It's pricey single-cylinder special time.

At last Aprilia have arrived with a middleweight. Laden with high-tech features and cutting edge styling. Only it's 750cc. And £5600. You have to ask, is this cheating?

The grandfather of the retro scene is back (with a new hip replacement)

Old faithful returns with a new jacket, starched braces and a spanking new motor

A new set of glad rags, a tweak of the chassis here and a fettled gearbox there, et voila: a really rather splendid new big Zed

Corsaro too lairy? Then here's a more amiable naked.

Harder, sharper and more track focused than ever before. The new ZX-6R challenges you to a fight down at your local race track. He who reaches his limit first, loses.

Achingly beautiful, plain aching to ride. Another classic stunner from Italy.

Yamaha's latest Star is an exercise in big-small.

Yamaha won the supersport 600 sales war in 2006, and Honda is out for revenge. They think the all-new CBR600RR is the tool for the job, and Niall Mackenzie reckons they might be right.

After the hype comes the reality. And for lucky Niall that reality is served on the silver platter that is Kyalami circuit in South Africa. And the verdict? Oh my word, are you ready for this?

A resurgent Moto Guzzi unveils another new model, and at a race track ferchrissakes. Mackenzie rides the new 1200 Sport.

Fancy an ER-6 but find it a bit too small? The Versys offers relief. John Hogan rides Kawasaki's lanky new 'any road' tool.

A Ducati with 50 per cent reduced maintenance costs? What have they done? Chopped off one of the cylinders? A confused Jon Urry investigates.
