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

Best engine in a basic, cut-price package - ripe for modification!

In the six years since we first saw the B-King it has been the subject of heated discussion in Japan. Should it be dumbed down for mass market or a full-blown radical bike? Find out who won the argument…

In a bid to leave no touring cruiser micro-niche unfilled, Harley-Davidson serves up an Electra Glide with a twist

Packing the biggest and most powerful Yamaha cruiser engine yet, plus a bag of styling cues lifted from the 1930s, the Midnight Star is bristling with modern technology. It's even got an EXUP valve
