2011 Triumph Daytona 675R Review
Posted
by
It’s one of the oldest and most popular tuning tricks in the book: adding uprated suspension, brakes and carbon fibre parts to create a higher specification version of an existing model. Aprilia and Ducati regularly use Öhlins and Brembo to add performance and glamour to their carbon-clad supersports flagships. Triumph themselves already have an…

2011 Honda CBR600F Review
Posted
by
The CBR600F is back. But is the new bike still as versatile and good value as the original affordable all-rounder? Talk about good timing. A few days before I arrived in Seville for the launch of the new CBR600F, the Spanish government reduced their national speed limit in order to save fuel and expense.…

2011 Honda CBR250R Review
Posted
by
There’s a lot more to the all-new CBR250R than meets the eye. This latest model to wear Honda’s sporty CBR-R designation is built not in Japan or even Europe but in Thailand, and will also be produced in India. As well as being an entry level offering in most markets, the 250R has been…

2011 BMW K1600GT/K1600GTL Review
Posted
by
While there’s nothing new about inline sixes, BMW’s latest offering of the configuration in their K1600GT supersports tourer has taken the design to all-new heights. Lighter, smaller and more powerful than any production six-cylinder motorcycle engine seen before, the 1649cc, 160bhp motor holds the key to the smoothest of power deliveries and, inturn, one…

Does the new lighter and mightier GSX-R600 get top marks in the ubercompetitive 600cc supersports class? There are two ways to build a new year model: start from scratch, or evolve what you’ve already got. Suzuki has opted for the latter option for their 2011 GSX-r600. The firm’s engineers have been their 2010 bike’s biggest…

The new ZX-10R is the first Japanese superbike to challenge the all-conquering BMWS1000RR. But will more power, torque and sophisticated electronics be enough?

2011 Triumph Tiger 800XC Review
Posted
by
While the stock Tiger 800 is an incredibly accomplished machine for predominately on-road use, the 800 XC is its bigger, beefier brother. Both Tigers share the same engine and frame, but the XC is your choice if you want a convincing dual-purpose middleweight adventure bike. It’s fitted with chunky 45mm USD forks, barkbusting handguards, spoked…

2011 Triumph Tiger 800 Review
Posted
by
Eight hundred seems to be the magic number amongst bike manufacturers nowadays. With pretty much everyone producing a middleweight machine that is claimed to do everything bar make the tea, just how many of this currentwave of mid-capacity, do-itall bikes are real all-rounders? Is it even fair to ask so much from an individual machine?…

Bike Test: Yamaha XV535 Virago
Posted
by
Bob Pickett reports on Yamaha’s hugely successful mid-size cruiser. Perhaps the greatest tribute to a bike is that it remains in production alongside the bike that was meant to be its replacement. This is the story of the XV535 Virago; the rest of the range was scrapped and replaced by the unfortunately named ‘Dragstar’ range…
