Japan's answer to the dominance of Ducati twins gave us the character-driven Firestorm that, while it never quite matched the Italian marque for desirability, makes an excellent alternative

For 10 years now Honda's Pan European has been one of the sharpest touring tools in the box.

Aprilia's Tuono is one of the more curious of machines to come from Italy

I know I'm not as young as I was...

Two of the hardiest perennials in the middleweight category go head to head

Triumph's Tiger sheds the big trailie looks, sharpens its claws and goes for a more road-inspired image. Is this the right direction for Hinckley's big cat?

It's 2007 already for Harley-Davidson. Grant Leonard rides the new big cruiser range, from stripped Street Bob to full-dress FLHTCU. Eh?

With a tyre-shredding 194bhp on tap and a fully revised chassis the original Hypersports bike is refusing to grow old gracefully. Hold on tight, because the 'Busa is back and is meaner than ever...

In the six years since we first saw the B-King it has been the subject of heated discussion in Japan. Should it be dumbed down for mass market or a full-blown radical bike? Find out who won the argument...

Kawasaki enter the super-tourer class with their blistering GTR1400. Well-appointed and refined, this top-end tourer also comes with a strong helping of brutish Kawasaki performance.

Meet Bob he's the biking experience you never knew you wanted.

It's pricey single-cylinder special time.

At last Aprilia have arrived with a middleweight. Laden with high-tech features and cutting edge styling. Only it's 750cc. And £5600. You have to ask, is this cheating?

The grandfather of the retro scene is back (with a new hip replacement)

Old faithful returns with a new jacket, starched braces and a spanking new motor

A new set of glad rags, a tweak of the chassis here and a fettled gearbox there, et voila: a really rather splendid new big Zed

The Z750 quietly got on with being one of the best Kawasakis for years. Is the new model ready to kick more middleweight ass?

A supermoto, sort of, from the land that invented the genre.
