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.…

2010 BMW R1200GS review
Posted
by
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…

2010 Triumph Sprint GT
Posted

Sports-tourers beware: Triumph’s new Sprint GT is set to be one of the best value big tourers out there TRIUMPH’S brief was simple: take an existing sports-touring Sprint ST and make it more practical, pillion friendly, comfortable and capable of carrying more luggage over long distances. The new Sprint GT (Grand Tourer) is the…

2010 DUCATI MONSTER 796
Posted
by
Great midrange grunt, handling and style: the new Monster is a wallet-friendly middleweight The dreaded Icelandic volcano ash cloud unfortunately disrupted Ducati’s original Monster 796 launch, preventing much of the UK press from getting over to Bologna in Italy in recent weeks. As I waited with everything crossed at the airport for the rearranged…

2010 Yamaha WR250R Review
Posted
by
Trail riding on endless miles of flowing tracks deep in the mountains with the sun warm on your back takes some beating. MCM travels to southern Spain to tackle its terrain aboard Yamaha’s small-boreWR250R trail bikes… Soaking in a hot-tub, surrounded by mountains and sipping a ice-cold beer, I’d just covered 120 kilometres of…

Triumph Speed Four Used Bike Buying Guide
Posted
by
Underrated, overlooked but a brilliant bargain, Triumph’s Speed Four makes magnificent sense in these cash-strapped times Triumph’s model range has always been a little schizophrenic. On one hand they’ve produced unique machines that have been hard to pigeonhole alongside any Japanese, European or American equivalent, while at other times they’ve taken the more powerful…

2010 Suzuki DL650 V-Strom Review
Posted
by
Compared to Kawasaki’s Versys, and BMW’s F650GS, the Suzuki is the least sporty of the three bikes, despite having an alloy frame and sharing its water-cooled, fuel injected V-twin engine with the SV650 that dominates mini-twins racing. Styled like an adventure bike, the V-Strom is really a middleweight tourer. Which means it’s comfy for one…

2010 Kawasaki Versys 650 Review
Posted
by
The Versys stands tall, like an adventure bike. It’s easy to forget that it shares most of its chassis with Kawasaki’sER-6 sportster including the 17-inch wheels on road tyres (although the standard fit Dunlop Sportmaxs are horrible in the wet – fit some Roadsmarts at the earliest opportunity). Like the Suzuki DL650 V-Strom it’s also…
