More and more boxes are arriving for next year’s steed, but until then I’ve been keeping myself busy in just about any way I can. And by keeping myself busy, I actually mean that somehow I managed to blag myself into getting a KTM RC390 to ride in the RC Cup; the one-make series alongside the MCE British Superbike Championship. Now, I’m not going to go into too much detail as you’ll be able to read my story in full in a nice juicy feature I’m working on for a coming issue, but needless to say I had a right blast and was buzzing to be out on track.

SPORTSBIKE SURPRISE FROM SUZUKI...2026 GSX-R1000R
Sometimes, when you see a 'new' bike in the mag, we've known about it for ages. Maybe not all the precise details, but it's been pretty obvious what's on the way and what it's likely to be all about.

RC30:HONDA'S HOMOLOGATION HERO
The A4 piece of paper on the fuel tank left there by its owner contained a potted history of the bike, the knack of how to start it, and a few of its quirks to look out for, my particular favourite being: “Front brake pads are about 20 years old, so pretty f***ed, and the rear brake does little but make the wheel dusty.\"

After months of whispers, blurry spy shots and internet pub-talk, the Solihull crew has just ticked off a major milestone: the big boss of TVS Motor Company, Sudarshan Venu, has been out thrashing it round a private track in the UK. And if that's not a green light for excitement, we don't know what is.

V4 TRICOLORE: NEXT-LEVEL...
If the RC30 is the epitome of smoothness and refinement, the Panigale is the very definition of violence and overwhelming levels of performance. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t refined or unsophisticated because it is all of those things, which — on the road, at least — is one of its greatest tricks... out of many.
