The elder gentleman of GP racing on the latest invasion of the GP grids by talented American motorcycle racers
.The return comes in the nick of time for the statistics. At the end of last season, the US still led the number of top-class wins, with 150, achieved in an amazingly short time span between 1976 and 2000, by just nine riders. But Italy is just one race behind

of 320kg, most of today's modern sports bikes will be green with envy at these power statistics. You'd think that a motorcycle displaying these dimensions would want to stick to long straight roads.Well, the Rocket doesn't. Like a playful dog running

By Jon Urry on 12/05/2008 22:27:11
Less self-consciously 'funky' thank its unfaired sibling - but has Kawasaki's new twin got what it takes to beat Suzuki's SV650S?

2010 BMW S1000RR Mallory Park track test
By Mark Forsyth on 24/06/2010 15:50:52
Technically superior to the opposition, kind and considerate to all grades of rider and ridiculously fast. A bike so well-behaved it makes ultra-scary speeds things of joy
as an in-built engine protector. Nifty, huh?Figure in these vital statistics with a TC system that’s more sophisticated than many on the BSB grid and it makes the soft-saddled BMW a doddle to ride quickly. The Ducati in particular will make a shoddy rider
