Before the BMW R 1200 GS went to partial water cooling, I drew up a wish list for the new bike. As an owner of an R 1150 GS, then an R 1200 GS Adventure and now an air-cooled R 1200 GS, I had 10 improvements on my wish list...

The new KTM 1190 Adventure follows its biggest competitor, BMW’s R 1200 GS, into a more road-focused market. Both are now geared for 90% tar and occasional dirt. But it’s KTM which has made the biggest leap forward with a massive increase in engine capacity from 990 to 1190cc and...

Despite the numerous changes to the 2014 Harley-Davidson Street Glide, there are two that stand out the most. Well, actually one of them doesn’t stand out at all. I’m talking about the new slimline air filter. Most riders replace the bulky air filter as their first order of business...

Honda’s NC700SA “new concept” commuter has grown some highway legs, as well as more manners and grunt. It’s now the NC750SA and costs $8799 (plus on-road costs) which is just $309 more than the previous model. For that you get an extra 75cc of engine capacity with more power and...

One of the sexiest sports bikes and still one of the fastest on the planet, the Suzuki Hayabusa, has changed colours for 2014, but not price. SEE ALL THE PHOTOS HERE Still a great bang-for-your-buck bargain at $19.290 (+ORC), the Hayabusa looks fast just standing still and now comes in...

Victory Motorcycles just keep getting more and more attractive – in looks and price. For 2014 they have optional factory custom paint, while prices are down as much as $1000 on some models.

The Harley-Davidson Road King really is king of the road. It’s my favourite Harley and the most suitable to Australia’s vast distances, climate and road conditions. However, my recent 5000+km road test wasn’t in Australia; it was in New Zealand where a straight stretch of road is rare, where the...
