Latest Issue

In the April / May issue of Bike Rider Magazine, we test the machine which could possibly see Honda’s Hornet once more ruling the naked class – the CB 1000 SP. Featuring the motor out of the potent 2017 Fireblade, top-shelf running gear, a claimed155hp output and an affordable price tag should all go towards making the new Hornet a popular choice. Paul spends 3 days in the company of the Blu Cru on the Yamaha Adventure Ride, putting a Ténéré World Raid through its paces, while Taine also gets dirty but on something a whole heap lighter – Triumph’s new MX weapon, the TF250-X. Finally, we get our geek mode engaged and go for a ride on the tech-laden CFMOTO 800NK Advanced.

Alan gets an exclusive invite to a very special motorcycle collection in Barcelona and also takes a look at the machine which put Mike Hailwood on the map. The TT2000 endurance ride has been and gone, with Dave Britten recounting the trials of tackling a long way in a short time. And Kevin Williams gets back to basics with a good lesson on counter-steering. Finally, we test Leatt’s new 8.5 Adventure helmet, Dunlop’s Trailmax tyres and Giant Loop Mojavi panniers.

All this and more, including longterm tests, product reviews and the latest news.
