The original Ducati Diavel?
By Ben Cope on 26/11/2010 12:12:51
A year ago it would have looked totally weird for a Ducati. Now the Diavel's out, it's less so..
Africa, they claimed it's the fruit of three and a half years of painstaking research and development.They registered the domain for their website in May 2009, so it's over a year old at least. I'm not sure I like the bike, although I can appreciate

First Ride: 2001 Triumph Bonneville America
By Alex Hearn on 29/03/2008 13:56:15
Feet stretched to way-out-front highway pegs. A single, fat, white-faced chrome-edged speedo dominating a chunky ally top-yoke. Heavyweight tank-mounted console for the basics and a nacelle headlight reflecting the whole world in its seamless perimeter.

Victory + BMW x Cones = Amazing
By Ben Cope on 21/02/2011 15:40:55
Slow speed control? These guys have it by the bucket load..
This video was sent into us by Jon Urry and it shows two guys with outstanding slow-speed control. Want to know if a Victory will go around corners? Well, maybe not over 90mph but at walking pace, the answer is a most definite yes..

Who will be first with a Diavel rival?
By Visordown News on 16/02/2011 12:16:01
Ducati's new bike almost sits in its own sector. Who's in?
-twin at its heart. And few other firms have a modern, high-powered, lightweight V-twin engine to offer. Aprilia's 1200 motor can't match the Ducati's on performance, and while KTM's might, that firm isn't about to enter the cruiser battle. All the Japanese

First Ride: Kawasaki VN1600 Classic review
By Mark Shippey on 14/09/2010 12:50:31
A hazy April afternoon cruising through the long, winding roads of the Northamptonshire countryside. Mark Shippey bonds with Kawasaki's VN1600 Classic
, stomp her into first and head for the sunset. The exhaust note on the standard pipes is loud enough to compliment the thumping 1552cc's, and idling through town a little blip of the throttle will give that classic note all cruiser riders love to hear

First Ride: 2001 Honda VTX1800
By Bertie Simmonds on 29/03/2008 13:12:58
There's a low, mean burbling coming from somewhere near my pants as my posterior is pummeled by a searing wave of torque. God, can you believe I've just written such tosh?
Reading it back, It all sounds so pants... but just how do you put into words the following two BIG figures... 1,795cc and 115 ft/lb of torque? Instead, hop on and come for a ride.We're cruising at an altitude of 693mm (all shorties welcome
