First ride: Ducati 1098R
By Jon Urry on 06/11/2008 13:03:10
Thinking of buying a 1098R Ducati? Check out our first ride report of the ultimate factory superbike for the road
diagrams on his PowerPoint presentation I reckon he knows his stuff. Well, that and the fact he claimed the technology wedged in a small box the size of a fag packet under my arse is the same as Casey Stoner uses on his MotoGP bike.The reason for my

Jamie Whitham Column - Feb 2002
By Jamie Whitham on 01/02/2002 13:09:41
Jamie learns this month that you just can't surprise your missus
for a week for her. She said to me "It's quite a lot of money but it's worth it, so can you buy me it as all my birthday and Christmas and all me presents rolled into one?" I'd heard it all before, all typical woman stuff. But I thought I would try

By Visordown on 03/08/2010 16:39:29
Former King of the Mountain with 15 Isle Of Man TT wins to his name, John McGuinness, takes Visordown for a ride in a motorhome... so, some words from the ‘Morecambe Missile’
of every single section is amazing, but to do that faster than anyone else in the world and win is such a hard feeling to explain, but that’s what keeps me coming back.Valentino Rossi presented me with my trophy last year It was great. He was being pulled

James Whitham Column - Jun 02
By James Whitham on 13/06/2002 11:17:06
This months Whit jets around the world for his commentary and musical gigs
. It means we all save on fees here and there, and there is another reason. My present house is through the wall from me mam, and I were a bit worried who would be moving in next door. So everyone's happy this way. They have been down measuring up and talking

Living with a 2003 BMW R1150RT
By Johnny Daukes on 12/11/2003 15:44:14
No-one in the Visordown office knows who Johnny Daukes is, but presumably he's a relation of Simon Daukes from Haymarket days. Nepotism?
't thought of asking. The first few days were spent riding aimlessly around, unsure of whether the sick feeling was because of my lost love, or because the suspension is 'soft' like Virgin Radio presenters are 'not funny'.Thanks to the BM's (not 'Beemer

Review: Road bike suspension setup by K-Tech
By Ben Cope on 15/07/2011 15:17:03
Does setting up the stock suspension really make a difference?
I'm a typical biker; I've got a bike that's capable of going fast, probably faster than I can ride it but I want to make it faster still. That's just how it is.With a few clicks on the internet I'm presented with hundreds of different options that I

Niall raves about the Triumph Daytona 675

Living with a 2009 Triumph Bonneville
By Barry Tavner on 16/08/2009 15:56:09
A posing bike for the poser, Barry Tavner tries to capture the 'cool' on the Triumph Bonneville
on a trip to the seaside. Happily my new Triumph fly screen (£115) had arrived in the post a few weeks earlier, so this little adventure to Deal on the south coast presented not only the perfect opportunity to get some fishy fingers, but also test its

First Ride: Honda Crosstourer review
By mark forsyth on 17/02/2012 11:29:36
Built for comfort
The Japanese are big on manners. It’s in their genes. So during the Crosstourer presentation when Honda alluded to the fact that this was the bike their customers had been asking for, we knew what they meant, even if they didn’t say it.Today’s biker
