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 [...]
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.

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!
