It's supermoto-a-go-go as Team Two heads to France on a madcap mission to raise the Pyrenees to the ground. Allez!

Supersport Superstars - 2005 600cc test
By Jon Urry on 01/03/2005 12:09:13
How do you split five of the best supersport machines ever made? It's not easy, but using two of the UK's most successful and experienced racers, a Spanish race track and a day's riding on dry mountain roads is certainly a good start...
Sitting in a Spanish bar following two days of testing the new breed of 600s on both the track and road, we still haven't come to a conclusion. There are two pressing questions. First, who is our favourite film star and secondly, which is the best

Litre Beaters: 2003 1000cc test
By Niall Mackenzie & Jon Urry on 19/05/2003 11:29:51
When you absolutely, positively have to go as fast as possible from one point to another there is only one class to turn to. But when the siren goes off is the new GSX-R still the fastest way to get to a nuclear bunker?
of a bunker when he sees said missile coming.And in the 1000s class there is only one newcomer for 2003 - Suzuki's GSX-R1000. Honda's FireBlade, Yamaha's R1 and Kawasaki's ZX-9R remain unchanged, bar colour schemes while the Suzuki gets a new frame

Road Test: R1200GS v. CBF1000F v. Tiger 1050 review
By Jon Urry on 26/05/2008 15:11:19
Why let your choice of bike confine your riding experience? Expand your horizons and visit new places with the latest breed of multi-tasking bike.
The boundaries between bike classes are becoming more and more blurred. Over the past two decades or so we've seen niche development and marketing create sports bikes that are simply sports bikes, tourers that only tour and off-road bikes that do

Colditz
By Jon Urry on 01/11/2005 16:41:47
It's every officer's duty to escape. So our four battle-weary soldiers slipped the confines of Blighty for the freedom of Germany's autobahns to stretch the legs of four very fast bikes
, Suzuki Hayabusa and Kawasaki ZX-12R obediently followed the cop car into a lay-by, a blue Honda Blackbird continued down the road on its merry way.This moment of police interference wasn't wholly unexpected. For the last 200 miles the four bikes had

Road Test: 2007 600 Supersport review
By Jon Urry on 26/05/2007 20:30:05
Have the latest sports 600s taken track focus to a level where it has limited their viability as road bikes? It certainly looks that way, but then looks can be deceiving...
oddball capacity is the Triumph track or road focused? Handling and styling say track, engine says road.So with all this in mind the only way to test the latest generation of sports 600s was to ride them in every environment. As well as letting Niall do

Naked bikes and rude place names. Is there no level to which the TWO test team won't stoop to for a cheap laugh? Apparently not.

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
excessive, but they both cut a clear and defined line from the normal. And by normal I mean a Japanese middleweight streetbike.But can any of the Japanese bikes really be called normal? The likes of Honda’s Hornet and Kawasaki’s Z750 are desperately trying

Road test: Aprilia Tuono vs. Triumph Speed Triple
By Jon Urry on 19/12/2008 12:28:04
Last year Aprilia's Tuono and Triumph's Speed Triple topped the street bike sales charts in the UK. What makes these bikes catch rider's imaginations
’s instantly recognisable as a Speed Triple thanks to its twin headlights and chunky, rounded styling. A far cry from the likes of the Z1000 or Honda’s new CB1000R with their almost desperate-to-be-different style.Then there is Aprilia’s Tuono, a bike that has
