Motorcycle First Ride Reviews

Miss two-stroke 250s? Try one of these

A big mile-muncher with surprisingly good handling. Shame there isn’t the power to match

Everyone notices a 106dB V-twin – especially the police

A superior transport solution

Who knew a VFR1200 engine could sound this good?

Yes, it’s very charming, but can that make this 23hp single worth £5,200?

It might make slightly less power than its predecessor but dynos don't measure fun

Tried and tested around the Top Gear test track

A latest-generation Ducati, only more affordable

Can the new Tuono hold its own in the ultra-competitive super nakeds class?

Piaggio's innovative three-wheeler gets traction control, ABS, and styling revisions for 2014

UK's best selling big scooter gets traction control and ABS. Would extra power have been more useful?

Visordown rides the updated V7 Stone, Special and Racer

A true beast of a naked bike, but is it worth £300 more than BMW's S1000R?

VFR purists - this is the upgrade you’ve been waiting for

The CB650F is Honda's latest bid to excite existing motorcyclists while also attracting new ones. It manages the former. Let's hope it does the latter.

Smooth, comfortable, easy to ride, and now as safe as ever with Bosch ABS

It still delivers a raw experience but KTM's revised supermoto is now more refined

Packing the world's biggest parallel-twin motorcycle engine and the kerb weight to rival a meteorite, we take the hefty LT through the hectic roads of London on the daily commute. Can it cut it?

Suddenly half a dozen other models look too expensive - Yamaha's new MT-07 is more for less

It's got enough useable torque to drag a whale without going near the red line. Shame you need small feet to ride it.

The maxi scooter that's really a motorcycle

For under £3,000 can Korean manufacturer Daelim pose a threat to the competition?

It has all the soul of a coffee maker and it’s exactly what motorcycling needs
