Retro

Ducati's Sport Classics are retro cool but about as comfortable as an Indian bus ride. Now, with added comfort, comes the GT1000.

Honda's retro design: robust and rewarding or disastrous and disappointing?

Just another member of the Bandit family? Not quite. Suzuki delve back into the history books to bring you a genuine muscle bike with all the trimmings. Niall Mackenzie finds it's not quite what he expected

Remember the Big One, the Honda CB1000? Well this is the Even Bigger One, a bike that, like its rider(!), combines massive muscle with definitive retro appeal

For the ultimate street cred you need flat bars and a motor with more grunt than a '70s porn star. Time to turn back the clock and discover the best in retro biking

Classic styling for these retro inspired modern bikes, Triumph, Ducati and Moto Guzzi all have what it takes. But who's got it licked?

Much more in keeping with an original V7 Sport from 1969, the Café Classic sports the bump-stop seat for one, clip on bars and tank, and panels as faithful as modern construction techniques allow.

James Whitham's review of the Harley XR1200

Right now is the time for enjoying the sun on two wheels. Whether it’s maximum speed or maximum cool you’re after, we rounded up the four best second-hand bikes we could find for £4,000 that provide the biggest bang for your summer buck...

Large, simple and underdeveloped. But enough about our intern, Ian Stewart, Whit’s XR1200 proves that it’s as much fun as its owner

As soon as the new Thunderbird and I leave the motorway, life gets better. Since Barcelona the three-lane highway’s been under a moody ceiling of grey cloud, the new Thunderbird’s chrome flat without a few rays of sun to bring it alive.

The new Moto Guzzi V7 Classic could be the perfect bike if you are looking for a classic but don’t want to get your hands dirty.

Thirty-three years in the planning and Ducati's Sportclassics are finally here. But you'd better be quick if you want one.

Back in the day the Bol d'Or was THE end-of-summer ride out. Using retro-repros TWO is recreating the experience: twins and twin-shocks to the Bol. Let the slipstreaming begin!

New dogs, old tricks. Does a factory retro sit well in the modern garage?

It may not be a latter-day CB1100R, and it may be a bit soft around the edges, but the retro CB1300S is still a capable, competent machine.

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

Corsaro too lairy? Then here's a more amiable naked.
