Although the YZF-R6 is a fantastic track machine, it's quite a different animal on the road. Fast Bikes praised its looks, front end and top end, saying that it's a no-brainer choice for …

The comfort of the 990 SM T makes it an ideal machine for touring and commuting, but these are far from being its only talents, as it's a supremely capable road performer too. Fast Bikes were …

The only thing that Fast Bikes really didn't like about the 2013 model of the Ninja ZX-6R was its green colour scheme, but luckily there are more variants to choose from. Otherwise it pushes all …

There's a lot to like about the YZF-R1, for example its superb crossplane crank, traction control and big overall feel, but Fast Bikes also felt slightly underwhelmed considering what Yamaha is …

Fast Bikes believe that the Honda CBR600RR is a superior road bike. They say it has aged well, and that the used market has also been favourable to it. However, the dash looks rather old fashioned, …

The B-King is something of an acquired taste and prices haven't gone down that much from its original £9000 to the £6000 you can expect to pay nowadays for one, so you need to think carefully if …

It's hard to love the FLHX Street Glide at that price, especially considering that it's not exactly equipped with the latest technology, although nostalgia is a big part of its raison …

Suzuki's rehauled GSX-R750 is quite a sizeable beast, but despite its heft, it's agile and fluid no matter whether it's going fast or slow. However, the brakes are not ideal in Fast …

The simplicity of Kawasaki's Ninja ZX-6R is both its greatest asset and its greatest flaw, Fast Bikes said. It's a blast to ride and it's fast, but compared to rivals such as the 675R, …

The Kawasaki W800 offers a genuine experience of riding a heritage bike, and Fast Bikes believe it to be the very best of retro cool. The tank range is limited and the disc brake is poor, but with …

Some softness in the settings and a high price keep the R 1200 GS from achieving full marks, but there's nothing else to complain about here. It's very comfortable, well proportioned, the …

While on one hand there is a lot to like in the Cross Country Tour such as its amazingly comfortable sitting position and superb gadgetry, its high price, lack of aerodynamic efficiency and poor town …

The Z1000SX is a big bike, of that there's no doubt, and that could be a deal breaker for some. If that doesn't matter to you, though, then its amazing speed, superb handling, fantastic …

It obviously won't be your choice if you want the latest and greatest, but the Daytona T595 is a legendary bike in its own right and it deserves all the respect it's garnered throughout the …

Fast Bikes weren't too happy about the CBR600RR's price tag and they said that the midrange could be better, thus implying that you'll need to work the motor. On the other hand, …

Being quirky is not always a good thing, and it certainly isn't in the case of Buell's 1125R. Its awkward handling means that its mainstream appeal is almost inexistent, confining it to a …
