First Ride: KTM 990SMT ABS
By Jon Urry on 27/01/2011 16:56:44
KTM add ABS to their all-rounder, so, the big question: is it any good?
We are back at the hotel now and I’ve just about dried off. Today the rain in Spain fell mainly on the launch of the 990SMT, which I suppose is a good thing at let’s be honest, testing ABS in the dry is a bit of a waste of time.So what’s all the fuss about? Well KTM isn’t a compa...

Living with a 2003 Triumph Daytona 600
By Jon Urry on 12/10/2003 14:18:31
We like Jon Urry, despite the fact he owns a 2CV. He is a very nice man and he reviews his Daytona 600 here using words and images
August 2003YOU HAVE TO feel a bit sorry for the poor Daytona. Despite it currently showing 3500 miles on it's clock, it hasn't actually been ridden on the road yet! You see my lovely new Daytona 600 is one of the bikes that was used during the world launch of the Triumph at circu...

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
as what feels like a low seat height. It isn't actually that low (830mm), but the Strada is narrow which gives an impression of lowness as your legs are closer together. Also the 620 weighs a fairly featherweight 208kg full of fuel, which new riders

First Ride: Ducati Sport 1000S
By Jon Urry on 02/04/2008 12:18:52
Achingly beautiful, plain aching to ride. Another classic stunner from Italy.

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
