BMW S1000RR to Morocco - Kit Review
By Ben Cope on 19/02/2010 10:20:28
A review of the kit I wore for my 3200 mile trip to Morocco and back in a a week. From snowy London to the baking hot Moroccan border
BMW S1000RR to MoroccoWhen choosing my gear for the BMW S1000RR trip to Morocco, I had quite a lot to consider. It was snowing in the UK, hammering it down with rain across France and Spain and blisteringly hot in Morocco. And with 500 miles a day to cover - at speed on a superbi...

Ridden: Triumph Thruxton review
By mark forsyth on 04/07/2012 14:54:04
Forward to the past
I have to admit, I struggled to like the Thruxton for the first couple of days we were together.The environment didn’t help, though. I had two long motorway trips to do and, as is usual in my World, I was short of time and therefore in a hurry.The fairing-less Thruxton is not at ...

Bridgestone launches its new Racing Street tyres - road-legal rubber aimed predominantly at track day riders in search of serious grip
They say: "Combines race-winning performance with rider friendly characteristics" BridgestoneWe say: "The last race I won was with an egg and spoon" Jon UrryChoosing a tyre is all about being honest. There isn't any point in riding around on track-orientated tyres if all you do i...

Michelin Anakee 3 review
By Ben Cope on 07/04/2013 16:38:11
We test out the successor tyres to the Anakee II and ask: if we pretend to go off-road, don't we end up riding on pretend off-road tyres?
experience that bit more pleasurable. There you go, perhaps you can measure the pleasure.I rode the Anakee III on both the 2013 BMW R1200GS and the Tiger Explorer XC. Both bikes feature traction control and a good handful of throttle was needed to make

By Simon Bowen on 14/10/2006 12:50:27
Pilot Power, that is. New dual compound sport rubber released
A YEAR AFTER launching the twin-compound, super sticky Power Race, Michelin has ventured forth with the more road-focused sport equivalent, using the same technology. The Pilot Power 2CT (two compound technology) deploys a softer compound on the outer edges for optimum grip at ex...

Jimmy Fireblade's Wheelie school review
By Colin Goodwin on 21/10/2010 16:26:03
It’s a one way ticket to motorcycle Nirvana and the respect and adoration of all your mates. We all want to do it, but only the chosen few can. Time to go back to school...
Most of my life has been lived under a cloud of shame because I am unable to ride a motorcycle on only its back wheel. Old motorcyclists who moan about lads showing off and bringing motorcycling into disrepute by doing wheelies are just jealous because they can’t do them. I have ...

2008 Michelin tyre launch review
By Johnny Cantlie on 01/07/2008 14:17:29
The filter-down from MotoGP racing slicks to everyday road tyres has never been more apparent than with the latest rubbery offerings from Michelin
Michelin slicks and me don’t mix. There’s a long history which I won’t go into but it involves a series of enormous crashes at well over 120mph on various bikes at various circuits. Over a period of 5 years between 1995 and 2000, it became fairly obvious that either Michelin slic...

Pirelli Angel GT tyre review
By Ben Cope on 18/04/2013 20:47:00
We test Pirelli's new touring tyre on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier and at the Nardo test track. Can a pure touring tyre really deal with an R1 on track?
THAT'S me on the flight deck of Italian aircraft carrier, Cavour 550, on a Kawasaki Z1000SX on Pirelli's new Angel GT tyres: the start of a very unusual launch for what I thought would be a fairly normal tyre.The Angel GT is, afterall, just a touring tyre. It is, according to Pir...
