By Simon Bowen on 19/04/2010 16:24:51

By James Whitham, Niall Mackenzie & Jon Urry on 13/04/2010 16:51:46
Whitham, Mackenzie and Urry spill the beans on owning the bike of your dreams, sometimes it’s Heaven and sometimes it’s Hell. RC30, RD350LC and 916SP revisited.
fire well into the middle of the week after. ‘Why do you want a 1993 RGV250? The SP was better.’ Or ‘urban Tiger Blade? What about the 1992?’Because inside each one of us is a little bit of the anorak that needs satisfying. We all have personal taste

By Jon Urry on 29/07/2010 14:49:50
In the early 1990s, 400cc race reps were all the rage. But that was nearly two decades ago. Are these pocket rockets still a viable buy in the secondhand market or simply relics from the past?
the Suzuki RGV250 or Kawasaki’s KR-1S.Then something wonderful happened, dealers started importing containers crammed with four-stroke 400cc bikes from Japan. And not just any old 400cc bikes: exotic replicas of bigger 750cc brothers, visually identical

Motorcycle Radar: 1991
By Roland Brown on 25/11/2010 14:48:24
Hang on, new Triumphs, forkless Bimotas? It had to be the 90s
the parallel twin was disappointingly dull to ride; so much so that I can barely recall my trip to Scotland. By contrast Suzuki’s RGV250SP was as crazily entertaining as a 61bhp, 139kg, two-stroke V-twin race-rep should be. And Ducati’s reworked 900SS was a
