Staff Blog: I bet it won’t go off-road…

Richard Newland, 19 June 2013 10:10

The GS isn’t ...

Milan Show: Kawasaki Z1000 Special

Richard Newland, 13 November 2012 11:59

Some specials are definitely more special than others - and this one has caused MCN Senior Reporter Andy Downes to 'have a slight crisis' on the Kawasaki stand in Milan. Built as a one-off for Kawasaki's 40th anniversary of the Z model line, this absolutely stunning Z1000-based creation marries modern cycle parts to the iconic styling of the original Z900. ...

Richard Newland, 13 November 2012 11:47

Milan Show: New Diavel Strada

Richard Newland, 12 November 2012 17:04

An ugly Ducati is a rare old beast these days but the new Diavel Strada could be the first since the original Multistrada 1000 turned stomachs in 2003, or the easily forgotten Indiana of 1982 slipped into the shadows. The Strada is billed as a touring-inspired version of the power cruiser Diavel and comes factory fitted with touring options including ...

Right on cue, Ducati has revealed the ultimate iteration of the 1199 Panigale superbike with the ‘absolute flagship’ R version, which sits atop the range and above the existing bikes in terms of spec.
