By John Hogan on 22/05/2009 12:09:41
TWO's John Hogan reports back from the launch of Derbi's new 125s in Barcelona
Derbi GPRI’ve just got back from the launch of two new Derbi 125’s. The first, the GPR, is a little cracker. It’s only fifteen bhp, but definitely looks the part. From twenty metres away it reminded me of a Honda CBR600F. Derbi take the 50 and 125cc

Launch Report: Buell 1125CR road test
By Visordown News on 03/10/2008 18:14:56
Bertie Simmonds reports back from the launch of Buell's 1125CR
