Ducati 1198 and 1198S review
By Niall Mackenzie on 29/03/2010 11:29:09
Niall brushes elbows with Troy Bayliss at the launch of Ducati’s new big-bore superbike. It’s a monster machine that will put hairs on the inside of your eyelids, let alone your chest...
take an educated guess as to what bike it will be. I was told by Urry (who normally gets it right) that I would probably be riding a new 848S so I was pretty confused when the1198 was unveiled at the Milan show.At the same time I was surprised to hear

Ducati Streetfighter first ride review
By Rob Hoyles on 07/04/2010 16:40:55
If you thought the S4RS was barking, then think again. Ducati’s latest machine goes right back to streetfighting basics…
of what was an example of Ducati’s latest piece of engineering excellence, I take a few breathless moments to reflect on how I got here. And it had all been going so well.Indeed, it was an event full of surprises. The first, Ducati’s choice of venue

First Ride: 2002 Yamaha TDM900
By Bertie Simmonds on 29/03/2008 14:03:53
Let me see now. Ten years ago British biking was on the verge of something big. Our bike buying trends were going to be challenged by a bug-eyed kid from Yamaha - the TDM850.

First Ride: 2007 Aprilia Shiver SL750
By Kevin Ash on 02/04/2008 15:27:50
At last Aprilia have arrived with a middleweight. Laden with high-tech features and cutting edge styling. Only it's 750cc. And £5600. You have to ask, is this cheating?
Golf then.The biggest pain with riding a prototype was a more pragmatic one: it wasn't road registered, so Aprilia blagged the Fiat group's vast test centre at Bellaco, west of Milan - ideal aside from an understandable car bias manifested as Armco

First Ride: Mondial Piega-Monza
By Daryll Young on 04/07/2003 10:16:12
Probably the most beautiful production bike in the world, can the Mondial Piega-Monza handle as good as it looks? Daryll sneaked through quarantine to test the bike at Monza
Road testing for TWO does have its perks from time to time and, for me, the launch of the new Mondial Piega has to rate as one of the top ones to date. Not only would I have a chance to ride the brand new and very limited edition Piega, the test

First Ride: 2008 Yamaha YZF-R6
By James Whitham on 10/04/2008 23:14:59
James Whitham used to be a bit tasty on an R6 in World Supersport, so he’s uniquely placed to give the ‘08 bike a proper seeing-to...
of confidence and feedback. The slightly more crouched riding position could be a teeny bit harder on your arms during any commuting duties on the road, but the increased torque and midrange grunt make the new bike more usable in every application than the old
