First Ride: Aprilia Shiver SL750
By Kevin Ash on 17/08/2008 21:25:09
At last Aprilia have arrived with a middleweight. Laden with high-tech features and cutting edge styling. Only it's 750cc. And £5600. You have to ask, is this cheating?
The bike we rode for this test was a prototype but seeing as the Shiver's due in UK showrooms by the end of June, if there's anything seriously wrong, there's not a lot they can do about it now. This theory is substantiated after a chat

First Person: Michael Collins the 140mph biker
By John Hogan on 20/11/2008 10:22:22
First published in TWO, Michael was followed by an unmarked police biker as he rode at speeds of well over 100mph.
in terms of the theory of dangerous driving, one of the policemen told me that while I was bolt upright, because I was under acceleration that I could fall of at any second. They don’t really understand any other style of riding other than their own. I

Second Chance - Honda CBR600 2001-2006
By Jon Urry on 28/03/2008 15:44:45
