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

First Ride: 2006 Honda ST1300 Pan European
By John Cantlie on 03/04/2008 19:21:50
For 10 years now Honda's Pan European has been one of the sharpest touring tools in the box.
For 10 years now Honda's Pan European has been one of the sharpest touring tools in the box. But a decade without development is a long time in the motorcycle world, so for 2002 the ST1100 becomes the ST1300 and a full set of new clothes to go with it. Sonic does the launch in So...

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...

Used Test: Suzuki GSX1400
By Bertie Simmonds on 13/09/2010 14:19:12
It looked like a pit-bull, even if it was more of a lap-dog to ride. Blessed with good looks and mucho torque, Suzuki's GSX1400 has proved to be a popular retro bruiser bike in used circles
Click to read: Suzuki GSX1400 owners reviews, Suzuki GSX1400 specs and to see the Suzuki GSX1400 image gallery.Back in the days when wearing Brut 33 was considered foreplay, real men rode bikes like these. Retro bikes from the 1990s cashed in on naked nostalgia with a raft of ma...

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...

Living with a 2003 Harley-Davidson V-Rod VRSCA
By Mark Shippey on 12/06/2003 14:51:07
Shippey lives the dream and spends some time with the H-D V-Rod
June 20031989, I opened a Woolwich savings account and told everyone (to muffled sniggers) that it was my 'Harley Account'.There are two types of motorcycle that people aspire to. One, a Ducati. Two, the Harley. For me, the Harley is a true icon of motorcycling. It encapsulates s...

By Niall Mackenzie on 12/06/2003 14:52:06
Our Niall gets down and dirty with the KTM 450 EXC
June 2003True story: When I was nine I knew I was having a little Mamod steam traction engine from Santa. Fast-forward 32 years, Christmas Eve 2002, I shamelessly admit feeling the very same excitement when I picked up my new 450 EXC from KTM HQ in Brackley. Having enjoyed living...
