Five £3000 late '90s icons
By Ben Cope on 31/01/2012 16:31:35
Want to treat yourself to a slice of 90s cool?
What were the cult bikes of the late 1990s? That's the question that circulated the office today and after much heated debate (and one tantrum), we whittled the list down to these five. Without the £3000 limit, our list would have remained a fantasy for many, but the £3000 cap me...

The ultimate budget gloves test

Beaujolais or bust
By Warren Pole on 28/01/2008 11:07:59
Four men, four bikes, one quest - to bring home the first bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau 2004 to British shores. The question isn't 'Why?', it's 'Why not?' Allez!

By Jon Urry on 22/02/2008 12:54:01
Despatch riding: the ultimate test of man and machinery. Armed with four city bikes, can the staff survive London's urban jungle and earn an honest wage?
Being a motorcycle courier is probably one of the hardest and most dangerous jobs in the world, ever. Some may claim that deep-sea fishing for killer crabs in the Arctic Ocean is tough, but I can't see many fishermen surviving the attack of the black cab, the pain of frozen finge...

Highland Fling
By Jon Urry on 12/10/2007 12:23:42
Niall, James, Daryll and Jon venture north to celebrate Burns' night, eat Haggis and drink whisky. "They fought like Scotsmen. And won their freedom"
The faint, but distinctive waft of rebellion is in the air. It's 8am, Niall, Daryll and myself are at James Whitham's house and outside looks cold. Very cold. The thought of the 250-mile ride from Huddersfield to Edinburgh on naked bikes is becoming less and less appealing.Daryll...

, heavy and slow Hondamatics hardly took the UK or the World by storm,Offered in a choice of Royal Blue, Orange or Wine (or should that be whine?) they ended up being almost given away by dealers desperate to get rid of them. In a four year period Honda UK
