Honda Activa
Here’s a fascinating fact for you; out of the 17 million or so two-wheelers manufactured worldwide each year, about 12 million are scooters under 125cc. Most are made in Asia and used by ordinary people as their only means of transport. Honda make this...
Gilera CX125
Sometimes, small is beautiful, as the Gilera CX125 demonstrated many years ago. Single sided swingarm, hub-centre steering, fully enclosed race style bodywork – the Gilera had a specification that out-posed a Bimota, at a fraction of the price.Although...
BMW K1200S
The BMW K1200S is perhaps the most significant new model from the German factory in the last 20 years. Four cylinders, electronic suspension adjustment, 180mph performance – this is the new territory for BMW. Can they cut it in the white-hot sportbike...
BMW Luftmeister K1
The BMW KI isn’t perhaps everyone’s idea of the ideal turbocharged sports machine, but there’s no denying that its weight and aerodynamic bodywork should keep things reasonably stable. Then again, anyone who dials in maximum boost and tries to extract a...
BMW R1100S
The R1100S is BMW’s most sporty machine, with a 97bhp twin cylinder Boxer motor, underseat exhausts and – for a BMW rather good looking bodywork too. But against a Ducati, MV Agusta, or even a Yamaha R6, the R1100S still has a little bit of an image...
BMW R1150GS Adventure
BMW’s R1150GS is one of the most popular big trailie bikes on the market, combining real world ability with excellent re-sale values, to please many long distance, high mileage riders. Now there’s an Adventure option, for those brave enough to tackle some...
BMW R1150R
BMW have always made very practical and reliable motorcycles. They have also been tarred with the epitaph ’boring’, and perhaps as a result have tried to change their image. You may not like BMW’s but you do have to respect their bikes’ individuality and...
BMW R1150RT
Faith in it’s own product: that’s the message from BMW which chose to set a far tougher test of its new 2001 machines than that imposed by the typical bike launch. And as far as the new R1150RT is concerned, the faith is justified. BMW gathered the UK...
BMW R1200C
Cruisers are bikes that evoke a strong reaction; most people either love ’em, or would gladly turn a blowtorch upon their chromium plated knick-knacks.
Boss Hoss 350
The Boss Hoss V8 bike has been around for 15 years now, with a series of tweaks and improvements carried out to make this monster of a motorcycle that bit easier to ride. But underneath it all, the Boss Hoss remains a truly unique blend of American muscle...
Cagiva C593
For a brief moment in the early 1990’s, it looked like Italian company Cagiva was about to put one over the Japanese in the frenzied world of 500cc Grand Prix, as first Eddie Lawson, then John Kocinski won a few races on the firecracker red Italian bike....
CCM 604
How do road racers learn to go faster round corners, in winter? Mostly, they go off-road. Y’see, there’s no substitute for learning how to control a motorcycle at the ragged edge, than to grab hold of a big 600cc, four stroke enduro machine, then head for...
