Living with a 2002 Yamaha YZF-R1
By John Cantlie on 12/07/2002 14:02:03
Cantlie goes mega fast and offends the law on his R1

It's hard not to be sceptical about the rebirth of another once great Italian manufacturer.
president Roberto Ziletti says will be built this year. But the first four are very much finished: powered by the 999cc eight-valve V-twin engine from Honda's SP-1, held together by a Ducati-style tubular steel frame, and looking very classy indeed in silver

By A.J. Stevens, Luke Ponsford on 01/08/2005 15:14:22
Nostalgia ain't what it used to be. Faux modern retro is one way to go, but if you want your old school metal to be authentic there's only one option: get the real deal and buy a classic. Let us show you how
