RSV4-R (2009 - 2014) review
Did anyone really think Aprilia could pull off a four-stroke masterstroke and build a world-beating V-four powered superbike? I know I didn’t.
F4 1000 312R (2009 - 2011) review
With the excitement surrounding the 1098, MV's 1000F4 has been somewhat forgotten. The launch of the latest 312R indicated we've been negligent. Perhaps grossly. A track focused beast of beauty, works on every level
ZX-6R Ninja (2009 - 2011) review
Kawasaki gives the ZX-6R MotoGP technology with it's Big Piston Forks.
2009 R1 review
The 2009 Yamaha R1 is without doubt the most user-friendly 1000cc sports bike to date.
First Ride: Buell 1125R
When you think about racing, you don't think about Buell. So can a manufacturer who's used to building bikes around Harley engines build a decent sportsbike?
First Ride: 2008 Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade
Honda doesn’t do quirky on its sportsbikes without a very good reason. Niall puts Honda's new superbike through its paces
First ride: Ducati 1098R
Thinking of buying a 1098R Ducati? Check out our first ride report of the ultimate factory superbike for the road
Used Review: Suzuki GSX-R750
A classic headbanger's bike, the SRAD and 750Y models of the legendary GSX-R were once giant killers. But how do they stand the ravages of time?
Used Test: 2001 GSX-R1000 review
Upon its launch, the 2001 GSX-R1000 swept all before it. Six years later it is still arguably the best of the litre sports bike brood, but how does it handle in the fiercely fought second-hand sector?
Used Review: Honda VTR1000 SP-1 & SP-2
Designed to take on and beat the Ducatis in WSB, the SP-1 and SP-2 did just that. But how does it fare in the more cut-throat world of used sales? Bertie Simmonds finds out.
Living with a 2008 Yamaha YZF-R6
Andy loved his R6 and rolled around on it like a cut-price Rossi. Here's his review
Legendary Supersports - 2008 600cc Test
Whitham is joined by British greats to assess the supersport machines
Spot the Difference - 2008 Supersport 1000 Test
The latest batch of thousand cc superbikes are so fast, efficient and similar to each other that it’s now almost impossible to tell them apart. Niall and James put forward the argument that in 2008, it really doesn’t matter which model you ride anymore...
2007 CBR1000RR v ZX-10R v GSX-R1000 v R1
Is WSB exciting right now, or what? JT's Blade neck and neck with the R1 of Nitro and Troy C. Not to mention Max and the new K7. But what of the road bikes that lie beneath? Yes, what of...?
Road Test: 2004 Yamaha R1 vs. 2007 Yamaha R1
Yamaha's YZF-R1 goes head-to-head with itself in a bitter, old-versus-new family feud. Niall Mackenzie splits the difference in sunny southern Spain.
Road Test: Ducati 999s vs. 1098s
The 999 didn't win so many hearts, but it won a lot of races. The 1098 has us weak at the knees but can it perform? Dukes go head-to-head in Spain.
Road Test: R1200R v. XB12R v. GT650R v Multistrada
Talk of twins and it's a fair bet you'll be imagining a Ducati 999 or Aprilia Factory. But what are the 'alternative' two-pot choices?
Road Test: RSV-R Factory v. 999S v. F4 1000R
Sometimes you've just got to kick back and let rip. Niall Mackenzie blows away the cobwebs at Oulton Park with a fiery threesome of desirable Italian exotica.
Road Test: RS v Raptor v GPR v CBR v Van Van v DT
You're young, dumb and flush with enough cash to fill your tank. Bike mad teens after a groovy 125 to cut their two-wheeled teeth on are spoiled for choice these days, so which to choose?
Road Test: Ducati 749 v GSX-R750 K6 v 675 Daytona
Oversized 600s or underpowered1000s? With choices like these now is the time to think outside the box and dip into the middle ground.
Road Test: CBR1000RR v ZX-10R v GSX-R1000K6 v R1
1000cc sports bikes go ballistic to Majorca. Does the water taste like what it oughta?
First Ride: 2006 Suzuki GSX-R600 review
More power, less weight, and all wrapped in a GSX-R1000 looky-likey form. It's bound to kick butt on-track - but can it deliver on the road?
2006 Yamaha R1 review
Yamaha jumps the gun and launches the 2006 R1 before the competition. Over-confidence, or are the small changes enough to make a big difference?
