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

Road Test: Hornet 600 v Z750 v Bandit 650 v FZ6
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.
us to. He's right when he says it's top biking country; the surface on the whole is excellent and the roads tight and twisty, perfect for our naked middleweights.With Whitham leading the way the pace wasn't exactly touring speed, so I was quite

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

2007 Zed 1000 - 30 years on

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

Splitting heirs: Suzuki GSF600 V GSF1200
By Chris Moss on 20/09/2010 11:41:17
Suzuki's Bandit models brought brand-new sports motorcycles suddenly into the price range of just about anyone. Five years and one re-vamp later, how do the 1200 and 600 stack up against each other?
Bandit soon earned stuntbike badass appeal.A minor re-design in 2000 saw both bikes get a slightly different - and mainly cosmetic - frame design. Each naked bike gets an option of a half-faired model to keep the elements at bay. This is still

Road Test: Tuono R vs. TDM vs. Varadero
By Colin Goodwin on 12/05/2008 21:41:46
Who are everywhere right now. Nope, these Arctic Monkeys are our brave idiots who rode three unsuitable motorcycles to Switzerland. To do the Cresta Run. Eh?
, the 1000R is the real deal: a proper naked superbike. No soft cams, re-worked management or other neutering - just remove the RSV-R's bodywork and add a few styling tweaks. The 1000R shares the RSV-R's new 997cc V-twin motor that is both more powerful (up 8

Paul Denning - Interview
By Visordown on 30/06/2010 09:35:17
Suzuki MotoGP team manager and Crescent boss Paul Denning talks Moto2, the purity of 990 GP bikes without traction control and why Capirossi is special
Jorge from what little I know of him I’d say he’s misunderstood. He’s a bit different. He’d like to be an actor if he wasn’t racing motorbikes and he’s quite an expressive individual – he doesn’t mind getting naked on his website and all that stuff

Living with a 2009 Triumph Bonneville
By Barry Tavner on 16/08/2009 15:56:09
A posing bike for the poser, Barry Tavner tries to capture the 'cool' on the Triumph Bonneville
on that 2,000- mile trip to the South of France! Lookswise I’m not a fan, but it certainly does a good job of stopping my head getting battered by the wind and seeing as it only takes about five minutes to fit or remove I’m going to leave the Bonnie naked
