Second Chance - Honda CBR600 2001-2006
By Jon Urry on 28/03/2008 15:44:45
Want it all? You're not alone. The CBR600F is Britain's best-selling motorbike of all time and not without good reason: it really is all things to all men (and women)
It's not Honda's best-selling sportsbike for nothingPlenty of people overlook it in favour of its racy stable-mate, the newer 'double-R' CBR600RR. The truth is most of us would be better off with the 'F', even if it is considerably less glamorous. It's a totally practical bike bu...

Feed the habit: Living with the Ducati 1098R
By John Cantlie on 29/06/2010 10:55:25
Ducati’s hand-made and deliciously savage 1098R is unashamedly brutal, it takes no prisoners and makes no excuses. We lived with the £26k masterpiece for three weeks to find out if you can really live with such excess
