MoreBikes Editor Ross has been putting some motorcycle textiles from Held through their paces. Here’s what he thinks: I’ve never worn Held gear before, but the German firm has been on my radar for years. They’re seriously popular on the continent – and when you take a look at the range of their kit, it’s…

Chris Moss reports back on his 5 months so far on the ‘Strom… Life was going well. Riding my V-Strom in lovely weather en route to see my Dad, I couldn’t have been more content. And then the joy was suddenly put on hold. After clocking over 90 miles of the 100-mile journey, I heard…

4th December 2023

£1000-£3000 We love Yamaha’s TDM850. It was ahead of its time when it was first released back in the early 90s, offering top road manners in a trail bike-esque package.

It wasn’t particularly on-trend, offering neither the off-road capable all-rounder abilities of a ‘traditional’ adventure bike which were in vogue at the time, nor the eye-widening performance of a more focused sporty tourer. But it’s a brilliant bike, superbly put together (it’s…

Honda’s XR, Kawasaki’s KLR and Suzuki’s DR snapped up sales left, right and centre, offering just the right balance of off-road prowess and usable road manners. But if you like your bikes rugged and a little bit raucous, there are only a handful of options that fit…
