The Suzuki Biplane motorcycle that was on display at the Tokyo Auto Show was inspired design-wise by the classic Wright Brothers biplane, but I personally think it looks more like that red mean machine that Akira rode in the groundbreaking anime by Katsuhiro Otomo. Will there be secret wings hidden inside this beast? Probably not, but chances are you’ll be able to fly in this thing and put just about any other vehicle on the road to shame with your speed.

A low seat, great handling, extra wide tires, and, most importantly, a burly 4-stroke engine, have cemented the TW200’s reputation as a fantastic dual purpose ride. Whether you’re a beginner or a veteran; a camper or a city dweller, this bike guarantees good times.
Where to? Big fat tires that deliver great traction and rider comfort make the TW200 the most distinctive dual purpose around. You also get a durable, reliable engine, electric power start and full street equipment for on/offroad riding.
Whatever you think of the new wave of retro motorcycles-faux classics to lure fashion-conscious new bikers or genuine machines with credibility and a direct line to the past-you can’t ignore ‘em.
And certainly nobody seemed able to ignore the Ducati Sport 1000S for the week it was in my sticky mitts. It’s one of those bikes that halts pedestrians in their tracks, forces involuntary thumbs-up out of car drivers and even drags pleasantries out of well-to-do ladies on their way to beautification. It is, without doubt, gorgeous. The red paint on the bodywork and steel trellis frame is just the right shade that pops in the sun but goes bloodlike as light fades, while the proportions of the half-fairing, the chrome and ally cockpit, the simple elegance of that air-cooled 992cc engine, all add up to a visual feast.
The ideal choice for the next generation of champions.
The 2009 Yamaha YZ85 may be the smallets member of the YZ family, but it’s a big-time competitor. It’s got the power to win with a liquid-cooled, 85cc engine, 6-speed gearbox, and adjustable suspension up front and out back. This is one mighty mini.
The mini racer of choice. Born from the award winning YZ competition bikes, YZ 85 features a liquid-cooled, 84.7cc crankcase reed-valve-inducted six-speed that is compact and light. You also get an ultra-rigid, single backbone, semi-double-cradle frame, fully adjustable suspension and more to suit a wide range of rider from novice to mini expert.
Many motorcycles in today’s market feature anti-lock brakes, including models from Honda like the Interceptor and Silverwing scooters. Now, though, the red-winged manufacturer of motorcycles has announced a new system which completely removes the rider’s direct connection with the front and rear brakes. Instead of a cable connection, the system uses brake-by-wire technology and allows an on-board computer to apply pressure to both the front and rear brakes as it sees fit. This new system is expected to debut on sportbikes first, which raises some eyebrows in the cycle-riding community. The highest performing bikes have ridiculously powerful brakes which are capable of locking up the front tire very easily. Still, hardcore riders have proven very reluctant to give up any control to computers, especially on race tracks, where supersport bikes are expected to thrive. Being Honda, though, there is a prevailing sense that the technology will work. Expect the new combined ABS system to proliferate to all of Honda’s two-wheelers in the near future.
Amazing nimbleness and maneuverability make it the choice of riders of all levels.
Tight woods or wide open terrain, the lightweight, compact WR250F is ready to tackle any challenge you can throw at it. The combination of a smooth, powerful engine, a lightweight aluminum chassis with YZ based suspension and great brakes make the WR250F an amazing off road performer.
Experience the power of overwhelming balance. The 2009 Yamaha WR250F features a powerful and reliable highly evolved high-revving five-titanium-valved engine, YZ-bred advanced super nimble aluminum frame, push button start, and a digital enduro race computer with speedometer, clock, and tripmeter. The 2009 WR250F is also green approved for California.

Road testing any superbike on the salty, slippery and usually damp mid-winter British roads is always a somewhat challenging experience, and to say I had reasonable weather whilst with the Aprilia is probably and understatement! I think I had 1 day where the roads were actually clear of salt, that’s only because it rained heavily on the previous day and as usual I got caught in it!
First things first, and in the case of the new Aprilia RSV Mille R it’s a totally different animal than Aprilia’s last model. The ‘04′ R model (let’s call it that to save confusion) is now the base model of the Mille, while last years R was in fact the top of the range. Confused? Well read on…
