While a brand new 990 Adventure’s a nice idea, the subtle nature of KTM’s update means the previous model is far from obsolete. And with prices now at 600 supersport money, the most versatile machine on the planet is within reach.

Sharper looks, new components. Triumph have added performance to their popular 675

FireBlade TT Opinion: John McGuinness I like the FireBlade, like the softer power delivery that's dead usable and linear. It steers really fast too, and feels light, compact and aggressive where the others felt more like armchairs.

Not the fastest or sharpest but has no real weak areas, other than finish

Small, but perfectly formed. Yamaha's baby boomer is the perfect antidote to the humdrum urban commute.

The F800S and ST are BMW's first entry into the middleweight market. Both are aimed squarely at newer riders who hanker after the kudos and quality associated with the German firm.

Much more zest than the competition but has its drawbacks too

The SV1000 is like the 650, but on steroids. Like your best friend it’s solid, reliable and fun to be with. If you are after a naked bike it’s very competent but it does lack the ‘kick-in-the pants’ elements of the TL.

As a road bike the Sport S is very good, with loads of low-down power, an excellent gearbox and low maintenance shaft-drive

1997 saw Suzuki emulate it's success with the 750 race rep with the launch of the GSX-R 600.

The best BMW just got better. Don’t risk a test ride unless you’re prepared to part with your cash. Yup, it’s that good.

It's big, it's weird looking and it doesn't have any clothes on. Oh yes, and it's very, very fast. Are BMW about to take the naked bruiser class by storm?

JUST COMPLETED three track sessions on the new 2011 Triumph Speed Triple. Circuit Ascari is an amazing place and at over three miles a lap it takes some learning, too.

Meet KTM's 942cc supermoto. The motorcycling equivalent of a man with a thousand yard stare, disturbing twitch and a worrying interest in firearms...

Triumph's new Tiger 800 enters a competitive market. Ben Cope gives his first opinion.

Kawasaki have launched the all-new ZX-10R. The much awaited new model steps up to the plate with a claimed 200bhp at the crank, traction control as standard and the option of ABS. No prizes for guessing the bike Kawasaki want to knock off the top spot.

Gets the job done, just not as well as BMW's GS.

The K1200 LT is a significant improvement over the old model, mainly because of the extra stomp from the engine

Just ridden the brand new £9,499 Triumph Sprint GT for an hour through the Scottish highlands and have just stopped at a petrol station to check the tyre pressure, all was as it should be. The steering is incredibly heavy and lifeless, perhaps an attribute of the extended wheelbase courtesy of a longer swingarm.
