Whitham takes us by the hand and leads us through the streets of Huddersfield. Four battered middleweights, a bag of chips and a Fanta, please.

Second Hand Dream Bikes - Yamaha RD350LC, Honda RC30, Ducati 916SP used test
By James Whitham, Niall Mackenzie & Jon Urry on 13/04/2010 16:51:46
Whitham, Mackenzie and Urry spill the beans on owning the bike of your dreams, sometimes it’s Heaven and sometimes it’s Hell. RC30, RD350LC and 916SP revisited.
.Which is exactly what we’ve done. Jon, Niall and James have all managed to scratch that dream bike itch and ended up owning the bike that means more to them than anything else. The way they managed it might vary, but the result is the same – a bike that brings more

Split the Difference
By James Whitham , Rob Hoyles , Jon Urry on 07/09/2009 16:28:52
Despite being brilliant to ride, to many riders bikes are little more than an efficient form of transport.
decided to sit down and think about what I actually used bikes for, and then see what was available to tick the boxes within the budget. Not including the magazine work, most of my road riding is summer time general transport and local errands. If it

One Fine Day on Britain's Best Biking Road
By Jon Urry on 25/05/2010 14:06:01
To discover the best 10-mile stretch of road anywhere in the UK you have to go to Loch Leven in Scotland. But it's worth the ride
the best 10 miles of biking road in the UK.This claim has been made many times (by us and others) about a particular patch of road, but this time it's hard to refute. James Whitham has been making a pilgrimage to this spot for years with a group of mates

Road Test: CBR1000RR v ZX-10R v GSX-R1000K6 v R1

1000cc sports bikes go ballistic to Majorca. Does the water taste like what it oughta?

Supersport Superstars - 2005 600cc test
By Jon Urry on 01/03/2005 12:09:13
How do you split five of the best supersport machines ever made? It's not easy, but using two of the UK's most successful and experienced racers, a Spanish race track and a day's riding on dry mountain roads is certainly a good start...
Sitting in a Spanish bar following two days of testing the new breed of 600s on both the track and road, we still haven't come to a conclusion. There are two pressing questions. First, who is our favourite film star and secondly, which is the best

Road Test: Tuono v Duke v Brutale v Speed Triple
By Jon Urry on 27/04/2008 21:07:12
In search of naked satisfaction our lads strip down, strip off and head to the seediest street in Europe, Hamburg's Reeperbahn.

Litre-bike super test - Real world superbikes
By Jon Urry on 18/03/2008 15:47:12
The boys from TWO give the big four's litre superbikes a going-over
on the track, so under the watchful eye of ex-WSB man James Whitham we rode them on the sun-drenched mountain roads of southern France. To the limit, and just a little bit beyond...FIRST UP, WHAT'S NEW? With Kawasaki's ZX-10R and Honda's Fireblade nothing has

Road Test: Yamaha FZ1 v. Ducati Monster
By Jon Urry on 20/05/2008 10:10:35
Psst... Don't tell anyone, but there's a revolution underway: proper sports bike motors wrapped in stripped-down, sharp-steering chassis. Run for the hills! The naked generation is upon us!
- is muted performance mated to good looks the way to go?In an effort to find some answers, James Whitham and I descended on south Wales with Yamaha's new FZ1 and Ducati's S4Rs. Two idiots, open roads, powerful naked bikes and about as much combined self
