Honda comparison: CBR 600 vs Deuville vs VFR 800 vs Blackbird 1100
It may seem strange to compare a CBR 600 (small sports bike), a Deuville (small tourer), VFR 800 (sports tourer) and Blackbird 1100 (sports tourer) as they’re all quite different bikes. From the small and nimble CBR 600 to the … Continue reading

Review of Yamaha Fazer FZ6 600
Having not ridden a motorbike for some 7 years I sat astride the Yamaha Fazer 600 with some trepidation. I had chosen the bike as it looked like it would have a reasonable amount of power to ‘break me in’ … Continue reading

Motorbike hire in east London
I usually hire motorbikes from a place called Raceways in Surrey Quays, East London but a) it’s quite expensive, and b) they’re the wrong side of the river. I’m going to be on a Honda VFR800 this weekend I’d definitely … Continue reading
