Living with a 2009 Yamaha YZF-R6
By Niall Mackenzie on 16/08/2009 17:00:04
Niall Mackenzie spends some quality time with the Yamaha R6, here's his review
the variable intake trumpets are doing their stuff but the R6 is a different story. At around 13,500 rpm the pitch of the engine changes, a two-stroke–esque powerband kicks in and off she goes to the redline. I have since seen a Dyno chart that actually shows a

Alyssia Edwards
By Visordown on 26/10/2001 16:34:38
Meet WSB Champion Colin Edwards' missus. The feisty gal from Texas may not be the tallest lady on the planet, but Alyssia Edwards packs a mean punch and keeps Colin in check no problem
me and it went from there. Ten years later here we still are.17 or 27 he hasn't changed at all, he still makes me laugh and that's important. The other day he was doing this dance which he called his 'sexy dance' and he looked so stupid, wiggling

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...
/tank interference with a test ride should you be looking at purchasing one. I didn’t find it an issue, but this particular snapper is quite old and I’m told old men’s knackers start to drop and go saggy.Changing the subject slightly but still talking about saggy

Living with a 2004 Suzuki GSX-R600 K4
By Harriet Ridley on 15/06/2004 10:18:16
Harriet experiences the K4 GSX-R600
-stroke-alike, minus the smell of Castrol oil and ring-ding-ding. The handling was awesome, but you might as well have got off to push if you didn't keep the four-stroke, carburetted motor in its 10,000rpm sweet spot. Three major upgrades later and the GSX-R600 K4

Road Test: R1200GS v Bandit 1200 v Sprint ST v FZ1
By Jon Urry on 18/05/2008 22:27:57
Can an ageing, bum basic £5299 all rounder really offer the best of all worlds against a raft of higher priced, specialist competition? Read on to see where the smart money lies
analogue clock housing.But as soon as I set off I changed my mind. It rides beautifully. I don't like the ABS (but I don't like it on any bike) but the suspension is comfortable yet firm enough to be fun through the twisties and that 20-year-old oil

Split the Difference
By James Whitham , Rob Hoyles , Jon Urry on 07/09/2009 16:28:52
Despite being brilliant to ride, to many riders bikes are little more than an efficient form of transport.

Pete's ride to Spain
By nigel100 on 19/03/2007 17:37:39
How to take the low road to a high holiday in the pyrenees
in Perpignan.Well it pissed it down, non stop. My boots overflowed with water, even inside my helmet was wet as I'd forgotten the air vent on the top was open.... By about 7 pm I'd had enough and my luck changed, I passed a bar/hotel with a Joe Bar flag

Used Review: Yamaha Fazer 1000 V Honda Hornet 900
By Chris Moss on 05/04/2008 13:18:13
Both these bikes are the product of 'modular engineering'. But do they represent a good buy?
, and muscling the Yamaha around doesn't need much effort at all. Even when you're going fast, changing direction requires nothing more than a slight tug on the bars and weighting of the footrests. The Fazer might not boast the sort of sharp chassis geometry

Field of Dreams
By Stuart Barker on 22/10/2007 15:24:09
An empty field and a beaten-up moped. It's how most of us first began our love affair with biking and a rite of passage we will never forget. TWO celebrates the cult of the fieldbike
of an engine, the thrill of moving without having to peddle, the first bite of drum brakes. Hell, if you were really lucky, the first ever gear change on anything other than the Raleigh Grifter you'd been honing your two-wheeled skills on in preparation
