First Ride: 2007 BMW HP2 Megamoto
By Jon Urry on 28/03/2008 11:03:01
With only 30 in the country and a stratospheric price tag of £12,595, the Megamoto is as exclusive as it is rampant. Get ready to spend your city bonus.
irksome, although the rich city lads who buy this bike won't care. It is, after all, about short, furious rides kicking the hell out of sportsbikes on smaller roads.If you live in the UK this is probably one of the most aspiratonal bikes around

BMW launch their most radical, stripped-down bike ever. With only 30 in the country and a stratospheric price tag of £12,595, the Megamoto is as exclusive as it is rampant. Get ready to spend your city bonus.

First Ride: 2007 KTM 990 Adventure review
By Chris Moss on 09/03/2006 19:39:10
KTM's Adventure 990 takes over from the 942cc carburetted v-twin 950, using a bigger LC8 engine and fuel injection. Geordie beer sponge Chris Moss on the launch of KTM's 2007 Adventure
'd be inclined to say that you haven't got a heart!Put simply, the 990 is one of the most inspirational bikes out there that just makes you want to ride all day long and anywhere you fancy. It's a highly enjoyable piece of kit, with loads of character and all

First Ride: 2012 Kawasaki ER-6n review
By Ben Cope on 19/10/2011 10:15:08
Everyone loves the ER-6, will that still be the case with the updated new model?
we didn't spend too much time in town, because the back roads are where the fun's really had on this new model.On our first day, we covered around 150-miles, mostly around twisty country roads. Looking back at it, the pace was fairly hot and yet

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?
in town, the fuelling from the bottom is crisp. First gear is very tall, topping out at 70mph, meaning you can rumble around in first and not be revving the knackers off it. Second tops out at 90mph - you could spend all day in second and not want

First Ride: 2007 Bimota DB6 Delirio
By Jon Urry on 18/03/2008 20:46:37
Who the hell let Urry out on a bike that expensive? He'll bring down Lloyds of London if he falls off.
is certainly up there with the sportiest nakeds and could easily handle a track day. And I doubt anyone could out brake one - the twin wavy brake discs and Brembo calipers offer an amazingly sharp setup.I have to admit I loved riding the DB6, but I still

First Ride: Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa
By Jon Urry on 02/04/2008 18:24:39
With a tyre-shredding 194bhp on tap and a fully revised chassis the original Hypersports bike is refusing to grow old gracefully. Hold on tight, because the 'Busa is back and is meaner than ever...
be exaggerating a bit on this one. It's more of a kink than a full-blown corner, but when the speedo needle is well past the 280kph (170mph) mark even a gentle bend takes some mastering. Ah, here we are...For the first real update of the Hayabusa since it

I've ridden the future and it's 100bhp
By Ben Cope on 17/04/2012 12:08:32
Would a 100bhp limit be the end of motorcycling?
..Having not affected accident statistics, the EU are putting pressure on France to remove the 100bhp limit, so are we really likely to get it in the UK? It's Politics, it's the EU. The truth is, no-one knows. Least of all me.What we do know is that ABS is coming

Buell 1125CR - Road test review
By Ben Cope on 12/10/2009 17:00:50
If we bought motorbikes using our head alone, Buell would be out of business. Will the 1125CR help Buell onwards and upwards?
and ride it the moment you fire it up. It doesn’t tolerate being ridden from cold. Sat on the bike, you immediately feel the reach to the bars, low and long, the clutch bites when the lever is nearly fully out, which is off-putting at first, especially when
