  2. After riding the GSR for the first few miles there was only one modification that I could see needed to be made, to fit a tail tidy and get rid of the huge piece of plastic hanging off the rear... More...
  3. Over the months that I've owned the Monster, many have asked me "What's it like?" My default answer is "A real, good, honest motorcycle". Which sounds like damning it with faint praise; that's far from my intention. What I mean... More...
  4. Just when I was learning to love the V7 Classic and its gentle take on motorcycling life, it has been snatched away from me. Moto Guzzi have reclaimed it, and sent it on a far more glamourous mission: it must... More...
  5. It’s the most powerful and refined F4 MV Agusta has ever produced. Making a claimed 201bhp at the crank, it just pips the ZX-10R’s 200.1bhp crank figure to make the Italian beauty the most powerful 2011 road-going superbike. It has... More...
  6. ADVERTISING PROMOTION If you are in the market for a new helmet – or other biking accessories – check out Lidsdirect.co.uk Lidsdirect.co.uk is the fastest growing online motorcycle helmet, clothing and accessories retailer. There are many top brands stocked and... More...
  7. MCN will be out and about in the coming months visiting bike meets across Britain - we could be visiting your local bike meet! Tonight (Thursday August 25) MCN will be at the Vic Bikers Pub,Coalville, Leicestershire from 6pm onwards. Come along... More...
  8. The imposing bulk of Kawasaki's new VN1700 Voyager Custom has just landed on UK soil, sending a shudder through the large touring cruiser market. But how scared should the American competition be of the new V-twin? MCN embarked on two... More...
  9. With the advent of electronics and near-200bhp power outputs, it's easy to forget just how good the sports bikes of 2005 were. They had huge power - up to around 160bhp - yet were tractable in the midrange, were designed... More...

  15. Here is a concept I design as a collaboration between Bimota and Moto Morini. It's called "Mutòr" (which means motorcycle in the dialect of Romagna). It wants to be the icon of Italian style sports bikes. More...
  16. This is the last British-built Brough Superior, and potentially the last example of what was once the most desirable marque in motorcycling. Produced by brothers Les and Dave Card, it was the final SS100-based machine created before rights to the... More...

  22. After the BMW K1600GTL-Knockhill video I started editing the movies from the tour on the K1600 through Scotland. Part one started with a rough boat trip. More...
  23. Ross Noble, stand up comedian, bike enthusiast and enduro racer, embarked on the Sit Down Tour in May to celebrate half a million bikes being produced at the Hinckley factory. The tour of the UK was made on the 500,000th... More...

  25. I just recently fulfilled a long time ambition to have a ride-out down to the Ace Cafe on my Yamaha RD350 LC, which I bought 10 years ago and immediately started to dismantle and restore, and was something I thought... More...
