By Roland Brown on 23/11/2010 15:39:10
International roadtester and motorcycling sage Roland Brown looks back at the years that changed motorcycling over the decades
about the chair, I attempted to pull up alongside a petrol pump and almost ripped it off the bike. Fighting to keep the ludicrous contraption pointing straight in a snowstorm on the M6 is another experience I’d rather forget, as is rounding a bend

The Professionals - Garry Mackay
By Visordown on 26/08/2008 11:51:23
Garry Mackay is head salesman at DK motorcycles, the largest dealer in the country. He could sell your grandma if needed...
with the odd issue. We try and do everything we can if they want to work it out. A lot of the people that come back in don’t want to hear anything, they just want to rant and moan. You get used to it and try to help everybody, we don’t exist to rip people off

Living with a 2007 Suzuki GSF1250S Bandit
By Simon Bowen on 16/06/2007 14:11:58
Simon calms down with the big Bandit
the modern looking motor and the sensible styling. I believe weirdos call this type of vehicle a 'sleeper'. It looks like it wouldn't say boo to a goose, but has enough grunt to rip the wedding tackle off a bull elephant. Now, that's useful power. Unless you

First Ride: 2002 Kawasaki ZX-6R 636
By Visordown on 12/07/2002 09:38:30
Make it bigger and better is the order of pedigree. In 2001 Kawasaki, despite the fact that their bike was probably the oldest on the grid, won the World Supersport Championship - as vindications go, it doesn't get much better than that really!
in the middle, but that wailing noise the 636 is pure magic, a 600 with some real character. Top-end power is not bad, but it did have some midrange off some of the slower corners that the others just did not have - they were just dead unless you kept them

Suzuki GSX-R1000 Versus Suzuki Motorboat
By Visordown on 01/12/2010 17:18:30
Two Suzukis race in a point-to-point dash across the Isle of Wight. One litre on land against four litres on the Solent, GSX-R 1000 versus hypercat motorboat. Ladies and gentlemen, place your bets
. The Suzuki outboard hanging off the rear is enormous and has the number ‘300’ written in very large letters. Knowing nothing of marine matters, I ask him if that is the current retail price of the engine. “No, it’s fifteen grand actually. 300

Triumph Daytona 675R review: UK roads
By Mark Forsyth on 12/11/2012 13:58:43
Open wide and say R! It's our first ride of Triumph's outgoing 675R
, gets pretty close to a religious experience. Power-off peel-in points to the millimetre. Apexes and exits on a taut throttle cable to the thou’. 250s are the surgical scalpel where a superbike is that stainless steel slide hammer they remove bone pins

How to race motocross
By John Cantlie on 19/02/2009 12:13:13
It’s the cheapest and most exciting form of two-wheeled motorsport with a growing ‘veterans’ crowd of over 35 year-olds racing. Fancy something new? Here’s how to get started.

By Visordown on 06/09/2010 14:42:38
Tattooed loon and legendary front man of The Prodigy talks RD400s, racing, his passion for bikes and bumping into the King of Spain…
an accident at Mallory where I ripped the front off the bike and collided with another rider. In racing terms it was nothing, I was ready to race again, but I had to do a gig with two swollen legs. I knew I didn’t have a career in racing but I did have one
