Those who get to take charge of a Brutale will not be disappointed by a bike that performs as it looks: mean, lean and thoroughly crazy

The fact that it begs for abuse and daft riding appeals. Stick a loud pipe on it and you'll get even more attention

As a Sunday morning and occasional trackday plaything we would all have one in our garage

It’s a brilliant bike and everything it promises to be. In Bertie’s words; “It turns every roundabout into the Ascari Curve and constant radius turns into the Parabolica at Monza”

The 749S is a better bike than the 749 and when it comes to price the 749S is cheaper than both the 999 and 999S, and if you don’t mind missing a few bhp is virtually the same bike

While better styling will no doubt lead to better sales, this bike also offers more value for money than the old model, and that makes it a winner

A good-looking bike that is a nice alternative to the classic look of the Bonneville

The deposed King of Speed. Once the fastest sports tourer around

Hand-built classic racer to commemorate Mike Hailwood's 1978 Formula 1 TT victory

Single-seat version with uprated suspension front and back

As unmistakeable as a Porsche 911, still one of the best looking bikes on the planet

CCM's new R30 is a step closer to a competition bike and arguably the firm's best-looking to date. Mackenzie says: "CCM needed a bike like this - they've been too bulky in the past. I love the slim, minimal build and look of the bike and the rasp from that exhaust (£130 CCM option) is awesome."

The 2001 GSX-R600 K1-K3 is Suzuki's all new GSX-R for the new millennium.

Capable on/offroad big trailie that benefits from Aprilia's customary big twin thump

Good bike, but could do with a style revamp and re-positioning in BMW’s range

An improved version of the already impressive Senda R, ready for the asphalt

The Adventure is the ultimate GS – it’s got the sheer usefulness of the stocker, but with bolt-on practicality and a stack more attitude
