First ride: Honda NSS300 Forza review
By Sachin Rao on 08/05/2013 16:09:00
Honey, I've blown up the kid!
more power and speed, and more generous storage and generous seating. It plugs a gap in Honda's line-up: that of a stylish mid-sized scooter, slotting in neatly between the rather dumpy-looking SH300i and the bigger, slicker Silver Wing 400 and 600

First Ride: 2011 Honda CBR250R
By Ben Cope on 23/04/2011 07:37:37
Honda enters the 250 arena with the CBR250R. Should the Ninja 250R be scared?
single has been squeezed up the rev-range in the hunt for more power.I can understand why this new model is called a CBR250R: in the Far-Eastern markets, where 125cc bikes are normal and 150cc bikes are growing in popularity, the CBR250R sits at he top

By Mark Shippey on 15/10/2005 11:24:04
Mark Shippey reviews Victory's Kingpin cruiser over the course of a year
drives me mad above all, it's traffic lights. They are the bane of my life. How many sets of lights do I go through in 16 miles? Fifty-flippin'-two. My average speed must be about 5mph!With all that stopping, braking became an issue. Riding from Gatwick

Used Test: Suzuki GSX1400
By Bertie Simmonds on 13/09/2010 14:19:12
It looked like a pit-bull, even if it was more of a lap-dog to ride. Blessed with good looks and mucho torque, Suzuki's GSX1400 has proved to be a popular retro bruiser bike in used circles

Lost in translation
By Visordown on 22/04/2013 19:12:55
How the ‘want one’ B-King concept spawned the ugly Inazuma
IT can’t be easy to style a motorcycle. Unlike cars, wreathed in body panels and free to come in all shapes and sizes, the shape of a bike is largely defined by technical demands.Whether it’s the size of the wheels, the angle of the forks, the position of the engine or the slant ...

Living with a 2003 Suzuki GSX-R1000
By Bertie Simmonds on 10/11/2003 13:54:39
It's big, it's old and a bit of a relic. But enough about Bertie, see how he got on with the monster GSX-R1000
. The Bridgestone 012s have the unenviable job of taming the 145bhp that goes through that rear tyre, but they do a top job.The high silica compound meant that as long as I exercised puritanical control over my right wrist, the tyres would look after me and not tip

First Ride: 2013 Yamaha TMAX Black Max 530 review
By Ben Cope on 11/04/2013 17:13:00
