By Jon Urry on 26/10/2010 11:27:38
In 1985 Yamaha launched an unashamed brute of a bike. Born on the drag strip the V-Max was a mass of metal and chrome which instantly drew a cult following. Now, 23 years on, does the old master still command any respect?

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
's not a frantic or frenzied assault on the senses - just a crest of midrange power that you surf down the road. And it's really responsive low-down. In low gears it was a pussy cat, any throttle position, any rpm, it just pulls.Once you get your head

Pistonheads: Cruiser Face-off
By Ben Miller on 20/10/2010 10:32:55
The V-Rod muscle is Harley’s fastest bike yet, a slick, drag bike with sportsbike-chasing power. In the blue corner Victory’s 1731cc Hammer S is all about oil tanker presence and the grunt to shift cities. How do you like your power cruiser kicks?
. And right now, at large on the hill roads and quaint lanes of Sussex, the background music of a rural Friday morning in summer – the occasional whoosh of toy-strewn people carriers on the the school run; light aircraft droning lazily overhead like drunk bees

Kings of the stone age - Yamaha XJR1300 V Honda CB1300
By John Hogan on 08/04/2010 09:45:42
The two surviving muscle bikes of the modern age come together for a pose-down and a rideout, but which one is king?
The Southbank in the sunshine is as cool a place to ride bikes as any reasonable twisty road. Trade flowing for filtering and lean for lady watching – there is fun to be had. You may have to get used to having chicken strips on your tyres

By Simon Bowen on 18/01/2011 09:21:24
In 1984 if you wanted to go faster, you needed more cylinders. Honda’s CBX1000 and Kawasaki’s Z1300 are 12 pistons of sheer muscle.
we’re almost fighting for a second place here). Nor have they changed forever the direction of top-end performance motorcycling. What they have done is unleash two of the most wonderfully potent, inspired, ingenious and insane muscle

By Grant Leonard on 13/09/2010 14:36:47
Remember the Big One, the Honda CB1000? Well this is the Even Bigger One, a bike that, like its rider(!), combines massive muscle with definitive retro appeal

Niall's Spin - Harley-Davidson VRSCA V-Rod
By Niall Mackenzie on 08/10/2010 16:45:18
The boldest move for Harley-Davidson in recent history was the VRSCA V-Rod, Niall Mackenzie takes it for a Spin
't. The brakes worked well on the road, but care was needed not to lock the skinny front tyre and on track it was more of a challenge. But ultimately, the V-Rod isn't built for going around race tracks. Its sole purpose is to cruise up and down the Kings Roads

The original naked bad boy gets some extra bling and even more fire in its belly. Jon Urry braves an Italian hill climb course on the new Tuono Factory.
