Fancy A Taste Of The Exotic?

Spending a day razzing around on a pair of mega special Ducatis got us thinking about the investment bike market, so we caught up with Dave from The Bike Specialists in Sheffield to get his take on all things exotic.

Ultimate V4

A test of time, wallet size and exotica, we pitched Ducati’s GP-inspired Desmo RR against the firm’s decade fresher Panigale V4 Speciale.

Life doesn’t always go to plan. The same goes for project bikes.

Carl Stevens

We're getting into October now and it already feels like 2018 is upon us! More and more boxes are arriving for next year’s steed, but until then I’ve been keeping myself busy in just about any way I can.

Gary Johnson

Howdy folks! I hope you’re all well and having a right old hoot, whatever you’re up to. You’ve got to enjoy life, and bikes are my number one fuel for having a laugh.

Chaz Davies

Hi guys, how are we all? Me, I’m just about to head off to Magny Cours so it would seem the perfect time to check in with Team FB. Now, obviously last time out on track things were pretty sweet as we nailed the double victory at Lausitzring in Germany. It was even sweeter as the pace was much faster than last season, and Jonny Rea pushed me pretty hard to keep up the quick consistent laps. Everything felt good, and while the title may now be out of reach, there’s nothing quite like doing the double.

Kawasaki ZX-6R

THIS MONTH I HAVE MOSTLY BEEN… Falling in love. Again.

Good things come in threes or so Yamaha would have us believe. Their radical new creation is soon to hit the showrooms but is three a crowd, or is it really the magic number?
