LONG TERMER: Voge 525DSX
Posted
by
Simon Meyer’s been putting the miles on the middleweight adventure motorcycle. Here’s how he’s getting on: The Voge 525DSX will likely have many of you scratching your heads. If you’ve not had your ear to the ground, you may well have missed the firm’s European debut back in 2020. It was a surprisingly well-received 471cc…

TESTED: KTM 1390 Super Duke
Posted
by
Bigger is better as far as KTM’s new Super Duke goes. Johnny Mac gets stuck in with the massive twin on track and gives us his take. For all its available performance and technical features, the Super Duke absolutely nails the one thing any motorbike must deliver above all else – fun. In the company…

TESTED: Ducati DesertX Rally
Posted
by
Bruce Wilson hits the deep, sandy stuff to see whether Ducati’s latest adventure bike should be on your wish list. It’s not every day I wipe blood from my lips, dirt from my eyes, and arch my back in agony. Then again, it’s not every day I return from hitting the desert on a 211…

LONG TERMERS: Suzuki V-Strom 800RE
Posted
by
Mossy keeps us up to speed with how he’s getting on with the Strom… On paper, the differences between the DE and RE versions of the V-Strom 800 shouldn’t amount to as much as they do. The fact is, changes to the chassis geometry and dimensions of some key components give the bike a distinctly…

Dave Manning has clocked up almost 1,500 miles on the KTM in four weeks, here’s how he’s found it… Given the KTM tagline of ‘Ready to race’ that scrolls across the dashboard of all of its models when the ignition is turned on, one might wonder why, and how, the Austrian firm have created what…

LONG TERMER: Suzuki GSX-S1000X
Posted
by
Stu Baker’s clocked up 1k on the big mile-muncher in a month, here’s his thoughts thus far: I was sad to say goodbye to Suzuki’s fabulous GSX-8S, but I’ve been more than compensated for with the arrival of the GSX-S1000GX. I was intrigued when I first saw pictures of it last year, because I have…

TESTED: Lexmoto RSS 125 Scrambler
Posted
by
For a 17-year-old, there’s nothing quite like that first taste of freedom that comes from two wheels, an engine and the open road. We’ve put on our rose-tinted specs to see if Lexmoto’s RSS 125 is the tool for the job. Here’s what our man Richard Graham has to say… I suspect that if you…

Bruce Wilson gets to grips with the A2 friendly Assassin… Fixated on goals and the chance to lift the bar in the hotly-contested A2 sportsbike market, there were two sets of numbers that mattered above all else for the firm from Noale: 175 and 47.
