Posted
by
There’s talk that one of Royal Enfield’s best-selling models is about to receive a refresh. The suggestion is the new Bullet will get the same J-Series engine as the recently released Hunter 350 and Meteor 350, although, unlike those models, this bike will be a faithful recreation of one of Royal Enfield’s most famous, and…

Best of British: Herald Motor Co.
Posted
by
Bob Pickett investigates… The British motorcycle industry is in the kind of rude health not seen in decades. Current estimates are that 19 different British marques are building bikes.

Posted
by
Herald’s made a big leap forward with the release of its raucous, stripped-back custom-style single – the Brute 500.

Bob Pickett takes a look: With just 200 to be built, the hand-built superbike café racer is the first brand-new motorcycle produced by TVS-owned Norton, following on from the re-engineered V4SV and new-generation Norton Commando 961 launched last year.

Possibly the best VFM classic Japanese four you can buy! Steve Cooper takes a look… Classic, old-school, air-cooled multis don’t come more attainable than the Z650. Essentially a second generation Japanese four, it has similar performance to Honda’s seminal CB750/4 but with reduced mass… and cost!
