Ducati Hypermotard 939

Simply put, Ducati’s new Hypermotard 939 is a weapon. It’s lean and mean, with a healthy dose of thumping power to justify the ‘supermoto on steroids’ look that sets it apart from everything else on the road. This motorcycle shook up the world when it debuted in the ca

Secondhand Kawasaki Versys 650L ABS 2010-2014

Contrary to the opinion of a lot of hard-core Kawasaki enthusiasts, there’s more to the brand than its bitumen-burning in-line fours. The fact that it has some lovely 650cc LAMS-approved twins in its line-up is great for motorcycling newbies who are fans of the ‘Big K’. In

Harley-Davidson CVO Pro Street Breakout

When it comes to breaking out of the big house, there could be fewer bigger incentives to twine a long length of rope from discarded dental floss and scale a barbwire-topped prison wall than to have a Harley-Davidson CVO Pro Street Breakout waiting for you on the outside as your

Suzuki DR-650 Bike Five LAMS ADVENTURE SPECIAL

Although it may seem premature to get on a 650cc bike at the start of your off-roading life, the big DR has attributes which would make it an excellent first adventure bike. It has a very modest power output for its size, but enough grunt to make it worth the weight penalty compa

Yamaha WR250R- BIKE SIX LAMS ADVENTURE SPECIAL

Youngy is a bit of a freak. Point him at a hill, no matter how steep (to me it looks like a sheer vertical, but in reality it must be all of 30º), and up he goes. What’s more, he flies up it like he’s riding a proper 450 enduro, even though he’s on the donkey DR650. Bugger
