	Devon Help Us - 2003 Tourer Test By Jon Urry on 05/11/2003 13:43:43 The sorry tale of taking three express tourers to the land of eternal rain and mist in an attempt to find a ray of sunshine the rider remained dry but, surprisingly on a bike that costs just over £10,000, the Pan comes without an adjustable screen as standard.Continue the Tourers testThe view from the rear seatIt's not much fun touring on your own so a decent pillion seat

	First Ride: Kawasaki Z750S By Jon Urry on 27/04/2008 22:45:57 Kawasaki sticks a fairing on the excellent Z750 in an effort to appeal to the more practically minded rider. Has it worked? for it.Kawasaki Z750S SpecsTYPE - STREETBIKE PRODUCTION DATE - 2005 PRICE NEW - £5545 ENGINE CAPACITY - 748cc POWER - 108bhp@11,500rpm TORQUE - 55lb.ft@8200rpm WEIGHT - 229kg SEAT HEIGHT - 805mm FUEL CAPACITY - 18L TOP SPEED - 145mph 0-60

	First Ride: 2010 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Special By Jon Urry on 03/08/2009 15:30:48 We ride the 2010 Fat Boy Special on the world launch, is it more than just a new paintjob? To be fair this is little more than a standard Fat Boy with a different paint scheme and lower suspension and seat, but who cares. The Fat Boy is, in my opinion anyway, the ultimate Harley. The Special gets a covering of satin chrome on its wheels

	Road Test: Ducati Multistrada 1000DS By Jon Urry on 27/04/2008 20:47:54 I have to say I'm a bit of a Multistrada fan. It's one of those strange bikes that, initially, I wanted to hate, but has since really grown on me. There was a big ceremony, lots of talk about a bike that can go on any roads - 'Multistrada' is Italian for 'many roads' - and then they pulled the covers off and revealed the bike...The reaction was one of hushed shock, because the Multistrada

	First Ride: 2004 BMW K1200S By Jon Urry on 30/03/2008 20:39:18 Heralded as the sportiest BMW motorbike ever, can the K 1200 S really rival the current hyper-sports bikes? Jon Urry travels to Munich to sample the delights of the German Autobahn and Austrian curves prudish, boring image in favour of a far racier persona. But where Britney is achieving this by shedding her innocent schoolgirl image in favour of a raunchier stage show, BMW is busy creating 167bhp hyper-sports bikes.Enter the K 1200 S, with pre

	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 they asked for, in both a naked and faired version. And surprise, surprise, sold it by the shed load.Last year the SV was Europe's best selling bike. Over 16,200 of the little beauties were sold during 2002, to go with the 17,800 sold the year before. Not bad

	Bare Naked Ladies: Tuono, Super Duke, Brutale & Speed Triple By Jon Urry on 12/10/2005 14:13:34 In search of naked satisfaction our lads strip down, strip off and head to the seediest street in Europe, Hamburg's Reeperbahn on the Aprilia Tuono Racing, KTM Super Duke, MV Brutale and Triumph Speed Triple into bite-sized sections, a blessing on an unfaired bike. "That seat is so hard on the Triumph," reckoned Alex, "I've done 500km off-road in a day on the Dakar, so my arse is virtually made of leather, but this hurts!"Continue the Naked Road Test - 2/3

	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? backlog? Well, the Street Triple’s success caught Triumph on the hop. Sure, they expected it to sell well, but it’s actually the fastest selling Hinckley Triumph ever. This year they sold 7,500 Street Triples globally, with 1,100 of those staying put
