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. The GSX-R750 L1’s tyres aren’t even back up to full temperature, yet the bike has just sliced through the Spanish Monteblanco circuit’s second-gear chicane…

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…

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.
