Hello

Is it really an M? • New M1000RR has more power, less weight and a pair of wings. It’s badged as an M bike, but is it?

Nothing is quicker • This 1100bhp home-brewed bike has become the fastest-accelerating electric vehicle on the planet

GS goes gadgetastic • New optional equipment makes it even easier to end up with a £20k R1250GS

Enfield of dreams • Engineered in the UK, Royal Enfield’s new racer is making a mark in American flat track

Bimota’s new era • Pipe down sceptics. This isn’t a concept built from daydreams and wishful thinking, but a real production Bimota... with a Kawasaki engine

Braking News • From the wonderful to the weird, Bike’s pick of this month’s stories from the motorcycling world…

Deals on wheels • Take advantage of the end-of-year clearouts and save a fortune with a pre-registered bargain. After all what’s a number between friends?

No stand required • The race to build a bike that won’t topple over is currently hotting up. Ben Purvis scrutinises the leading contenders…

Balancing for 100 years

SWITTCH BLADES? • Honda’s spanking new CBR1000RR-R has more horsepower, revs, technology for your money than any Fireblade before it – but a well maintained ten year old ‘Blade is a better road bike, and even better value

Great used buys • Epic machinery for bargain money – there’s a world of amazing motorcycles for those of us buying preloved

SMART MONEY • Don’t reckon that you can stretch to a new motorbike? Time to reassess your financial position. From PCP and hire purchase to used deal and amazing cash buy, these four eye-rubbing bargains leave plenty of wedge in your trousers...

Great new buys • Astounding value for money, you say? There’s a spanking new-bike deal to suit every persuasion

Suzuki V-Strom 1050XT • Value has always been at the heart of the V-Strom proposition and the latest 1050 is no different. Now with modern electronics, it promises R1250GS capabilities for heaps less cash. But have corners been cut along the way?

Handmade jobs • Think of high-priced handmade leathers not as an extravagance, but as an investment in your riding future…

Savvy saving • Nothing wrong with being a bit tight. Here are 19 ways to save a few quid

Clearance bargains • All the big stores are continuously clearing out kit that can save you loads on discounted retail prices. Here’s a sample of highly-rated gear

SMALLER BUT PERFECTLY FORMED • Here in 2020 there are bones of contention with sportsbikes: they are too uncomfortable for more experienced backs; they are too powerful and too expensive. Aprilia’s new RS 660 gets to grips with these issues and more…

It’s all about detail • Aprilia’s Head of Motorcycle Engineering Piero Soatti talks about the level of detail that goes into making a great bike…

Still not there, but… • Half the price of a Harley LiveWire, but a similar range. Is Zero’s S a battery bargain?
