2014 Honda CTX1300 review
Posted
by
£14,999 | 83bhp@6000rpm | 78lb-ft@4500rpm | 90° V4 liquid-cooled four-stroke Between small-capacity bikes, and the ‘king of tourers’ – the GL1800 Gold Wing – there’s long been a gap in Honda’s range waiting to be filled. The F6B and new F6C help to bring the ‘Wing’s magnificent six-cylinder engine to a wider audience, but Honda has…

2014 Yamaha XVS1300 Custom review
Posted
by
£8999 | 71bhp @5500rpm | 76 lb-ft @4000rpm | 1304cc, liquid cooled v-twin Listen to the bar-room experts and they’ll tell you that cruisers are rubbish. They don’t go, don’t handle and don’t stop apparently. Thing is, I’ll wager that few of those pundits haven’t actually ridden one for a while…if ever. For 2014,…
