DUCATI UNLEASHES NEW DIAVEL AND MULTISTRADA RSS...

Ducati's just pulled the covers off a box-fresh Diavel V4 RS and Multistrada V4 RS, delivering to the market the sharpest, maddest, most lavish interpretations of two already popular propositions.

ALPINESTARS LAUNCHES TECH-AIR 5 PLASMA

We're big fans of Alpinestars' top-tier range of airbags, and its latest product is set to take active protection up a notch.

DUCATI'S ELECTRIC FUTURE ACCELERATES WITH V21L PROTOTYPE

While the FIM MotoE World Championship takes a pause, Ducati isn’t slowing down. In Borgo Panigale, the engineers are knee-deep in battery packs, cell chemistry and solid-state tech, pushing electric performance closer to the level of a screaming internal combustion engine. Enter the V21L, Ducati’s latest prototype, now unveiled at the IAA Mobility in Munich.

APRILIA RSV4 X-GP: MOTOGP WITH NUMBERPLATES

Aprilia doesn't do subtle. When it came time to mark 10 years since the RS-GP first hit the MotoGP grid, it didn't just slap a sticker on the RSV4 and call it a day.

HUSQVARNA 701 ENDURO AND SUPERMOTO REMASTERED

Husqvarna has given its 701 protagonists a serious upgrade for 2026. The 701 Enduro and Supermoto aren't just visually sharper... they're stronger, smarter, and packed with tech.

Sub-litre LAYERS

For years, the supersport class has looked every bit as depressing as my bank balance – a fading shadow of its late 1990s and early 2000s heyday when 600cc inline-fours screamed around every circuit and filled dealer showrooms with impunity.

UNDER THE SKIN...DUCATI PANIGALE V2S

Whatever you know about the Panigale V2... forget it! Following in the footsteps of the 959, Superquadro-powered iteration comes a whole new proposition for 2025, with the headline fact that it makes about 30bhp less than its predecessor.

ON THE ROAD...

Perched on the narrow Ducati, feeling the rumble of the big twin below and watching the mirrors shake themselves to within an inch of their lives, I couldn’t help but unleash a wry grin behind my dark visor.

4 mins

ON THE TRACK...

There's always that one annoying bloke on track, popping up when you least expect it, deep on the brakes or when pitching into a corner. At Donington, on track with a bunch of mates with their litre bikes, I was that bloke... and I couldn't help myself.

UNDER THE SKIN...YAMAHA R9

Yamaha's been in the game plenty long enough to know that if something isn't working, it's time to shake things up.

ON THE ROAD...

IT'S A SURPRISINGLY LONG AND SPACIOUS MACHINE, STRETCHING YOU OUT IN A GOOD WAY WITHOUT NECESSITATING A CHIROPRACTOR ON SPEED DIAL AFTER EACH AND EVERY RIDE.

ON THE TRACK...

I'm not competitive... but Big Mac is.

When you think about it, these two models reflect very different answers to the same question.

Supersport's GREATEST HITS...

It's arguably the most interesting of the sportsbike classes at the moment. But the supersport sector has had some highs and lows down the years. We take a look at where it came from, and how it got here...

BRAKING POINT...

From drums to discs, slide calipers to monoblocs... brakes have come a long way over the years.

MICHAEL DUNLOP'S PATON S1-R

We have a really special bike for Addiction this month.

In case of EMERGENCY...

They might not be the loudest or shiniest of bolt-ons for your bike, but if you want to keep your fluids within your motor and your cash inside of your wallet, investing in proper engine case protection might be the best purchase you ever make.

Mega little bike, MEGA BIG IMPACT

Some bikes are created on the back of spreadsheets and marketing demands. Others are born out of passion, innovation, and a desire to tick a box that never even existed. Bikes like Aprilia's lesser-known RRV450...

OLIVER LONGTERMER SUZUKI GSX-R125

The GSX-R-125. My first ever bike. And it is brilliant. My name is Oli Hartshorne, and I am as new to bikes as they come, only 400 miles in and still with the stiff arms, wide eyes when those fast corners come round, and maybe the occasional stall.

LONGTERMER KAWASAKI NINJA 1100SX SE

We live in a world, it seems, where everything has an app for our smartphones to connect to.
