Posted
by
With a relatively successful racing career behind him, including a Canadian National Championship and an Isle of Man TT podium, former racer Andreas Georgeades decided to hang up his leathers and pursue his passion of squeezing powerful car engines into custom built motorcycles. Between 1978 and 1998, Andreas built three Ferrari powered custom motorcycles. Two…

Launch report: Yamaha SCR950
Posted
by
Yamaha’s SCR950 is hampered by its marketing. Described as being: “Inspired by the street scramblers of the 1960s,” many journalists’ default position will be to thrust it straight into a pigeon-hole already swollen with the likes of Ducati’s Scrambler, Triumph’s Street Scrambler and BMW’s R-nine-T Scrambler. I’d consider the XSR700 to have more potential to…

Launch ride: 2017 KTM 1290 Super Adventure S
Posted
by
The 1290 Super Adventure S is a hybrid. KTM has taken the more compact form of the 1190 Adventure, filled it with the 1290’s, 1301cc 158bhp motor, and reduced the tank size from 30 to 23 litres. And then it dropped the 1190 from the range. The rethink makes sense – the £10,999 1050 was…

Launch ride: 2017 Yamaha MT-10 SP & Tourer Edition
Posted
by
Yamaha’s MT-10 is a stunning machine. Launched last year, the company was keen to stress that it wasn’t ‘just’ an R1 with wide bars, though given the fact that it uses the hyper-sports bike’s frame, swingarm, suspension and headlights, not to mention many of the crossplane crank motor’s main parts, you’d be forgiven for thinking…

Meet the Ducati Panigale R Cafe Racer – ‘The Blue Shark’
Posted
by
You all know the 2016 Ducati Panigale R pretty well. Out last year, and costing just shy of £30,000 – the Panigale R is pretty much state of the art as far as buyable Ducatis go… Now, imagine cutting one up and making this…’The Blue Shark’. In 2016, this bike rolled straight off the Ducati…

Video: Triumph Street Cup
Posted
by
Triumph seems to be taking the task of attracting new people into motorcycling very seriously. Only days after the launch of the new Street Triples – a family of bikes that includes not only the 765cc inline triples, but also a dedicated 660cc version that can be restricted for A2 licence-holders – I was in…

Meet the BMW K75 Alpha. The world’s best unofficial BMW custom bike (we reckon).
Posted
by
https://youtu.be/obK7azLtcMI It’s not often an unofficial concept bike makes it to the heady world of ‘reality’ – but this one has. And there’s something about the BMW Alpha K75 concept machine that we really like. The drawings (below) appeared some time ago courtesy of designer Mehmut Doruk Erdem and are based on an old Salt…

Ages ago we showed you this great, three part video documentary of Burt Munro, the real-life hero upon which the Anthony Hopkins movie The World’s Fastest Indian is based. And we figured we’d show you them again. Everything we loved about Burt’s story is shown in these films. Including the ‘Dirty old men need love…
