    Shoei: NXR 
Bradley TC-1

    Shoei’s midrange helmet is a thing of beauty, especially in these Bradders colours. The lid uses its own design shell, so it’s not borrowed from anything else in the range. It uses a two-liner absorption system to keep your noggin safe in an impact, is quiet thanks to hours spent in the wind tunnel to…

    KTM: Rev Clock

    The latest Powerwear catalogue from KTM came through the post the other day (yeah – post, remember that?!), and it’s always amusing to see what the Austrians have been up to while out on the schnapps. What caught our eye was the Rev Clock, an item that would look perfect up on a workshop wall…

    The Greatest Roads In Britain Part 3 – With Dunlop

    Part 3 of our Greatest Roads series, in association with Dunlop, is here! This time it’s Duke’s Pass on the A821 in Stirlingshire… Most decent biking roads are fabled routes etched into the minds of most motorcyclists.

    2017 Ducati Supersport

    by

    Ducati is re-entering the not-quite-mental fray with the release of a new SuperSport bike. This was the machine that sat in a box during World Ducati Week at Misano, so there’s a fair chance that some of you will have seen it already. And in another way, we think that we’ve seen it already as…

    2017 Honda Fireblade SP2

    Honda is returning to the sports sector with a vengeance. You’ll have read about the SP1, with its butch, new motor, electronic Ohlins suspension, 14 kilo weight loss and fresh new looks in the website (if not, do it!), and now the Honda SP2 has also been unveiled, to much cooing from us! Honda is…

We all know how ridable the current bike is – just look at the bike’s TT results – and with a slashing of weight and an upping of power the bike…

  • 2017 Suzuki GSX-S750

    2017 Suzuki GSX-S750

    On the back of the success of the GSX-S1000, Suzuki is going to try to repeat the trick but using the Gixer 750 motor to form the GSX-S750. We’re hoping this will be no repeat of the korma-mild GSR750, and a rather hoping it’ll be a ‘little’ belter. Again, harking back to 2005 (the same…

    2017 Suzuki GSX-R1000 and GSX-R1000R

    We’ve finally got the nuts and bolts behind the new GSX-R1000 – and the new GSX-R1000R. Yes, there are two new bikes to behold from the Intermot show in Cologne. Let’s hope that they were worth the wait – given the spec list, we think they will be… The top line figures are 202bhp at the…

    2017 Aprilia RSV4 RF & Tuono 1100 Factory!

    Aprilia are first to show their wares this year, with updates to the flagship RSV4 RF and Tuono 1100 Factory machines. The list of updates to both is fairly comprehensive, although from the outside it just seems as though a larger exhaust has been wanged on both – bloody Euro4! Both bikes benefit from identical…

    Life of a racer… Blog 9!

    We’re coming into the closing stages of the season now, and it’s about time I pulled my finger out. Yeah, we got points two rounds on the trot but with 2017 starting to loom over us, we need some REALLY good results before the final chequered flag drops at Brands Hatch in October. So how…

    The life of a racer… Blog 8!

    Past the halfway point in the season, and it’s really time to pull the finger out now. We had a decent time at Thruxton onboard the Freeman Harris Solicitors Ducati 899, but in order to keep that momentum up, we need to keep on racking in that feeling. So after a little morning test to…
