    TESTED: Triumph Daytona 660

    by

    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…

    LONG-TERMER: Our Kawasaki ZX-6R

    by

    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…

    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…

    HUSQVARNA: The Vitpilen 801

    by

    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).

    KTM: Auto gearbox details released

    by

    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

    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…
