By Mike Scott on 01/04/2006 12:12:21
Biaggi gets a rough ride, Pedrosa gets to grips with the new RCV and Paul Denning washes his own underpants - Mike Scott explains what it's all about
. Suzuki tend to do what Honda says, ever since asking Pops Honda's permission to follow him to the Isle of Man TT races, way back in 1959.Why put poor beardy through all this misery though? Why didn't Japan Inc just quietly hire a hit man, and have him

travelled to a few dos together.It's shit news and the Isle of Man's like that. Everybody who goes knows the risks and Dave knew them as well as anybody. The thing about Dave that makes it easier to think of is that he would still have raced

Niall Mackenzie Column - Aug 2009
By Niall Mackenzie on 01/08/2009 14:35:11
Niall puts his weight behind the Aprilia RSV4 Factory, but he’s not so sure about electric race bikes at the TT. Surely noise is a big slice of the appeal of racing?
this the 2009 Isle of Man TT will have come and gone and, with it, the first laps on electric bikes. Although their paws must struggle with twistgrips, I’m toldpolar bears and endangered penguins like these silent machines but I’m not sure I’ll ever be a fan

James Whitham Column - Aug 2008

This month James is reminded of his youth when he learnt a valuable lesson. an angry man in black leathers with an orange bib gave him a bollocking...
at the Isle of man TT was as enjoyable as it always is. This year, to mark the 50th anniversary of Ducati’s first entry in a TT, and (more importantly in my book) the 30th anniversary of Hailwood’s famous F1 TT win in ’78, everyone taking part in the parade

How Ninjas took over the world. From GPZ900 to ZX-10R
By Roland Brown on 10/05/2010 16:58:26
The original GPZ900R of 1984 sired a long and illustrious family of Ninjas that are a huge part of motorcycling today. From the mental ZX-10R to the blistering ZZ-R1400, none of them would have existed without the GPZ900 25 years ago
, new technology and performance that blew away everything else on the road. How good was the original GPZ900R? When I tested one against four of its closest rivals on the Isle of Man in 1984, the Ninja wasn’t just the best bike of the bunch, it was also
