3rd August 2021

Legendary Paris-Dakar model name returns on RS660-powered middleweight adventure weapon The original Tuareg is, of course, the doughty breed of North African Berbers, who carve out a living in the perilously harsh conditions of the Sahara desert.

4th November 2018

WHILE we were quite rightly amazed by the Ducati Panigale V4S launched earlier this year, we did quibble a bit at the capacity increase. In a litre bike test, the V4 had a load more power, partly because it has a 1,103cc motor. How long before someone else joined them? Less than a year in…
