  • CF MOTO 450NK (2024-on)

    MCN rating
    4 out of 5 (4/5)

    Significantly cheaper than its rivals and matching them on performance and tech, the 450NK’s tempting price tag will certainly catch the eye of A2-licence riders.

  • ENFIELD GUERRILLA 450 (2024-on)

    MCN rating
    4 out of 5 (4/5)

    Impressive spec, handling, and useability for less than £5000 makes the Guerrilla 450 a seriously tempting proposition

  • KOVE 800X PRO (2024-on)

    MCN rating
    4 out of 5 (4/5)

    Brand new offering from Kove has all the ingredients to be a genuine contender in the middleweight adventure bike class

  • CF MOTO 800NK ADVANCED (2024-on)

    MCN rating
    4 out of 5 (4/5)

    If you are comparing like-for-like, and ignoring the name on the tank, it’s a very tempting sporty middleweight and incredible value for money

  • YAMAHA MT-09 SP (2024-on)

    MCN rating
    4 out of 5 (4/5)

    More composed and capable than the regular MT-09, as well as feeling more of a true sports edition, justifying the SP tag better

  • YAMAHA WR450F (2024-on)

    MCN rating
    5 out of 5 (5/5)

    This is a 450 that thinks it’s a 250, it loves to dive into the tight stuff; hopping and bopping through the Welsh woods felt almost effortless

  • BMW S1000XR (2020-on)

    MCN rating
    4 out of 5 (4/5)

    As before the XR is still a classy all-rounder that can dish out savage performance one minute and be happy at cruising in comfort the next

  • SUZUKI GSF650 BANDIT (2005-2006)

    Overall owners' rating
    3 out of 5 (3/5)

    Metal on metal slab that refuses to die , is easy to work on..and no matter how many times you have to fix things,it will keep on waking up for a very small price asked from your wallet. it's not special but it is definitely honest! Mostly as standard as bikes get,but there's a few things...

  • HUSQVARNA SVARTPILEN 401 (2024-on)

    Overall owners' rating
    5 out of 5 (5/5)

    Could not be happier. Down sized from an 800GS. I was tired of the weight and looks. Fancied something for the empty B roads in the Scottish Borders that could also do the simple forest trails which are well gravelled and the pot holed lanes. Always loved the looks of Husky bikes but had never...

  • SUZUKI SV1000 (2003-2007)

    Overall owners' rating
    5 out of 5 (5/5)

    Incredibly enjoyable, cheap and reliable analog big V-Twin. Not one second is boring on it.

  • YAMAHA FZ8 (2010-on)

    Overall owners' rating
    4 out of 5 (4/5)

    Fantastic inline 4 for the money, still looks good today.

  • TRIUMPH STREET SCRAMBLER (2019-on)

    Overall owners' rating
    5 out of 5 (5/5)

    Best features: looks, sound, analogue gearbox, feel. Decent in the twisties, as well as at easy green-laning. Simple and delightful.Worst features: rear shock is weak as. Switching modes not as smooth as it could be imo.If you buy it, judge it for what it is. It's not a Dakar bike,...

  • BMW R1250RT (2019-on)

    Overall owners' rating
    5 out of 5 (5/5)

    Sensational bike. Great at everything, even commuting unless only tiny filtering spaces. Touring, twisties, two-up, town work: does it all extremely well.Sometimes I wonder what I'd buy if it got stolen. I don't think I could see past another one.However, it is not a 'joyful' bike...

  • BMW R1300GS (2023-on)

    Overall owners' rating
    5 out of 5 (5/5)

    Bene: Motore (erogazione e coppia, bassi i consumi), precisione di guida, maneggevolezza, frenata, sospensioni, illuminazione, protezione aerodinamica, personalizzazione (optional e accessori) Male: Cambio elettro-assistito (migliorabile), peso nelle manovre da...

  • YAMAHA FJR1300 AE (2016-2021)

    Overall owners' rating
    5 out of 5 (5/5)

    The best feature is that I like the look and feel, the riding position, and the smoothness of the motor. Handling is on par or better than most big bikes I have owned, but I feel inspired when riding this bike, and not all bikes can accomplish this. It wouldn't matter if I had ten bikes in the...

  • APRILIA SR GT 125 (2022-on)

    Overall owners' rating
    4 out of 5 (4/5)

    Having ridden motorcycles all my life (65 YO) I fancied trying a scooter. Initially bought a Honda Vision 110cc which was great fun but wanted a slightly higher cruising speed to go further afield. This cruises at a true 60mph and is a good looking fun, lightweight bike that isn’t too fast...
