Metzeler claim their new tyre, the Sportec M5 Interact, is a grippy sport-touring tyre that’ll work well on sportsbikes. As is the trend at the moment; tyre manufacturers are producing tyres that offer grip and bold mileage claims.

Improved carcass structures for enhanced straight line stability at high speed with smooth rolling characteristics for long distance journeys Maximum mileage on the street and great traction also on light off-road surfaces thanks to the specific compound

They’re not so great at cutting through standing water but they never feel as though they’re going to swap ends. Really good on the brakes too.

Aside from a few charging system problems, Honda’s rider-friendly yet rapid CBF1000 has carved a place in a great many riders’ affections. Here’s the how and why from those riders

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
