CREEPING UP
DUCATI PANIGALE 959 AT VALENCIA
Ducati’s Panigale is a design classic, says the man
on staff with a garage full of Ducatis. But with the
introduction of the 959, the
middleweight
moniker
should be laid to rest.
Yamaha’s chipper Bolt is good value for
the pound, but hoist if off the sidestand
impulsively and you’ll strip the threads
from your nuts and bolts.

SINKING DOWN
LESS FOR LESS OR MORE FOR LESS?
James Nixon began the winter of his discontent by tormenting OEMs for
technical information they had often not yet received. For this he receives our
thanks and a weekly pittance.
Sleeved down cylinders and shrunken pistons make the
Scout Sixty the Scout for cheapskates. Roland Brown
would likely argue that that’s an oversimplification.
