BMW HP2 Megamoto road test review
By Jon Urry on 30/06/2010 10:20:01
BMW's most radical, stripped-down bike ever. With only 30 in the country and a stratospheric price tag of £13k, the Megamoto is as exclusive as it is rampant. Get ready to spend your city bonus
just 179kg (20kg lighter than a GS), but comes with 113bhp and 85ft-lb of torque thanks to a tweaked and wonderfully revvy Boxer engine. Hand-built and balanced by BMW's special projects department at their Munich factory, the HP2 designers have

Aprilia RSV4 Factory vs. Cumbria
By Mark Forsyth on 04/11/2010 11:36:01
Highway to Heaven: Six bikes, six roads, six twats, six stories. Ben Bardon captures Mark Forsyth struggling to get to grips with roads he’s known for a lifetime (and more).
as the revs in second gear reach the redline. To me the noise a bike makes is as important as how it behaves dynamically. The first series of serious curves demand my full attention. It’s not safe to use both sides of the road, but there’s already

By Niall Mackenzie on 19/02/2005 16:32:41
It's all change in the supersport class. First Yamaha, then Honda, now Kawasaki. Niall braves the rain again and tries his best to stay on board the new ZX-6R
used to these niggles, but were I to own this bike I would make minor alterations to make riding more comfortable.Its best feature though is the free-revving, 130bhp motor (claimed, and 136 with ram air effect), which starts with a wail around 8000rpm
