When word got out about the RS 660, we were all pretty gosh darn excited. We rode the RS last year and, despite not being able to firmly place it in a particular motorcycle genre, were pretty impressed with its peachy little engine, the way it handled and its space-age tech. That said, the...
When you’ve sold as many Monsters as Ducati have – more than 350,000 – you know you’re onto a winner. But whilst the Monster 1200 always seemed to be exactly what it said on the tin (a Monster), its smaller sibling, the Monster 900 never seemed quite as monstrous as I’d have liked….
BMW has finally given the S 1000 R a long-overdue update; it’s 5.1kg lighter, it’s got a new chassis and yes, before you ask, it does include the newer spec S 1000 RR based engine… sort of. Ok, it’s not in the same 200bhp+ state of tune and you don’t get shifting cams, but essentially, it’s…
It’s that time of year again. That time of year when I’m bordering on morbid obesity after a Christmas of indulgence, the leathers don’t fit, exercise is futile and fucking Mini Eggs are teasing me in every shop I enter. The good news is, it’s only a few months... Read more
The latest influx of technology being debuted in 2015 is getting us seriously aroused: everything from auto-blippers to pit lane limiters, 6-axis gyros to lean-angle displays, and iPhones that control a bike’s rider aids all have a welcome place, adding safety (a bit important), speed (important) and fun (exceptionally...

After a long, fresh winter’s day in the saddles, 44Teeth sat down to discuss all things S1K, and just how good the 2015 BMW S 1000 RR is. Praise the lord for heated grips and coffee, and Bahnstormer BMW… We stopped off at Loomies Cafe just outside Alton and... Read more
Launched late in 2011, the Ducati Panigale has always been a thing of outstanding beauty – maybe too beautiful in a fashion-over-function approach if we’re talking pure dynamics. You’d come in after a session, sweating, shaking, checking for skidmarks and ready for bed, thinking you’d broken the lap record or a... Read more
Following the overwhelmingly popular response we had with the new BMW S 1000 RR, it makes sense to get you guys involved in the next instalment of 2015: 44Teeth are off to Portimao this weekend for the world press launch of the Ducati 1299 Panigale… While Chaz and Dave, and the... Read more
Weeks after announcing a commercial partnership with Mercedes AMG, we got to sample MV Agusta’s latest addition to its ever-expanding range: the Stradale 800. You might be looking at the Stradale and thinking it’s a sports-tourer, and you’d be forgiven for such naivety. But this isn’t just any old... Read more
When BMW rolled the S1K into the public domain complete with heated grips, people laughed. We were the ones laughing this week after big miles and even bigger smiles onboard the 2015 RR in sub-zero temperatures and greasy roads, all with snuggly, entirely functioning digits. Keen to do the... Read more
We’ve got our hands on the epic 2015 BMW S 1000 RR this week. Having ridden the bike at the world press launch at Monteblanco, it’s safe to say the Beemer is über fast on track. But what’s it like back in the UK, back in the real world?... Read more
The other day, someone asked us what will happen to motorcycling this year, so we gazed into the 44Teeth crystal meth ball to reveal the (possible) highlights* of 2015… January – As most of January is done now, we’ll go straight to February as there’s less to get wrong, therefore slashing...

Pics: Red Bull/KTM As the 2015 Dakar draws to a close for another year, the toughest race on earth has been another toughie. The extent of its exertion and harsh reality hits home with loss of life, huge crashes and numerous injuries. This isn’t a glamorous tour of South... Read more
We’ve all seen ‘that’ video. It’s quite possibly the video of 2015 and we’ve only just started. That video (at the bottom of the page) is Ducati’s teaser snippet of the forthcoming 1299 Panigale being spanked around Imola by the factory’s official test rider, Alessandro Valia. Alessandro isn’t limited... Read more
In between delivering engaging content and sleeping, we’ve been busy trying to insure our arses, and the machinery, in order to continue with this content deliverance. It ain’t easy, this insurance malarky, but we’ve stumbled across a company offering trackday cover for the masses. After dealing with specialist underwriters,... Read more
