Hi-Viz LED H-Band review
Posted
by
Reviewed by: John Milbank RRP: £24.99 While some riders turn their nose up at hi-viz kit, there’s no denying its effectiveness. Reflective gear can help you shine in a car’s headlights, but it’s not always as much use if you’re approaching a T junction. Enter the H-Band, from Moto Central. Using two AA batteries, it…

BST Black Diamond Carbon Fibre wheels review
Posted
by
RRP: £2805.90 (including both rims, sprocket carrier, sprockets and necessary lightweight bolts) SIZES: 120/70 x17 – 190/50 x 17 I wanted these rims for two reasons; the first being that they looked superb and the second being that I’d heard how beneficial lightweight wheels are to a bike’s handling. Which I can now reaffirm having…

Rev’It Air Jacket review
Posted
by
Reviewed by: Bruce Wilson RRP: £119.99 I really rate this jacket. To be honest, I don’t get to wear it that much in the UK, but on the odd occasion when the weather perks up, there’s nothing better for keeping you cool, comfortable and feeling safe.

Posted
by
Just four bends into my third session aboard this latest version of Suzuki’s legendary three quarter- litre rocketship, and already my spirits are soaring and my doubts have been blown away. The GSX-R750 L1’s tyres aren’t even back up to full temperature, yet the bike has just sliced through the Spanish Monteblanco circuit’s second-gear chicane…

2011 Ducati Diavel review
Posted
by
Ducati’s new Diavel is a sports bike in muscle cruiser clothing It’s a sunny saturday afternoon in southern spain, and the famously twisty A-397 from Ronda to the coast is teeming with sports bikes. This is motorcyclists’ heaven but it’s not the place where a giant V-twin muscle bike with kicked-out forks, a laidback riding…
