By Daryll Young on 25/11/2010 16:30:36

By mark forsyth on 17/02/2012 11:29:36

First Ride: 2008 Yamaha YZF-R6
By James Whitham on 10/04/2008 23:14:59
James Whitham used to be a bit tasty on an R6 in World Supersport, so he’s uniquely placed to give the ‘08 bike a proper seeing-to...

At last Aprilia have arrived with a middleweight. Laden with high-tech features and cutting edge styling. Only it's 750cc. And £5600. You have to ask, is this cheating?

By Harriet Ridley on 20/10/2007 11:23:48
Meet Gaston Howard, professional stuntdouble for the likes of Will Smith and LL Cool J. Typical duties include jumping drawbridges in the dark and crashing Harleys. Yes, it's a dangerous job - but someone's got to do it...
