2009 Honda CBF125 Review
Posted
by
Honda’s all-new CBF125 may not be as drop-dead gorgeous as Yamaha’s stunning YZF-125 or as sporty looking as its popular CBR125 stablemate, but it’s a whole lot more practical, quite a bit cheaper and it’s not bad looking either. The 125 class has started to make a bit of a comeback at long last. For…

2009 BMW R1200RT SE Reader Review
Posted
by
The BMW R1200RT has been described as the world’s best touring bike. Owner Graham Thompson thinks it’s that and so much more. This is his report of their first year and 10,000 miles together. Two bikes share my garage – a BMW R1200RT SE and a Harley Fat Bob. I love them both but for…

Posted
by
MCM freelance Bob Pickett took a Suzuki GSX650F for a 100-mile test ride and ended up buying it. He has now put 1000 winter miles on the clock and files the first of a series of reports we will be producing on life with the middleweight all-rounder. There can be no greater compliment than to…

Winter riding tips and advice
Posted
by
Riding a bike through winter can be pleasurable. I am not talking about negotiating deep snowdrifts or skating on black ice. When the conditions are that bad it is best to leave the bike tucked up in the garage, but on dry sunny days, winter riding can be enjoyed as long as both you and…

2005 Yamaha FJR1300 Reader Review
Posted
by
Two years and 49,000 miles on an FJR1300 have convinced former Bemsee sidecar champion David Bexley that the Yamaha – with a few mods – is the best big tourer on the planet. I am not a rider who changes bikes very often because I am of the firm belief that when the unexpected happens I…

2009 Honda DN-01 Review
Posted
by
I guess most of you have seen pictures of the Honda DN-01 and regardless of your opinion about its appearance, you have to agree that it’s different. Personally, I was instantly attracted even though its futuristic styling looks to me like something out of a comic strip, rather than a machine that the mighty Honda had…

2008 Honda Fireblade review
Posted
by
Since 1992 the mighty Honda Fireblade has etched its name into the subconscious of many a bike rider and had countless racing successes around the world. For less than the price of a family hatchback us mere mortals can buy a bike that is very similar to the machine used by John McGuinness to…

2008 KTM RC8 Review
Posted
by
The RC8 looks like the bastard offspring spawned by Max Headroom and Kryten from Red Dwarf after a hedonistic weekend – angular is an understatement. I’d been waiting eagerly to get my hands on the RC8, KTM’s first stab at a road going superbike, for a few months, so I was like an excited…
