2011 Triumph Tiger 800XC Review
Posted
by
While the stock Tiger 800 is an incredibly accomplished machine for predominately on-road use, the 800 XC is its bigger, beefier brother. Both Tigers share the same engine and frame, but the XC is your choice if you want a convincing dual-purpose middleweight adventure bike. It’s fitted with chunky 45mm USD forks, barkbusting handguards, spoked…

2011 Triumph Tiger 800 Review
Posted
by
Eight hundred seems to be the magic number amongst bike manufacturers nowadays. With pretty much everyone producing a middleweight machine that is claimed to do everything bar make the tea, just how many of this currentwave of mid-capacity, do-itall bikes are real all-rounders? Is it even fair to ask so much from an individual machine?…

Bike Test: Yamaha XV535 Virago
Posted
by
Bob Pickett reports on Yamaha’s hugely successful mid-size cruiser. Perhaps the greatest tribute to a bike is that it remains in production alongside the bike that was meant to be its replacement.

Trail riding on endless miles of flowing tracks deep in the mountains with the sun warm on your back takes some beating.

2010 BMW F650GS Review
Posted
by
This bike’s got an 800cc engine. Nobody, even at BMW, knows why it’s called an F650. Similarly, no one seems to know why the F800GS – the more off-roady of the two 800cc GS bikes – gets the more powerful engine (more power is generally a liability off-road) while the roadster gets the restricted motor.…

2010 MV Agusta F4 Review
Posted
by
MV’s F4 has always been stylish and fast, but it hasn’t always had the refinement to match. So, while the most obvious result of the new F4’s comprehensive revamp is a sharper, more angular look, the other, more important changes have a very definite aim.
