Road test: 2008 Triumph Speed Triple 1050 – Sharper Speed Triple
How do you improve something that’s already as good as the Speed Triple? Well, there were a few issues with the Nissin radial brakes; the seat wasn’t comfy enough for pillions so Triumph justified a re-launch for its superstar.

2008 Moto Guzzi V7 Classic – V7 in the Italian Alps
Moto Guzzi has pulled another classic model name out of its hat. The V7 Classic is a 70’s inspired roadster that means the same to Moto Guzzi as the Bonnie does to Triumph. I had a very pleasant acquaintance with the small 750 in the Italian Alps. |

Track test: 2008 Bimota DB7 1098 launch – Brute force À la carte
Pick the best from the best, machine it and bolt it together by hand and voila you have a Bimota. The DB7 oozes of exclusivity from the design to the choice of the 160hp Ducati Testastretta 1098 engine. I got the chance to ride Bimota’s first superbike since the SB8R on Misano. |

First look: ALPINESTARS BIONIC NECK SUPPORT
The Alpinestars Bionic Neck Support (BNS) is a structure which is designed to work with a helmet to reduce the risk and severity of a catastrophic neck injury (ie. A paralyzing injury). While no product can guarantee protection from all motorcycle injuries, due to the varied dynamics of accidents, the BNS is designed to substantially reduce the likelihood of a career ending neck injury although it must be stated at the outset that it, as with other such systems, may not prevent injuries occurring in all cases.

DB6R from Bimota is like strawberries and double cream for the senses. Delirio is tighter than glue and more obedient than a Chinese beurocrat. Purely made for fun and fun only! |

Test CR&S Vun: what else?
On May 19 2008, CR&S organized the first CR&S Track Day at the Ecuyers track (Beuvarde, France). After 6 hours in a ferry boat and another 8 hours on French motorways and their innumerable speed radars, I finally reached the almost brand new Ecuyers track. Cloudy and cold weather, but no rain. I'm not exactly in a fresh condition, but seeing the many Vuns (differents technical configurations and paints schemes) makes me happy. |

The XR 1200 has been a long time coming. I was there in Cologne when it was first unveiled to the world in 2006. In Valencia in 2008 I finally got my first chance to ride it. When did you ever see a standard Harley-Davidson being wheelied? The answer unless your name is Craig Jones is never! |
