But with peak power output of 117bhp and…

    We knew this was coming – but it still hits hard. The first Yamaha R1 appeared just six years after our sister magazine Fast Bikes itself hit the streets – so in many ways, they grew up together. It was the original rulebook-rewriter; the superbike that toppled the mighty Honda FireBlade; the first of the…

    Honda specialises in making bikes that go much better than their spec sheet suggests. And that’s true for the 100bhp/238kg NT1100 sport tourer. Based on the Africa Twin engine and frame, it’s been a big hit in Europe and the UK since launch in 2022, selling more than 12,000 units so far. For 2025 it’s…

    We saw most of this earlier in the summer; the new Husqvarna 801 roadster has already been released in Svartpilen (black arrow) scrambler form, and for 2025 we get the other option, the Vitpilen (white arrow). As with the smaller models in the Husqvarna road bike range, both bikes share the basic engine and frame…

    Kawasaki’s got a lot of previous with the 1100cc capacity: its GPz1100 in 1983 was arguably one of the first proper modern superbikes, with half-fairing, fuel injection and monoshock suspension. The ZZ-R1100 in 1990 was the fastest bike in the world for seven years, and it’s had various other ZRX, GPZ and Zephyr 1100s since.…
