Honda’s venerable CT110 has likely been the vehicle of choice for your postie for decades — indeed, I was involved in testing one for Two Wheels back in the 1990s. Now you can buy an updated version, the CT125, from your friendly Honda dealer. For Se

If you go searching for information about the 790 Adventure, you’ll find it’s almost all about the “R” model, the big-selling off-road focussed “Tough Guy” R version. The base-model KTM 790 Adventure has been the bridesmaid. The standard Adventure, w

Beeline is a smart navigation device that is controlled by your smartphone. You plan your trip via its app and then use the Beeline to get you there. Created by (push bike) cyclists and launched as a Kickstarter project, the founders soon realised th

The first electric road bike from a mainstream manufacturer, the LiveWire is new, different and like nothing else from Harley-Davidson — ever. It’s a sportsbike, for a start — probably a deliberate move on the part of the Motor Co to prevent cannibal

Garmin is a multi-billion-dollar American corporation founded on GPS technology. It now provides mapping info for automotive, military, sport, aviation and many other applications. Garmin produces the Zumo 396 LMT-S (4.3in) and Zumo XT (5.5in) motorc

Cheaper, lighter, less powerful and does not feature anything like the level of tech as the KTM. The new Yamaha might offer what you need if that’s more off-road capability. The latest and greatest triples from Triumph look to be even more versatile

Motodry’s Rapid is a protective, mesh-ventilated and armoured jacket which is designed for Aussie summers. With more rain falling in the summer months for many parts of Australia, we need full waterproofing, so the Rapid comes with a 100 per cent wat

“Don’t it always seem to go, that you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone.” So sang Canadian chanteuse Joni Mitchell in her 1970 hit, “Big Yellow Taxi”. Fifty years on, the words ring loud and clear. My battle with lung cancer continues apace.

The high ranges of the Rift and Atlas Mountains, the Western Sahara dunes and the culture those natural wonders helped develop drew us to Morocco. Its long history of civilisation, colonisation and subsequent cultural diversity is as broad as its lan

Yamaha’s MT-09 has been a big seller because it’s a big bike in a small chassis. It looks great and the pricing is very, very affordable. For most buyers, the handling is fine. But not everyone. For that reason we have the MT-09SP — fully adjustable

The world is in lockdown. International travel, especially by, motorcycle is off. COVID-19 has turned the world upside down. But we’re lucky buggers to live on an island in a sparsely populated country. Don’t ignore our own backyard. Motorcycle trave

The sign on the wall was ominous: “Bear was given 10-80 on 3-3-04 which killed him.” The thought of Bear, hopefully someone’s pet, being given sodium fluoroacetate poison, had the theme from Deliverance in my head. Welcome to Terowie, South Australia

Summer is the best time to see the high country, and there’s no better place to base yourself to experience the rides, roads or deserted bush tracks than Bright in Victoria’s North East. Bright is a tourist town and caters for all levels, from tent s

Readers older than me might remember when road bikes were sold with 19in front wheels and everyone expected they would be ridden on dirt roads, at least occasionally. Not so much today. I bet you know people who won’t ride their bike down a gravel dr

Turns out lots of people have gotten around to fixing things during COVID-19 lockdowns, me included. So much so independent workshops, those with mechanics willing to work on older machinery, often now have waiting lists stretching into months as peo

I’ve ridden the future, and it’s electric. Literally — the electric motor is the future of two-wheeled propulsion. It might be the future, but it’s not the now, at least for most people, most of the time. The Harley-Davidson LiveWire is the first ma

The little Honda is bigger than the Kawasaki and those extra cubes are nice to have, especially for highway riding. However, the suspension on the Versys is a bit better, it’s cheaper and lighter. A single-cylinder machine from a company with its ro

Belting along Australia’s backroads requires a touring bike that is comfortable and capable — and Suzuki has delivered just that with the 2020 V-Strom 1050XT. We rode the new V-Strom on good bitumen, crappy backroads, hard-packed gravel and even some
