Set to replace the Pan European, the new bike will feature push-button gear change and will switch from being a V4 to a V-twin in traffic.

Honda has confirmed that their new radical custom, the Honda Fury, will be coming to the UK in 2010. As MCN’s Phil West states, “the new Honda offers a halfway house between full-on customs and conventional cruisers.”

The Aprilia Shiver GT goes up against the BMW F800S and Kawasaki Versys GT in our group test and Ducati’s GS rival has been spotted testing. Plus MCN road tester Adam Child takes the latest 125cc supermotos to London to see which is the best on city streets.
