2011 Kawasaki Z1000SX Review
Posted
by
The new Z1000SX shows that it’s possible to create two distinct models almost for the price of one. The big Kawasaki’s engine, frame, swingarm, brakes and most other bits are taken straight from the naked Z1000 that was launched a year ago. Adding a nicely styled fairing, bigger petrol tank and a splash of lime…

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…

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. This is the story of the XV535 Virago; the rest of the range was scrapped and replaced by the unfortunately named ‘Dragstar’ range…

2010 BMW R1200RT review
Posted
by
To read about the updated engine, click here The Adventure is updated with the same twin-cam motor as the standard GS. The radial-valve engine’s additional torque is arguably even more useful with that extra weight to shift – at 223kg dry, it’s 20kg heavier than the standard GS, even before you top up its 33-litre tank.…

You wouldn’t expect BMW to change the R1200GS very much. After all, the big dual-purpose boxer makes up more than half the firm’s motorcycle production, and almost 200,000 of the things have been sold since its arrival in 2004.When a bike is that popular, you’d be crazy to mess with it. But BMWdoesn’t like standing…

2010 Ducati Hypermotard 1100 EVO review
Posted
by
The Hypermotard has never been the most practical of bikes, with its exposed riding position, tiny tank, tall seat, and unashamed focus on style and fun. But with the entrylevel Hypermotard 796 having recently arrived to give a more down to earth option, Ducati couldn’t resist moving the Hyper family in the other direction, with…
