	First Ride: Ducati Hypermotard By Jon Urry on 02/04/2008 15:59:16 Ducati enters the supermoto scene with a bang. That'll be the mirror on a car's door then... me.Aggressive, minimalist, exciting and thrilling to ride is how Ducati is billing the Hypermotard.

I find nothing pleasant about riding an 883

	First Ride: 2004 Triumph Tiger By Jon Urry on 30/03/2008 19:28:44 Confusingly enough, this new Tiger is actually designated a 2005 model, even though it is already in the shops. Why? Supply and demand - the 2004 Tiger has sold out already!So what's new? at £6999, the new Tiger now comes with heated grips and colour coded panniers included.The Tiger doesn't feel a hell of a lot different to ride compared to the old model, which isn't that surprising, really. The riding position is unaltered and is a typical

	First Ride: 2005 Ducati 999 By Jon Urry on 30/03/2008 21:50:04 Ducati's flagship sportsbike gets a new look as well as a whole load more power for 2005. Jon Urry samples the delights of the new 999 Ducati's 999 hasn't exactly set the world on fire since its launch in late 2002.
