2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250R first ride review
By Michaela Irwin on 28/04/2010 14:31:07
Kawasaki’s baby Ninja has already sold out in the UK and offers serious style for first-timers and commuters who want to look the part. We sent a total beginner to the world launch in Barcelona
given section of road. And in oh-so many ways, Kawasaki’s new Ninja 250R delivers just that. This small green thing made me wish I was 19 years-old, made me want to take a step back and learn to ride all over again. Except this time on a bike that could

2010 Honda VFR1200F world launch test
By Mark Forsyth on 04/06/2010 12:34:57
One of motorcycling’s worst kept secrets - Honda’s top-secret VFR1200F. Visordown were among the chosen few to ride it at the Sugo circuit in Japan
of those embarrassing falling-in-over-in-petrol-forecourt incidents. And because the heavily sculpted tank swoops around your knees, when you’re on the bike it really does feel like you’re in it – part of it. Our track and road test ride was dry but you

Living with a 2003 Suzuki GSX-R1000
By Bertie Simmonds on 10/11/2003 13:54:39
It's big, it's old and a bit of a relic. But enough about Bertie, see how he got on with the monster GSX-R1000
of Yoshimura rear footrest hangers, which pull the pegs up a bit (£144.67) as the standard ones don't fit.As well as producing massively daft dollops of power, the can looks the business. I also managed to 'liberate' a pair of Crescent crash bungs (£50), just

Living with a 2008 Triumph Street Triple
By Jon Urry on 16/11/2008 12:24:40
Jon Urry is a lovely chap and he's quite tidy on a motorcycle y'know? He reviews this Street Triple for a year for your delectation
of piss to fit, four Allen bolts screwed into the neatly pre-drilled holes (only pre-drilled because the Daytona 675 comes with a hugger as standard I might add) and job done. Flushed with success I moved onto the front fairing. This proved a bit tricker

First Ride: Revised Buell 1125R
By Jon Urry on 22/09/2010 16:55:46
After a fairly troublesome birth Buell’s 1125R is back. But have they got it right this time?
, redesign a few bits and organise another unveiling of this updated bike a few months later. Having not been on the original launch I was looking forward to riding the 1125R. I like Buell’s quirkiness, but having spent a day on road and track I don

Living with a 2007 Suzuki DL650 V-Strom
By Tim Dickson on 16/05/2007 11:19:49
The office puts the V-Strom through some hard miles
-Strom was caked in salty road cack and on a 750-mile each-way motorway thrash. It's back now, of course, and in the cosseting hands of a more caring, loving guardian (that'll be me), but it's still showing the scars of that first sub-zero epic journey

Living with a 2007 BMW G650 Xmoto
By John Hogan on 16/07/2007 14:39:44
Hogan earns the respect of BMW owners astride the funky G650 Xmoto
, until now, studiously ignored me daily, almost leapt off his bike when he saw me riding up the road astride my Beemer. Every day I see at least a couple of BMW riders and one or all has thrown me a nod or a cheery wave.As soon as I saw the new Xmoto I

The Longest Test: Visordown Long-termers Review
By Everyone on 02/11/2009 10:31:40
Six very different bikes with one thing in common – an identical 2,500 miles to cover through France in less than five days. Visordown takes our long-term test fleet out of the comfort zone to find out more about the bikes we thought we knew so well…
over function, a real posing tool for the city, we were all sure that our esteemed Art Director would breakdown long before the Triumph did.There are so many questions that remain unanswered in a typical magazine multi-bike test. Naturally, here
