V4 R: ACCESS ALL AREAS
While expected, the news of Ducati's 2026 V4 R still landed as a welcome shock in our inbox, with the even bigger surprise being an invite to Bologna to get up close and personal with the 998cc V4 powerhouse, engineered to unleash a potential 239hp at 16,000rpm.

LONGTERMER KAWASAKI NINJA 1100SX SE
There has been a recent addition to the family; I've become a proud grandad, and the ride to the hospital to welcome my first grandson after a long day at work on a warm summer evening filled me with energy and joy at the thought of seeing him for the first time.

HONDA CBR1000RR-R SP - FIREBLADE
So much has been written about Fireblades over the years and decades that still being able to ride and write about one - and be able to say that today's version is properly badass - makes me very happy.

BATTLE OF BRITTEN
Few motorcycles have captured the imagination like the Britten V1000, a hand-built marvel that not only redefined what a racing bike could be, but which took on the world's biggest manufacturers... and won.

ROUNDING OFF
At this point, I'm supposed to pick a bike from the group as my winner, but when it comes to it, the truth genuinely is that it's impossible. How can you pick one 200bhp bike over another 200bhp bike as better, when they are all capable of making your jaw drop and encourage expletives at their sheer violence?

BMW S1000RR...
Earlier this year at the press launch of the 2025 BMW S1000RR, I had a lightbulb moment when I realised that the S1000RR turned 15 years old in 2025, which, to be honest, I found more interesting than the fact that the wings on the 2025 bike make 1.6kg more downforce at 150kph than the 2024 wings do, or that the new mudguard is more efficient aerodynamically, and that the side panels are now asymmetric, just like the first-generation S1000RR.

KAWASAKI ZX-10R....
If you go all the way back to 2011, when the ZX-10R was last completely replaced, and fast-forward to present day, its evolution goes something like this: 2016 new frame and swingarm and power up to 197bhp, plus IMU-based rider aids; 2017 - RR spec introduced so a cylinder head could be homologated for racing even though the 'go faster' parts weren't included... the head was modified only so they could be added later; 2020 - ZX-10R got the cylinder head and pistons from the RR; 2021 new aero... and that's pretty much it.
