Launch ride: 2017 Yamaha TMAX DX
Posted
by
Out of maybe twenty motorcyclists coming the other way, only two returned my waves. Why should they? Yamaha’s TMAX DX isn’t a ‘proper’ bike – it’s an automatic… pah; what soft biker is going to want that? And it’s got enough space under the seat for up to one full-face and one open-face lid. Or…

Launch report: Yamaha XSR900 Abarth
Posted
by
“This’d be fantastic around Cadwell,” exclaimed one journo as he jumped off the XSR900 Abarth. He’s right, but it’s a shame I found it so uncomfortable on the tight twisting roads of Sardinia where we were riding it. To be fair, I was the only one who didn’t seem enamoured with the limited-edition…

Launch report: Yamaha SCR950
Posted
by
Yamaha’s SCR950 is hampered by its marketing. Described as being: “Inspired by the street scramblers of the 1960s,” many journalists’ default position will be to thrust it straight into a pigeon-hole already swollen with the likes of Ducati’s Scrambler, Triumph’s Street Scrambler and BMW’s R-nine-T Scrambler. I’d consider the XSR700 to have more potential to…

Launch ride: 2017 KTM 1290 Super Adventure S
Posted
by
The 1290 Super Adventure S is a hybrid. KTM has taken the more compact form of the 1190 Adventure, filled it with the 1290’s, 1301cc 158bhp motor, and reduced the tank size from 30 to 23 litres. And then it dropped the 1190 from the range. The rethink makes sense – the £10,999 1050 was…
