    Bikes with auto gearboxes seem to be the ‘in thing’ right now, with recent additions to the market coming from BMW, KTM, Honda and, now, Yamaha. John McAvoy gave the latter brand’s new, fancy Y-AMT system a spin to see whether it’s the gamechanger we’re looking for.  This isn’t the first time that Yamaha have…

    It’s often overlooked for its fancier retro sister, the Z900 RS, but Kawasaki’s Z900 is a big hit with its owners, and sits nicely inbetween the mental supercharged Z H2 and the smaller Z650 twin naked. It’s been overlooked a bit by Kawasaki too arguably: But no longer. For 2025, the 124bhp inline-four 948cc motor…

    Tiger, Speed Twin and Trident news for 2025… Tiger Sport 800 Déjà vu? Well, yes – the Hinckley firm sold a Tiger 800 model between 2010-2019, but it’s keen to stress this new machine has nothing to do with the old ‘un.

    I know what you’re thinking – didn’t we do this already?  Well, yes: Honda first showed the new Hornet 1000 off around this time last year, as a 2024 model. It’s kinda heartening to think that the enormous moto-industrial complex which is Honda is just like us: Project bikes taking much longer than you thought…

    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.
