Living with a 2006 Yamaha FZ1 Fazer
By Tim Dickson on 16/07/2006 09:57:24
Tim Dickson likes his Fazer FZ1 dirty
to make it less scary to newer riders - while emissions regulations are making a mockery of our fuel injection systems. Damn that global warming. And there's no quick, or cheap, fix, as far as I can see it.Have you bought an FZ1 Fazer? Are you happy

(£450) and the extra set of Pirelli Supercorsas (£235, fitted) and the total price of owning this Italian beauty so far comes to £1,829, or 26.5p per mile, not including original price or insurance. Not cheap but not bad given what you get for your cash

First ride: Suzuki GSR750 ABS review
By Ben Cope on 05/07/2012 12:37:14
GSR750 versus life. Put through its paces on the commute, endless A-roads and twisty country lanes - how does Suzuki's middleweight stack up on UK roads?
. The GSR feels stable, not lively, willing but not eager. It'll do what you ask of it, but I dare say it doesn't feel instinctive.vs. The ConclusionThe GSR750 trounces the GSR600 in every respect. I didn't rate the GSR600; ugly, cheap-looking, badly

Talk of twins and it's a fair bet you'll be imagining a Ducati 999 or Aprilia Factory. But what are the 'alternative' two-pot choices?
up. Japan Inc. must be worried - this ain't no cheap copy.BMWIt's a slow burn is the R1200R. To look at, and by reading the specs, really there's nothing to get excited about. And even on first ride impressions it's just another BMW. But like all Bee

Used Review: Yamaha Fazer 1000 V Honda Hornet 900
By Chris Moss on 05/04/2008 13:18:13
Both these bikes are the product of 'modular engineering'. But do they represent a good buy?
action is stiff. If the bike tends to drop out of gear then repairs can be either very cheap (a new selector spring) or massively expensive (new gearbox) Engines burn oil from new. A litre every 1000 miles is not uncommonClutches will slip if abused. Test

Colditz
By Jon Urry on 01/11/2005 16:41:47
It's every officer's duty to escape. So our four battle-weary soldiers slipped the confines of Blighty for the freedom of Germany's autobahns to stretch the legs of four very fast bikes
't good, but it's still excellent overall. Having said that the Suzuki has really won me over. The Hayabusa's engine is stunning, the handling is the most nimble and, despite it looking like a cheap trainer, I like it because it's different. The only
