2010 Yamaha WR250R Review
Posted
by
Trail riding on endless miles of flowing tracks deep in the mountains with the sun warm on your back takes some beating. MCM travels to southern Spain to tackle its terrain aboard Yamaha’s small-boreWR250R trail bikes… Soaking in a hot-tub, surrounded by mountains and sipping a ice-cold beer, I’d just covered 120 kilometres of…

2010 BMW F650GS Review
Posted
by
This bike’s got an 800cc engine. Nobody, even at BMW, knows why it’s called an F650. Similarly, no one seems to know why the F800GS – the more off-roady of the two 800cc GS bikes – gets the more powerful engine (more power is generally a liability off-road) while the roadster gets the restricted motor.…

2010 MV Agusta F4 Review
Posted
by
MV’s F4 has always been stylish and fast, but it hasn’t always had the refinement to match. So, while the most obvious result of the new F4’s comprehensive revamp is a sharper, more angular look, the other, more important changes have a very definite aim. Like MV’s recently updated naked Brutales, the latest F4 has…

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.

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 BMW R1200RT SE Reader Review
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…
