Honda CBR250R top speed run
By Ben Cope on 24/04/2011 20:12:38
Onboard Honda's baby sportsbike chasing velocity max...
for a couple of hours, with laughter flowing from everyone's lid as we all took turns to back in to roundabouts, burnout through town and wheelie from the lights..This video shows me chasing Trevor Franklin of MCN fame on a top speed run. Just look

RC45 envy. Pure and simple.

A couple of modern tweaks to this Honda classic
I spotted this RC45 in the garages at the Spa Bikers' Days Classic. I couldn't find the owner so I'm afraid I don't know anything about it, other than what you can see here.It's been nudged into this century with Ohlins superbike forks and Brembo monobloc brakes and an Ohlins rea...

Jet bike mentalist

Ear defenders a must have
Robert Maddox featured here a while back with his Pulse Jet-powered bicycle. Seems he's gone a step further this time and built a Pulse Jet bike with 250lb of thrust, no rear suspension, no front brake and a claimed 200mph top speed. We approve.

Aprilia did electric. 10 years ago...
By Ben Cope on 26/06/2010 09:51:51

The fastest scooter in London?
By Ben Cope on 24/08/2010 07:56:21
If you've seen a faster one, I want to know about it
It's running Bridgestone super-sticky tyres, it's got a blanket to keep your legs warm and streamlined muffs to aid top speed runs. It's probably running HRC kit parts. Can you handle the power? Have you spotted a scooter that could keep up

The Kenny Roberts electric (push) bike
By Ben Cope on 04/10/2011 08:11:56
Picycle gets KR branding, but why?
Rohloff Speed Hub, Carbon Drive Belt, Programmable Speed Control, improved efficiency regenerative braking system, 25% more low end torque and an impressive 45mph top speed.For that kind of money, we'd want a saddle that doesn't look like it was stolen
