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

Road Test: BMW K1200R
By Warren Pole on 27/04/2008 21:48:52
It's big, it's weird looking and it doesn't have any clothes on. Oh yes, and it's very, very fast. Are BMW about to take the naked bruiser class by storm?
to the back wheel? Not a hope. I resort to pointing at the back wheel and mumbling loudly instead.Fortunately I'm saved embarrassment by the arrival of the nice lady from BMW who's come to buy my freedom from the roadside I've been detained at for the last

Aprilia RSV4 Factory vs. The Diamondback
By Larry Cornwell on 16/09/2010 12:17:39
Our American correspondent Larry Cornwell pitches the RSV4 Factory against The Diamondback. Fear and fun guaranteed
, than an access road. After grabbing a bit too much of the Aprilia’s front brakes, the front started to push, and I thought about the possibility of a roadside memorial and a chorus of violins, 'Here lays the body of another automotive journalist who ran

Colditz
By Jon Urry on 01/11/2005 16:41:47
It's every officer's duty to escape. So our four battle-weary soldiers slipped the confines of Blighty for the freedom of Germany's autobahns to stretch the legs of four very fast bikes
of Schloss Colditz. Located in, unsurprisingly, Colditz village, our route to the castle from Chemnitx was a lovely twisty road through rural Germany that went on for about 30 miles. Ample opportunity to test the handling of the bikes, but not before we very

Living with a 2004 Honda CB1300
By Bertie Simmonds on 12/09/2004 15:56:49
Finally a bike that doesn't look like a Bertie's riding a mini moto. Yes it's the mighty CB1300 review
back towards Calais and the boat, taking in more twisty Belgian and French roads.Halfway to the ferry, Rob's beautiful Duke breaks down. Bugger. It's an electrical problem (no surprises there) but it's not fixable at the roadside. Ron turns up

Road Test: Trailies
By Various on 07/05/2008 21:57:07
One night on earth...after 1500 miles on the open road. "James, the wine please... and what's with the stupid hat?"
