    With all the players now running V4s most were at or about the same level. Chassis, tyres and riders made the significant differences… well, until Honda fired up their 1992 NSR. Firing all four pots within 70 degrees of each other provided smoother torque and delivered the power to the tyre more effectively.  Cagiva, Suzuki…

    Big sports bike thrills for relatively small money, VJMC’s Steve Cooper reports… The sports bikes scene isn’t what it once was here in the UK but there’s still enough of a following for the various 600, 750 and 1000cc missiles that were once so dominant on Britain’s roads. Trends come and go, even on high-end…

    Alan Dowds enlightens us… My Dad, Jim Dowds, started his working life as a car mechanic, though by the time I came along, he had moved on to work at the IBM computer factory in Greenock. Amazingly, back in the 1960s, computers had a lot of mechanical parts in them – solenoids, relays and the…

    Dean Ellison shares his wisdom… While it could be argued that buying a readily built track bike is a great route to go down, it’s not without its pitfalls. It is a bit of a lottery because quite often you’re buying on faith, and the hope that the bike you’re purchasing is what the seller…

    Bikes with auto gearboxes seem to be the ‘in thing’ right now, with recent additions to the market coming from BMW, KTM, Honda and, now, Yamaha. John McAvoy gave the latter brand’s new, fancy Y-AMT system a spin to see whether it’s the gamechanger we’re looking for.  This isn’t the first time that Yamaha have…

    Released just before the EICMA show; the new mid-power Ducati V2 engine for the foreseeable future.  The big news is the firm’s dropped the desmodromic valves, and is using common old coil springs for its valve control. What next – hairpin springs?  Anyway, what we lose in unique engine tech, we regain in easier servicing,…

    MT-07  Yamaha’s MT-07 sits at the heart of a tasty middleweight range: Its engine and basic chassis layout forms the basis for the R7, XSR700, Tracer 700 and Ténéré models. And for 2025, the tuning-fork firm has given the neat roadster a chassis and tech upgrade, as well as the Y-AMT automatic transmission option. There’s…

    It’s often overlooked for its fancier retro sister, the Z900 RS, but Kawasaki’s Z900 is a big hit with its owners, and sits nicely inbetween the mental supercharged Z H2 and the smaller Z650 twin naked. It’s been overlooked a bit by Kawasaki too arguably: But no longer. For 2025, the 124bhp inline-four 948cc motor…

    Tiger, Speed Twin and Trident news for 2025… Tiger Sport 800 Déjà vu? Well, yes – the Hinckley firm sold a Tiger 800 model between 2010-2019, but it’s keen to stress this new machine has nothing to do with the old ‘un. In fact, it’s basically a grown-up’s version of the firm’s very successful entry-level…

    I know what you’re thinking – didn’t we do this already?  Well, yes: Honda first showed the new Hornet 1000 off around this time last year, as a 2024 model. It’s kinda heartening to think that the enormous moto-industrial complex which is Honda is just like us: Project bikes taking much longer than you thought…
