Triumph Bonneville T100
Posted
by
Unashamedly celebrating the past, the Bonneville T100 serves a perfect reminder of how things used to be back in the days when open-face helmets were the norm and the Ace Café was doing a roaring trade with rockers. One of three Bonnevilles in the current range, the T100 is the most authentic replica of…

2009 Suzuki GSX-R1000
Posted
by
For 2009 Suzuki’s GSX-R1000 is entirely new, but can it still work as well on the road as it does the track, or is this a motorcycle that is only good for one thing? Abusing tyres? Let’s get one thing straight right from the off here. I am not some wannabe Superbike racer who…

2009 Honda CBF125 Review
Posted
by
Honda’s all-new CBF125 may not be as drop-dead gorgeous as Yamaha’s stunning YZF-125 or as sporty looking as its popular CBR125 stablemate, but it’s a whole lot more practical, quite a bit cheaper and it’s not bad looking either. The 125 class has started to make a bit of a comeback at long last. For…

Posted
by
The BMW R1200RT has been described as the world’s best touring bike. Owner Graham Thompson thinks it’s that and so much more. This is his report of their first year and 10,000 miles together. Two bikes share my garage – a BMW R1200RT SE and a Harley Fat Bob. I love them both but for…

2005 Yamaha FJR1300 Reader Review
Posted
by
Two years and 49,000 miles on an FJR1300 have convinced former Bemsee sidecar champion David Bexley that the Yamaha – with a few mods – is the best big tourer on the planet. I am not a rider who changes bikes very often because I am of the firm belief that when the unexpected happens I…

2009 Honda DN-01 Review
Posted
by
I guess most of you have seen pictures of the Honda DN-01 and regardless of your opinion about its appearance, you have to agree that it’s different. Personally, I was instantly attracted even though its futuristic styling looks to me like something out of a comic strip, rather than a machine that the mighty Honda had…

2008 Honda Fireblade review
Posted
by
Since 1992 the mighty Honda Fireblade has etched its name into the subconscious of many a bike rider and had countless racing successes around the world. For less than the price of a family hatchback us mere mortals can buy a bike that is very similar to the machine used by John McGuinness to…
