    Tim Neave rides Kawasaki’s new 500s. Here’s what Tim told MoreBikes: I get so used to riding big bikes that it’s often all too easy to overlook the smaller-capacity motorcycles – and just like myself, good things come in small packages. With the European midrange markets looking as healthy as ever, this is exactly where…

It is MV’s first new bike to be released in a few years now, and it’s a bold statement to decide to go down the…

    You might have wondered whether the name ‘Daytona’ was to be lost in the annals of Triumph’s rife sporting history, but with the introduction of the 660, it’s supposed to be alive and kicking once more. Bruce Wilson found out: Hot off the heels of arguably one of the most loved and best-selling middleweight sportsbikes…

    John McAvoy has put almost 300 miles on the ZX-6R in less than a month. Is he happy? When I spent a few days on the ZX-6R a few issues ago, I was so taken by it that I dropped Kawasaki UK a line and asked if I could keep it on long-term loan. To…

    Christmas is coming and it’s maybe time to start dropping hints. These look nice! A CE-approved riding boot in a slick trainer style, the Tachi boot features a natural gum sole and perforated synthetic upper with silver 3M reflective fabric and a waterproof membrane. There’s full CE protection, and extra comfort from a ballistic nylon…

    Editor Bruce Wilson gets his head around (and in) the Aeron GP from Shark… I never like to take chances when it comes to riding kit, with perhaps the biggest red line being what I put on my head. After all, you’ve only got one of them, so why risk it? That said, price can…

    Yamaha’s long-awaited R9 sportsbike is quite a tempting little proposition on the quiet. Yamaha’s gone above and beyond our expectations in some respects, giving the new upper-middleweight sportster some classy chassis components and a new lightweight bespoke aluminium frame, as well as modern aerodynamic bodywork with winglets. But with peak power output of 117bhp and…

    We saw most of this earlier in the summer; the new Husqvarna 801 roadster has already been released in Svartpilen (black arrow) scrambler form, and for 2025 we get the other option, the Vitpilen (white arrow). As with the smaller models in the Husqvarna road bike range, both bikes share the basic engine and frame…

    One for the gothic Ducatisti out there: a brace of new Scrambler 800 models to its line-up for 2025. The new Icon Black and Full Throttle models cater to a perhaps-niche sector: goths who like rorty, classy, novice-friendly V-twin roadsters, with both new models available in black only. The Full Throttle does add some classy…

    KTM’s finally unveiled its automatic transmission for 2025 – and it’s pleasingly different from the three other set ups we’ve seen this year already from Honda, BMW and Yamaha. KTM’s AMT takes a different route from those systems, opting to use a mechanical centrifugal clutch rather than a computer-controlled electronic clutch actuator unit. That simple…

    DUCATI: 2025 Multistrada V4 range updates

    by

    –

    Alan Dowds reports… There’s definitely an argument that the mighty Multistrada V4 doesn’t need too much in the way of updates (£5k off the asking price would be our favourite 2025 upgrade but then we are very cheap). The unique V4 Granturismo engine, saucy chassis, heaps of luxury touring kit and incredible performance make it…
