First Ride: 2003 Honda Hornet CB600F
By Grant Leonard on 13/09/2010 14:49:20
After the new CBR600RR, the Hornet 600 could be the most important bike Honda bring into the UK this year. And they've just revamped it. Has Honda got it right?

Simon rides a Benelli Tornado to the track and back
October 2004The timing could not have been any better. Three Cross dropped the Tornado off on the Friday morning, by the afternoon I find myself threading though the sheer hell of holiday traffic on the M3 on my way to Llandow and the Rapid Skills day of judgment.For 40 miles the...

The big boss takes the CBR954RR FireBlade for a spin
November 2003I'm no Niall mac, let alone Valentino Rossi, so the need for the latest GSX-R this or R1 that passes me by.I want a fast, reliable, competent sports machine that will far surpass my own meagre talents without bankrupting me with its latest fashion expense. The Blade ...

Living with a 2009 Kawasaki ER-6n
By Mark Forsyth on 23/01/2010 12:13:17
Perfect for slicing through sleepy country towns and getting stern lectures from not-so-sleepy country coppers. This fiery twin has got what it takes to entertain
January 2010The fact that I’ve ‘only’ done 1500 miles on my ER-6n in a whole summer season doesn’t really tell the whole story. Our relationship has been much more intense than the odometer reading would suggest. In truth, I’ve used it every day. Hard.The little orange ER-6n has ...

Living with a 2004 Honda Fireblade CBR1000RR
By Jon Urry on 15/08/2004 09:21:25
Urry spends some quality time with a Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade
programme and have a play. There's also a forum for confused people to get help from slightly less confused people.I now intend to get the Blade out on track and use the data logger to amuse my fellow riders with the pathetic amount of throttle opening I use

Rough Raiders - BMW R1150GS, KTM 950 Adventure S and Honda Africa Twin
By Alex Hearn on 16/09/2010 16:49:50
Welcome to the jungle. Actually, Wales, where the tarmac's twisty and lumpy and BMW's meaty GS Adventure meets the old-staging Honda Africa Twin and KTM's brand-bouncing new 950 Adventure S
They made an incongruous addition to the Travelodge car park - amid the sea of base-model rep-mobiles and white delivery vans the three bikes shoaled by reception didn't quite fit the usual profile of transport for the transitory masses booked in for a night of blandly uniform ho...

Living with a 2003 Triumph Daytona 600
By Jon Urry on 12/10/2003 14:18:31
We like Jon Urry, despite the fact he owns a 2CV. He is a very nice man and he reviews his Daytona 600 here using words and images
August 2003YOU HAVE TO feel a bit sorry for the poor Daytona. Despite it currently showing 3500 miles on it's clock, it hasn't actually been ridden on the road yet! You see my lovely new Daytona 600 is one of the bikes that was used during the world launch of the Triumph at circu...

Living with a 2002 Kawasaki ZX-9R
By Mark Shippey on 12/07/2002 12:44:27
The Kawasaki ZX-9R didn't survive this long term test in the hands of Shippey
July 2002When Gusbuster arrived back one sunny Thursday afternoon, I rushed downstairs to check out my new baby. I had been eagerly awaiting my new Buell Firebolt ever since Bertie praised it on the launch a while back. I know that the design concept was meant to be new and excit...

Living with a 2002 Buell XB9R Firebolt
By Simon Bowen on 12/10/2002 14:28:35
A carefully considered long term Buell by Jim Bowen
October 2002Choosing the right longtermer ain’t as straight forward as you might think. As you get older and your body constantly reminds you of the bashed ligaments and poorly-healed fractures of years gone by, as your circumstances change (I now cover 32,000 miles a year in com...
