So RUST joined Honda in the UK West Country to assess the progress…Words: JB Images: Nuno Laranjeira I’ve got to hand it to Honda, they have the chassis on the Africa […]

BETA ENDURO 2019
Beta are winning – world championships and in the showrooms. And they’re keen to tell you this is not on the basis of their bikes being ‘ready to race’, but on their ride-ability, ‘friendly feeling’ as they put it. And now they’ve added an even friendlier machine to their range, the RR200. Come on, it’s time […]

Our media-industry liaison, Alex, grabs a quick spin on Ducati’s 1200cc adventure offering and comes away impressed.

We’ve also cottoned on to them potentially making great cross-training devices. And now with our motorcycle manufacturers getting in on the act it […]
FANTIC Caballero
A Caballero – that’s a cavalier in Latin tongues – is a ‘courtly gentleman’ by definition. Sharp-dressed for sure, but do these two have more to offer than just sharp looks?
HONDA CRF450L

ALPINESTARS’ SUPERTECH S-M10
‘Supertech S-M10’ – there’s a clue there in the name. The ‘10’ bit – just as with Alpinestars’ Tech 10 boot, that number denotes top of the range. Alpinestars are entering the dirt bike helmet market at the top, with an all bells and whistles offering that’s set to go head-to-head (of course) with the […]
