	First Ride: 2006 Yamaha YZF-R6 review By Jon Urry on 20/09/2010 22:11:15 The R6 is reborn with a competition-bred 'no compromise' attitude. But is all this race-ready technology a step too far for the road? ride, rev the hell out of the R6 and that motor is strong. I'm not convinced about the 127bhp claim - at the spark plug, maybe, but I reckon that when we get it on the dyno it's likely to show up around the 108bhp mark. That's more than the current crop

	First Ride: 2008 KTM 990R Super Duke By Jon Urry on 27/05/2008 23:08:28 Urry's been to Hungary to track test KTM's super spec Super Duke. The new 990R Super Duke has been 'built for the love of it' say KTM. Which suggests there wasn't any need for this uprated Super Duke but we're glad it's here, because it's even better than the stocker.To be completely honest (it's the only way Jon

	First Ride: 2005 Suzuki Bandit 650-650S By Jon Urry on 31/03/2008 22:37:42 Suzuki's trusty Bandit has swollen in capacity for 2005, but is this enough to put the planet's longest-serving middleweight back in the frame? that usually accompanies injectors. Hang on a second, there's a reason for this. The Bandit has carbs. I tell you, these carb things could really catch on because they are brilliant. It's a refreshing change to ride a bike once again with them fitted

	First Ride: BMW R1100S Boxer Cup Replica By Jon Urry on 14/09/2010 12:16:08 Only BMW would make a race replica that comes with heated grips and a shaft-drive as standard. Jon Urry took the Randy Mamola BoxerCup replica BMW around Donington Park for an all-over workout Click to read: BMW R1100S Boxer Cup owners reviews, BMW R1100S Boxer Cup specs and to see the BMW R1100S Boxer Cup image gallery.I remember watching a round of the BMW BoxerCup on TV a few years ago when it was a support race for the GP.

	First Ride: 2007 Suzuki GSX-R1300 Hayabusa By Jon Urry on 29/03/2008 10:23:35 With a tyre-shredding 194bhp on tap and a fully revised chassis the original Hypersports bike is refusing to grow old gracefully. Hold on tight, because the 'Busa is back and is meaner than ever... but the new model manages to improve in all aspects. The engine is stunning, handling very good and annoying quirks such as the low screen ironed out. The only question mark for me hangs over the brakes, but I'm fairly confident that for road riding

	Sharpen your mind: Be faster on track By Jon Urry on 21/09/2010 16:36:53 Are you getting the most out of your track day, riding as fast as you can and pushing you own limits? Or have you slipped into the comfort zone? Recently I've noticed something about my riding on trackdays. I'll hit a certain pace but rather than trying to go any faster and risk a crash I'll simply circulate at a pace that is well within my boundaries. I've slipped into the Comfort Zone

	One Fine Day on Britain's Best Biking Road By Jon Urry on 25/05/2010 14:06:01 To discover the best 10-mile stretch of road anywhere in the UK you have to go to Loch Leven in Scotland. But it's worth the ride for the sheer joy of riding this road, and now it's our turn to join him. With an unusually dry patch of weather for both the UK and in particularly Scotland we gathered the three bikes best suited to this snaking nirvana.Which was the key, because although

	Splitting heirs - Kawasaki ZX-10R V ZX-10R By Jon Urry on 20/03/2008 15:36:50 It was the maddest 1,000cc superbike in the world, then they tamed it. TWO rides both incarnations of the Kawasaki ZX-10R back to back... In the late 1990s and early 2000s Kawasaki had problems. Bike sales weren't brilliant and there was a feeling that the company had lost its direction. New models were short on the ground and, dare we say it, Big Green had become stagnant. A breath of fresh air was needed, and it ...

	Courier Advice: City bike test By Jon Urry on 22/02/2008 12:54:01 Despatch riding: the ultimate test of man and machinery. Armed with four city bikes, can the staff survive London's urban jungle and earn an honest wage? . And they hate other riders who are slower than them. Riders like me.
