Perfect Rides

11th October 2010

Sometimes the planets align and you get the rarest of things – a perfect ride. This happened to me yesterday when my lovely old Ducati 900SS carried me on a little blast over Salisbury Plain to Stonehenge, and back again with an aural assault of 2-valve open-caned thunder.

8th October 2010

Due to the sheer size of the man, it took a fairly burly collection of humans to drag Moby kicking and screaming into the new century and to convince him to set up a Facebook page. But the march of progress is nearly as relentless and Alastair’s need for a Mucky Ron’s three times a…

7th October 2010

Having launched the S 1000 RR, BMW are putting sportsbikes on the back burner in 2011. So the German firm’s new models will revolve around its 1649cc six-cylinder motor that will have the Honda Goldwing shaking in its considerable boots.

MV Agusta’s New F3 Triple

7th October 2010

Three cheers for Harley-Davidson for investing mega-bucks in MV Agusta, allowing them to develop its new F3 inline triple sportsbike – then chucking the towel in before it could even reap its rewards. New (and old) owner Claudio Castiglioni, surely can’t believe his luck.

Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200 Breaks Cover

7th October 2010

A little disappointedly, we’re likely to see the new Aprilia Dorsodura 1200 before we get a V4 version of the Tuono. We shouldn’t be too upset, however, because the bigger Dorsodura promises to be a lot more bonkers than its baby brother.

New KTM 125 Duke

7th October 2010

Some tasty new models and revamped old ones are due to roll out of KTM’s Mattighofen factory next year, all of them getting our thumbs up. While the track-only RC8 gets out juices flowing, and the SM T gets ABS, it’s the new 125 Duke that is the most important bike of the lot, not…

7th October 2010

Amidst a rash of classics and cruisers, one bike stands out from Triumph’s 2011 pack – the new Speed Triple. Triumph’s most iconic bike gets a massive overhaul to put it right back in the running to be the Emperor with no clothes. With Europe and Japan coming up with ever more radical streetfighters, Triumph…

7th October 2010

After being given an almighty kicking in 2010, 2011 certainly looks a little brighter for Japan’s big four. The leader of next year’s pack is, somewhat surprisingly, Kawasaki. The drip feed of information on the new ZX-10R has now turned into a torrent, with Kawasaki releasing the final spec on what it hopes will be a…

2011 Ducatis Emerge

7th October 2010

We’ll have to wait until the Milan show to see the really exciting stuff (mainly the firm’s new cruiser – the Diavel), but Ducati’s offering at Intermot certainly gets our thumbs up. As a starter, this is all very tasty indeed.

Moby’s Merrygoround

30th September 2010

The strangest thing happened the other day – I actually sold one of my bikes. Having seven lying around the place seemed a little excessive, and so I moved my GSX-R750 Slabside donor bike onto someone else who needed it more – FB reader Nigel Harte, who is building himself a very nice Slabby.

21st September 2010

You’ll probably already be aware that the Red Arrows are riding from Land’s End to John O’Groats at the end of the month, in aid of a host of worthy causes. They’re being a bit mincey and taking four days just to go one way (we did it twice in 30 hours), but in their…

21st September 2010

Check out this stunning new Fireblade, sporting a rather old-skool Urban Tiger paintjob. It’s been created by paint-wizards Altamura Concepts, in response to the owner’s massive disappointment at the paintjob he’d had done elsewhere.

‘Sportsbike Legends’ – Limited numbers left

16th September 2010

Suzuki redefined the sportsbike market in 1985 with the release of their ‘Slabside’ GSX-R750. Twenty-five years later BMW have achieved the same incredible feat of ripping up the rule book and defining a new chapter for the evolution of the sportsbike.

Charlie’s ZXR400, Another One

12th September 2010

Just as I think I am making good progress with my ZXR400 I find the next project come round the corner. About a month ago my other half passed her test and we went out and sourced a bike. This was pretty tricky, Shay is not the tallest of lasses and thus cannot ride either…
