Road Test: RSV-R vs. Tornado TRE vs. 999S vs. F4
By Jon Urry on 22/04/2008 21:37:33
Four of the sexiest Italian bikes on the planet, a run through the Alps and a cappuccino in Milan
When it comes to beauty nothing can beat the Italians. From the women to the food everything about the country oozes sex appeal, and the bikes are no exception. When it comes to style icons and creating bikes that tug on your heartstrings

By Ben Miller on 26/07/2010 09:20:37
One manufacturer; BMW, one heavyweight; K1300R and one middleweight; F800R. We settle the size issue once and for all, round one...
For as long as there have been motorcycles there’s been two types of streetbike: the middleweight and the heavyweight. In the 1970s it was Kawasaki’s Z650 and decade-defining Z1. Years later Suzuki offered the iconic Bandit in two flavours, 600

Second bike doesn't mean second best
By Jon Bentman on 01/12/2010 15:52:42
A single bike in the garage isn't enough for some of us. But think beyond the winter hack, the 'shed' and the humdrum commuter
with ally ones and laced them up with stainless spokes, and done little bits as the need has come along. I'd love to get a set of original pipes for it as well, but the cost is prohibitive. I'd like it to look original, it's such an iconic bike."It was also

Harley-Davidson Softail Slim
By Visordown News on 02/02/2012 09:47:20
Harley's Softail goes on a diet
. Call it old school. Call it lean and mean. What's left is the elemental Softail profile and iconic Harley-Davidson® style that recalls classic custom bobbers of the 1950s."It's time to make the engine the focal point of the motorcycle," says Harley

First Ride: 2012 Honda Fireblade review
By mark forsyth on 25/11/2011 17:38:11
More grip, Vicar
on track but sat on pit lane, in the dying embers of a late November warming Algarve sun, the best bit about the new Blade is pretty bloody obvious. It looks gorgeous in the flesh. Pointy-nosed, aggressive and ultra-compact. Like Porsche's iconic 911 there
