ROYAL ENFIELD MOTORCYCLES HAVE found favour among custom builders worldwide. At motorcycle shows and festivals we have seen some lovely examples of bobbers, scramblers, and café racers. It appears Royal Enfield have been taking notes because the Goan Classic 350 is a bobber-inspired production model based on the Classic 350.
There are enough visual changes to set the Goan apart from the Classic it is based on. In recent times, Royal Enfield have offered some vivid colour schemes but with the Goan they have gone a step further. Although the colours on offer are among the most lively choices available in the country, it is the detailing that makes this motorcycle special.
Regardless of which colour one may choose, there is a subtle layer of intricate detailing on the fuel-tank. Royal Enfield's choice of offering a modern version of whitewall tyres is an excellent idea and they go well with the colour-matched rims. For the first time in a Classic, rims that can run tubeless tyres are on offer but the Goan uses a 16-inch wheel at the rear and a 19-inch one at the front. The L-shaped air valves are a personal favourite because they add to convenience. From the fit-and-finish to the quality of parts, the Goan lives up to international standards.

Ducati Revamp Powerful Multistrada 14 S
At face value, it appears Ducati have only mildly tweaked the Multistrada V4 S for 2025, which is why we arrived in Perugia, Italy, a few hours north of Rome, expecting a couple of easy days on the classy adventure-tourer. However, it quickly became apparent that despite only mildly updating the Multi's familiar looks, beneath the bodywork lies a vast number of updates that Ducati hope will make the bestselling Multi (and best-selling Ducati globally) even more versatile than before
