Aprilia
motorcycles and scooters have justifiably
earned themselves a faithful following.
The RSV1000 in particular is a great
bike as are all the scooters and off
road bikes. |

Benelli
have been making bikes for a long time.
Bikes such as the classic 750 and 900
six cylinder machines from the 70's
and 80's. Now the Tornado has taken
over with radical design and excellent
performance. It's been updated a couple of times and the 903cc version is possibly the cheapest supersports bike you'll ever see, anywhere. |

have gone by the wayside now as Harley Davidson pulled the plug on them in late 2009. But you can still get them new from dealers while there's stock, and their build quality means they are likely to be around on the used market for years yet... |

They're also as rare as hen's teeth, though a new UK importer is trying to address that. More here soon, we hope... |

to own. They are still here and getting
better and better every year. |

Every
biker has probably owned an
MZ 2 stroke at some stage. Always the
winter hack bike and it went forever.
The new 1000cc four stroke bikes had great promise and the funky 125 Supermoto also looked exciting, but the current economic situation means that, for the moment at least, we're unlikely to see anything further from them. |

I've
owned one, and so have you.
They spat oil out and weren't very fast.
Not so nowadays. Triumph make fantastic
bikes with superb performance, style
and quality. Keep it up! |
