Your daily dose from all over the web.
Four viscosity grades, JASO MA2 wet-clutch compatibility and a focus on protection under heat and load. We look inside MOTOREX's Top Speed 4T range and explain the starting points for choosing the appropriate oil. The post MOTOREX Top Speed 4T: What’s in the bottle? appeared firs…
Motorcycle lots move through Copart and IAAI the same way cars do, but buyers often skip the two checks that save the most money — realistic shipping estimates and a proper history report before the bid closes. Both take just a few minutes, yet most bikes get bought on gut feelin…
Nobody gets into motorcycles hoping to buy a pickup truck. You bought the bike because it was the cheap and interesting way to get around, and then at some point you need something that can carry the bike rather than be the bike. That purchase usually lands at a bad moment, right…
Choosing the right tyres is hugely important, and so far I’ve sampled two options from Metzeler’s current catalogue aboard the Speed Triple. I was keen to see how their latest...
Imagine being given a big chocolate cake but getting told you can only eat it using a dolls’ house fork. The frustration would soon build. Now imagine that instead you are presented with a plateful of...
No such thing as a bad new bike these days. Sure, there are bikes in each class that stand out and some that require owners of specific tastes. But no brand has released an utter lemon for decades.

Triumph’s Street Triple blew its Japanese inline-four rivals out of the water when it rocked out of the factory in 2007. Clever use of the Daytona’s chassis and inline-triple engine in a temptingly...
Fashions come and go, but some bikes have established themselves as two-wheeled style icons thanks to their groundbreaking design. These bikes need little introduction as their silhouettes have been...
A pair of riding jeans is a staple in my motorcycle wardrobe, the perfect option for dry riding days. I always look for good levels of protection but even more so than that, comfort and style. The...
You found it. A Honda CB750 sitting in someone’s shed under a tarp, or an XS650 on a classifieds site with the classic line: ran when parked. The price is right, the frame looks straight, and your head is already full of clip-ons, a hump seat and reverse cone mufflers. The tempta…
Sportsbikes are dead, they say. Except they’re not. There’s been a huge rejuvenation of the category over the past few years, with newly released sportsbikes bringing life back to the market like the...
A used motorcycle can be a very good buy. It can also be somebody else’s problem with a fresh set of grips on it, and photos in a listing will not tell you which one you are looking at. That is the reason to run the VIN before you go anywhere. A VIN check pulls title and odometer…
