The SV1000 is like an SV650, but on steroids. Like your best friend it’s solid, reliable and fun to be with. If you are after a naked bike it’s very competent but it does lack the ‘kick-in-the pants’ elements of the TL

Arguably the most beautiful motorcycle of all time, the Agusta is let down only by a slightly underpowered 749cc engine

A beautiful machine finally gets the power output it deserves and now goes as well as it looks

When it comes to style few can match the Italians. But is Ducati's 999, Benelli's Tornado and Aprilia's RSV-R's beauty only skin deep?

The big boss takes the CBR954RR FireBlade for a spin

It's big, it's old and a bit of a relic. But enough about Bertie, see how he got on with the monster 2003 GSX-R1000.

We took the four road-going versions from 2003's TT winning bikes together with two TT specialists, back to the home of road racing

Warren Pole appeared to have the most number of longterm motorcycles to review here, but seemed to write the least about them. Figure that out?

We like Jon Urry, despite the fact he owns a 2CV. He is a very nice man and he reviews his Daytona 600 here using words and images

Close, but no biscuit. A good bike, but a better buy second hand at a good price

Overlooked by fashion, out-classed on the racetrack, is there any point in a modern day 750? Wozza and co thrash the cream of the crop to find out

600cc sportsbike in the CBR mould. Only a dodgy clutch lets it down

When you absolutely, positively have to go as fast as possible from one point to another there is only one class to turn to. But when the siren goes off is the new GSX-R still the fastest way to get to a nuclear bunker?

Slick styling, a strong motor and chassis tweaks put the ZX-6R right back up there. Big bore motor may be cheating, but who cares when it's this much fun?

With minor niggles addressed, the new CBR is a sound improvement on an already stunning package. More success beckons

The R1100S Boxer Cup Replika is a really individual, fun to ride sports bike that oozes quality and comes with a ton of presence

Almost as good as a 999S while being about two grand cheaper, better looking and without getting caught in the crack of my arse

Not as sexy as its faired siblings, but the more upright riding position will make more sense for learners

IN 2003 600s took a step forward with a new ultra-sporty breed appearing rather than the all-round bikes they'd always been.
