Motorcycle First Ride Reviews
First Ride
First Ride: 2005 Ducati S2R
Ducati's latest take on the Monster theme is a refreshing mix of old and new, with up-to-the-minute styling married to a simple, effective air-cooled motor. And it's bang on the money
First Ride
First Ride: 2004 Triumph Daytona 650
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.
First Ride
First Ride: 2004 Ducati 999R

First Ride

First Ride
First Ride: 2004 Buell Lightning CityX

BMW's take on 'race bike for the road' makes a refreshing change from the usual Jap fare.
First Ride
First Ride: 2004 MZ 1000S
From the Eastern Block to the East End, MZ has come a long way. But can the firm's new MZ1000S sports tourer really take on the likes of VFR, Sprint and ST3?
First Ride
First Ride: 2004 Kawasaki KLV1000
Haven't I seen you before somewhere? Deja-vu strikes as Urry rides Kawasaki's KLV1000.
First Ride
First Ride: 2004 Ducati 749R
Following its launch at a soggy Valencia, we try Ducati's beautiful 749R in the dry at Donington.
First Ride
First Ride: 2004 BMW K1200S
Heralded as the sportiest BMW motorbike ever, can the K 1200 S really rival the current hyper-sports bikes? Jon Urry travels to Munich to sample the delights of the German Autobahn and Austrian curves
First Ride
First Ride: 2004 MV Agusta F4 1000S
With company finances back on track and production delays a thing of the past (for now...), the long awaited F4 1000S is finally, eventually, here. At last...
First Ride
First Ride: 2004 Moto Guzzi Nevada Classic 750
The Nevada name has been part of the Moto Guzzi catalogue for more than a decade now, but this year it's a 90% new bike.
First Ride
First Ride: 2004 Honda CRF250-X
Mossy goes over the hills and far away on Honda's new CRF250-X enduro tool. Off-roading just got a whole lot easier.
First Ride

The most gorgeous motorcycle ever? Harley-Davidson's Porsche powered flagship V-Rod receives sharp new clothes for 2004
First Ride
First Ride: 2004 Victory Kingpin
Victory hopes to attract a younger generation by producing a versatile, powerful cruiser. Can Victory pin down the kings for the full count?
First Ride
First Ride: 2004 Triumph Tiger
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?
First Ride
First Ride: Buell XB9S (2002-03)
"So, gentlemen, as you can see, the new XB9S Lightning is the latest generation in the street-inspired Buell family and a different take on the Buell XB series."
First Ride
First Ride: 2002-03 Aprilia RSV-R Mille
What on earth could Aprilia do to improve their already-ace Mille-R? Not an enormous amount as I discovered at the launch of the 2003 bike in Italy.
First Ride
First Ride: 2002 Aprilia Tuono Fighter
Aprilia launch the production version of their Tuono-R concept bike, the Tuono Fighter. With a Mille engine and chassis, near-on full superbike power and streetfighter styling, you just know this is going to be a bad boy.
First Ride
First Ride: 2002 Triumph Speed Four
Picture the scene if you will. It's 2006, we're in the middle of a recession and another Government still ignores the benefits of motorcycles to the detriment of UK road users everywhere.
First Ride
First Ride: 2002 Kawasaki ZZ-R1200
I think it's fair to say the old ZZ-R1100 was more than a bit past its sell by date. I last rode one about three years ago, on a flat out European speed mission in the company of a Suzuki Hayabusa and Honda Blackbird.
First Ride
First Ride: 2002 BMW R1150GS Adventure
Straight off the bleary early morning flight into a sodden Malaga and first sight of BMW's new R1150GS Adventure knocks me out with a hammer blow of sheer presence - it's big.
First Ride
First Ride: 2002 Yamaha YZF-R1
Yamaha's project leader for the new R1 was a chap called Yoshikazu Koike, and his brief was just two words: "jinba atai." Confused?
First Ride
First Ride: 2002 Kawasaki ZX-9R
And so to the 2002 ZX-9R, also tweaked for this year and feeling distinctly healthier for it. The motor feels the same, but the handling (once adjusted) is definitely better...
