2014 Royal Enfield Continental GT review
Posted
by
£5200 OTR | 535cc 4 stroke single | 29.1bhp |44Nm @ 4000rpm Lying flat on the tank of this retro-styled bike, throttle held at the stop and with the roar of 44 identical red machines around me, I can’t stop grinning, but despite this being a modern bike, it’s the sixties that put me…

TCX X-Street Waterproof boots
Posted
by
Tested by: Bruce Wilson, road tester Price: £119.99 I got these boots just in time for my first trip out to the States on a cruiser launch and was pleasantly surprised at just how sturdily they cupped my ankle. Until you actually try them on, you can’t appreciate how well supported these boots are, all the…

Posted
by
From £9499 | 140bhp@10,000rpm | 82lb-ft@7300rpm | liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder Described as ‘the most radical supernaked’ bike, Kawasaki’s 2014 Z1000 is an evolution of the machine first launched in 2004, and last updated in 2010. Aggressive styling and performance follow the Japanese company’s ‘Sugomi’ philosophy, with the tweaks, nips and tucks of the 2014…

£21,395| 1690cc 4 stroke oil and water-cooled twin | 102lb-ft @ 3750rpm Touch screen displays, LED headlights and oil/water-cooled engines… These aren’t the things of Harley-Davidson are they?

2014 Kawasaki Z1000SX Review
Posted
by
Subdeck: £9849 | 1043cc 4cylinder | 140bhp | 82lb-ft The traditional sports-tourer class is supposed to be in decline, as increasing numbers of riders decide that versatility in a motorbike doesn’t mean just sports and touring, but crossing rivers and trekking up mountain trails too. Presumably nobody told Kawasaki, whose Z1000SX has been a…

How to buy a Yamaha TZR250 2MA (1986-1991)
Posted
by
The iconic race-bred 250 two-stroke that beats the competition on real-world roads. The mid 80s was the last great era when new two stroke motorcycles appeared with gusto. Yamaha had been busy tinkering with their RD350YPVS but needed a bike to compete in the quarter litre sector. The TZR250 lined up against Kawasaki’s all…

A dog crashed my motorcycle
Posted
by
Q. I was riding along my local high street when a Chihuahua dog (yes the really small type) called Twinkle jumped out of her owner’s handbag and ran straight out in front of me, causing me to swerve, crash into a massive pile of rubbish outside the local kebab shop and fall off. Not my…

Rieju RS2 125 Pro
Posted
by
Razzing around on a 125 is still great fun, no matter how old you are and it reminded me of just how much fun and freedom two wheels gave me as a teenager. Is it me or are our young bikers spoilt for choice these days? When I was on ‘L’ plates at the…

Derbi Mulhacén Café 125
Posted
by
Derbi have done a good job at shrinking their 659cc machine. The bike looks great with deep black paint and those cheeky go faster stripes which give it a distinctive style, it’s nice to see something retro in the overcrowded race rep filled learner legal category. The Mulhacén may only be a four-stroke 125 but…
