KTM 390 Adventure review: The best value motorcycle on the …
Sep 24, 2020 · Time and sales will tell if the 390 Adventure is that bike. By providing big bike quality on a small machine, for just £5,499, KTM is offering a very tempting package and great value for money, especially when you consider I achieved around 200 miles between fill-ups of the 14.5l fuel tank.
Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 Special review
Mar 11, 2022 · It was so reminiscent of my tour of the Faroes, but with one huge difference. The Sportster was a handful in such conditions, and, in truth, the ride was grim and fraught with tension, whereas the Pan America was comfortable, capable, stable and confidence inspiring. I arrived back in Gloucester with the view that for a first attempt at an all ...
Benelli TRK 502 X Motorcycle Review - Adventure Bike Rider
Sep 26, 2018 · As an off-roader: As with most larger boned adventure bikes, the TRK 502 X doesn’t excel as an off-roader – it’s too heavy, too wide and too breakable. If you want to go off road, get a dirt bike, not a Benelli. As a continental road tourer: Thanks to a great riding position, comfortable ergos and a competent engine, the Benelli would be ...

Most users tend to opt for a 1:25,000 map which can show the area in much more detail (many of these lanes are small and can be easy to miss on a larger one). With your OS map in hand it’s worth clarifying that a ‘green lane’ isn’t actually a recognised term ...
2017 Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin review - Adventure Bike Rider
May 17, 2016 · Size wise, sitting or standing on the bike, it feels more like being on a lower version of a Ténéré 660 than on, say, a GS1200. The exception is whereas the Ténéré feels, and is, top heavy, the Africa Twin does not and is not. Honda has worked hard at centralising the mass of this bike, placing all the heavy items as low as possible.
Aprilia Tuareg 660 review - Adventure Bike Rider
Mar 15, 2022 · That’s a world away from the Tuareg’s adventure touring and trail riding credentials, so Aprilia has brought down the power and increased torque, particularly at lower revs. It produces 80bhp and 70Nm of torque, 75% of which is available at 3,000rpm. But don’t let this fool you into thinking this is a toothless bike.
BMW F 850 GS Adventure Review - Adventure Bike Rider
Jan 28, 2020 · Long time ABR contributor Dave Reynolds heads off on a tour of Northern Spain aboard a BMW F 850 GS Adventure. My introduction to the BMW F 850 GS Adventure was on the fifth floor of a multi-storey carpark in Farnborough. It wasn’t the most auspicious of settings to run my eye over a new bike for the first time, but even amidst the dull light and shadow of a concrete carpark, the mid-size ...
What’s the best wax motorcycle jacket that money can buy?
Mar 12, 2021 · At £249.99, the Thurxton is an affordable jacket that looks good and feels even better, although the fixed waterproof liner makes it best suited to commutes and Sunday rides in autumn, winter, and spring rather than on sticky summer tours. JO. …
