Not as much fun as the 900, not as good value as the 600

Daytona 750 without the fairing. Over-weight and under-powered

Recently relegated from the cutting edge by newer, sharper sports middleweights, the Ninja 600 is a genuine allrounder with some edge

If you can stomach the Mr Blobby looks, this is the affordable way to buy 750 power in a fairing.

Passable performance offroad, but the Senda R is more aimed at young riders on a restricted license than competition

Bizarre looking Philippe Starck concept bike with Pegaso engine

Mighty strong engine not matched by the lack of brakes, suspension, technology..

De-tuned FJ motor could do with more horses to haul its heavy arse along

Early supermoto 125 handles well enough, but corrodes quickly

Fully faired air cooled twin with limited performance

Fruity handling, peach of a motor and banana in colour

Much more flexible than the Italian 125s in restricted form and cheaper, too

Anonymous but sturdy workhorse with one half of an old GPZ1000RX motor

Superb handling middleweight sports bike fitted with heaps of trick bits
