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…

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…

2014 Harley-Davidson FLHTK Ultra Limited review
Posted
by
£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? With the new 2014 Project Rushmore Touring bikes they are, but don’t worry – they’re still Harleys through and through. With feedback from their customers and…

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…

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…

Zontes Monster 125
Posted
by
£1499 www.zontes.co.uk The Monster is pretty similar to the Panther but has a roomier riding position, a higher seat and pegs placed further forward and lower down. A better option for the taller rider. Twist & Go issue reviewed: N/A Tech Spec Engine: 125cc Four-stroke Gearbox: Geared Licence required: A1 Claimed power: 12bhp Fuel…
