Yamaha's YZF-R1 goes head-to-head with itself in a bitter, old-versus-new family feud. Niall Mackenzie splits the difference in sunny southern Spain.

Three V-twins that are massive on everything, especially image. All show and no go? Grant and Niall find the answer in Southend.

Psst... Don't tell anyone, but there's a revolution underway: proper sports bike motors wrapped in stripped-down, sharp-steering chassis. Run for the hills! The naked generation is upon us!

Packing the biggest and most powerful Yamaha cruiser engine yet, plus a bag of styling cues lifted from the 1930s, the Midnight Star is bristling with modern technology. It's even got an EXUP valve.

Why build one bike when you can have two at twice the price? Yamaha's new FZ1 naked and half-faired FZ1 Fazer emerge into the cold light of day

Yamaha jumps the gun and launches the 2006 R1 before the competition. Over-confidence, or are the small changes enough to make a big difference?

Top Gear's James May and Autocar Magazine's Colin Goodwin team up with Yamaha and Harley-Davidson in a quest for the alternative to scary sports bikes.

In homage to Valentino Rossi's Yamaha-mounted world championship win, TWO takes all four generations of R1 to Spain for a right good thrashing and a weekend at the races .

Three different bikes, three different prices and three different ways to sports, tour and commute. These bikes are living proof that in the world of motorcycling, you can indeed have your cake, take it to the South of France and eat it...

The face of motorcycling may be changing...

Looking at buying either a 600 or 1000 Fazer but can't make your mind up? Do the running and retail costs of the 1000 put it in a different league to its little budget brother? All that and more inside. Lovely.

James Whitham used to be a bit tasty on an R6 in World Supersport, so he’s uniquely placed to give the ‘08 bike a proper seeing-to...

Always a massive seller in Europe but an underrated under-achiever in the UK. Nevertheless, the TDM in all its forms is a secret waiting to be discovered by the second-hand buyer.

A quantum leap in performance over the mighty FireBlade, the Yamaha YZF-R1 set new standards for power and performance at its launch back in 1998.
New and old models alike still sizzle today.

Yamaha's feisty little R6 has deservedly gained a cult status amongst its fans, as a rev-happy, sharp-edged alternative to Honda's more easy-going CBR600.

Cheaper than chips and more versatile than a Swiss Army knife, the Yamaha Fazer is one of the few bikes that really can be (nearly) all things to all men - and all for under two grand

Awesome brakes, really grunty motor and sharp handling make the Fazer fly

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

Yamaha's breezy, breathless middleweight gets some minor updates and a slightly longer name. A dash of midrange would be nice, too. Will it be enough to rule the morning dash to work?
02/04/08
Yamaha's latest Star is an exercise in big-small.

The 2007 R1 looks the goods but is it? Who better to say than Niall Mackenzie, ex-GP god turned mortal?
02/04/08
The grandfather of the retro scene is back (with a new hip replacement). It's sharper and stronger than before without losing any character

A number of performance-enhancing tweaks make this year's R6 a faster and more exciting proposition. Riding tips from Valentino Rossi not included...
