Proven workhorse benefits from a makeover, but it still isn't a bike you'd carry a photo of in your wallet

Heavyweight tourer comes with panniers, full fairing and rear carrier

Not a bad bike necessarily, but very much the least bad-assed Blade in the family tree and no doubts about it.

The updates to the Fazer make perfect sense in this naked guise. It has the X-factor that the faired Fazer is missing and is really good fun to ride, as well as being a top commuter

A reasonable cruiser if the price is right

Think of it as the de luxe version of the Vegas and you'll not be far wrong. This is even more slick and stylish

If you need the best of breed Mille, then this is it!

This is one complete motorcycle, albeit a very expensive one. It would be the ultimate track day tool and probably the closest you can get to a pukka WSB bike for the money.

It would be very difficult to criticise the Piega in any way. It’s fast enough, handles superbly, and is probably the most beautiful motorcycle on the market today

This 450 will bulldoze through any bog and climb any mountain. It’s the daddy of the range and not for wimps

A magical balance of power delivery, chassis balance and suspension has been achieved

Smoother, more refined version of an already accomplished middleweight. Only poor tank range lets it down

The CityX is capable, quirky, good value and produces plenty of low down torque. It’s a fun tool that will be at home on city streets and rural B-roads

In an age when most sportsbikes look very much alike, the Tesi stands apart from the crowd

Welcome addition from Aprilia to the big boy's supermoto club

Still a big, manly bike for big, manly man, but this time for those who like to duck out of the rain. The sweeties

Wicked fun for the L-plate massive

As big trailies go, the KLV is on a par with the Honda Varadero, not quite as good as Aprilia's Caponord and no where near as good as the BMW R1200GS

Why does Suzuki insist on giving its cruisers comedy names? That aside, the Intruder (stop laughing!) is a well-rounded 805cc cruiser

First came the V-Rod cruiser, now we have the Street Rod roadster - the first sporty bike Harley has built for decades. And it goes as good as it looks

Everyone knows that red bikes are faster, so Guzzi released this quicker version of the Le Mans

Yes, less really is more. Less motor, less (harsh) suspension with less colour for less money equals a Ducati four-valve supersport bike which is, quite simply, more super than a 999

Gorgeous looking little 125 sportsbike, but for our money, the naked version just edges it
