In 1985 Yamaha launched an unashamed brute of a bike. Born on the drag strip the V-Max was a mass of metal and chrome which instantly drew a cult following. Now, 23 years on, does the old master still command any respect?
In 1998 Aprilia launched the fast and affordable RSV Mille. Now the V-twin has handed over its flagship status to the new RSV4, so we celebrate a decade of the UK’s favourite V-twin sportsbike
The original 1998 Yamaha R1 is, even by today’s standards, a gloriously fast and furious superbike. Back then it was staggering. Tempted? Here’s everything you need to know about buying, owning and riding this modern classic.
Beloved of the happily middle-aged (and the police), unobtrusive, but more than capable of letting fly on a twisty road, Honda's ST1100 was a marvelous thing. Can the same be said of the ST1300?
