The Daytona 600 has always had the legs; it's one of the best-handling 600s around. With an extra 47cc - and a load more mid-range - the Daytona 650 might nearly be the perfect middleweight.

Confusingly enough, this new Tiger is actually designated a 2005 model, even though it is already in the shops. Why? Supply and demand - the 2004 Tiger has sold out already! So what's new?

The 2004 Rocket III has an engine larger than most family estates, so naturally Triumph launched this flagship model in the land where excess is the name of the game.

Expensive new but affordable now, Jon Urry has a second look at Triumph's sporting middleweight

For a Sunday morning or commuter bike it looks great but lacks a bit of the charm of the old bikes whose style it apes. However, what it loses in character it makes up for in the absence of oil leaks

Urry swaps the speed of sports bike for the sedate Tiger 1050 to experience the sense of adventure
