First Ride: 2002 Suzuki GSX1400 review
By Niall Mackenzie on 20/09/2010 12:36:30
Just another member of the Bandit family? Not quite. Suzuki delve back into the history books to bring you a genuine muscle bike with all the trimmings. Niall Mackenzie finds it's not quite what he expected
totally at 8,000rpm. I was expecting a redline of at least 11,000rpm with loads of midrange torque to it as well.Well the midrange is certainly there - the 1400 makes a Bandit 1200 feel like a teenage girl's blouse in the middle - but first time I tried

First Ride: 2010 Kawasaki Z1000
By Visordown News on 18/11/2009 17:26:02
Roland Brown fires back his first thoughts on Kawasaki's new 1000cc naked
capacity from 953 to 1043cc, thanks to an increase in both bore and stroke. The previous Z1000 had a bore and stroke of 77.2 x 50.9mm: the 2010 model now sports a 77 x 56mm motor. Compression ratio is 11.8:1, and fueling is handled by a bank of 38mm Keihin

2009 BMW F800R first ride review
By Ben Cope on 09/04/2010 12:39:55
BMW continue their rapid expansion with the F800R. With a specification to rival Triumph’s mighty Street Triple, the twin-cylinder BM looks set to lead from the front
195 miles to a tank, which is on a par with an R1200GS, and I don’t doubt this. On my ride, after 80 miles the fuel gauge wasn’t even at half empty.The gearing is spot on for this kind of bike and the style of riding it’s designed for. First gear revs

Ducati Hypermotard 1100 EVO SP first ride review
By Ben Cope on 15/06/2010 10:51:14
The SP version costs £10300 and that’s before you throw the really good stuff at it. It’s expensive, but more is more
. None of these are standard on the EVO SP and they’ll cost you an extra £1500.So the model we tested is £2700 more than the standard EVO meaning it’ll cost you £11,800. That’s 1500 quid’s worth more than the stock EVO SP – a serious amount of money

2010 Yamaha Super Ténéré launch test review
By Kevin Ash on 22/06/2010 11:17:24
Built to rival BMW’s über-selling GS, but missing the mark in many areas, not least price. Not Yamaha’s best Super Ten
the same but different, it captured imaginations – and sales figures – everywhere.The Super Ténéré from Yamaha takes a different approach. As the GS sells so well, let’s make a GS, with a Yamaha badge. So it has an 1199cc twin, the same power output (if a
