By Bertie Simmonds on 10/11/2003 13:54:39
It's big, it's old and a bit of a relic. But enough about Bertie, see how he got on with the monster GSX-R1000
the race team and Crescent's Suzuki performance centre. And let me tell you, this is a biking nirvana set on 15,000 square feet of flooring. As well as the whole range of Suzuki machines (including various Crescent racing replicas and low seat height

Road Test: F650 v TE610 v DR-Z400S v XT660R
By Warren Pole on 14/10/2010 22:56:36
Can the latest crop of dual-purpose on/off-roaders really hack it in the rough stuff? Team Visordown dons its goggles and has a trail of a time finding out. Let's soft road!
on the Dakar I had time to appreciate its super-soft seat - which "feels like it's got a puncture," according to Tim - heated grips and soft, friendly motor with its reassuring thrum. As with almost any BMW this is a bike that makes you feel like you could head

Ducati's baby Streetfighter. Smiles like your Nan, punches like a pub doorman

Second chance: Ducati Multistrada 620
By Jon Urry on 07/01/2011 15:29:06
Ill conceived Italian mismatch or a bloody good secondhand buy - Jon Urry gets intimate with the Multistrada
