Two bikes from the upper echelon of the motorcycle world, the £42,000 Desmosedici RR and the Samurai Type 5

In the name of science John Hogan, a sportsbike-riding father of three, spends a £69,000 weekend with both. If money really can buy you happiness, and if a bike really can be six times as good as a Japanese sports 600, he’s sure as hell going to find out.
