2021 Aprilia Tuono 660
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...
2021 Ducati Monster

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….

2021 BMW S 1000 R

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…

Video: ZX-10R v R1 – 44Tour Trailer
We rode Kawasaki’s 2016 ZX-10R and Yamaha’s R1 down to Parcmotor near Barcelona: 1000 road miles in every condition imaginable followed by two days of track spankings on one of Europe’s hidden gems. The result? This trailer. And some bits we couldn’t include for legal reasons. Like every good... Read more
Metzeler Roadtec 01 Review
Tyre manufacturers have become casualties of their own success in many ways. Outright grip levels and longevity have dramatically increased in recent times, so much so that average consumers aren’t visiting tyre suppliers/fitters as often – once every few years rather than annually. And nowadays, there are reams of... Read more
2016 Ducati TriOptions Cup Rd1: Silverstone
Racing, oh how I’ve missed you. Those long, derelict winter months have whizzed by and we could have done with a few extra weeks until the first 2016 British Superbike round at Silverstone. A hectic pre-season schedule involving zero pre-season testing (and budget) isn’t an ideal scenario, but that’s... Read more
OUT OF OFFICE…
This is just a heads-up, an out-of-office notice to our regulars. As some of you know, we’re off to sunnier climes in search of Spanish trackday nirvana next week, riding down through France (straight after Silverstone BSB) and northern Spain to Parcmotor for a two-day circuit extravaganza. Hopefully the... Read more
Video: James Hillier’s 2016 Kawasaki ZX-10R Superbike
As you probably would have gathered by now, we spent some time with James Hillier – the third fastest man ever to lap the Isle of Man TT course – down at his team base of Bournemouth Kawasaki in, erm, Bournemouth. There was our TT-based chat and Maccas drive-thru... Read more
Video trailer: Dream the Impossible
Inspirational legend and the world’s first paraplegic road racer, Talan Skeels-Piggins, is featured in this trailer by Speechless Films: Dream the Impossible. Proud comrade of 44Teeth, Talan went onto setup The Bike Experience – a charity that teaches riders with an array of disabilities how to get back on... Read more
Video: Ducati Hypermotard 939 Launch
Being a two-man ensemble has its obvious limitations, like spreading ourselves across the world in a quest for content leaving little time remaining to actually fulfil the job of running 44T.   Ducati’s launch of the Hypermotard 939 is a prime example: although the onboard lappery from Parcmotor and written...
