There’s a fresh new look for the world’s biggest motorcycle monthly… and we’re making it even easier for new riders to get on two wheels too.

From this month the new publication MoreBikes combines the very best of Motor Cycle Monthly as well as its sister title On Two Wheels – the paper made specifically for those who want to get into motorcycling, return to it, or stay on smaller capacity machines. Subscribe here.

    Stainless-steel is too expensive for many bikes’ original exhaust systems, and as a result, they can rot out, leaving you with an expensive bill if you want to stick with OE parts. If only there was a way of treating a set of pipes so they’d be protected from the worst the UK’s roads have…

      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. Presumably nobody told Kawasaki, whose Z1000SX has been a…

      The iconic race-bred 250 two-stroke that beats the competition on real-world roads. The mid 80s was the last great era when new two stroke motorcycles appeared with gusto.

    Q.  In my opinion, in recent years there has been a noticeable increase on British roads of foreign cars.

    Q.  I was riding along my local high street when a Chihuahua dog (yes the really small type) called Twinkle jumped out of her owner’s handbag and ran straight out in front of me, causing me to swerve, crash into a massive pile of rubbish outside the local kebab shop and fall off.  Not my…

      Razzing around on a 125 is still great fun, no matter how old you are and it reminded me of just how much fun and freedom two wheels gave me as a teenager. Is it me or are our young bikers spoilt for choice these days? When I was on ‘L’ plates at the…

    Derbi have done a good job at shrinking their 659cc machine. The bike looks great with deep black paint and those cheeky go faster stripes which give it a distinctive style, it’s nice to see something retro in the overcrowded race rep filled learner legal category. The Mulhacén may only be a four-stroke 125 but…
