Suomy Vandal
Price: £299
Reader rating: 4/5 from 3 reviews
magazines and forumites have complained about high noise levels, I don't find it that bad myself but if it bothers you then stick in some earplugs.I've only replaced it because I moved down under and helmets without the Aussie standards sticker are illegal

Ducati 916SP (1995 - 1997)
Price: £16600
Year: 1995
seat unit (bulbous, bulky) but everything else on the 916SP is still as sparse and beautifully designed as it always was. The markings on the switchgear have faded with time and the Termignoni stickers on the carbon cans are threadbare, but the 916

Benelli Tre K Amazonas (2009 - present)
Price: £7699
Year: 2009
.Press the starter on the Tre-K (but don’t give it any gas, as the sticker on the tank informs you) and it coughs into life with an instant, nasty bark. You can always rely on small volume Italian manufacturers to flaunt EU noise regulations and the Tre-K doesn

the perfect proofing ground for a sportsbike.Visually, the ZX-6R hasn't changed one blob apart from the 636 sticker on the side. The new capacity has been arrived at by reaming-out (wahey!) the bores 2mm, to give a bore and stroke of 68x43.8mm, compared to 66x

looked as good as the day I bought it, the stickers were in place and once the grime was removed the paintwork gleamed. Weaknesses: After 10 years of a two hour train journey to and from work I started biking in 2004, having had Triumph TT600 (ace

Honda VFR400 NC30 (1988 -1994)
Year: 1990
Reader rating: 4/5 from 6 reviews
I owned for nearly six years. The clocks had the traditional mph sticker over the top (the cheapest way of converting the speedo from kph but rendering them completely illegible due to the jumble of numbers).The square tank and ‘sat in’ riding

Aprilia SXV 550 (2007 - present)

Reader rating: 4/5 from 4 reviews
came up with a new engine, an ultra compact V-twin that is remarkably smooth to ride.Looking at the SXV550 you imagine it will bite your head off, smother your daughter with semen then leave her sobbing in the corner. But although its 2008 sticker

Buell XB9R Firebolt

Year: 2003
height: 775mm Fuel capacity: 14.0L Full Review: After pinning the throttle down Valencia’s main straight, he pops out of the bubble on the Buell XB9R Firebolt as the big hand points to the 220km/hr sticker (that’s quite fast you know) and with his wobbly

is great. It’s a cruise bike that looks like a dead hard racebike. The looks are intimidating, but the bike certainly isn’t. And it does look brilliant, I’ve got to say. That 1,400cc sticker on the side carries heaps of credibility, with those huge, chrome

. Many owners complain of disc warping (check for a mild throbbing at the lever during a test ride). Lots were replaced under warranty.FinishSome nuts and bolts can look scrappy without TLC, but paint and stickers are generally good quality. Cosmetic mods
