BUYING A USED Kawasaki ZZR1400
Posted
by
Jon Urry tells us what we need to know… If you want serious performance, you need a ZZR… There is an old adage that goes, ‘There is no replacement for displacement’ – a statement that rings very true when it comes to Kawasaki’s mind-bending hyperbike, the ZZR1400. Although when the supercharged H2 SX was launched…

TORQUING POINT: Single-Sided Rear Swingarms
Posted
by
An unravelling from Alan Dowds… Ever seen a red squirrel? Unless you live in the right part of Scotland, it’s unlikely; the ginger rodents have been outcompeted by their dull sciuridaen relatives from North America, the eastern grey squirrel. And we all prefer the tufty-eared red variant over the grey, don’t we? Why is that?…

RIDDEN: Keeway V302C
Posted
by
Andy Bell brings us his verdict on the lightweight cruiser: If you’re into your cruisers and want a lightweight one at that, the Keeway V302C could be right up your street. What is it? With its low stance, wide bars and feet forward riding position this bike certainly falls well into the cruiser class. Styling…

RIDDEN: Royal Enfield Super Meteor
Posted
by
The Super Meteor is, in Enfield’s own words, one of their flagship models, featuring upside-down Showa suspension, an LED headlight and a Tripper navigation system as standard. The 648cc parallel twin is lifted from the Interceptor/Continental models, but with revised mapping to give a wider spread of torque with 80 per cent available at just…

Heading from Shropshire over to Cardigan Bay, this stunning 84-mile joyride is sure to put a smile on your face. Dave Manning reveals all… The ride in brief: The route covers roads great and small. This is not a fast ride; the roads can be busy, and they are best enjoyed at a leisurely pace.…

RIDDEN: Yamaha NMAX 125
Posted
by
It’s not Bruce’s usual style of ride, but he’s whizzed around Barcelona on the NMAX. Here’s what you need to know… Yamaha’s sold nearly 400,000 NMAXs globally in 2024, and it’s likely to prove even more popular next year after a comprehensive overhaul. Here’s our take on the next-generation NMAX 125 It’s time to be…

BMW: Concept & updates
Posted
by
BMW’s ‘F’ range has sometimes been overlooked in the past, which is a shame. The Bavarian bike-mongers was ploughing a lonely furrow in the parallel-twin world nearly 20 years ago with the original F800 models, and now everyone’s in on (arguably) the dullest of the two-cylinder layouts. It must be fuming. But not too much,…

CFMOTO: V4 Engine
Posted
by
Here’s one from the left field: Chinese budget bike maker released imagery of an all-new V-four superbike-spec engine at the Milan Show – and just about no facts about it. Dubbed the V.04, it’s a 999cc 90° V-4, making around 210bhp, and will, according to the firm, be ‘competition ready’ which, we assume, means a…

DUCATI: Panigale and SF V2
Posted
by
Last issue we got our first sight of the new Ducati V2 engine – an 890cc DOHC non-desmo 90° V-twin, making 115 or 120bhp, but with a new lighter construction, tipping the proverbial scales at 54.5kg. We pondered whether such a unit would be phat enough (he means powerful enough – plain English Ed) for…

Posted
by
It’s fair to say that both of Honda’s latest 750 twins – the XL750 Transalp and CB750 Hornet – weren’t crying out for any updates… Alan Dowds tells us what we need to know… Launched less than two years ago, the naked roadster and upper-middleweight adventure machines have wowed customers with their solid performance, high…
