By John Hogan on 17/11/2010 12:30:17
Two wheels versus four wheels challenge. only with a difference. In the orange corner a rampant KTM Supermoto. And in the red corner is a vicious little 250cc superkart. the location was Lydd, the weather terrible, who would win in a five lap race
Meet Phil Jones and his 65bhp, 113kg, 250cc superkart. Phil competes in the UK Championship and is considered a rather dab hand behind the wheel. Now meet Ady Smith and his 75bhp, 105kg, KTM supermoto. The slight power advantage that Ady might have would be reduced due to the fac...

First Ride: 2008 BMW HP2 Sport
By John Hogan on 17/02/2008 14:09:52

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
