    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).

    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).
