2011 Honda CBR250R Review
Posted
by
There’s a lot more to the all-new CBR250R than meets the eye. This latest model to wear Honda’s sporty CBR-R designation is built not in Japan or even Europe but in Thailand, and will also be produced in India. As well as being an entry level offering in most markets, the 250R has been…

2011 Honda CBR125R Review
Posted
by
It must be to the CBR125R’s credit that on an overcast day in southern Spain I frequently had to look closely to tell the 125cc model from its CBR250R sibling, and occasionally even from the much bigger, multicylinder CBR600F. Honda has done well in revitalising its smallest capacity sports bike with a fresh set…

2011 BMW K1600GT/K1600GTL Review
Posted
by
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…

2011 Suzuki GSX-R600 Review
Posted
by
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. The firm’s engineers have been their 2010 bike’s biggest…

The new ZX-10R is the first Japanese superbike to challenge the all-conquering BMWS1000RR. But will more power, torque and sophisticated electronics be enough?

2011 Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200 Review
Posted
by
It’s easy to understand Aprilia’s decision to start its big V-twin line with a Dorsoduro supermoto bike, rather than the Shiver roadster or a dual-purpose model that might have seemed a more obvious choice. The Noale firm wants to reinforce its sporty image without stamping on the toes of the new Tuono V4 or sister…

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…
