  Review: Kawasaki W800 (productReview)
  . At a glance, the W800 could easily be taken for a bike from that era, which is what its retro appeal is all about. However, this latest W800 is far from a rehashed oldie and now comes with a rear disc brake to replace the previous model’s drum. There’s also a reworked engine to make it Euro 4-compliant

  disc brake that comes with ABS anti-locking. At the back, there’s a 220mm disc that isn’t linked to the front and doesn’t have ABS, so you can still lock up the rear to impress your mates outside the chippy. More pertinently, the front brake will ease off the stopping power to avoid it diving

  and changes are crisper, so it’s designed more for use on back roads where you need that greater finesse. What you will also notice is the X-ADV has a chain drive like a standard motorcycle’s, so you get some engine braking when you ease off the throttle. Powering all of this is a 745cc parallel twin

  Review: Suzuki Address 110 2016 (productReview)
  and manageable – if you can cycle then you can ride the Address. Up front there is a single brake disc, with a drum at the rear. Braking is progressive, making smooth stops easy but, if needs must, the Address can come to a halt promptly - though there is no ABS. There is no windscreen and the leg shields

  Review: Ducati Scrambler 2016 (productReview)
  having enough performance to make light work of slow traffic, the Scrambler rarely feels dangerous or difficult to control.

  to lug about. It might be a bit of a "mum, can you carry it?" situation. On the plus side, the motor only controls one rear wheel - which means that after 40 mins or so when the board runs out of juice, it's pretty easy to kick-push like any other skateboard.

  Review: Honda Forza 300 (productReview)
  . Not just because of the load space, but also because it offers a smooth, comfortable ride quality that will keep your damson jam jar intact.

  Review: Razor Crazy Cart Shift (productReview)
