New versus old. Compare new, 5 year old, 10yo and 15yo bikes of the same type…."
I like this one. It's something the motorbike magazines do from time to time, every GSXR750 ever or whatever. Makes for an interesting read, gives you an idea of progress and trends. Wouldn't even have to be such old ones, it could be more interesting to compare last year/this year with a specific model.

With the number of bikes getting nicked a test of alarms, ground anchors ,chains etc"
Quite a hard one to do, because it has to be destructive testing, and because a lot of lock companies quite sensibly won't want to take part if the test regime's remotely effective
(one of the big motorbike magazines once changed their test format for a locks grouptest because all but 2 lock providers refused to provide a sample when they said "We'll test with boltcroppers". So rather than go out and spend £2000 on locks in order to write an article that said "These all got cut instantly with boltcutters" and pissing off almost all of their advertisers, they just changed the test to include only ineffective attacks, and got sent the full selection of locks, all of which passed the reduced test. Marvellous)
