Benelli
A new 50cc scooter, that was Benelli’s new offering at the Intermot. The Triple still look cool as ever, the good looking Single shown, what, two or three years ago, still rocks. But there was n more... |

BMW
The new SBK racer from BMW has been unveiled weeks before the show and yet, seeing such a device coming out from Bavaria was mildly shocking. I was half expecting to see a porky Hypersport with a prop more... |

Ducati
An air-cooled, two-valve-per-cylinder V-Twin can’t compete with liquid-cooled, multi cylinder and valved supersports machines, but there’s a visceral charm to the latest version of the ven more... |

Kawasaki
You’ve read all the green news but how do they look in real life? All of the successful ER6 line up, i.e. ER-6n and ER-6r (Ninja 650R in the US) looks better than ever.

Suzuki
Take a long look at the new GSX-R1000 from the side . All of the sudden, the new and strange Buell 1125 looks almost normal. With its swoopy silencers and countless irrational curves and surfaces, the more... |

Triumph
Some good old British honesty at last; what you see is what you get. The cool 675 Daytona got a light facelift: new headlights and central air intake and looks uber cool. Good work.

Yamaha
Kudos for the crazy crankshaft in the new R1, forging one where the crankpins don’t line up into a single plane is one mean feat. Yamaha knew about the advantages of such a layout since Valen more... |

Znen
The Chinese are a fixed presence at the shows. This one, Znen, actually produces for an Italian set up new “Lambrettas.” It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad. The point is that by n more... |
