First Ride: KTM 1190 Adventure review
By Ben Cope on 07/02/2013 00:25:13
Two-thirds of KTM's 260 technicians had a hand in the 1190 Adventure project. It's a big deal for KTM but will it be a bigger deal for the opposition?
IT'S not often you see the word ‘mayhem’ in a manufacturer’s press kit, let alone in the introduction to an adventure bike but this is KTM and those orange fellas like to do things differently.Using the same 1195cc engine that powers the RC8R superbike, mayhem definitely sounds l...

First Ride: 2013 Triumph Daytona 675R review
By Ben Cope on 16/12/2012 19:25:19
Forget 250s. This is the best handling bike you can buy.

2013 Kawasaki Z800 review
By Ben Cope on 06/12/2012 11:54:04

1998 Bimota 500 Vdue
By Ben Cope on 04/01/2013 10:07:03
Another memorable motorcycle from the Italian masters of cool
How could you not love Bimota's 500 Vdue. Launched in 1998 at a cost of £14,500 it didn't so much come with a list of optional extras, more a lottery list of factory-spec problems, longer than the accessories list on a 1200GS.To me, it sums up
