Top bike reviews

  • BIMOTA TESI H2 TERA (2025-on)

    MCN rating
    5 out of 5 (5/5)

    The supercharged inline-four might be one of the most entertaining and addictive experiences since two-strokes faded away

  • VOGE DS900X (2024-on)

    MCN rating
    3 out of 5 (3/5)

    Mid-sized adventurer ticks all the option boxes and still comes in under £10k

  • SUZUKI GSX-8TT (2025-on)

    MCN rating
    3 out of 5 (3/5)

    It belies an average-looking spec sheet with an execution that excels on the road

  • YAMAHA TRACER 7 GT (2025-on)

    MCN rating
    4 out of 5 (4/5)

    Easy, fun, and economical biking with a level of versatility and manageability to suit a broad range of riders

  • YAMAHA TRACER 7 (2025-on)

    MCN rating
    4 out of 5 (4/5)

    Numerous subtle updates gives the Tracer its very best performance fun factor yet

  • BMW R1300R (2025-on)

    MCN rating
    4 out of 5 (4/5)

    BMW’s clever new variable rate spring tech works well and perhaps overkill on a humble roadster, but it could easily transform a sports tourer or superbike

  • BMW R12GS (2025-on)

    MCN rating
    4 out of 5 (4/5)

    Whether you’re cruising to the coffee shop, enjoying a B-road or trampling down a green lane, the R12 G/S never fails to make you smile

  • BMW R1300RT (2025-on)

    MCN rating
    5 out of 5 (5/5)

    BMW’s R1250RT has been an MCN Award winner for the past gazillion years, but it’s finally been knocked off its perch… by its replacement: the 2025 R1300RT

  • YAMAHA YBR250 (2009-on)

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

    excellent small machine with tough proven motor albeit injected these days . quite rare to find a good un but miles better than a 125 YBR or an old 250 superdream . Super commuter and not bad for long trips to boot , easy enough to keep up with traffic flow .

  • TRIUMPH TIGER SPORT 800 (2025-on)

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

    Quickshifter excellent. Engine excellent. Riding position for me very good. Screen for my taste should be a little bit taller (added a puig screen extender). Personally I like the looks compared to many of its competitors. The screen although not a giant TFT is easy to use and gives...

  • TRIUMPH SPRINT GT 1050 (2010-on)

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

    the 1050 engine is sweet theres none of the wine sound like you get on a 955 triple i miss that a little i up graded from a 955 sprint to a 1050 gt slightly more heavier the 1050 gt has a longer wheel base i found that better when pulling off ie in a carpark the gt has an after market...

  • HONDA CB650R (2019-on)

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

    36 years old, 20 years riding, about 10 bikes owned, from MT09 to Thruxton, supermotos and motocross, classics and sports beasts. I got the CB650R because I wanted a chilled out bike that doesn’t tease me into riding quick the whole time, but has the fun when wanted. It delivers, I love...

  • SACHS 800 (2000-2004)

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

    Simple retro-inspired motorcycling at it's best. More that just an updated Suzuki VX800. It reverses the trend where some 70s/80s bikes had engines that outperformed the chassis & brakes. Very easy to live with in the City or for weekend fair weather rides. Mechanically simple too, without...

  • YAMAHA TDM850 (1991-2001)

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

    I've had this model for about a year now, bought it as my first bike, and I would definetely recommend it for people who are just beginning their journey in the motorcycle-riding business. It has plenty of torque and acceleration, however it lets you off the hook if you misjudge the amount of...

  • TRIUMPH TIGER 660 SPORT (2022-on)

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

    Generally reliable although I had a breakdown due to the coolant temperature sensor breaking. This sent the bikes RPM’s sky high and was unsafe to ride so had to get a tow. Consistent issue with the steering head bearings needing adjustment which became a long term grumble on this bike and...
