£5200 OTR | 535cc 4 stroke single | 29.1bhp |44Nm @ 4000rpm Lying flat on the tank of this retro-styled bike, throttle held at the stop and with the roar of 44 identical red machines around me, I can’t stop grinning, but despite this being a modern bike, it’s the sixties that put me…

Tested by: Bruce Wilson, road tester Price: £119.99 I got these boots just in time for my first trip out to the States on a cruiser launch and was pleasantly surprised at just how sturdily they cupped my ankle.

From £9499 | 140bhp@10,000rpm | 82lb-ft@7300rpm | liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder Described as ‘the most radical supernaked’ bike, Kawasaki’s 2014 Z1000 is an evolution of the machine first launched in 2004, and last updated in 2010.

Subdeck: £9849 | 1043cc 4cylinder | 140bhp | 82lb-ft The traditional sports-tourer class is supposed to be in decline, as increasing numbers of riders decide that versatility in a motorbike doesn’t mean just sports and touring, but crossing rivers and trekking up mountain trails too.
