It still delivers brain-shredding acceleration when you open the taps, the chassis oozes feel in all conditions and its brakes are brutally powerful and packed with feel.

The most powerful and technologically advanced Speed Triple super-naked ever made

Yamaha’s new R9 mixes the friendly power delivery of an MT-09 with the sharp handling of a full-blown supersports weapon and a riding position that isn’t too extreme

A hell of a cheap ticket to ride

An injection of performance and character

Riding it will change your view of Chinese-made bikes

It’s a proper Ducati sportsbike, but one that doesn’t try and rip your face off

It’ll sell by the bucketload

All-new 890cc V-twin and a compact, energetic chassis knocks years off the Multistrada V2 S

The character and capability of the 660, with a more grown-up feel and stronger motor

Outstanding build quality. A very rare and unusual motorcycle here in the UK. People of all ages want to know about it. Super smooth v-twin performance. The most comfortable bike I have ever ridden or owned. Handles remarkably well, both at slow speed and cornering. Makes me smile every time I...

I just love the thing, it's quirkiness, it's standing out from the crowdness... the overall package is simply brilliant in my opinion. In town and slow traffic it's far from perfect but get on any open road and it thanks you with a beautiful 'at last, I can breathe and express myself'.
