By Niall Mackenzie and Jon Urry on 19/05/2009 15:30:27
Honda’s NR750 and Ducati’s Desmosedici are two of the most stunning bikes ever built. Each are worth £40,000 and both were developed from pure GP technology. There may be an incredible 16 years between them, but exclusivity this rare is timeless

Road Test: Ducati 999s vs. 1098s
By Niall Mackenzie, Jon Urry on 26/05/2008 15:34:01
The 999 didn't win so many hearts, but it won a lot of races. The 1098 has us weak at the knees but can it perform? Dukes go head-to-head in Spain.
you're changing up just after 10,000rpm.On the 999 this whole process is much less physical as everything happens at a slower pace, especially on corner exits. As always this affects top speed, which was confirmed as the best speed I saw on the 1098

Second Hand Dream Bikes - Yamaha RD350LC, Honda RC30, Ducati 916SP used test

Whitham, Mackenzie and Urry spill the beans on owning the bike of your dreams, sometimes it’s Heaven and sometimes it’s Hell. RC30, RD350LC and 916SP revisited.
fire well into the middle of the week after. ‘Why do you want a 1993 RGV250? The SP was better.’ Or ‘urban Tiger Blade? What about the 1992?’Because inside each one of us is a little bit of the anorak that needs satisfying. We all have personal taste
