First Ride: Triumph Bonneville America
By Jon Urry on 02/04/2008 14:07:19
Britain takes on America in the budget cruiser battle
and would only recommend one to a dedicated Harley dreamer. The America, however, is different.For a start the Triumph feels substantial, not spindly like the Harley, and sitting on the sculpted rider's seat you feel like you're on a 'proper' cruiser, not a

First Ride: 2007 Buell Super TT
By Jon Urry on 02/04/2008 14:14:00
A supermoto, sort of, from the land that invented the genre.
.The STT is actually a very nice bike to ride. Like other Buells it feels tiny and the riding position has the feel of being perched above the bike, but this suits the supermoto style. The seat, combined with the low pegs, make it easily comfortable enough

Used Review: Ducati Monster S4 & S4R
By Bertie Simmonds on 08/04/2008 21:11:47
