	First Ride: Ducati ST3 review By Jon Urry on 14/09/2010 17:05:37 Ducati's newest sports tourer breaks with convention and now comes with a three valve head instead of the usual four -down than a four valve but at the sacrifice of mid-range and top end power. The four valve can get ride of the burnt gases faster at high revs because there are two holes instead of one to get them out of the head and into the exhaust. Honda tried to get

	First Ride: 2003 Suzuki SV650S By Jon Urry on 13/09/2010 15:16:46 The new SV650S has a hell of a reputation to live up to as it steps into the shoes of its vastly popular predecessor bike has to handle so a sweet chassis is obviously at the top of the list. Then you'd like a motor with enough thrills to keep you amused while not being a pain to use and obviously you'd want brakes that work, decent suspension, a comfortable riding

	First Ride: 2006 Aprilia RSV-R By Jon Urry on 20/09/2010 22:46:53 A re-jig to pass tough emissions tests or significant go-faster modifications? Urry tests the new RSV-R and RSV-R Factory Click to read: Aprilia RSV-R owners reviews, Aprilia RSV-R specs and to see the Aprilia RSV-R image gallery."TOO MUCH PASSION brought Aprilia off track, but now we have Piaggio's backing we have been brought back on track again." For the usual marketing waffle in a press presenta...

	First Ride: 2007 Suzuki Bandit 650 By Jon Urry on 02/04/2008 14:49:15 Old faithful returns with a new jacket, starched braces and a spanking new motor I remember the first time I saw my dad wearing jeans. He just looked wrong. Dad's from a generation of slack-wearers, not denim, and him in Levi's finest looked as out of place as a Casio watch in a Ben-Hur film.But progress and the passing of time catch up with us all, and in 20...

	First Ride: 2006 Triumph Tiger 1050 By Jon Urry on 02/04/2008 18:53:05 Triumph's Tiger sheds the big trailie looks, sharpens its claws and goes for a more road-inspired image. Is this the right direction for Hinckley's big cat? The beautiful planet we all live on is falling apart. Seas are rising, icecaps are melting and pandas are having trouble getting it up. Global warming is to blame: we're burning too much fuel, creating too many pollutants and allowing cows to fart unhindered. All of which is caus...

	First Ride: 2007 Bimota DB6 Delirio By Jon Urry on 18/03/2008 20:46:37 Who the hell let Urry out on a bike that expensive? He'll bring down Lloyds of London if he falls off. Over £13,000 sits between Urry's clenched arse cheeksSOMEONE once described Bimotas to me as 'a collection of quality parts bolted together with cheese'. Which certainly used to be the case. Bimotas were revered not only for their sweet handling

	First Ride: 2007 Bimota DB6 Delirio By Jon Urry on 02/04/2008 15:36:24 Who the hell let Urry out on a bike that expensive? He'll bring down Lloyds of London if he falls off. , and it's like a race car's bucket seat. A snug fit and if you ain't the right size you simply won't fit. Provided you fit, the Bimota is a very enjoyable bike to ride. Yes, you feel a million dollars because you know it's worth upwards of £13,000 (which

	First Ride: 2004 Ducati 749R By Jon Urry on 30/03/2008 20:50:17 Following its launch at a soggy Valencia, we try Ducati's beautiful 749R in the dry at Donington. There are some lessons in life that you learn the hard way. Accidentally urinating on an electric fence is one of them, drinking too much cheap cider is another and trying to out-brake Niall Mackenzie is one that I learnt while riding Ducati's 749R

	First Ride: 2008 Triumph Speed Triple By Jon Urry on 10/04/2008 21:43:07 It’s Triumph best selling bike, a style icon, movie star and it’s still only 14 years old. Life is anything but dull with the Speed Triple as Jon Urry finds out on the roads of Lanzarote. I was a little surprised when Triumph invited us out to Lanzarote to ride its 2008 Speed Triple. As far as I could tell the bike had only gained a set of flash new wheels and a slightly different rear end in its first update since it went all stubby

	First Ride: 2008 Triumph Street Triple R By Jon Urry on 10/11/2008 11:15:24 The Street Triple is already Triumph's best selling bike ever, but will this hotted-up version cause more sales to flood in? Since its launch in 2007 Triumph’s Street Triple has exceeded all expectations and proved itself a phenomenal success. Anyone who has tried to place an order for this little streetbike will be familiar with the term ‘waiting list.’ As it currently stands if you try and order one ...
