Derbi GPR50R

Advantages: speed, looks, "street cred", handling, comfort
Disadvantages: fairing easily damaged, side stand untrustworthy, parts relatively expensive, oil warning light can be temperamental

...when I was 16 I was desperate to get on the road like most 16 year olds I sat my CBT a week after my 16th birthday and was thrilled to be "mobile", my first bike was a TS50 which I found slow and loud! so i started shopping about, I came across the Derbi GPR50R which I had to have, It had the full race sticker set and looked the biz. Stock horsepower is rated at 9HP, and I've heard rumours that the engine can make upwards of 20HP with the addition of an 80cc big bore kit, carb and performance exhaust, but I didnt go for that as it was illegal as I was meant to have a 50cc, and my bike did 70 mph anyway de-restricted. which is fast enough for a 50cc. Ergonomically, the bike was great. You'd probably have a really hard time convincing people that it was only a 50cc and that it was licensed as a scooter (until they see you leave...

Review of Derbi GPR 50 R

Samsung R50 is good price/performance laptop

Advantages: Very Good Laptop for Audio/Video and commercial applications
Disadvantages: Too many preloaded Samsung software.

...I have been using Samsung R50 Since last six months which was bought in Germany. I have been using five different laptops in last 7 years and have never been 100% satisfied by any one of them. The brands which I have used are like HP, Sony, Dell, Toshiba and Samsung and the search still goes on. May be my expectations from my laptops are high. Here I will be comparing and reviewing Samsung R50 with other Laptops in the market. Why I bought Samsung R50 Samsung is one of the Global leading brands in electronics. Samsung is comparatively a newcomer in the PC/laptop market. But I was aware that Samsung was a leading manufacturer and supplier to all major brands like HP,Dell,IBM etc. Samsung is one of the leading PC/laptop component manufacturer like LCD Screens, RAM memory, Hard disk etc. hence it made sense that the same company is...

Tesco DVD +R 50pk

Advantages: Cheap annd Reliable
Disadvantages: Spindle casing the DVDs are packaged in not suitable for storing DVDs once opened

...This 'write once' pack of DVD +R is great value. At the moment Tesco are retailing these at £14.97 which works out to be about 30p each The pack comes in as a spindle pack with no covers. They are write once only at max speed of x8 and have a storage capacity of 4.7GB each. The +R format can be used in the following DVD machines: Technika Bush Alba Daewoo Goodmans Matsui Philips The following machines are also compatible with +R as well as -R Sony LG Liteon Sharp The hardware that only caters for -R and therefore cannot use the +R format are: Hitachi JVC Panasonic Pioneer Samsung Toshiba The spindle pack the DVDs come in is very flimsy cheap plastic so once opened the original casing is not very good to store the blank DVDs. However, this is a minor quibble considering the price they retail at...

Samsung PS50B451

Advantages: Brillaint TV
Disadvantages: Hard to get used to

...One of the TVs in my house has just been replaced, we was lucky enough to get a deal on the Samsung PS50b451 instead of it costing around the £700 asking price a friend of ours used her staff discount and along with some vouchers, the TV cost us around £350 which is brilliant for what it is. bit of a bargain actually. I thought I would review it to see if it is actually worth the £700 asking price to those who aren?t as lucky as us to have a friend who works in a shop that sells them. Why choose this one? The reason that we choose this particular TV is that we wanted one in the 50 inch size range to replace the old one, and when we had a look at the range available we found that this one was not only the cheapest for what it is, but also we found that this one was the better looking of the three we narrowed our choice down to...

The Canon EOS 50D superb image quality.

Advantages: Superb image quality, well built, High resolution, low noise, Excellent spec.
Disadvantages: Only minor gripes, no CF card included, large and heavy compared to some.

...The Canon EOS 50D This review is based on my own reviews of this camera elsewhere (Amazon) and has been edited for the pupose of posting on here, I hope you will find it useful. I bought this camera almost as soon as it was released, so I have had plenty of time to get used to it, and test it fully before writing this review. Overview The first thing you notice is that this is not a small lightweight camera, but is a solid well built camera designed for serious use, yet despite it's size and weight it is still easy to hold and is comfortable to use, for those of you that have used the EOS 40D it has the same body shell as that, and has the advantage of using the same accessories as the EOS 40D as well. The menu's are well laid out and easy to use making this camera easy to set up and use, the large...

