Triumph Scrambler, Royal Enfield 500-T, Kawasaki 250TR and Suzuki Van Van take to the beach for this retro review

Second Hand Dream Bikes - Yamaha RD350LC, Honda RC30, Ducati 916SP used test
By James Whitham, Niall Mackenzie & Jon Urry on 13/04/2010 16:51:46
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.
If ever a conversation is likely to spiral into a full-on argument between a bunch of riders it is the old question: ‘what’s in your dream garage?’ It’s the perfect wet Sunday-in-a-pub-topic-of-debate that will rage on like an out-of-control forest

First Ride: 2006 CCM FT35s
By James Whitham on 22/09/2010 12:10:00
Back from the brink, CCM return to the fray with a Suzuki motor wrapped up in one hell of a limited-edition piece of leftfield lunacy.
from the flat track machines that race the half-mile and mile-long dirt ovals in the USA. Anyone who's seen the film On Any Sunday will know what flat-tracking's about. If you haven't, shame on you. Until then look at flat-track as big lads' speedway

Road Test: Tuono R vs. TDM vs. Varadero
By Colin Goodwin on 12/05/2008 21:41:46
Who are everywhere right now. Nope, these Arctic Monkeys are our brave idiots who rode three unsuitable motorcycles to Switzerland. To do the Cresta Run. Eh?
dose of dandruff or a draught in Kate Moss's living room can muster.Continue reading Road Test: Tuono R vs. TDM vs. Varadero 2/3

Road Test: CB600F v Z750 v GSR600 v FZ6
By Jon Urry on 27/01/2008 15:39:36
Naked bikes and rude place names. Is there no level to which the TWO test team won't stoop to for a cheap laugh? Apparently not.
into the centre of town where a small, but very rude, collection of streets awaited. Congested traffic should split the city dwellers from the city hellers.Continue reading Road Test: CB600F v Z750 v GSR600 v FZ6 2/4SPECS - HONDA CB600F HORNETTYPE

First Ride: Ducati Hypermotard
By Jon Urry on 02/04/2008 15:59:16
Ducati enters the supermoto scene with a bang. That'll be the mirror on a car's door then...
such matters? This is a niche bike aimed at people who want to go screaming bonkers on a Sunday afternooon. And despite the Sardinian roads being a bit damp the bike was a riot.As you would expect from such a stripped down machine the Hypermotard is very light

First Ride: 2006 Honda Fireblade
By Niall Mackenzie on 20/09/2010 22:47:05
It wasn't broken but Honda fixed it anyway. Niall plays 'spot the difference' with a freshly honed 2006 Fireblade
Yamaha launched its original R1 in 1997 we congratulated it on giving us the most exciting road bike ever. Over the next four years it gradually sedated this fine tool before finally re-fitting excitement and character for '04. Since '02 Suzuki has been

Niall's Spin: Yamaha MT-01 review
By Niall Mackenzie on 21/09/2010 12:25:10
It promised so much that it was bound to fall short, but now the hype has died down, what's it really like to ride?
Sunday posing tool, so mileages are low and levels of TLC are pretty high. The MT-01 was way overpriced when new - £9289 list - so not that many are around, but those that are should be well looked after. Yamaha wanted owners to 'buy into the brand

1098R and the Fastest Island in the World
By Jon Urry on 29/04/2010 16:03:13
Ducati’s glorious 1098R thrashed around the the Isle of Man just days before thousands of bikers got there for the 2008 TT. If there’s a two-wheeled heaven, this may just be it
of beer, large ladies exposing their breasts to the baying crowds and bikes being ridden at a terrifying pace on the public roads.I remember a few of the grimmer parts, the local news reporting two racers being killed in morning practice, seeing crashed
