    2011 MV Agusta F3 Breaks Cover

    MV Agusta has released images and first details of the new inline-triple 675 engined F3. Apparently it’s a “new work of art on wheels is arriving that will upset the balance of power”. We reckon it’s more likely to find itself battling the spookily similar Triumph Daytona 675 – about to be further strengthened by…

    Aprilia RSV4 Factory A-PRC SE – Launch Update

    I’ve now finished caning the new RSV4 A-PRC SE around Jerez – and let’s just say I’m mighty impressed. The already track-focused RSV4 Factory gets even more gadgetry with traction control, launch control, anti-wheelie and a nifty quickshifter.

    Aprilia RSV4 Factory A-PRC SE Launch

    Hello everyone, I’m out at Jerez today testing the new RSV4 Factory A-PRC Special Edition. It should be mint, with its full traction control, adjustable wheelie control and ‘racing launch control’.

    Charlie’s No Budget Cup

    Within team “Fast Bikes” I like to make myself as useful as possible. By day I run the commercial side of the magazine, by night and weekends I run my own staff and project bikes learning all I can about motorcycles, both by riding and building them.

    A Travelling Salesman

    When I passed my test back in early March I was faced with the possibility of a six week wait before my staff bike GSX650F was available – an eternity when you are as keen as mustard! I couldn’t wait that long and after a few days scouring the classifieds and doing my homework on suitable…

    Perfect Rides

    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.

    Sit On Our Face(book)

    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…

    MV Agusta’s New F3 Triple

    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.