Review of Canon EOS 50D

IMAGINE having 50 first dates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Advantages: great acting
Disadvantages: a bit questioning

...Yet again Woolworths comes involve for yet another review. They had put 2 DVDs really cheap, unfortunately I was not there to get them, but my mom was so I had no option but to watch these 2 films. These 2 films were 50 First Dates and Maid in Manhattan. They were both only £5 each so it was definitely worth it, according to both my mom and Woolworths. This film follows a girl called Lucy, who had a very fatal car accident, and she is diagnosed with amnesia, so every single day she thinks that it's the day of her accident. However, this person called Henry, is new in Hawaii and meets her one day, at a cafe. He doesn't know she has amnesia and all of a sudden the say they'll meet each other the next day, only she had totally forgotten about that arrangement. Then Henry has a really good idea, but will it work, or will it not work...

Review of 50 First Dates (DVD)

R32 is the best - *UPDATED*

Advantages: Performance, Build, Style, Exclusivity, Noise, Comfort
Disadvantages: Economy

...After 3 years and 54,000 miles, driving a Civic Type-R is hard work. Yes, the seats are comfy, yes the handling is pin-sharp and, yes it is good fun to drive down twisty country lanes. But 4,000rpm at motorway speeds makes for a very noisy place to be. Firm suspension isn't kind on the back and the lack of extras leave it feeling a little Spartan. So despite all the plus-points, motorway driving, which makes up most of my miles, is a chore. With my contract up for renewal I needed something a bit more "mature". Something a bit less boy-racer. Something that I could give a lift to colleagues in without them having to clamber through passenger door to the back. Something a bit more comfortable than the bare-bones Honda. That said, I also wanted something that had a bit of "poke" yet remained practical (at least in some sense...

Review of Volkswagen Golf R32

What Type-R You?

Advantages: Performance, Handling, Practicality, Price
Disadvantages: Insurance, Comfort

...Let's get this straight from the start. Some people see driving simply as a means of getting from A to B as comfortably as possible, others see driving as a means of getting from A to B with as much kit in the car as possible, yet more folks see driving as a chore to be tolerated and finally there's those to whom driving is a pleasure in itself. The Honda Civic Type-R is not a car for comfort. It is not a car for lugging huge loads (although it is actually rather spacious) and it's not someting you would want to drive with a heavy heart. Oh no. The Civic Type-R is an out-and-out drivers car, designed to tweak every last ounce of enjoyment from even the most mundane of runs down to the corner shop. The R is for Racing and the Civic Type-R is the latest in the distinguished Type-R line, following in the wake of the now legendary Integra...

F50+ review

Advantages: big surface area, changeable insoles.....
Disadvantages: if you don't spray them then....

...I bought my F50+'s on Boxing Day of last year they cost me £50.00 from JJB Sports. They are incredibly well price considering what you are getting for £50.00; they come with changeable insoles which let you pick what the right comfort is, e.g. 'speed' (a nice light insole that will make you lighter on the pitch and therefore quicker, then you have 'comfort' (a cushiony insole that is good if you are playing on hard ground), then the 'professional' insoles (which are inbetween the 'speed' and the 'comfort' insoles. They come in a neat smart little Velcro bag that looks great and is a cool way to keep your insoles in. Unlike most boots the F50+'s have the laces hidden under a Velcro tongue, which comes down over the laces to make a better surface area for controlling the ball and for shooting at goal with the ball. Because of this...

Marshall DSL 50 - Pure Rock Heaven!

Advantages: All the authentic classic rock tones you will ever need. Sounds amazing. Simple. Great value.
Disadvantages: Some features not foot-switchable which limits its potential. Clean/Crunch volume difference.

...something its not. They have been built the same way for decades and Marshall stick to what they know best. The DSL 50 has that unmistakeable Marshall sound and I absolutely love it! In my opinion, this amp performs best when the raw sound of the amp is left to come through, uncoloured by FX pedals. The clean setting is warm and full bodied and just sounds awesome. I've previously used a fender twin and although that clean sound was superb there is something about the marshall that i just feel more confident with, but that's all down to personal preference. With the 'Deep' switch on, the clean can be a little bass heavy for my liking but its in no way flabby or muddy, just a bit too warm. The crunch setting is what you'd expect from a Marshall - authentic sounding classic crunch tones. I don't like the difference in volume between clean...
