Honda Motorcycle Reviews

Much more flexible than the Italian 125s in restricted form and cheaper, too

Our RC45 had been re-painted in the Castrol Honda colours of a TT marshal’s bike, which was a shame. The ‘Groundwork Southeast’ logo under the seat looked especially uninviting. The ’45 was never a pretty bike but has always had a squat, purposeful stance to it.

The Honda ST1100 Pan European was one of those bikes that quietly got on with doing the job it was designed to do. And that was to provide something just short of a full-dress touring bike in a slightly more manageable (and cheaper) form, at the behest of the European, not US, market.

While it's never going to set the world alight, the CG rarely causes any dramas either

De-tuned CBR1000F motor still delivers enough power for this naked heavyweight

Want it all? You're not alone. The CBR600F is Britain's best-selling motorbike of all time and not without good reason: it really is all things to all men (and women). Plenty of people overlook it in favour of its racy stable-mate, the newer 'double-R' CBR600RR.

I stumbled across a mint 1992 twin headlight FireBlade a few months ago, nestling inconspicuously among the massed ranks of used bikes at a local dealership, and it stopped me dead in my tracks and sucked me straight back to 1992.

Paris-Dakar rally replica. Reliable, economical motor lacks performance

Honda's baby Fireblade. An instant classic, almost everyone's owned one. Finding a good one these days is quite hard...

Perfect urban commuter. Good value for money and a courier's favourite
