Ducati 1098 Bayliss Mallory Park track test
On 24/06/2010 in Road Tests
Angry, stiff, unforgiving and verging on the unmanageable in inexperienced hands. BUT with a super-strong engine, amazing brakes and a soundtrack to savour. Hard work
’s the noise. From the clatter of clutch to the painfully loud induction noise and booming tailpipes it’s a fabulous bit of professional dramatics. Few neighbours would agree though.Mallory Park Track DataThe Ducati posted the third fastest time of the four

2010 BMW S1000RR Niall Mackenzie track test
On 03/06/2010 in Road Tests: First Rides
Visordown’s road test editor is also a three times British Superbike Champion. So who better to sample the most eagerly awaited bike from BMW? Niall Mackenzie takes the S1000RR to the edge
of pared down weight is just as evident when you’re hustling the S1000 RR round a track. It’s really easy to flick from one bank angle to another – handy at this circuit because one corner just flows into another and high speed direction changes are crucial

2010 Aprilia RSV4 Factory Mallory Park track test
On 24/06/2010 in Road Tests
Small, feisty and peaky, but raw, basic and flawed in some respects. Aside from all that, a beautiful creation and a most lusted after machine. And very, very fast too
