Andy loved his R6 and rolled around on it like a cut-price Rossi. Here's his review

I’d expect to make a decent saving over those more established rivals before parting with my cash, but the Comet is worth a look

Jon Bentman discusses the relative merits of owning a free Honda CBR600RR to review

John Cantlie reviews the RM-Z250 and reckons he has a pathetically mis-aligned mindset. We'd agree.

Great machine that could unsettle the unwary or the undemanding

With wheelie-happy monsters like Honda's new CRF450X, never has there been a better reason to get stuck in the mud

It's the best looking bike of the year bar none. But is Triumph's new Speed Triple all show and no go? Urry heads south to find out

The mighty H brings us its take on the Supermoto trend with this sheep in wolf's clothing

A new frame, a new motor and with the 1996 GSX-R750, suddenly the GSX-R's back on. 

On sheer rideability the V-Strom is the leader of the pack, and, all things considered, the best all-round package in this class

With the old engine the KTM was a fairly bonkers machine, now it’s even sillier. It’s almost impossible not to wheeile the 990SM when you pull away in first gear, just open the throttle and the front comes up. Second requires almost as little effort and by the time you are in third you are giggling inside your lid like a child.

Awesome brakes, really grunty motor and sharp handling make the Fazer fly

Japan's answer to the dominance of Ducati twins gave us the character-driven Firestorm that, while it never quite matched the Italian marque for desirability, makes an excellent alternative

Aprilia's first sportsbike impressed immediately and continues to do so to this day. Good looks and macho design make this a desirable chunk of everyday exotica

The grandfather of the retro scene is back (with a new hip replacement). It's sharper and stronger than before without losing any character

A surprisingly good baby cruiser offering gentle, if slow, fun

The 2007 R1 looks the goods but is it? Who better to say than Niall Mackenzie, ex-GP god turned mortal?

It's big and bold, but is Yamaha's design-leading naked bike any good or just the product of an overactive imagination? Jon Urry travels to South Africa in search of answers

Niall Mackenzie's long term review of the KTM SuperDuke

Pirelli’s new Diablo Rosso tyres caters specifically for riders of sportsbikes and street bikes
