By Niall Mackenzie on 11/10/2010 15:11:08
With a face that only a mother could love the BMW R1200ST held it's own in the sports tourer class, despite it's looks

Niall's Spin: Aprilia ETV1000 Caponord
By Niall Mackenzie on 28/09/2010 13:40:21
Even though the Capo may have a few negative points, it fares well in positive things too. But wrongly ignored or rightly dismissed? Niall Mackenzie finds out.

Niall's Spin: KTM Duke II
By Niall Mackenzie on 28/09/2010 14:41:26
It might be light and peppy to start off with but the fun quickly dries up once you get started.

Niall's Spin: Suzuki Van Van 125
By Niall Mackenzie on 28/09/2010 14:49:31
The Suzuki Van Van's appeal may be limited but there's more to the bike than you can see
Click to read: Suzuki Van Van 125 owners reviews, Suzuki Van Van 125 specs and to see the Suzuki Van Van 125 image gallery.LIKE RONNIE CORBETT, the Suzuki Van Van is small and loveable rather than fast or sexy. But you're not going to buy one

Niall's Spin: YZF1000R Thunderace
By Niall Mackenzie on 28/09/2010 14:54:40
Even though it never matched the best sports bikes of the day, there are plenty of good reasons why you should give it at least a test ride.

Used Test: Honda CBR900RR Fireblade
By Niall Mackenzie on 30/09/2010 14:39:16
The Fireblade is fast, comfy and even has a bigger engine. What more could you ask for?

Niall's Spin: Honda VFR800
By Niall Mackenzie on 30/09/2010 12:27:55
The VFR800 could be worse than its predecessor but it's still an institution to be reckoned with...

Niall's Spin: Yamaha YZF750R
By Niall Mackenzie on 30/09/2010 14:54:27
You might think it is the best sports bike but its oil problem may get you to think twice
