5 BIKES THAT REALLY MATTER THIS MONTH

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

Paul Smart 1943 - 2021

If it were my money... • Classic bike fetishist Hugo Wilson on the retros that he’d clear space for in his garage.

Deals on wheels • End of the year means start of the silly season, with dealers shifting lingering stock, chasing targets and making way for 2022 metal. Christmas is early...

British biking boom • Home-grown brands set to fill the NEC at Motorcycle Live

BMW S1000R • It looks mighty familiar but this year’s naked Beemer is a different animal, with less weight, more accessible performance and spangly tech. Time to see how the numbers stack up

Credit where credit’s Due • 25 years ago Bimota unveiled a radical, 500cc direct injection two-stroke. And it almost killed the company. Jamie Turner rues what might have been…

The Road • A celebration of UK tarmac

Write Off • Bike, Media House, Lynch Wood, Peterborough, PE2 6EA

The VFR for the adventure generation? • Promising performance with touring comfort, the new Honda NT1100 is designed to resonate with those of us who have fondness for models past

Good vibes & retro threads • Kawasaki Z650RS gets the ‘70s right at the price conscious end of the market. Which ain’t easy

The best Suzuki in years • If you’re a tourer, but not a tall-roader tourer, there was a choice of one bike. Now there are two…

Taking the fight to Yam • Rugged, high-spec, fun, Aprilia’s new Tuareg has the makings of an adventure success story

Cheaper lighter, better • More accessible and refined than ever, Ducati’s twin has a solid case to be the best Multistrada

WHAT’S IN A NAME? • Husqvarna’s new Norden 901 is essentially a rebranded KTM – and yet it manages to be a rather different proposition…

The Ducati Dragons • We like to think we live in an age of inclusion. But it’s seldom the whole truth. Which is why groups such as the Ducati Dragons are important…

GOOD VIBIRATIONS • The motorcycling arena is joyously varied, a situation the cruiser happily confirms. And they sell, even in the UK. Here’s why…

‘Rossi’s fan club started dragging the church tower, with the priest in it’ • Through victory and defeat Alex Briggs was Valentino Rossi’s mechanic for 21 years. Which means unrivalled access and some serious tales to tell…

‘I rode 5005 miles round Britain for £18.69’ • ‘Battery’ bikes are divisive yet electric is seen as the Earth’s future. Discuss… Curt Langan is more than happy to following his epic ride around Britain, by leccy Zero…

Tool of the month

EXPERTS IN THIS ISSUE

Honda CB1100 X-11 • Naked Super Blackbird? What’s not to like?

Aprilia RSV Mille • Proper V-twin grunt, glorious handling and quality, built for normal-size humans... and still exotic. Prices are rising for this modern classic, so now’s the time to bag a first-gen...
