Aprilia The Pegaso

Aprilia The RST1000 Futura
It’s easy to forget that Aprilia has only been building road bikes for twenty years. Add the fact that it has only produced its first big bike, the RSV1000 Mille in 1998, and you have to judge its rise to fame in the global motorcycle market as nothing...
Aprilia The RSV Mille R
Here are two special versions of perhaps the nicest V-twin sportbike to come out of Italy in the 1990’s Based on the `ordinary´ RSV Mille, the R variant features uprated suspension for more track orientated riding and a re-chipped incarnation of that...
Aprilia The RSV Mille R 2002

Harley Davidson Electra Glide 2007

Bimota Mantra
“What the hell is that?” That was the typical reaction to the Bimota Mantra, one of the craziest bikes ever made in Italy, which is quite an achievement. Featuring an engine lifted from Ducati´s mid 1990s 900SS model, with Sacha Lakic´s weird chassis and...
BMW F650 Funduro
The BMW F650, better known as the Funduro, has been one of the success stories of the 1990s for the German company, with over 64,000 units sold. The heart of its appeal is the simple, easygoing nature of the Rotax derived single cylinder engine, which...
BMW R1150GS
There aren’t many motorcycles that can do everything very well. Tour, scratch, commute and maybe hit 90mph on a farm track in rural France on your holidays. But the BMW R1150GS is that rare thing, a bike for all seasons. Now with its biggest ever engine...
Moto Guzzi 1100 Sport Injection
A V-twin pushrod engine, which can trace its roots back to the Italian armed forces vehicles of WW11, might not be your choice of motive power for a sports motorcycle. But Guzzi had little choice for the last 30 years, than to work with what they know....
Bimota DB2 SR
Some bikes simply look right from any angle and the DB2 is one of them. Powered by the Ducati 900SS motor from the early 1990s, the Bimota DB2 has swoopy, all-enclosing bodywork that gives this bike a rakish, ready-for-action style. Because of that Ducati...
Bimota DB4
Perhaps the final step along the evolutionary road for Bimota and their association with the 900cc Ducati V-twin engine. Fitting the late 1990s 90 degree twin from the boys at Bologna transformed the DB machine, as the motor was much more reliable, and a...
Bimota DB6 Delirio
Bimota have launched a naked bike so user-friendly, that you could commute, tour or take a trackday on the DB6 Delirio. But this is still a Bimota of the old school; expensive, beautifully intricate and very much a personal vision of its designer, Sergio...
Bimota SB7
The successor to the SB6 had one very significant change; a fuel injected GSXR750 Suzuki motor, delivering even more horsepower. The SB7 was another step along the road for Bimota in refining their unique vision of what the ultimate sportsbike should be...
Bimota SB 8K Gobert Replica
Bimota refused to lie down and another batch of bikes has been assembled, based on the famous World Superbike race winning machine, Which Anthony Gobert took to victory in Australia. Can this latest bike revive Bimota’s fortunes? Chris Pearson rode this...
Bimota SB8 R
Take a good look at the Suzuki TL1000R, or the S variant, and you might wish the Suzuki had made their big V-twin sportbike a bit funkier looking. Then cast your gaze over the voluptuous curves of the Bimota SB8R and realise the truth; Japan may make some...
