By Rob Hoyles on 23/06/2009 11:12:08
Hoyles finds his youth again with Suzuki's mental GSX-R1000
to organise for our trip to Assen and the rest of the month spent fetching bikes in the van, the GSX-R has been sat in the garage while I’ve been tearing the arse out of a bunch of 600s all over northern Europe. The 200 miles I have managed this month have

Top 50 countdown of motorcycling adventures that you simply have to do before you die...
is worth a gander. In fairness the toffs (with so much time on their hands) do organise a cracking trip across several US States, allowing plenty of time for stop-offs and all the time riding at terminal velocity.37. Drown at the Weston Beach Race

2013 Suzuki Burgman 650 Executive ABS review
By Ben Cope on 28/04/2013 10:04:37
The Burgman 650 gets an overhaul after 10 years flying Suzuki's maxi-scooter flag. Are the updates enough to satisfy the Burgman-massive?
.I welcome big-distance trips on maxi-scooters like the burgman 650 because they're genuinely effortless and banging out big miles on a motorbike always feels like a waste of a gearbox and perfectly good tyres. On a maxi-scooter, you can relax

Road Test: SXV5.5 v. ZZR1400 v. GSX-R750 v. Rocket
By Niall Mackenzie, Tim Dickson, John Hogan, Jon Urry on 20/05/2008 10:30:19
Motorcycling with the mostest and living with extremes: Kawasaki ZZR1400, Triumph Rocket III, Suzuki GSX-R750 and an Aprilia SXV5.5. Can too much ever be enough?

Kings of the Hill
By Warren Pole on 18/03/2008 22:58:28
Ducati's Hypermotard goes toe-to-toe with KTM and Buell through the vicious twists and turns of a Championship hill-climb event in Wiltshire
. It looked good although the end result was a sluggish 50 seconds as it turned out the idiot had tripped the timing beam on the start line as he sat there without realising, merrily racking up a good ten seconds before he set off. How we laughed. Taking

Three And A Half Grand Secondhand Steel
By Jon Urry on 14/10/2007 15:22:12
With the unlikely premise of £3500 fast burning holes in their pockets, four TWO teamsters are buying second-hand steel. It's head v hearts all the way
through city traffic, allow me to go on occasional 200-odd mile trips in comfort and, should the (unlikely) situation arise, take a girl on the back. Although with my luck, this isn't a huge consideration.What did I plump for? Reliable, solid build quality
