From Dunlop:

Honda’s NR750 and Ducati’s Desmosedici are two of the most stunning bikes ever built. Each are worth £40,000 and both were developed from pure GP technology. There may be an incredible 16 years between them, but exclusivity this rare is timeless

TWO's James Whitham reports back from the launch of KTM's sharp new RC8R

Bimota, sadly now without a UK importer, continue making some of the prettiest bikes in the world. The 1098-powered DB7 is divine...

Despite sounding like a Greek travel rep Guzzi could be tapping a gold mine with its new adventure bike

Some secondhand bikes have slipped through the insurance net and can be bought and insured for less than half the price of a new supersport machine. We grabbed a 22 year-old student and found the most ridiculous insurance deals on these four

Eagerly anticipated but horrendously expensive on its launch, the Fazer needed a price cut before gaining the popularity it deserved. But what about a used one?

Upon its launch, the 2001 GSX-R1000 swept all before it. Six years later it is still arguably the best of the litre sports bike brood, but how does it handle in the fiercely fought second-hand sector?

Another rabid machine from Aprilia? Excellent...

More power, less weight, and all wrapped in a GSX-R1000 looky-likey form. It's bound to kick butt on-track - but can it deliver on the road?

John Hogan spends 12 months 'enhancing' his cool status with the Victory 8 Ball

Five middleweights and a bunch of lightweights head off for the perfect pint of real ale in the UK's best pub.

If only bikes were available on prescription to combat the misery of the Great British Winter

The original Ducati spoiler is more practical and arguably more exotic too. Plus the spec'd up 'R' version can be had on the used market for as little as £3,000. But beware, she has a few issues up her skirt.

Half elephant, half cyclops, but all-conquering when it came to the title of King of Speed in the late 1990s, the Hayabusa is still the yardstick for sheer velocity and a fantastic cult motorcycle.

Like Barbara Windsor, it hasn't been considered sexy for years. So what's kept the ZZ-R600 on Kawasaki's books all this time? It's the fastest, squashiest, flying sofa has ever seen, that's why...

Handsome is as handsome does. And if that's the case, many owners reckon the V-Strom is drop-dead gorgeous and offers plenty of smiles for the miles.

Kawasaki have been cleaning up in motocross this season. And their '08 range are direct descendants of their world beaters. You man enough to ride one?

Feet stretched to way-out-front highway pegs. A single, fat, white-faced chrome-edged speedo dominating a chunky ally top-yoke. Heavyweight tank-mounted console for the basics and a nacelle headlight reflecting the whole world in its seamless perimeter.

There's a low, mean burbling coming from somewhere near my pants as my posterior is pummeled by a searing wave of torque. God, can you believe I've just written such tosh?
