2006 Fireblade CBR1000RR review

The 2006 Fireblade CBR1000RR is even more well-mannered than its predecessor and all the more rideable because of it, a very good thing when you've got so much power and speed on tap.

ZX-9R E1/E2 (2000 - 2001) review
Not the fastest or sharpest but has no real weak areas, other than finish

R1100S (1998 - 2005) review
As a road bike the Sport S is very good, with loads of low-down power, an excellent gearbox and low maintenance shaft-drive

SV1000 (2003 - 2005) review
The SV1000 is like the 650, but on steroids. Like your best friend it’s solid, reliable and fun to be with. If you are after a naked bike it’s very competent but it does lack the ‘kick-in-the pants’ elements of the TL.

Used Test: Suzuki TL1000R
Created as Japan’s first V-twin World Superbike champion, the TL1000R fell short as a racer. But as a road-going missile, the big Suzuki offered a chunky alternative to Italy’s uncompromising, highly-strung twins. And now it’s criminally cheap

GSX-R600 SRAD (1997 - 2000) review
1997 saw Suzuki emulate it's success with the 750 race rep with the launch of the GSX-R 600.

Live out your RC30 fantasy on a budget

R1200GS (2004 - 2012) review
The best BMW just got better. Don’t risk a test ride unless you’re prepared to part with your cash. Yup, it’s that good.

950 SM Supermoto (2004 - 2008) review
Meet KTM's 942cc supermoto. The motorcycling equivalent of a man with a thousand yard stare, disturbing twitch and a worrying interest in firearms...

K1200R (2005 - 2009) review
It's big, it's weird looking and it doesn't have any clothes on. Oh yes, and it's very, very fast. Are BMW about to take the naked bruiser class by storm?

2010 GSX-R1000 K5-K6 review

The 2010 GSX-R1000 K5-K6 is the very essence of GSX-R; riding it is everything biking should be.

Super Tenere XT1200Z (2010 - present) review
Gets the job done, just not as well as BMW's GS.

K1200 LT (1999 - present) review
The K1200 LT is a significant improvement over the old model, mainly because of the extra stomp from the engine
