This latest version is styled to look like a 1980s racer - but rather than having the headaches that would be associated with buying an 80s bike today, the 890cc triple combined with rider aids pulled from the R1 will have you feeling like a racer without the added fear of being flung into oblivion.

With 180bhp at 13,500 rpm, this seems like an all-rounder that will also be blistering on the track. We do question whether all that power is necessary, though.

We rode the KTM RC390 recently, and while enjoyed our time with it, it’s the Kawasaki ZX4RR that we’re really looking forward to. But then in comes Aprilia with their new RS 457.

We have another garage-find bike on our hands but this time it's a race-prepared Suzuki GSXR 600 Track Bike.

Did we get a bargain or a money pit?

Last year we gushed over the Honda CBR650 R and how it appeared to be the saviour of the 600 sportsbike. But perhaps our excitement was a bit premature.

First of all, let’s just state the obvious. We are not as smart as those at Honda. There are plenty of very clever designers, engineers and riders that are currently unable to answer the question currently being posed at the top of this page. This article can be best described as an informed rant.

We got a press release into our inbox today. it was two pages long and it was to announce that the Ducati Supersport 950S has a new livery with a go-faster stripe.

Yamaha are, by no means, the first marque to develop a self-righting bike - but they are the latest to show off what they’ve come up with.

We recently reviewed the KTM RC125 and we made the claim that it was the coolest bike that a teenager could get. But here comes Yamaha with a possible rival.

Okay, perhaps “old engine” isn’t quite the right way of putting it - but the news is that Ducati have unveiled a new version of the Diavel and it now sports the V4 engine of other Ducatis in the range.

Ducati goes utterly mental, releasing a 240bhp version of the Panigale - the V4R

We rode the BMW S1000RR at Anglesey for the BMW Motorrad Academy and were mightly impressed with it - but now there’s a new one and it looks even better.

Both versions of the new Commando are powered by a 961cc parallel twin, developing around 75bhp, adjustable Öhlins forks and rear suspension, Brembo brakes and a load of other trimmings - but essentially, they're both exactly the same bike - just with different styling options.

We’ve always liked the Monster - and while there’s not a huge amount of difference between this and the standard model (other than the price tag, of course), we’ve already fired off an email in anticipation of being able to ride one.

This month, we’ve been riding the CBR 650R - and you can look forward to a video of our opinions soon.

While this bike might not seem like much of a big deal - it actually is. You see, the 600cc sports bike category is just about dead. There are a number of reasons for that - it’s not all down to the Euro5 emissions regulations, although that is a bike part of it.

Silverstone has undergone some major changes over the last few years. After Donington failed to secure the British Grand Prix, a huge renovation began to regenerate the track and facilities. In 2011, work on the new Pit and Paddock complex was completed and the starting grid was moved from its old position in front of, what was, the pitwall to the new ‘Wing’.

Pimp My Ride was a show that was very ‘of its time’. It was the quintiessential early 2000s binge-worthy MTV show - and became the show that sky-rocketed Xzibit to a level of popularity that his music never did.

Triumph is all-in on the development of their TE-1 electric bike. But will it actually make it to production?
