It was an attempt to cash in on the success of European-style sports twins; introduced to Europe in 1996 the TRX850 sold steadily.

TZR looking single cylinder race bike with Deltabox chassis and 1/2 fairing

Lovely road bike. Big range, big motor, eye-bulging brakes. Good value

De-tuned FJ motor could do with more horses to haul its heavy arse along

Big Divvie is like a labrador on the road. Friendly and likeable. Excellent shaft drive

The DT125 may have undergone an emissions-pleasing overhaul this year, but this learner-friendly dirt bike has remained faithful to the two-stroke cause

Cult bike. Massive power kicks in from 6,000 revs. Hang on! Does not like bends

If you want something to get you from A to B, this will do the job. Excitement? No

Fully-faired screaming 2-stroke looks the part, but not as trick as its Italian competitors

Superb supermoto looks powered by single cylinder 2-stroke motor. Oh to be 17 again

Can't live with the GSXR750 or FireBlade on the road. Needs to be worked hard

High-revving mini race bike needs to be wound up, but boy does it handle

Looks the part, but lacks any real performance to compete with the Honda or BMW

The little 125's big brother has twice as many cylinders and double the cc's

Monster low-down power, silky smooth delivery makes the FJ a perfect sports-tourer

Probably the best middle-weight sports bike around
