2003 Harley Davidson 883 Sportster 100th Anniversary Used Review
Posted
by
9387 miles, up for £3195 First impressions: Although I’m not that much of a Harley fan, I can see the all-shine, no grime attraction. Harley-Davidson have been knocking out bikes for over 100 years now, so they must be doing something right. So, how did they celebrate 100 years in the business? Well, they…

Posted
by
4472 miles, up for £4695 First impressions: Before the flashy Racing version of the Tuono appeared, the RSVR version had all the weapons fitted.

2005 Suzuki GSX-R600 K5 Used Review
Posted
by
4641 miles, up for £4495 First impressions: I’ve always had a soft spot for those original GSX-Rs, so it’s no wonder this gem caught my eye with its slabby-inspired paintjob. Five-year-old Gixxers don’t usually look this good. This one is totally stock, right down to the special standard can and wavy look discs this…

2004 Kawasaki ZRX1200R Used Review
Posted
by
8474 miles, up for £3795 First impressions: The colour kind of kills it in my opinion; it isn’t very Eddie Lawson is it? That said, not everyone wants a green bike. Some sensible extras like a rack and the crash bars indicate the previous owner was maybe a steady Eddie. The silencer is actually…
