Splitting Heirs: Kawasaki ZZ-R1200 v ZZR1400
By Jon Bentman on 28/03/2008 18:23:49
As Splitting Heirs contests go, this would seem the most one-sided fight yet. Only it's not. Thought the ZZR1400 to be the ultimate speed king? Well, maybe you've never ridden a 2002 ZZR1200 then...
The latest ZZR1400 has rapidly achieved iconic status. Back in 1990 the ZZR1100 was able to stand proud as the fastest production motorcycle ever, with its genuine 168mph making it the quickest by a good margin. The ultimate muscle statement, it usurped GSX-Rs and the EXUP with f...

By Jon Urry, James Whitham on 22/04/2008 20:22:26
Take sixteen of the best sportsbikes in the world to a circuit for three days, put them on identical tyres, add thirteen journalists from ten different countries and you have the most comprehensive test ever.
The Supertest began as an idea last year between Spanish magazines Solo Moto and el Periodico, Portuguese mag Motojornal, Italian magazine La Moto and Two Wheels Only. The idea of the test was to put all of the very best sportsbikes head-to-head on track in one huge, comprehensiv...

Aprilia SL750 Shiver vs Triumph Street Triple
By Jon Urry on 07/11/2008 12:51:03
The pool of great-looking alternative sports machines continues to grow, welcome then, to the Shiver and Street Triple
Standing in the crisp winter air I couldn’t help but admire the looks of these two bikes. Both Aprilia’s Shiver and Triumph’s Street Triple stand out from the crowd. Neither is particularly overstated, although the Aprilia’s gold frame is a bit excessive, but they both cut a clea...

Used Review: Kawasaki ZX-6R 1997 - 2001
By Bertie Simmonds on 05/04/2008 13:29:51
The ZX-6R exploded onto the scene in 1995 and has been with us ever since. Bertie Simmonds explores the myriad of myths and litany of lies about the G and J models of the big K's popular middleweight blaster.
Honda had been having its own way for too long. A succession of CBR600s had held the top spot in the sales charts and held sway in the hearts of the bike-buying public for the best part of ten years. Someone had to do something about it.Kawasaki finally delivered the goods with t...

Used Review: Aprilia RSV Mille & Mille R
By Bertie Simmonds on 05/04/2008 13:50:45
With looks and performance akin to a kick in the pods, Aprilia's Mille proved that not every Italian sportsbike had to be a blood-red, 90¡ V-twin from Bologna.
Three and-a-half years after announcing its V-twin superbike and Aprilia's Mille still hadn't arrived.People said the 60° layout, with it's power-sapping twin balancer shafts, was the problem. They said the shafts were proving to be too heavy and they were draining too much power...

Used Review: Yamaha YZF-R6
By Bertie Simmonds on 05/04/2008 16:08:21
Yamaha's feisty little R6 has deservedly gained a cult status amongst its fans, as a rev-happy, sharp-edged alternative to Honda's more easy-going CBR600.
THE YZF-R6 was Yamaha's hard-edged answer to the dominance of Honda's CBR600.It re-visited what Yamaha 600s had been doing best up until the launch of the Thundercat in 1996. The R6 was edgy, raw, uncompromising, revvy and fast, where the lap-Cat had been the sensible man's choic...

Used Review: Suzuki GSX-R750
By Bertie Simmonds on 28/09/2008 16:25:56
A classic headbanger's bike, the SRAD and 750Y models of the legendary GSX-R were once giant killers. But how do they stand the ravages of time?
Suzuki's seminal GSX-R range has always offered two things: value and performance. Oh, and reliability and kudos, too. So that's four things.Either way, how else have so many bikers been offered so much performance and pose for so little outlay? The SRAD and 750Y versions of the ...

First Ride: 2002 Triumph Speed Four
By Bertie Simmonds on 29/03/2008 19:11:57
Picture the scene if you will. It's 2006, we're in the middle of a recession and another Government still ignores the benefits of motorcycles to the detriment of UK road users everywhere.
Meanwhile, insurance premiums have soared for sportsbikes and Cliff Richard hits number one with a cover of Smack My Bitch Up. Scary. But it could happen and at the morning roll call of motorcycling in this apocalyptic horror, naked middleweights like the new Speed Four could be ...

First Ride: 2005 Ducati 999
By Jon Urry on 30/03/2008 21:50:04
Ducati's flagship sportsbike gets a new look as well as a whole load more power for 2005. Jon Urry samples the delights of the new 999
Ducati's 999 hasn't exactly set the world on fire since its launch in late 2002. While its predecessor, the 916, caused queues in dealers when it was launched in 1994, public reaction to Pierre Terreblanche's development of Massimo Tamburini's classic has been cool.Despite the 99...
