    We love the MT-09. Ever since its release, it’s proved itself a properly brilliant bit of kit which offers top performance and a rewarding ride in a surprisingly easy-to-live-with package – and it’s easy to see why it’s been such a success for Yamaha.

    Updates for the BMW S1000XR

    by

    While all eyes were on the news of the launch of the new R1300GS, BMW’s quietly revealed some serious changes to its long-legged sport-tourer.

But revised intakes and fresh mapping have…

    Used Bike Guide: SUZUKI SV650 (1999-2015)

But over the intervening 20-odd years it’s won the hearts and minds of an eclectic mix of riders who approve of its usability, affordability and versatility. It is truly…
