26th March 2018

Kawasaki’s latest ZX-10R, the SE version, was recently launched in Spain and we had both Mike and BJ there! You can read Mike’s full launch report in issue 340 out soon, but for the moment, here’s BJ with a few points on the lecky suspended machine… It’s A ‘Hybrid’ Bike – No, not that kind…

29th November 2017

In the current issue of our awesome magazine OUT NOW (334, Dec ’17), we pit seven of the best middleweight nakeds against one another, to find out which is best! So, that would be Triumph’s new Street Triple RS, KTM’s 690 Duke R, Suzuki’s GSX-S750, Ducati’s Monster 821, Kawasaki’s Z900 ‘Performance Edition’, WK’s 650NK and…

7th November 2017

We didn’t think we’d get a brand new ZX-10R from Kawasaki, but they have surprised us with this update, featuring semi-active electronic Showa suspension, Marchesini wheels and an up/down shifter – nice! The current R is a great machine, and the RR is even better, but this SE version makes the purchase choice a bit…

7th November 2017

Does sir or madam prefer their touring supercharged? Yes? Lovely, in which case, does sir or madam prefer their supercharged touring with electronic suspenders, or without? Fret not, Kawasaki has you covered… While we’re a tiny bit disappointed that the next supercharged model from Team Green isn’t a small sportsbike, or naughty naked loon, at…

31st October 2017

Not usually our cup of tea, but one we’d happily sup with a nice cake or three, mostly because the word ‘wheelies’ spring to mind with the new Z900RS! Based on the latest Z900, the RS harks back to the 1970s, hence the styling, er, obviously, and the Z range from that period which were…

30th October 2017

Finally, we get an all new A2 sportsbike from Kawasaki – the new Ninja 400! And boy are we glad to see manufacturers start to take this class seriously once again – it can only get better! The heart of the new bike is where most of the interest lies we’d say, given that it…

6th October 2017

Yes indeed, Kawasaki have released pictures and details for the 2018 ZX-10RR, though a quick word of caution, the ‘new’ details are very light indeed… The only two updates are colours – the Showa canisters on the bottom fork leg are now silver rather than red, and the fork-top cap is now green, rather than…

2018 Kawasaki ZX-10R – New Colours – Plus More!

31st August 2017

Kawasaki have released images of the new colours some of their bikes will sport, come the new ‘season’, or, in normal speak, 2018… Some are subtle, some a tad more obvious, but all still feel very ‘Kawasaki’. The only bummer (we guess), is that this means that we won’t be getting a brand new ZX-10R…

31st July 2017

Yamaha’s new for 2017 YZF R6 is a cracking little beast, but while we wait for MV’s updated F3 675 to arrive on UK shores (and there are very few other ‘new’ S’sport bikes in dealers), what does it have in the way of competition? Right now, when talking brand-new, very little. So in the…

14th July 2017

If you watched Part 1 of our big SBOTY (SportsBike Of The Year) test on Bike World last week, you may be wondering why we glossed over the remaining bikes and concentrated on the top three? Wonder no longer, as here’s Part 2! In this we speak about the rest of the runners, including the…

11th July 2017

Some cracking snaps once again, this time covering last weekend’s Laguna Seca WSB round, by the man that is Kel… We weren’t sure what to expect from Laguna Seca, given Chaz Davies’ back-breaking crash at Misano when he was accidentally run over by Jonny Rea. Yet his performance in the US of A just three…

Ducati Supersport S Vs Rivals! Out Now!

16th June 2017

Ducati’s Supersport S has very few direct rivals, bar perhaps Honda’s ageing VFR800, seeing as this class of motorcycle is now all but defunct. Ducati believed that missing gap needed filling though, so came up with the perfectly formed Supersport and Supersport S… And, we’d say they are bang on correct because there used to…

24th February 2017

Following on from the MotoGP boys, the World Superbike circus has just finished its pre-season test program before the opening round next weekend. Although they did get a touch of dodgy weather, the sun did come out and shined down on the reigning champ, who finished the test ahead of Marco Melandri by 0.258s. Surprised?…
