What We Wear: Roadskin Taranis Elite motorcycle jeans (ladies)
Posted
by
Our reviewer Kate Chorley gives feedback on her Roadskin Taranis Elite motorcycle jeans! I don’t always get on well with bike jeans. I’ve often found them a little too thick, occasionally uncomfortable, and frequently ill-fitting – but this pair from Roadskin are just right. They’re a good-looking, true-to-size, figure-flattering option which look good both on…

But that doesn’t mean it’s not time for an update –…

Updates for the BMW S1000XR
Posted
by
While all eyes were on the news of the launch of the new R1300GS, BMW’s quietly revealed some serious changes to its long-legged sport-tourer. Powered by the same S1000RR-derived 999cc four-cylinder engine as the previous generation, it’d be easy to assume that performance is pretty much the same. But revised intakes and fresh mapping have…

Used Bike Guide: Yamaha XSR700 (2015-2021)
Posted
by
The XSR is a cracking bike. That should come as no surprise, because it’s essentially a reworked version of Yamaha’s massively-popular MT-07. It features the same 689cc parallel-twin engine and lightweight chassis – but gets some stylish extras to help it stand apart from its slightly more aggressive middleweight naked sibling. It’s light, easy to…

Used Bike Guide: Triumph Scrambler (2006-2016)
Posted
by
The Bonneville-based Scrambler from the British firm is a great choice. We’ve spent a good chunk of time on them over the years, and although it’s now been replaced by the Street Scrambler there’s still a lot to be said for the ‘original’. It was ahead of the curve when it was released back in…

Used Bike Guide: SUZUKI SV650 (1999-2015)
Posted
by
£2000-£3500 This is a slightly left-field option. Firstly, it’s less modern retro and more actual retro, having been first released before the turn of the millennium. But over the intervening 20-odd years it’s won the hearts and minds of an eclectic mix of riders who approve of its usability, affordability and versatility. It is truly…
