Pirelli Angel GT tyre review
By Ben Cope on 18/04/2013 20:47:00
We test Pirelli's new touring tyre on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier and at the Nardo test track. Can a pure touring tyre really deal with an R1 on track?
THAT'S me on the flight deck of Italian aircraft carrier, Cavour 550, on a Kawasaki Z1000SX on Pirelli's new Angel GT tyres: the start of a very unusual launch for what I thought would be a fairly normal tyre.The Angel GT is, afterall, just a touring tyre. It is, according to Pir...

By Jon Urry, Tim Cummings on 13/04/2008 13:21:13
Once the preserve of the mega rich, these first-generation Italian superbikes can now be snapped up for less than the cost of a new sports 600. Here’s the deal.
2002 999 should cost around £5,300 in a dealer, £4,000 private, with the ‘S’ costing £6,500 in a dealer or £5,500 private. Deals can be had, but pay more or less dependent on condition. The next generation (2004) costs around £2,000 more both private

By Visordown News on 17/11/2008 15:37:48

Insurance Refugees: TLR, VFR800, ZX-12R & ZX-10R
By Jon Urry on 21/10/2008 15:22:43
Some secondhand bikes have slipped through the insurance net and can be bought and insured for less than half the price of a new supersport machine. We grabbed a 22 year-old student and found the most ridiculous insurance deals on these four
forced to offer subsidised insurance deals to entice customers towards their flagship models.Which is all very well and good until the renewal notice drops onto the doorstep. To insure a 1,000cc bike on the road will often cost twice the amount of your
