Honda CB1000R UK road test review
By Jon Urry on 04/03/2010 12:08:42
After years of trying (and failing) to make a decent streetbike has Honda finally got it right?
, yet key, ingredients. It needs bottom end power, instant power, and lots of it. How often do you go over 100mph on a streetbike? Hardly ever, if at all. It’s impractical as well as bloody uncomfortable. A top whack of 130mph is more than enough

King of Bikes
By Jon Urry on 27/03/2008 14:37:23
Eight bikes, each a winner in its class, slug it out in the ultimate test. BMW R1200GS, Harley-Davidson VRSCA V-ROD, Honda CBR600RR, Kawasaki Z750, Kawasaki ZRX1200R, Suzuki GSX-R1000K5, Triumph Speed Triple, Triumph Sprint ST.
. But I accept corners aren't what it's designed to do, and as a sheer posing tool the thing's fantastic."Jon had another view: "I love the V-Rod, but riding it above 60mph is a waste of time. I agree with Tim up to a point, the great engine and cruiser
