability. But even the BMW off-road school hadn’t witnesseth incompetence of the scale Urry accomplished
, which really pisses me off. Why the hell can’t I do it?So, when the chance arose to spend a day with the guys at the BMW off-road skills course, I dug out my off-road kit and headed to Wales.The first thing that strikes you about the school is the level

BMW HP2 Sport first ride review
By Jon Urry on 04/05/2010 14:25:42
Is BMW’s HP2 Sport the ultimate Boxer, or just an over-priced showman? We spent a day on the road with the £15,000 BMW that floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee
-engined BMW that the company will ever produce. And I know this for a fact. BMW have just launched their S1000RR superbike, using a brand new 1,000cc inline four engine that is destined to compete in World Superbikes in 2009. This move effectively makes the HP

First Ride: 2008 BMW F650GS
By Jon Urry on 22/09/2010 10:43:06
BMW comes over all coy about the size of its new 798cc middleweight. What’s up lads, got something to hide?
650GS is aimed at new riders, those returning to riding or those of the female variety. So, despite sharing the same engine as the F800GS BMW has managed to loose 14bhp somewhere between the two models by giving the F650GS a gentler throttle response

First Ride: 2004 BMW K1200S
By Jon Urry on 30/03/2008 20:39:18
Heralded as the sportiest BMW motorbike ever, can the K 1200 S really rival the current hyper-sports bikes? Jon Urry travels to Munich to sample the delights of the German Autobahn and Austrian curves
prudish, boring image in favour of a far racier persona. But where Britney is achieving this by shedding her innocent schoolgirl image in favour of a raunchier stage show, BMW is busy creating 167bhp hyper-sports bikes.Enter the K 1200 S, with pre

First Ride: BMW R1100S Boxer Cup Replica
By Jon Urry on 14/09/2010 12:16:08
Only BMW would make a race replica that comes with heated grips and a shaft-drive as standard. Jon Urry took the Randy Mamola BoxerCup replica BMW around Donington Park for an all-over workout
