By Sachin Rao on 02/05/2013 21:15:00
Will the third sibling in Honda's new 500 family make you take the long way round?
empty middle of the market. We spent the better part of a warm spring day riding the X in the beautiful mountain twisties around Catalunya to see how it fits in.The fraternal twin of the sports-styled CBR500R and the naked commuter CB500F, which we rode

First Ride: Harley-Davidson Breakout review
By Ben Cope on 30/05/2013 18:17:26
Low-slung with a huge wheelbase. The Breakout is here to make a statement.
YOU don't waste time talking about your Superbike's pillion seat or your Supermoto's lack of wind protection.So a piece telling you how Harley's new Breakout isn't as quick, nor corners as well as a naked bike isn't going to tell you anything you

Three And A Half Grand Secondhand Steel
By Jon Urry on 14/10/2007 15:22:12
With the unlikely premise of £3500 fast burning holes in their pockets, four TWO teamsters are buying second-hand steel. It's head v hearts all the way
down the road. Which was a sign to walk away - a sign I chose to ignore because it looked so good.So to the proof. The engine felt great. Yes, against other naked competition it felt underpowered and a bit weedy, but on its own and on a greasy back road

NEC International Motorcycle Show 2005
By Admin on 27/10/2005 12:24:53
A round up of this year's NEC motorcycle show
't they make a decent naked version of the CBR1000RR? There must be demand for this sort of bike. Although we must add that their Market Research department is significantly larger than ours..The FMX was launched in Madeira earlier this year. It's Honda's Fun

By Jon Urry on 27/04/2008 22:03:57
Whitham takes us by the hand and leads us through the streets of Huddersfield. Four battered middleweights, a bag of chips and a Fanta, please.

Road test: 2008 KTM 950SM vs. Ducati Hypermotard
By Jon Urry on 06/11/2008 16:37:38
What would get you out of bed an hour early in winter just to play on deserted roads? try the new KTM 990SM or Ducati’s Hypermotard. It certainly worked for us...
mark, which is just about right for a big naked bike. Fast enough to thrill, but not to get a ban. Which is why many riders are turning their backs on superbikes to buy big supermotos. But while speed isn’t always the danger with these bikes, stupidity

By Roadhoover on 13/09/2007 09:15:00
2007 Zed 1000
at the time, Kawasaki have resurrected the theme with the 2007 Z1000. Progressing from the Zephyrs and ZRX via the now also classic Gpz900R range and the ZX9's.The modern day Z1000 is a symbiosis of sports bike and naked bike, which has come about

I Love The 70's
By Stuart Barker on 27/10/2010 15:42:48
Whats not to love about the 70's, lairy cars, crazy dress-sense, hairy women (forget the last bit). TWO feature looking at 70's biking
in panniers and slabs - the first bike was as naked as the stars of Emanuelle. But aftermarket panniers became popular with Wing owners and Honda eventually incorporated them as standard along with cake mixers, teasmaids and vacuum cleaner extensions

I Love The 90s
By Stuart Barker on 04/11/2010 09:39:01
Choose a FireBlade. Choose a Ducati 916. Choose born-again bikers, track days, Mick Doohan and Carl Fogarty. Choose the 1990s.
by altering bore and stroke. Not a recipe for making the best looking bikes around, but it gave us all something to shout about.But the T595 and the naked T509, released in 1997, were not modular bikes and finally marked Triumph out as a force to be reckoned
