Living with a 2004 Yamaha YZF-R6
On 15/06/2004 in Road Tests
Tim proves that the Yamaha R6 can handle the tracks, the commute and life as a tourer
-in and feedback at big lean angles. Urry reckons the same, and it makes us wonder still more why Yamaha doesn't supply the bike like this.I was also keen to see how the R6 behaved on a different make of tyre. Waiting thousands of miles for rubber to wear out blurs

corner, few of you will need to be told too much about the all-new Yamaha YZF-R1, such has been the hype surrounding this ground-breaking new machine.Ducati’s dominance of World Superbikes in 2008 was matched only by Rossi’s brilliance in Moto

First Ride: Yamaha YZF-R1 (2005-6)
On 07/05/2008 in Road Tests: First Rides
Yamaha jumps the gun and launches the 2006 R1 before the competition. Over-confidence, or are the small changes enough to make a big difference?
It was my best lap of the day, no question. I came flying into the Catalunya circuit's stadium section, sliced through the final four right handers with Yamaha's exotic new YZF-R1 feeling as sharp as a Barcelona's butcher's knife, and held

First Ride: 2002 Yamaha YZF-R1
On 29/03/2008 in Road Tests: First Rides
Yamaha's project leader for the new R1 was a chap called Yoshikazu Koike, and his brief was just two words: "jinba atai." Confused?
it down. Then I read it back and realised I was still none the wiser. Damn. A few beers and a lot of chat with Yamaha's PR staff later I'd cracked it - the aim with the new R1 was to create fusion, to bring rider and machine together in perfect harmony

Class of '93: Ducati 888 SP5 vs Yamaha OW01
On 14/01/2011 in Road Tests
Yamaha hadn’t achieved the racing success they wanted with their OW01, but Ducati enjoyed the opposite with the very pinnacle of 851 development in 1993
That’s not to say that Yamaha hadn’t made a useful and widely publicised impact back in 1989. In order to eclipse Honda’s RC30 on track, they built 500 OW01 homologation specials that created a media frenzy thanks to an unprecedented level

On 21/12/2011 in Road Tests: Used
It’s 1985 and the biking public are crying out for replicas of the Grand Prix bikes that are thrilling them on TV. So Yamaha and Suzuki call their bluff
red-blooded male wants to emulate. The bikes are outrageous, the riders are legends. Christ, who doesn’t want to be part of the action? And now you can be. You can even choose your side.Last year Yamaha launched the world’s first true GP replica

First Ride: 2013 Yamaha TMAX Black Max 530 review
On 11/04/2013 in Road Tests: First Rides
Yes, it's been out for a while but Yamaha never invited us on the launch. We pitch it against London's broken streets and Birmingham's frozen motorways.
's no surprise that the launch of Yamaha's new TMAX 530 went largely under the radar for the average motorcyclist in the UK. Yamaha claim the TMAX 'on one hand it's a sporty motorcycle, on the other hand a practical and comfortable maxi-scooter'. That's a bold
