The 2010 Yamaha YZ450F is not a bike that was released into a vacuum. There was more pre-release publicity about the 2010 Yamaha YZ450F than about any other bike in the history of the sport up to that time. If you don’t know what Yamaha changed for 2010, then you aren’t getting v…
The Atlas Defender Hybrid Ai takes a different approach to chest protection by combining a traditional hard-shell front with Atlas’ flexible Adapted Impact (Ai ) material on the back. After spending time riding with it over the summer in Georgia, the biggest thing that stands out…
Nearly 3000 km, from NSW trails to a long ride home through the mountains, put the 2026 Yamaha Ténéré 700 World Raid’s new suspension, electronics and touring credentials to the test. There’s plenty to like, but weight, power and price remain talking points. The post 2026 Yamaha …
Finding women’s riding gear that balances protection, comfort, and everyday style can be a challenge, but the Wind & Throttle Lara Cargo Motorcycle Pants make a strong case for becoming a staple in the riding wardrobe. At first glance, the Lara Cargo Pants don’t look like traditi…

Having had an AGV K5 S helmet years ago, which I found to be a great fit for me and firm favourite, I was keen to try their latest sports-touring offering, the K7. I like to keep a good sports touring...
Italian motorcycle helmet maker AGV has launched its most advanced helmet to date, and the reviews from MotoGP riders at Misano, said it all.
It’s been a busy period for the DS900X. To present it to the masses on MCN’s stand at Moto Fest, we made the trip in full dress, making it a popular choice for ferrying kit to and from the event.
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...
Not every ride calls for a full sports or touring motorcycle boot. For weekend summer rides I prefer a more casual option that’s comfortable to wear off the bike too. I had seen the Spada Piston boots...
As someone who prefers the simplicity of a Scitsu race tacho over a widescreen, rally-mounted TFT, the fact that I’ve become rather fond of the Varg’s Arkenstone dash has come as a surprise. And...
Oxford has built its reputation on producing affordable kit across multiple levels, from true entry-level beginner gear to more premium offerings. The Nexus range arrived with a bang, shocking plenty...
2500 miles in and picking any major faults with the Triumph Scrambler 900 is becoming increasingly difficult. Six months into ownership, this is usually when a bike starts revealing those little...
I rode a BMW R1300RT for my tour in Canada and have gathered some thoughts about it. I rented the BMW R1300RT from Cycle BC in Vancouver. The bike was almost new but was missing a few features. No radar module so no adaptive cruise control or emergency braking or […] The post 14 …
There are few names in motorcycling that stir the imagination quite like Norton. Long before the superbike horsepower wars and tales of adventure motorcycles conquering continents, Norton earned its reputation on racetracks and winding British roads. The company’s legendary Manx …
It seems fitting that my last Gear Lab review as a full‑time staffer is for the Aerostich R‑3 suit. When I was the FNG in 2008, one of my first assignments was to review Aerostich’s Roadcrafter suit, the R‑3’s predecessor. Andy Goldfine, founder and owner of Aerostich and inve…
With more than 3000 miles under my belt, I feel I’ve got a pretty good handle on the Yamaha Ténéré 700 World Raid. Most of those have been on the road, where I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how...
You know that feeling when you get home and slip on that perfect set of pyjamas? That’s the feeling Suzuki’s new (okay, ‘new’ is doing a bit of heavy lifting here) GSX-R1000R gives when jumping...
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...
Some riders like modern classics, and some like riding off-road. Then there are riders who like riding modern classics off-road. Now factor in people who are happy to spend north of $18,000 (US) on a new motorcycle. See that tiny sliver in the middle of our Venn diagram? That’s w…
My first long-term experience living with the Stark Varg SM electric bike has been fascinating, challenging some preconceptions while reinforcing others. Here’s what stood out after hundreds of miles...
