Splitting Heirs: Honda Pan European ST1100 & ST1300
By Alex Hearn on 12/10/2010 13:31:27
Beloved of the happily middle-aged (and the police), unobtrusive, but more than capable of letting fly on a twisty road, Honda's ST1100 was a marvelous thing. Can the same be said of the ST1300?

By Oli Tennent on 30/03/2008 00:01:16
TWO snapper Oli needed a rugged pack-horse to go to the South of France and back while chasing two hypersports bikes. He chose Honda's new-for-2002 Pan-European ST1300.
the hugely adjustable electric screen makes for staccato, annoying progress.Other riders' shortcomings aside, the big Pan has always been a terrifically good compromise, if such a thing is possible, between pace, handling and load lugging with added range

By Tim Dickson on 27/04/2008 20:26:21
There's a stretch of autoroute south of Clermont Ferrand that is the perfect tonic to the preceding several hundred miles of motorway monotony - if riding four of the world's finest litre bikes can ever be considered monotonous.
and keeping toll tickets in, but it depends on the bike and rider. Admittedly both the ZX-10R and R1 were literally pains in the neck with tankbags because their screens are so low."I nearly chucked the thing in a field," said Colin, after an hour-long 120mph

Tired of Japanese conformity? Add a dash of sophistication to the cold winter's mire with these air-cooled alternatives.

Road Test: Kawasaki ZZ-R600
By Bertie Simmonds on 28/05/2008 22:54:45
Like Barbara Windsor, it hasn't been considered sexy for years. So what's kept the ZZ-R600 on Kawasaki's books all this time? It's the fastest, squashiest, flying sofa has ever seen, that's why...

When it comes to winning, you don't want to be winning the crashing race

Living with a 2002 Honda Silverwing
By Daryll Young on 12/07/2002 12:32:18
Daryll discovers that he didn't quite get the short straw with the Silverwing
from the pressure - and when you're Bert's size that's a lot of pressure!Life on board the Wing was bliss. But I had found that even for a Dwaff like me the standard screen was a tad low. Cruising around 100mph I had to dip behind it slightly to avoid
