5. 2017 IN-LINE-FOUR SUPERBIKE SHOOTOUT

The superbike class has been completely revitalised in the space of four years.
Back in 2014, it was looking a bit stagnant, with sales in decline and a shortage of major model developments.

Then Yamaha gave the market a big boot up the backside in 2015 with the new YZF-R1, featuring radical new electronics, not to mention styling. BMW launched a comprehensively redesigned S1000RR the same year (although the old one was so good it barely needed to catch up).

Kawasaki answered with a heavily updated ZX-10R in 2016. And now, finally, after making us wait so long we’d begun to wonder whether it would ever happen, Honda and Suzuki have answered with the new Fireblade and GSX-R1000R respectively.

4. SUZUKI GSX-S750

Whatever the GSR750 is like as a motorcycle, at least the name contains an arrangement of letters that's easy to say. You wouldn’t stumble over them or find people say “A what?”

Suzuki has fixed that for 2017 by giving the GSR the same awkward designation as the bigger naked bike in the range, the GSX-S1000.

So this is the GSX-S750, creating lineage where before there was randomness.

The name isn’t the only update. It’s been restyled to look more like the GSX-S1000 too, with new bodywork. Previously a belly pan was available as an accessory but now you get one for nothing.

3. KAWASAKI Z900 Review First Ride

Visordown Motorcycle Reviews: Kawasaki's naked Z-range is one of the pillars of the green brand from Japan-land.

It began in the early '70s when the mighty Z1 made its entrance and now one of the bastions of the range, the Z800 is being replaced by a new model – the Z900.

It’s got big shoes to fill - Kawasaki has shifted over 200,000 Z800s and its Z750 predecessor, although that also means the new Z900 has a lot of potential customers, which is why Kawasaki expects the Z900 to be its second biggest seller this year and it'll be offering demo rides.
