If you looked up ‘motorcycle character’ in the dictionary the Moto Guzzi, which is still built at their original factory on the banks of Lake Como, would be looking back at you, all doe-eyed, with its floppy, air-cooled cylinders sticking out each side

Fun, engaging and friendly

The super popular middleweight naked gets a whole host of updates making it the best MT-07 yet

Aprilia’s Tuono 457 shares its big sister’s spirit

Upgrades for 2025 are minimal, but they add up to an F900XR that’s slightly sharper handling and thanks to its higher level of standard equipment, better value.

It’s a genuine superbike with straight 'bars.

It still delivers brain-shredding acceleration when you open the taps, the chassis oozes feel in all conditions and its brakes are brutally powerful and packed with feel.

The most powerful and technologically advanced Speed Triple super-naked ever made

Yamaha’s new R9 mixes the friendly power delivery of an MT-09 with the sharp handling of a full-blown supersports weapon and a riding position that isn’t too extreme

A hell of a cheap ticket to ride

The bike is a thoroughly real world practical bike that punches well above it's class

Finally, the perfect bike does exist , well built, high quality , comfort and then, wow that torque

Easy to manage at speed but unstable below 5mph.Extremely comfortable but loses acceleration after 80mph.

Great looking bike with great build quality and plenty of power

Its a decent bike handles well and looks great even today, I find it abit sluggish pulling away but it picks up straight away in second, choke works well and gear changes are smooth

The windshield choices are terrible, the bike is much more cheaply made, The infotaiment is really bad been back 3 times now and have to go back yet again. Hitting only a small bump like the transition to a bridge or something the whole thing just quits for roughly 15 or 20 seconds. Last but...

I rented the previous model on a trip to Thailand 14 years ago . My then daily driver back home was a well sorted R1, so I wasn't expecting much . I had an absolute blast. When I moved to Thailand I picked up a 2014 model and I love it.

Extremely smooth driving motorcycle, packed with driver assistance systems.

Beautifully finished retro

Big wheels make it a a joy to ride over GBs pot-hole laden roads. Easy to handle, enough power for urban and B-road riding. Would recommend this bike for the sheer simple pleasure of riding a motorcycle.
