First Ride: Ducati Diavel Carbon review
By Ben Cope on 07/02/2011 12:11:18
The Diavel is in the details. So is it any good?
cruiser, it smashes the cruiser mould due to it using a 160bhp engine from the 1198 superbike, with a few changes. It has fully adjustable suspension, front and rear, meaning it’s as well sprung as the sportiest nakeds and the brakes from the 1198SP mean

Ducati Hypermotard 1100 EVO SP first ride review
By Ben Cope on 15/06/2010 10:51:14
The SP version costs £10300 and that’s before you throw the really good stuff at it. It’s expensive, but more is more
. None of these are standard on the EVO SP and they’ll cost you an extra £1500.So the model we tested is £2700 more than the standard EVO meaning it’ll cost you £11,800. That’s 1500 quid’s worth more than the stock EVO SP – a serious amount of money

First ride: Triumph Daytona 675R track review
By Ben Cope on 12/04/2012 12:07:34
We ride Triumph's top of the range Daytona on Bridgestone's new S20 tyres
with Bridgestone's new S20 tyres. They're not as track focused as Pirelli's Supercorsa SP but they're still round, black and stick like a good'un.What I love about the Daytona 675 is its size and its riding position. It's small, narrow and easy to flick between

MV Agusta Brutale 1090RR first ride review
By Ben Cope on 21/06/2010 16:28:55
Introducing two new Brutales from the Italian masters of style, courtesy of Harley-Davidson
-minded and harsh, not just with power delivery, and it didn’t suffer fools, nor foolish riding.So to calm things down the wheelbase of the 1090RR is 28mm longer, thanks largely to a 20mm longer swingarm, so its stability is improved and the whole package is further

Ducati Streetfighter 848: Track review
By Ben Cope on 30/09/2011 13:41:17
Ducati's smaller-engined Streetfighter. What's it like on track?
hate this but it’s Honda-like in terms of smoothness and delivery.Bar the engine, two of the Streetfighter’s best assets when it comes to cornering are its wide bars and new 180/60 section rear Pirelli. This new profile, only a slight change from a 180/55

Buell 1125CR - Road test review
By Ben Cope on 12/10/2009 17:00:50
If we bought motorbikes using our head alone, Buell would be out of business. Will the 1125CR help Buell onwards and upwards?
, humans would have evolved to suit his handlebar design, but as yet, we haven’t.So in town, the 1125CR scores some good points, so I pointed it in the direction of Dorset and clicked up a 150-mile blast to Lyme Regis to see what it thought of the fast A-roads
