2009 Triumph Thunderbird first ride review
By Ben Miller on 13/04/2010 10:20:14
One of motorcycling’s few truly great names is back. Again. And this time it’s attached to a cruiser aimed squarely at Harley-Davidson. Slickly engineered it may be, but she’s no wild one
and features pegs so low a support van of spare foot controls follows me everywhere – but Triumph claim the new T-bird enjoys class-leading dynamics and the handling composure to encourage enthusiastic riding. I don’t doubt them.With Harley-Davidsons as class

Ben Miller reports back from the world launch of Triumph's new cruiser

Longest Test: Kawasaki GTR1400
By Ben Miller on 02/11/2009 10:39:43
The GTR’s been waiting for a trip like this. Over two weeks at large in France, Ben Miller’s Kawasaki proves little less than awesome
but the Kawasaki does so easily courtesy of panniers and a top box.On the hot, bright autoroutes of northern France life is easy. I lead our unlikely trio, towing Ian on the Harley-Davidson XR1200 and Barry on the Bonneville down past Arras to Reims and Troyes. We
