Rev’It Air Jacket review
Posted
by
Reviewed by: Bruce Wilson RRP: £119.99 I really rate this jacket. To be honest, I don’t get to wear it that much in the UK, but on the odd occasion when the weather perks up, there’s nothing better for keeping you cool, comfortable and feeling safe. I’ve probably used it more off- road than on Tarmac,…

2011 Suzuki GSX-R750 L1 review
Posted
by
Just four bends into my third session aboard this latest version of Suzuki’s legendary three quarter- litre rocketship, and already my spirits are soaring and my doubts have been blown away.

Ducati’s new Diavel is a sports bike in muscle cruiser clothing It’s a sunny saturday afternoon in southern spain, and the famously twisty A-397 from Ronda to the coast is teeming with sports bikes.

While there’s nothing new about inline sixes, BMW’s latest offering of the configuration in their K1600GT supersports tourer has taken the design to all-new heights. Lighter, smaller and more powerful than any production six-cylinder motorcycle engine seen before, the 1649cc, 160bhp motor holds the key to the smoothest of power deliveries and, inturn, one…

Does the new lighter and mightier GSX-R600 get top marks in the ubercompetitive 600cc supersports class? There are two ways to build a new year model: start from scratch, or evolve what you’ve already got. Suzuki has opted for the latter option for their 2011 GSX-r600.
