Cold Play - Rebuild a wreck
By Jon Urry on 20/10/2007 18:26:15
Jon likes to spend his winters hibernating in the garage (or erm, kitchen) restoring an old shitter...
.The best route to finding your bike is a mate of a mate who has one in the back of his garage, which hasn't moved for umpteen years. Offer him a pittance to take it off his hands. I got my RD350 Ratbike like this, for £200! Failing that try eBay, look

By John Hogan on 12/07/2010 10:09:05
One of the MotoGP gods from the 990 era, the Ducati Desmosedici has been transplanted to a road-going and is now terrifying regular riders
scary. Not like the Ducati. The RR triggers a nervous excitement, like counting down to Christmas. In the run up to D-Day the red menace is, without fail, the first thought that popped into my head.When the big day finally arrives, things get worse

Used Test: Suzuki TL1000R
By Jon Urry on 13/09/2010 13:18:40
Created as Japan’s first V-twin World Superbike champion, the TL1000R fell short as a racer. But as a road-going missile, the big Suzuki offered a chunky alternative to Italy’s uncompromising, highly-strung twins. And now it’s criminally cheap
already sealed its fate.The TL1000R didn’t impress on track, failed to set the showroom alight, never took part in WSB as a factory racer and failed miserably to live up to its hype. After just six years, Suzuki pulled the plug on the TL1000R

By Luke Williams on 09/09/2009 15:24:05
Luke Williams is a serial bike buyer. what he doesn’t know about motorbikes isn’t worth knowing. Problem is, he hasn’t quite got round to passing his test yet...
licence. My serial bike buying habit started when I spotted a clean Bandit 6 for sale on eBay, I knew that it was going cheap and that I could sell it for a profit. I stuck a set of Renthal bars on it and made £250 on that bike in two days. Problem was I

Second Chance - Honda CBR600 2001-2006
By Jon Urry on 28/03/2008 15:44:45
Want it all? You're not alone. The CBR600F is Britain's best-selling motorbike of all time and not without good reason: it really is all things to all men (and women)
- or just personalise it. There's always plenty of used parts in breakers and for sale on eBay too which always helps keep running costs down.Downsides? There's not much low down torque, until you get to 4,000rpm very little happens and you need it between 8

The Great Field Bike Challenge
By John Hogan on 07/09/2009 16:53:14
For less than £200 you can buy a field bike. Now convince five mates to do the same and have the best afternoon’s racing of your life. Re-discover the reason you got into bikes in the first place for less than the price of a night out in London . .
searching. Scrap yards are full of shit so don’t go into one thinking you will find a gem. Think outside the box, think newspaper shop windows, think council pounds, think your mate’s old dad. eBay is always a goldmine and always make a cash offer before
