First Ride: 2002 Triumph Speed Four
By Bertie Simmonds on 29/03/2008 19:11:57
Picture the scene if you will. It's 2006, we're in the middle of a recession and another Government still ignores the benefits of motorcycles to the detriment of UK road users everywhere.
Meanwhile, insurance premiums have soared for sportsbikes and Cliff Richard hits number one with a cover of Smack My Bitch Up. Scary. But it could happen and at the morning roll call of motorcycling in this apocalyptic horror, naked middleweights

Niall's Spin: Triumph Daytona 675 review
By Niall Mackenzie on 17/09/2010 16:13:42
After a week in Malaysia on the Triumph Daytona 675 launch recently I was looking forward to the odd road test during the year
anticipation is going to be quenched sooner than I thought as I've just been told there's a long-term test bike with my name on it ready for collection. I'm so excited I can hardly sleep!Although the looks and dimensions of this baby Trumpet are not dissimilar

First Ride: Suzuki GSX-R750 K6 review
By James Whitham on 17/09/2010 12:04:12
Suzuki's legendary headbanging 750 gets a few tweaks for 2006. Is it still the thinking man's superbike?
been compressed somehow, but it really isn't so long ago since the best sports bikes were of 750cc capacity.From the launch of the first GSXR 750 in '85, to the launch of the first credible large capacity sports bike in Honda's Fireblade in '92, 750cc

First Ride: 2001 Yamaha BT1100 Bulldog review
By Alex Hearn on 27/03/2008 21:09:58
In some respects, Yamaha's new BT1100 Bulldog could be quite an important bike. Not, because of what it is (which we'll get to later) but for what it isn't.
to build one of their motorcycles (although Belgarda did create the TT-R600 dirtbike) and marks a possible sea-change in the Japanese attitude toward the European market. Either that or they ran out of manufacturing capacity in Japan...So it's Not Made

First Ride: Mondial Piega-Monza
By Daryll Young on 04/07/2003 10:16:12
Probably the most beautiful production bike in the world, can the Mondial Piega-Monza handle as good as it looks? Daryll sneaked through quarantine to test the bike at Monza
Road testing for TWO does have its perks from time to time and, for me, the launch of the new Mondial Piega has to rate as one of the top ones to date. Not only would I have a chance to ride the brand new and very limited edition Piega, the test

Aprilia RSV4 Factory vs. Cumbria
By Mark Forsyth on 04/11/2010 11:36:01
Highway to Heaven: Six bikes, six roads, six twats, six stories. Ben Bardon captures Mark Forsyth struggling to get to grips with roads he’s known for a lifetime (and more).
also need to treat it with the respect it deserves. I’ve lost lots of mates over the years to the A6 – cars and bikes. Like any road there’s a lot of kerbside furniture to punish mistakes but unlike most other roads, the speeds can be TT quick

By Niall Mackenzie on 07/10/2010 15:59:52
With an exciting family pedigree the 2000 Honda Fireblade had the unfortunate moniker of the 'sensible 'Blade'. Niall Mackenzie gives his feedback of the CBR900RR-Y
Click to read: Honda Fireblade CBR900RR owners reviews, Honda Fireblade CBR900RR specs and to see the Honda Fireblade CBR900RR image gallery.This version isn't as hairy as previous or later models - but it's still an exceedingly fast motorcycle

First Ride: 2002 Honda ST1300 Pan European
By Oli Tennent on 30/03/2008 00:01:16
TWO snapper Oli needed a rugged pack-horse to go to the South of France and back while chasing two hypersports bikes. He chose Honda's new-for-2002 Pan-European ST1300.
