Ready to Race with Triumph's Speed Triple
By Jon Urry on 15/04/2010 13:52:24
Triumph’s Street Triple beats the competition on the road, but how about on the track? We enter a completely bog stock street triple into a national race to find out
Despite there being 28 other riders lined up on the grid in front of me, and another five behind, this is the least of my worries. No, what is causing me the most bother at this precise moment is the rider occupying grid position 22. This man-mountain, who is currently dwarfing h...

Niall, Gus, Jon and Daryll get back to nature and dabble in a bit of group nakedness
the GSX-R1000, R1, FireBlade are amazing machines, riding them on the British roads often isn't a very enjoyable experience. I mean, we are talking about bikes that will break the national speed limit in first gear, wheelie off the throttle in second

Road Test: Yamaha FZ1 v. Ducati Monster
By Jon Urry on 20/05/2008 10:10:35
Psst... Don't tell anyone, but there's a revolution underway: proper sports bike motors wrapped in stripped-down, sharp-steering chassis. Run for the hills! The naked generation is upon us!
. As a biking nation we're obsessed by the fastest, lightest piece of Japanese exotica that will make us 0.1 of a second faster than last year's must-have model.But the tide is changing. Not all that quickly, but there's a definite swing away from

Road Test: C-R40 v Enfield Cafe Racer v Bonneville
By Jon Urry on 26/05/2008 15:21:27
There are still a few bulldogs out there, bearing their teeth at the foreign hordes. Let's celebrate all things British with a little help from two of our own musical legends. Pip pip and tally ho!
Not so long ago Britain was a proud nation. For decades the British bike manufacturers had been world leaders. Norton, Royal Enfield, Matchless, AJS, Triumph and BSA (among many) had led where others followed. And copied. We were the envy

Road Test: Versys V Bandit 650S V MT-03
By Jon Urry on 13/04/2008 13:09:52
We destroyed Australia in the rugby World Cup, and quite possibly that’s all that matters.To give our underdog team a bit of extra support, TWO took the backroad route to France on a Kawasaki Versys, a Yamaha MT-03 and a Suzuki 650 Bandit...
By the time this magazine comes out, England’s fate in the rugby World Cup will be sealed. We’ll either be elevated into a rugby-loving nation (if we win) or not really bothered (if we lose). But three days after we rode to France to support our

By Jon Urry on 27/03/2008 14:37:23
Eight bikes, each a winner in its class, slug it out in the ultimate test. BMW R1200GS, Harley-Davidson VRSCA V-ROD, Honda CBR600RR, Kawasaki Z750, Kawasaki ZRX1200R, Suzuki GSX-R1000K5, Triumph Speed Triple, Triumph Sprint ST.
. But I accept corners aren't what it's designed to do, and as a sheer posing tool the thing's fantastic."Jon had another view: "I love the V-Rod, but riding it above 60mph is a waste of time. I agree with Tim up to a point, the great engine and cruiser
