Ducati Monster

Nick Hine tests Ducati's Monster. The original naked motorcycle, the Ducati Monster created an overnight sensation when it was launched over a decade ago. Today, it defines the class more than ever. An essential street fighter - with its fully exposed engine and bodywork - the Monster delivers style and real sport bike performance. This year, the Monster S4R, the first in the high-performance Monster SR dynasty, is joined by the new S2R. Classic versions of the bike, which have made this family so popular, include the agile 620 and the powerful 1000.

Toyota Yaris

Darryl Kelbrick tests Toyota's Yaris. Although it's not particularly likely to top the sales charts, the second generation Yaris goes straight to the top of the supermini segment in terms of desirability. It's certainly packing lots of visual character, from the charismatic contours of its bonnet to the perfectly formed rear end. And, more importantly, it's also packed with useful features.

Darryl Kelbrick

Darryl has spent most of his life in and around vehicles of one sort or another. A spell of rallying in the late 80's led into a long career in the motor industry working closely with many different manufacturer dealership networks, and covering ten of thousands of miles in all sorts of everyday cars. Latterly, a frustration with the lack of clear and accurate information for the everyday used car buyer led to the establishment of DrivenandRidden.com. He certainly knows his ESP from his ABS and if its got four wheels, he'll definitely have an opinion on it!

If it's got wheels he's probably driven or ridden it.
