Across Vietnam on a Motorbike

Ben Loombe-Temple, 14 September 2012 16:21

Like many people in the UK I’m a massive fan of Top Gear. One of my favourite episodes of the show has got to be the Vietnam special, where the three chaps all bought a motorbike in Saigon and rode them up to Halong Bay. Now if you’ve seen that episode then you’ll know just how amazing that experience looked. ...

Honda CBR600F 12 month report

Anonymous, 07 July 2012 10:11

I bought my CBR exactly 12 months ago and have done nearly 20,000 miles on it in all weathers. It was a split choice between a the CBR or an ER6 - I think I made the right choice. You can ride around town at 15mph or go a bit crazy at the top end. At a regular 75-80mph I get 55 mpg ...

Supermotos - impractical?

sliabhrossa, 17 April 2012 21:42

I disagree with the continuous comments I read in MCN of supermotos being impractical. I live in the real world with a real budget, I have a Honda XR650R supermoto with USD forks and yokes from a CRF, she has an akrapovic full exhaust and a nice Mikuni carb, wavy discs and a few other bits. I spent about €3000 on her. ...

Honda NC700X is brilliant

I took a Honda NC700X for a road test recently and ordered one as soon as I got back to the showroom. I've traded in a 2010 Kawasaki Z1000 - a great bike in all respects. The biggest problem I had was worrying what would come in the post for two weeks after every ride. I travel many miles a year and ...

Harley test rides

Reismotor, 27 May 2011 05:33

Last weekend I tested two Harley-Davidsons - the Street Bob and Rocker C. For months I was thinking how I can make a videoshot from a motorcycle witch is riding through a camera. Now I found out... Can you tell me how I did it?

Credit Crunch Biking - CBR 1000F

peterhenthorne, 05 October 2010 11:29

18 Months ago I bought an old CBR 1000F for £900 to keep me on the road after the 1300 Pan European had to go, there are 3 other little reports in the archives if anyone is interested. Now 11,000 miles on it's been used every day right through summer and winter with no dramas. It's cost nothing except consumables ...

My first sportsbike

Neil Manning, 28 April 2010 08:05

Having taken my test at the ripe old age of 42, I played safe and rode a brand new Suzuki Bandit 650SA. Having mastered the basics of riding a bike I then wanted a bit more power and moved up to the 1250 Bandit, again brand new. I had found my heaven. I have not sat behind the wheel of ...
