MCN’s head start for new bikers

This week’s MCN, out August 20, features a free 12-page ‘Beginners’ guide to biking’ supplement that gives new bikers everything they need to know about getting on two wheels.

We take you through the whole process, from applying for your provisional license to what bikes you can ride once you’ve passed.

We give you all the tips you need when buying your first bike, tell you the best places to ride and what gear you should be wearing.

Plus 250cc Grand Prix racer Chaz Davies, 16, and Yamaha R6 cup rider Victor Cox, 17, take a look at the latest bikes available for 16 and 17-year-olds, including everything from 50cc scooters to race replica 125s.

We tell you how to get the best insurance deal and point out the most common riding mistakes – so you don’t make them.

There’s also the chance to win former World Superbike champion Carl Fogarty’s paddock scooter – worth £2500. The Peugeot Speedfight 2 is painted up in the Foggy Petronas WSB team colours and is one of only three Speedfights to ever have this paintjob.
