The trials & tribulations of Foggy Petronas
By Stuart Barker on 09/01/2008 14:57:49
At the end of this season Team Foggy Petronas will be no more. After five years the team still hasn't won a WSB race and the FP1 road bike has yet to go on general sale. So what went wrong?
By August of 2001, Carl Fogarty was ready to turn his back on the sport which had made him a household name. After wining four World Superbike titles for Ducati he was frustrated at the lack of progress being made in trying to run his own Ducati team and was considering 'walking ...

First Ride: 2006 Kawasaki ER-6F
By Jon Urry on 12/05/2008 22:27:11
Less self-consciously 'funky' thank its unfaired sibling - but has Kawasaki's new twin got what it takes to beat Suzuki's SV650S?
WHEN WE TESTED the naked ER-6n a few months ago it proved a real surprise. On paper the parallel twin motor, wilfully odd looks and curious paint combinations seemed unpromising. But, basic though it was, the ER-6n's feisty character charmed everyone who rode it.Kawasaki obviousl...

First Ride: 2002 Triumph TT600
By Visordown on 12/07/2002 10:07:06
When I've mentioned the TT600, a few unkind souls have been mean to suggest it was a shame the entire remaining stock of TTs wasn't destroyed in Triumph's factory blaze. Highly out of order a suggestion as this may be, it does have a reason behind it
After all, the original TT was hardly a bike to write home about because although Triumph did a demon job on the chassis and stoppers, they fell well short of the mark in terms of engine performance, throttle response and styling and, in a class as fiercely (and closely) conteste...

By Steve Cropley on 15/09/2004 12:47:48
Gentleman motorcyclist Steve Cropley dispatches motorways and B-roads on the Thruxton and asks who will buy the nouveaux retro
September 2004I used to have one of these. Triumph twins, I mean. Mine wasn't the revered '60s Thruxton Bonneville, but it was very definitely a traditional-looking, teardrop tank, air-cooled, Meriden-built Triumph twin from the era this latest Thruxton 900 is trying so hard to r...

Everyone seems to be riding the long term Victory Vegas
September 2004 - Adam HarveyThe last cruiser I rode was the gorgeous V-Rod, so the Vegas had a lot to live up to. It didn't let me down. The Vegas looks good from any angle and its beautifully crafted curves never fail to turn heads and raise eyebrows.But the best view is when yo...

Longest Test: Triumph Bonnevlle
By Barry Tavner on 02/11/2009 10:42:07
Until recently, Barry Tavner’s Bonnie has been mocked by most in the office. In the south of France, however, things are very different...
As the mechanical jaws of the Pride of Dover slowly open, the midday sunshine floods over the Bonneville and we embark on our own mini Jupiter’s Travels, though perhaps ‘Moon’s Travels’ would be more appropriate given Ted Simon went round the world on his and all I’m doing is hea...
