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 …

The appearance and technology behind the Suzuki GSX-R1000 are old hat now, and it lacks a quick shifter. Even so, the minor changes have certainly had a good effect, with a balanced chassis, …

For such an expensive machine, the Streetfighter S is certainly no looker, but luckily its superb performance will soon make you forget about its drab styling. The motor is responsive and lively, the …

If perfection has a name, it's the Street Triple, Fast Bikes concluded after fawning over its stability, steering, speed and handling. It also handles potholes wonderfully, and is a fantastic …

Fast Bikes think that from the line of modern-day Ducatis, the 1098 may be the last one to offer a truly enjoyable ride without leaving you scared witless. It's a rather expensive bike that …

Although the CBR1000RR is not perfect, the 2012 incarnation is an improvement over previous versions, which to be fair were already very fine machines. Despite Fast Bikes criticising its top end, …

Even though Fast Bikes declared that the Kawasaki Versys 1000 offered a solid ride and superb turbine-like motor, they couldn't get over its appearance. The electrics are irregular too, and even …

Suzuki's Hayabusa is a large and hefty bike, but Fast Bikes say it can be picked up fairly cheaply second hand, and it handles very well. It doesn't look the best, but it's more than …
