First Ride: Ducati Multistrada 1000
By Bertie Simmonds on 14/09/2010 10:16:47

for the merest balls-up is a 20 foot drop. If you're lucky.Roll off the throttle, Simmonds, and repeat after me. "The Multistrada isn't a sportsbike, the Multistrada isn't a sportsbike, the Multistrada isn't a sportsbike." It does a damn good impression of one

Discuss: This decade's future classics
By Ben Cope on 10/12/2012 10:53:26
Which of today's motorcycles will be tomorrow's classics?
This year, a zero-mile Yamaha R7 was sold at auction for £23,000 (£25,000 with buyer's premium).That was a bargain if you consider the new price in 1999 which was £20,000 and trace back the 'value' of that £20,000 in 1999, it would equate to around £27,000 today.So what bikes fro...

Road Test: Ducati Multistrada 1000DS
By Jon Urry on 27/04/2008 20:47:54
I have to say I'm a bit of a Multistrada fan. It's one of those strange bikes that, initially, I wanted to hate, but has since really grown on me.
we still snap up Ducati's sportsbikes rather than its more practical all-round machines.So why is this? In Europe the biking culture is a bit different to ours. Here in the UK biking is more of a leisure activity than a way of life. Hence the reason

Origin of the Species - Kawasaki ZX-10R
By John Hogan on 29/03/2010 15:11:09
