HMC Classic first ride

Phil West, 08 April 2013 16:04

Now here’s a seemingly good idea: one so simple and obvious you wonder why no-one’s thought of it before. Your average Chinese learner 125 is, shall we say, a tad basic and budget, right?

Matt Oxley, 27 December 2012 08:00

Fifty years ago Suzuki won its first world championship with the rinkiest-dinkiest little Grand Prix bike. The 50cc RM62 that Ernst Degner rode to the inaugural 50cc title in October 1962 made eight horsepower and was good for 90mph, with a little help from a tailwind. It was hardly an awesome motorcycle, but its success was as much a historic  ...

Ultra-lightweight Ducati-powered NCR weighs just 126kg

MCN, 02 November 2011 16:23

This Monster-powered, featherweight racer is the M4 One Shot, the latest beauty from Bologna-based bike builders NCR. Using the same basic geometry and concept as the firm's 1000 Millona race bike, and borrowing heavily from the Ducati Monster 1100 Evo - itself a meagre 169kg - the stripped down, titanium and carbon-fibre constructed M4 One Shot tips the scales at ...

Editor's picks: Aprilia RS125

MCN, 28 September 2011 17:03

The two-stroke Aprilia RS125 was without doubt the top motorcycle for most right-thinking teenagers when it first rolled out of the factory in 1995. Aprilia has just launched a new 15bhp four-stroke - the RS4 125 - but the rev-hungry RS125 is still on sale and will be until at least 2012. But for those wanting a bit more excitement from their ...
