If you looked up ‘motorcycle character’ in the dictionary the Moto Guzzi, which is still built at their original factory on the banks of Lake Como, would be looking back at you, all doe-eyed, with its floppy, air-cooled cylinders sticking out each side

Fun, engaging and friendly

The super popular middleweight naked gets a whole host of updates making it the best MT-07 yet

Aprilia’s Tuono 457 shares its big sister’s spirit

Upgrades for 2025 are minimal, but they add up to an F900XR that’s slightly sharper handling and thanks to its higher level of standard equipment, better value.

It’s a genuine superbike with straight 'bars.

It still delivers brain-shredding acceleration when you open the taps, the chassis oozes feel in all conditions and its brakes are brutally powerful and packed with feel.

The most powerful and technologically advanced Speed Triple super-naked ever made

Yamaha’s new R9 mixes the friendly power delivery of an MT-09 with the sharp handling of a full-blown supersports weapon and a riding position that isn’t too extreme

A hell of a cheap ticket to ride

Bought this for daily commute and odd weekend trips. For the commute it is really good, easy to ride, and makes filtering a doddle. My commute is part motorway and part 30mph areas. I switch to EV in town and it has plenty of range for the end of my journey into work.It's rapid off the...

Power, induction howl, seating position, build quality and its fat organic looks. Great engine!

This bike is really good for beginners to get into some kind of faster riding or as their "first big bike", I equipped it with Dominator exhaust which has really good sound and the bike has never had an single issue within 18000km which consists mostly of hard riding on streets and some track...

A bit of bargain if you can get hold of a preregistration. A few dealers recently registered their stock in anticipation of the new 5b Euro emissions. A brilliantly torquey engine with a half decent chassis. Comfortable and easy to service.

The biggest tragedy with the Transcontinental and the entire R18 lineup is that it is compared to Harley's lineup. That is like comparing an M5 to a SRT Charger. They have subtle similarities in the fact they are a two door performance coupes but that's where the resemblance ends. The American is...

Typical Chinese quality, light, easy to handle, good on fuel, Bad points. Alas quality let's it down, soft metal stand, and crash bars. Low service times. Warranty time issue's. Your need to do lots of DIY jobs yourself. Not a bike I'd recommend, due to ongoing...

What can I say: it’s never let me down in 2 years, always brings a smile and is the most authentic neo classic available.

Dicey on loose gravel and gusty crosswinds. Tires are slippery on loose sand on pavement and more slippery on ice than I'd like but boast longer tread life. Typical of 125s is lack of power at highway speeds but then I get fantastic fuel mileage in 6th gear at around 7-8,000 rpm. Running in...

I changed my wheels for spoked, either CB250rs or CD250U. 18" back and front and the handling is much better especially with lower handlebars and a Goodridge front brake hose.

I like this bike a lot. It’s comfortable, quick and fun to ride, and fine for occasionally taking a pillion (one of my reasons for buying it). I bought it on a recommendation and would recommend it to others.
