Honda CB500, CBR500R and NX500

The big H unveiled something for everyone, from a heavily-updated Fireblade for the superbike fans, to a fully revamped CB500 twin range for novices and lightweight machine fans. Add in two new Hornets a 1000 and 500 - to join the popular 750, plus clever new E-clutch technology and even the return of the CBR600RR, and you have a properly mouthwatering line-up of new 2024 machinery...

CBR1000 RR Fireblade

At first glance, you might struggle to see what's different about the 2024 Fireblade. Indeed, subtle changes to the front fairing aero winglets aside, the sweet red/white/ blue HRC-painted RR SP version looks mighty similar to last year's bike.

Suzuki GSX-S1000 GX

Thought that Suzuki was content to leave the ADV touring sector to its elderly, but solid, V-Strom range? Us too, but it turns out we were wrong (again), as shown by this cheeky little piece of nonsense.

Welcome to Northumbria

For this look at one of our great National Parks, we headed to the most northerly of England's Parks, Northumbria National Park, nestled neatly between Hadrian's Wall to the south and the border of Scotland which, despite some people's protestations, are not one and the same thing!

The future's bright, the future's green?

Al's been on *a lot* of motorbike launches over the years. And they've all, to a greater or lesser extent, claimed to move motorcycling on in terms of technology, innovation, performance, practicality, style. Sometimes all at once.

La Belle Etoile - Never too old, never too young

A miserable wet day in January in North Wales, and the latest MSL drops on to the doormat. From within its pages out drops the MSL Tours 2023 Tour Schedule, bringing back memories of past trips in its earlier incarnation. Not for me, stick with the memories, remember your age, toss the brochure aside...

Richa Airwave jacket

Being a strange size/shape/ person I often find jackets/ trousers and the combining of both to be a haphazard affair. I'll often have to go to a size bigger in a jacket (large belly, long body) but then go for something smaller in trousers (short legs...).
