USED ICON: Ducati 916SPS
Posted
by
If you’re into rare and exotic sports bikes, Ducati’s 916SPS takes some topping. Bruce Wilson tells us what we need to know: There are some things in life that need zero introduction, such as the Great Wall of China, Big Ben, and chief of them all, Ducati’s 916. It is a motorcycle that has done for…

RIDDEN: Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS
Posted
by
A hooligan at heart, the latest Speed Triple 1200 RS comes brimmed with brains to help you make the most of its brawn… Who better to test it? Our own Bruce Wilson… It’s three decades since Triumph rewrote the rulebook and created the performance naked sector with their T309 Speed Triple. Since then, the iterations have…

RIDDEN: Indian Baggers
Posted
by
Indian’s a name that needs no introduction to the heavyweight cruiser scene, but its new fleet of Chieftain baggers is certainly worthy of some noise. Dave Manning tells us what we need to know… While circuit racing has been very distant from the world of laid-back, American-style cruiser motorcycles, there has been something of a tidal…

TESTED: Yamaha Tenere 700 & 700 Rally
Posted
by
Brimmed with mechanical upgrades, fresh electronics and a sharper, more refined ride, the 2025 Ténéré isn’t just more capable… it’s more committed than ever to ruling the off-road world. Bruce Wilson got to grips with it… Covered in dirt, breathing like an asthmatic shoplifter and slowly roasting under a scorching sun, I needed no convincing…

TORQUING POINT: Always wear protection

by
The North West 200 course is a treat to ride, but so are the roads around it… Dave Manning reports: Having never witnessed any kind of road racing on the eastern side of the Irish Sea, I was keen to get my first experience of the North West 200, despite over the last couple of…

YAMAHA XZR900 Thunderbolt
Posted
by
Another concept supersport machine, but at the opposite end of the scale from the BMW we talked about yesterday on a number of fronts. Where the BMW Concept RR was a primped-up full-factory project, this is a labour of love, handbuilt over a couple of years by an artisan British custom bike builder, Marc Bell…

BMW Concept RR
Posted
by
To lovely Lake Como in northern Italy, where the annual Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este car and bike show takes place. BMW is one of the organisers of this high-end gig (apparently it makes Goodwood look like the BMF show) and always shows off a concept car and bike or two. This year was the turn…

KOVE 800 X Rally 250
Posted
by
Smart-looking Chinese bikes are becoming like London buses – lots of them appear all the time, and they’re pretty cheap and efficient. There is less chance of being stabbed on one, though. Probably. Alan Dowds tells us more… Anyway, here’s another one: the Kove 800 X Rally. It’s got an 800cc parallel twin engine which…
