Kawasaki

Kawasaki have been cleaning up in motocross this season. And their '08 range are direct descendants of their world beaters. You man enough to ride one?

Kawasaki enter the super-tourer class with their blistering GTR1400. Well-appointed and refined, this top-end tourer also comes with a strong helping of brutish Kawasaki performance.

A new set of glad rags, a tweak of the chassis here and a fettled gearbox there, et voila: a really rather splendid new big Zed

The Z750 quietly got on with being one of the best Kawasakis for years. Is the new model ready to kick more middleweight ass?

Harder, sharper and more track focused than ever before. The new ZX-6R challenges you to a fight down at your local race track. He who reaches his limit first, loses.

Fancy an ER-6 but find it a bit too small? The Versys offers relief. John Hogan rides Kawasaki's lanky new 'any road' tool.

Haven't I seen you before somewhere? Deja-vu strikes as Urry rides Kawasaki's KLV1000.

Escape the rat race and get away from it all in the peace and quiet of Southern Ireland. Leave work at 5:30pm and the next day you could be here for just £82 plus a few tanks of fuel

I think it's fair to say the old ZZ-R1100 was more than a bit past its sell by date. I last rode one about three years ago, on a flat out European speed mission in the company of a Suzuki Hayabusa and Honda Blackbird.

And so to the 2002 ZX-9R, also tweaked for this year and feeling distinctly healthier for it. The motor feels the same, but the handling (once adjusted) is definitely better...

NOW WITH 36cc EXTRA FREE! If you can't beat 'em, cheat. Works for us and there's a decent chance it'll work for Kawasaki as they wheel out their new oversquare 636cc ZX-6R. Any good or dead horse flogged?

As Splitting Heirs contests go, this would seem the most one-sided fight yet. Only it's not. Thought the ZZR1400 to be the ultimate speed king? Well, maybe you've never ridden a 2002 ZZR1200 then...

It was the maddest 1,000cc superbike in the world, then they tamed it. TWO rides both incarnations of the Kawasaki ZX-10R back to back...

Jim Bowen managed to completely spanner a ZX-10R the last time we put him on one. He has never been to the Qatar MotoGP circuit. So, who better to make a complete arse of himself...

The 2008 ZX-10R is a major step up, even if some of the feisty old character has been replaced by smooth sophistication.
