Niall's Spin - Triumph TT600 (2002-03)
By Niall Mackenzie on 08/10/2010 16:15:13
Originally released as a challenger to the supersport crown held by the CBR600 and R6, the Triumph TT600 never really lived up to it's potential
of all, not only does the TT's press pillorying mean used prices are in bargain basement territory, but by going for the '02/'03 models you'll also get the ones that came with the most sorted fuelling and most of the hideous stutters of the '00/'01 models

By Niall Mackenzie on 08/10/2010 14:27:07
With an engine donated from the exotic 916 how does Ducati's sport tourer compare with the rest of this tough market, Niall Mackenzie investigates...
by finally giving the great ST chassis the shunt it deserves. Not only will it demolish Alpine passes for breakfast, but it'll also make it further than the end of the road once fully laden with pillion and luggage.Next to a VFR the ST4 is a touch

Niall's Spin: Kawasaki ZX-6R (1995 - 2005)
By Niall Mackenzie on 08/10/2010 10:25:12
Niall gives his verdict on a decades worth of Kawasaki ZX-6Rs
seemingly-dead crocodile, Kawasaki came to life with an evil snap of its jaws in late 2002. The result was this. The tiny, track-focused 636cc engined ZX-6R was nothing like its large road-orientated predecessor. And it's superb, incredibly fast with race

Niall's Spin: Yamaha YZF-R6 (2000-01)
By Niall Mackenzie on 11/10/2010 11:47:52
Contender for the greatest 600 of all time and still a class act on the track and road, the bike that set the modern day standard in the supersport class is still a cracker
. Scraped pegs will indicate track use; you'd be hard pushed to deck out an R6 on the road.Brakes were highly rated when new, but things move on and now they're rated 'okay'. And the passage of time isn't kind to Yamaha's OE stoppers, so maintenance

overhaul and you'll be laughing.Key ID: twin headlights - not behind extra glass, lots of holes in the fairingWalk away: from shoddy DIY 17-inch front wheel conversions. It can be done well using the right parts, but the chances are it won't be
