The old lioness doesn't give up so easily 11/1/15 The old lioness doesn't give up so easily

Despite the many years of difference in the design of these bikes, they both give a lot of pleasure on small roads. Let's just say that the grip on the handlebars is very different.

A family outing 7/14/15 A family outing

Oli the Belgian plunges us into the world of the Master of Torque. In addition to the stars, the MT-07 and MT-09, we take a ride on the MT-125, MT-03 and the first of its kind: the MT-01.

The best compromise? 8/21/14 The best compromise?

"Me, with my single-cylinder, I can drop anyone off on the twisty road!"; "My twin-cylinder has a hell of an engine brake, so I can wind up at ease!"; "With my three-legged, I can take you both on with my eyes closed!

When opponents shoot! 9/17/13 When opponents shoot!

For this issue, I wanted to compare the incomparable. Japanese custom bikers are a breed apart. Snubbed by Harley riders. And barely acknowledged by others. Yet these bikes can be a very interesting option when buying a "cool" two-wheeler.

Trail of the dunes or trail of the fields? 10/23/12 Trail of the dunes or trail of the fields?

Today's program: to challenge two major trails over 350 km, and above all to get the expert opinion of our two passengers for the day.

When Fat Bob and V-Rod Muscle go head-to-head... in front of a lady. 10/7/12 When Fat Bob and V-Rod Muscle go head-to-head... in front of a lady.

Thanks to Oli, my friendly neighbor, I was able to enjoy a week's riding on two magnificent Harley Davidsons. On the one hand the Fat Bob and on the other the V-Rod Muscle special 10th anniversary edition.
Here are my impressions after testing these two splendid machines.

Here's the final word on the Harley / KTM / Yamaha's / Suzuki comparison. First, I was going to try the FZ8 on its own... But the arrival of the GSR 750 changed all that!

Why are the others backing down? 9/12/11 Why are the others backing down?
The 2 most powerful missiles on the planet go head-to-head, judged by Oli the Belgian. 200 hp per machine, torque to tear up the speedways, madness to get speed freaks hooked.

Are they all asleep today or what? 9/12/11 Are they all asleep today or what?
Some tests put pressure on you: "Am I good enough for this type of machine? Will I be able to tame the power, or will I be reasonable enough not to push it to the limit?" But with passion taking precedence over reason, I feverishly awaited my appointment with KTM ..

Fight Boys 9/12/11 Fight Boys

We're staying with roadsters, with two rivals on the French motorcycle market. Two sporty and more or less versatile bikes: the Z 750 VS the FZ6! One looks flashy, aggressive and unique - the other classier and more charming. Two motorcycles not to be put in every hand, offering outstanding riding sensations to those who know how to exploit them to the full.

Your X to 2 or 4 . TIME! 9/12/11 Your X to 2 or 4 . TIME!
A trip back in time! That was my first impression when I got behind the handlebars of the XT 125 X, not because of its lines, which are very much in tune with the times, but rather because of the power available, which forces you to anticipate any overtaking manoeuvre like in the good old days of our 5Occ!

With just over 6,000 euros, two or four legs? 7/6/10 With just over 6,000 euros, two or four legs?
For the first time in my "career", I'm organizing a real Lambda biker's comparo. After an improbable duel between 2 Harleys, trying to find the differences between 2 200 hp bikes, and discovering my mediocre riding skills on two racing roadsters, I'm lucky enough to ride 2 bikes that are in the top 10 of the Belgian registration list.

History versus manga 4/26/10 History versus manga
I'm still wondering how I came to compare 2 such different models The XR 1200 had been on my test calendar since the start of the season, and I really wanted to put it up against another such offbeat machine....laquelle ?.... After a bit of research, I came across another concept bike I hadn't yet tested: the sculptural B-King. And the fun begins!

Starting with the same 660 cm3 single-cylinder, Yamaha has come up with 3 machines and as many philosophies. Oli the Belgian pitted the MT-03 against the XTR, with the XTZ Ténéré as referee and challenger.

One of the queens of cruising takes on a spicy hot-rod. Oli the Belgian straddles 2 cousins, from the same family, with American blood but very different temperaments.

The following test is rather difficult to name. It will not be a comparison, but rather an exchange of impressions.
