Living with a 2008 Kawasaki ZX-10R
By Jon Bentman on 16/07/2008 12:14:55
Jon Bentman reviews this fine Kawasaki motorcycle for your pleasure. Or so he told us.
July 2008The new long termer is a beast. Neighbour Phil confirmed it – in a year he barely noticed the CBR600RR, certainly didn’t comment upon it, but from day one the Kermit-green Kawasaki ZX-10R had him hooked.He could tell, just looking at it, that the ZX-10R can do the busine...

Niall Mackenzie reviews the 2008 Suzuki GSX-R750 throughout a year of abuse
August 2008A few years ago the biking world was shocked to hear that James Whitham had spent his own hard earned cash on a brand new road bike; a GSX-R750. As you get no greater seal of approval, since that day I’ve been really keen to see what all the fuss was about and somehow ...

April 2002There was movement in the bushes. Nestling in their hide, Big Bertie and Diddy Daryll, could just make out the stripes on her coat shimmering through the tall grass.With the beaters rushing her from behind, the tall, green figure of the Tiger burst into the clearing, an...

Grant puts his feet up and enjoys the relaxing H-D Ultra Classic Electra Glide
September 2007How green is my Harley? It's not, it's blue, but I made up for my willful abuse of the planet by unplugging my kettle and turning the central heating down a bit as soon as I got home from the Live Earth concert.Actually it's doing 45mpg on a mix of motorway and town...

Living with a 2008 Yamaha YZF-R6
By Andy Stevens on 16/06/2008 11:51:11
Andy loved his R6 and rolled around on it like a cut-price Rossi. Here's his review
June 2008The first thing you notice is the induction roar that comes from under the petrol tank. The R6 complies with all noise level legislation but so the rider gets the true feel of the bike Yamaha make the induction noise much louder than usual. Clever!The R6 was taken on the...

April 2008It’s only taken a few months but me and Dave (my Street Triple) have had our first falling out. It wasn’t either of our faults, but on a cold winter day in my garage we were close to blows.It all started as a good idea. Having seen a few pictures of ‘pimped’ up Street T...

Andy Hogan and John Stevens share a 2009 Kawasaki ZX-6R for a year. Here's their review
June 2009Say hello to my little friend - the 2009 Kawasaki ZX-6R. It weighs about the same as one of the fork legs on the Victory I ran last year, revs to 17,500 rpm, and I love it. I’ve ridden loads of sportsbikes at TWO, but never really lived with one for more than a couple of...

Boss of KTM on their electric future
By Visordown on 03/08/2010 16:07:27
He’s very powerful, concerned about the future of KTM and very upbeat about bikes. Especially electric ones.
THE last 12 months were really difficult And at some stages almost like freefall without seeing any ground – and not just for KTM. The US market declined by 60 percent, and in Europe the market went down 30 percent. Right now the situation has already recovered. In the last six m...

Triumph 1600 twin Cafe Racer
By Visordown News on 08/03/2010 15:03:22
Looks like another mad Swede's been at work creating this in his garage using a Thunderbird engine and some parts from a Ducati and other various cafe racer motorcycles. This cafe racer is a good-looking machine, with more grunt than a Thruxton
WE SPOTTED this one earlier on French website Motorevue: a Swede, Sivert Raask, has concocted a this motorcycle from Triumph's 1600cc Thunderbird cruiser, with the use of a handmade seat, a Ducati tank and a bit of cunning.Quite tasty for a home-brewed effort, don't you think...
