Suzuki Biplane Concept
The Suzuki Biplane motorcycle that was on display at the Tokyo Auto Show was inspired design-wise by the classic Wright Brothers biplane, but I personally think it looks more like that red mean machine that Akira rode in the groundbreaking anime by Katsuhiro Otomo. Will there be secret wings hidden inside this beast? Probably not, [...]

Ducati Sport 1000S
Whatever you think of the new wave of retro motorcycles-faux classics to lure fashion-conscious new bikers or genuine machines with credibility and a direct line to the past-you can’t ignore ‘em.
And certainly nobody seemed able to ignore the Ducati Sport 1000S for the week it was in my sticky mitts. It’s one of those bikes [...]
2009 Yamaha YZ85
The ideal choice for the next generation of champions.
The 2009 Yamaha YZ85 may be the smallets member of the YZ family, but it’s a big-time competitor. It’s got the power to win with a liquid-cooled, 85cc engine, 6-speed gearbox, and adjustable suspension up front and out back. This is one mighty mini.
The mini racer of [...]
Honda testing ABS brakes on CBR600RR
Many motorcycles in today’s market feature anti-lock brakes, including models from Honda like the Interceptor and Silverwing scooters. Now, though, the red-winged manufacturer of motorcycles has announced a new system which completely removes the rider’s direct connection with the front and rear brakes. Instead of a cable connection, the system uses brake-by-wire technology and allows [...]

RSV1000 road test
Road testing any superbike on the salty, slippery and usually damp mid-winter British roads is always a somewhat challenging experience, and to say I had reasonable weather whilst with the Aprilia is probably and understatement! I think I had 1 day where the roads were actually clear of salt, that’s only because it rained heavily [...]
