  • BMW R1300GS (2023-on)

    Overall owners' rating
    3 out of 5 (3/5)

    Best feature is the electric screen - a calm bubble of air. But if you are taller than 6 foot you may start getting some buffeting. Worse features - Switch controls not back lit. Gearbox whine. TFT screen gets covered in everything thrown up from the front wheel when the roads are wet.

  • KAWASAKI Z125 (2019-on)

    Overall owners' rating
    3 out of 5 (3/5)

    It looks great,I don't like the throttle, nothing then you're gone it's snappy but just required a bit more thought and control. Livable but carbed bike's are a tad more forgiving for a learner. The riding position! The Spanish inquisition wish they had this bike. The pegs are...

  • HONDA CROSSRUNNER 800 (2011-2014)

    Overall owners' rating
    5 out of 5 (5/5)

    A superb all rounder, the low speed handling/maneuverability at walking pace is especially good, ideal for slowly working your way to the front of a queue.

  • KTM 990 DUKE (2024-on)

    Overall owners' rating
    5 out of 5 (5/5)

    It's almost a perfect street bike as it's just so much fun to ride. The bike wants to play every ride and gives a lot of front end feel. The gearshift (no QS) is firm and the most positive I've felt. The screen is good and much clearer than the previous models duke models. The big downside is the...

  • ENFIELD HIMALAYAN 450 (2024-on)

    Overall owners' rating
    4 out of 5 (4/5)

    A no nonsense mud plugger that sits on the motorway like a big soft armchair on a magic carpet. Easy to ride, but beware it’s can move if you want it to.

  • MOTO-GUZZI V85 TT (2019-2023)

    Overall owners' rating
    4 out of 5 (4/5)

    Charming good looking and good handling bike with enough power in the real world, I've given 4 starts as the gearbox is a little clunky, and when wearing an open face helmet you can hear the mechanicals, I accept it's an air cooled twin and would have gone 4.5 stars but no option for that. I...

  • BMW R1250GS (2019-2023)

    Overall owners' rating
    4 out of 5 (4/5)

    The good... Comfort, especially over long distances is exceptional. I changed the seat to a Sargeant and that improved it even more.The bad... The linked brakes are ill conceived and, in my opinion, dangerous, to the point where they caused an accident. Cornering, to discover...

  • KAWASAKI ER-5 (1996-2007)

    Overall owners' rating
    4 out of 5 (4/5)

    Comfortable seat for longer distances and very predicable power output. Reliable bike (once all issues are fixed up). Definitely overpaid for this bike knowing the problems it had. Paid £1300 and had to go rebuild the carb twice, swapped parts around, changed corroded parts (knobhead failed to...

  • DUCATI 1199 PANIGALE R (2013-2015)

    Overall owners' rating
    5 out of 5 (5/5)

    Due to "ride by wire" you need to set Race mode to have ok throttle response.. Very comfortable.. Good also for tall people. compared to 1198 etc So as comfy as a 999 with raisers. Exceptional suyspension - bad asfalt is quite ok .. better than what you find in normal stndard...
