2009 BMW F800R first ride review
By Ben Cope on 09/04/2010 12:39:55
BMW continue their rapid expansion with the F800R. With a specification to rival Triumph’s mighty Street Triple, the twin-cylinder BM looks set to lead from the front
195 miles to a tank, which is on a par with an R1200GS, and I don’t doubt this. On my ride, after 80 miles the fuel gauge wasn’t even at half empty.The gearing is spot on for this kind of bike and the style of riding it’s designed for. First gear revs

First Ride: 2009 Honda Fireblade CBR1000RR C-ABS
By German Ooms on 18/10/2010 13:34:05
In the day and age when Valentino Rossi openly disapproves of all electronic aids in MotoGP, Honda launches a totally new ABS-system, developed specifically for sportsbikes...
shivers down my spine. After spending most of the morning riding the CBR600RR, Honda’s entourage gently pushes me towards the Fireblade. To feel the contrast between the two models, I first ride the Fireblade without the C-ABS activated and only have

First Ride: Victory Jackpot review
By Mark Shippey on 20/09/2010 12:20:36
The Jackpot is Victory's latest gambit - a bold move into premium custom territory. So is it likely to fold, or will it be straight flush with success?
. The Jackpot is aimed at taking sales away from competitors such as Big Dog, most of whose rides will set you back in the region of $30,000. Victory hopes that the more competitively priced Jackpot will grab a portion of that market.Push any motorcyclist hard

By Mark Shippey on 30/03/2008 19:46:51
The most gorgeous motorcycle ever? Harley-Davidson's Porsche powered flagship V-Rod receives sharp new clothes for 2004
: one wet ride and they will turn overnight.The pegs are kicked out and the bars set for that easy rider look. That's okay if you're over six foot, but shorter legged riders may suffer a little, although this can be rectified with the 'reduced reach

By Mark Forsyth on 17/12/2010 11:00:17
Can Suzuki revitalize the competitive supersport category with the all-new GSX-R600? Mark Forsyth does some laps of Almeria to find out
Well, the fug of excitement has now lifted. The sweaty leathers are packed away in the kit bag and I’m just about to have a shower and grab some grub. I’ve done five, twenty minute sessions on the 2011 GSX-R600 and this is my verdict.600s aren’t for everyone, that’s for sure. The...

Living with excess: 2006 Suzuki GSX-R750
By John Hogan on 28/03/2010 10:03:49
Special excess: the UK's best-seller
.But ride the 750 and you can't help but notice how many other GSX-Rs you're sharing the road with. You definitely don't feel like an individual. Go to Box Hill, or Matlock Bath, or Brands Hatch and you'll blend in, not stand out. It's the best selling bike

Living with excess: 2006 Kawasaki ZZR1400
By Tim Dickson on 28/03/2010 10:11:42
Special excess: a claimed 197bhp
. The tank holds 22 litres, and a 160-mile range, plus reserve, is the norm. Including top speed testing, London riding and motorway commuting the ZZR averaged 36mpg. Over 50mpg is easily achieved. Remarkable.But that 1352cc inline four belches out heat
