Too big and pig-ugly is how the Honda Varadero been described but what's it really like to own?
Storm motor, the comfort the bike provides, the quality of the finish, its general largesse and the sheer unburstable nature that the 'flying wing' logo provides.Launched in 1999, the Honda Varadero was named after a beach resort in Cuba and utilised

First Ride: 2007 Honda CBF600S
By Jon Urry on 10/04/2008 22:19:58
An easy learner friendly machine, or a bike with about as much soul as a sandbag? Honda’s middleweight goes for function over style...
that gramps had exceeded 100mph, got his knee down and pulled a wheelie. But you know what, I reckon that if they asked me if I had ridden a CBF600S I would struggle to remember. Which is the problem with this new Honda: it’s an instantly forgettable bike

By John Cantlie on 10/04/2008 22:59:27
Older than the hills themselves, Honda’s original Adventure bike just got itself a total makeover for 2008. And a whole new lease of life...
forward to inherit the earth.And into this odd-looking world comes a new Honda Transalp. I remember these things from back in 1987 when I was a mere nipper. They were white and blue and nobody was quite sure what to do with them, so they took them off-road

Used Review: Honda VTR Firestorm
By Bertie Simmonds on 05/04/2008 13:42:06
In the mid-90s, V-twins were red, temperamental and raced by Carl Fogarty. Until Honda brought out the Firestorm, that is. We examine Honda's first big-twin sportsbike
-pivotless connection between the swingarm, motor and mainframe. Suspension was 'normal', so where the Suzuki TL1000S used a separate spring and a rotary damper, the Honda had a tried-and-tested rising-rate Showa shock at the rear with Showa forks at the front

First Ride: 2006 Honda Fireblade
By Niall Mackenzie on 20/09/2010 22:47:05
It wasn't broken but Honda fixed it anyway. Niall plays 'spot the difference' with a freshly honed 2006 Fireblade
thrash in safety without the fear of spilling Werther's Originals all over the road.So why fix it if it's not broken? Honda says Fireblade owners complained of a lack of midrange grunt, losing out to the competition accelerating from 70mph and above

Brit bikers have never really been turned on by off-road styled bikes. We've dismissed them as slow, soggy and unsexy and have only bought them in small numbers. But ignoring the virtues of these adventure sports machines is very much our loss
