Suzuki has never made a bad GSX-R1000, and they still haven?t. Their flagship superbike always leads the class, never follows, and the new GSX-R1000K7 is no different. Not only does it have more power than ever before ? up 7bhp...

In the Kawasaki ZX-6R, Kawasaki has built a race ready 600 which is road legal, just. Everything about the ZX-6R is track focused, you could enter a standard Kawasaki ZX-6R into a club race and you wouldn?t be far behind...

BMW?s sometime popular BMW 's F650GS single-cylinder range gets updated stable mates. Consisting of a road cum enduro motorcycle (BMW G650 XChallenge), a supermoto motorcycle (BMW G650 XMoto), and a dual-purpose soft trailie motorcycle (BMW G650 XCountry), which is more akin to the...

It?s been a long time coming, but thankfully Honda has given us a new Honda CB600F Hornet for 2007. The only similarity to the old model is the name; it?s an entirely new bike running the same engine as their...

Suzuki?s big-bore GSF1250 Bandit gets an all-new engine designed to meet latest Euro legislation. In doing so, Suzuki have created a 98cc bigger, 1255cc water-cooled, fuel-injected, tourque-laden peach of an engine. The GSF1250 Bandit's frame and suspension have also been upgraded...

The special 'Factory' version of Aprilia?s evergreen fuel-injected 660cc single-cylinder Pegaso (it?s been around in 1989 in various guises - it was the Italian firm?s first ever 'big' motorcycle) is a true gem. With its chunky new radial front brake,...

The Kawasaki Z1000 is revamped enough to be called ?new?. The Kawasaki Z1000's styling exercise is worthy of a Modern Tate placing ? nothing else Japanese has so many styling details. The ex-ZX-9R motor is tweaked for a less frantic...
-
Over recent years Kawasaki has created an impressive portfolio of cruisers and Kawasaki VN900 Custom is one of its best yet. The Kawasaki VN900 Custom's laid back, chopper style is down largely to its distinctive, cast alloy big 21-inch front...

The second version of the Kawasaki Z750 hits the right spot for lovers of style and a zinging engine. Much underrated in its original guise, the Kawasaki Z750 mimics the new stunning Kawasaki Z1000 for attitude, but has an engine...

Simply put the best road going Supermoto bike currently available. Ok it?s not really for competition use but as road going Supermoto bikes go the new KTM 690 is king. Easy to ride with exceptional road manners, practical, yet at...

It?s called the ?312? because MV claims it?ll do 312km/h, which equates to about 193mph. When we put it to the test it only managed 182 along a two-mile runway, albeit in a headwind. Costing fifteen grand it needs to...

The new Suzuki GSF650 Bandit should continue the success story of the little Bandit. The improvements have made the new Suzuki GSF650 Bandit much more refined, easier to ride than ever and should appeal to a mass audience.

It?s been a long time since new models from Moto Guzzi were anything to get excited about and although there?s nothing radical or inspiring about the Bellagio, and it?s still mostly been assembled by raiding the parts bins, for a...

The Buell XB12STT is a new, horny looking, supermoto-inspired derivative of the Buell XB12S Lightning and Buell XB12R Firebolt series is probably the most fun Buell motorcycle yet. Great looks, a stumpy and sharp chassis plus the familiarly grunty 1203cc...

Ducati has come up with a genuinely and refreshingly different motorcycle with the Ducati Hypermotard. It offers all the fun of a conventional supermoto motorcycle with its light and agile handling, and a pathological penchant for wheelies, but thanks to its big...

The Victory Hammer S is the latest product of America?s fledgling ?second? motor company with a slightly sportier stance and image than the stock Hammer due to mean black slathered everywhere and gorgeous Performance Machine Gatlin wheels, the rear wearing...

The Aprilia Shiver is the first Aprilia to be created from a clean sheet of paper since cash-rich Piaggio took to the helm, and on the basis of our test it?s a good-un. The Aprilia Shiver is one of a...

The hub-centre steered Bimota Tesi is back. This is the third generation Bimota Tesi: the 3D. It costs £19,600 and is powered by the Ducati Multistrada 1100 engine. Although the Bimota Tesi is beautifully made, it?s a very cramped motorcycle...

The Kawasaki GTR1400 is the long-awaited, long-rumoured flagship sports tourer based on the powerhouse ZZ-R1400 ? and it?s been worth the wait. The GTR1400 is a classy, smooth and potent bit of kit, delivering a magic carpet ride across continents...
-
The The BMW HP2 Megamoto?s £12,595 price tag is ridiculously high and will stop most of us from ever experiencing it, which is a great shame. The HP2 Megamoto is far more agile, powerful and fun than you?d ever imagine...
-
Buell?s commitment to satisfy existing and prospective customers? requests for more performance has led the firm to sourcing an all-singing modern Rotax powerplant to fit in an all-dancing chassis to create the 1125R. Fuelling and suspension problems blighted the pre-production...

The Nightster is the result of a simple plan by Harley-Davidson and it?s brilliantly executed. What plan? To take the second cheapest model (Sportster 1200) in Harley-Davidson?s vast range and tweak its styling to end up with a new bike...
-
The verdict is still up in the air regarding the futuristic, dynamic looks of the Suzuki B-King. It seems you either hate it or love it. What can be said for sure is the B-King is very fast, enough to...

Triumph?s new Street Triple looks just like a Speed Triple but with the engine out of the Daytona 675 ? and it?s a revalation. The Street Triple is light, fast, fun, agile, sounds great, stylish, cool and cheap, too. Overnight...

The BMW K1200R Sport is a dazzling mix of super-naked-meets-sports-tourer. Although it?s basically a K1200R with a half fairing it manages to combine all the fun of a mad, agile naked but is comfortable and practical enough to go touring...
