Review: Honda PCX 125 (productReview)
. No such worries exist with the PCX. It turns in quickly and faithfully, holds its line even when you open up the throttle hard and the suspension has a quality feel to its reactions. Couple that to Honda’s linked brake system and this is a great scooter for anyone recently in possession of an A1 licence or just -
Review: Sealey PW2012R Rechargeable Pressure Washer (productReview)
or bird poo that's been left to linger, we found it more than capable of cleaning the brake dust off our alloy wheels. Talking of wheels, it comes with four of them. That makes it easy to move around, even when it's full of water. Unfortunately, it also means it moves around more when it's -
Review: YI Ultra Dashcam (productReview)
, but from a safety perspective it captures as much as possible. Driving data isn’t displayed within the live screen but after 10 minutes of driving a ‘driving report’ is produced that contains speed, acceleration and braking data -
Top 10: Best scooters under £2000 (Article)
and shun the retro style of many others. The 125cc four-stroke engine can strut just enough to live up to the appearance. The top speed of 55mph feels trained, but up to 50mph the Diablo is a wee devil. It also has nimble handling and strong anchors, which feature a combined braking system to give -
Review: Sealey MAC03 tyre inflator (productReview)
, while you can expect braking performance to be compromised as well. That’s where portable compact air compressors like the Sealey MAC03 come in handy. At just under £70, it’s certainly not a budget option like -
Review: Norco Fluid 2 HT (2019) (productReview)
this. When you need to stop, the Fluid 2’s hydraulic brakes do an excellent job of scrubbing off speed, while the SR Suntour suspension fork can be locked easily when you hit the tarmac. While hardtails are firmer than full-suspension bikes, the Fluid 2’s chunky tyres offer a fairly smooth ride even -

Are Car Service Plans Worth It? (Article)
in the small print, and what is and is not included within the bundled price. It is highly likely you will have to pay for the replacement of some consumable items if they are picked up as needing attention during a planned service, such as brake discs and tyres, so you need to factor this in accordingly -

Review: Nextbase 412GW dash cam (productReview)
like any other dash camera, switching on when it gets power and then automatically recording short clips until full. It then loops over old footage, so it’s always on. If the built-in G sensor detects something unusual, such as hard braking or a bump, it will mark the footage to be saved, so it won’t -
Review: Nextbase 622GW dash cam (productReview)
a rear camera, while the other side sees a power button and an SD card slot. At the bottom of the touchscreen and, there's a red button that you can tap to make sure important footage is saved.

Review: Yamaha YS125 (productReview)
it for fun. This is down to the way it handles in corners and on roundabouts, where the 18-inch tyres offer plenty of grip allied to a fuss-free ride. Together, they make for easy commuting and are helped along by a very tight turning circle, low seat height and decent brakes, though ABS is absent -
Review: KTM 125 Duke (productReview)
side to get a foot flat on the floor. On the move, that becomes irrelevant and the 125 gives the impression of being a bigger machine while still slotting through traffic with balletic disdain for even the narrowest gaps. Strong brakes, which are unchanged from before, offer good control. Our -
Review: See.Sense ICON2 (productReview)
. They’ll also work as a brake light and, working in conjunction with the app, they can even act as a bike theft monitor. The ICON2 has 300 lumens in the rear and 400 in the front, with each light containing two different types of LEDs (for both a focused and dispersed beam). This makes you visible -
Review: Honda Izy HRG 416 SK (productReview)
. The Honda 160cc OHC 4-stroke petrol engine starts smoothly and quickly, with surprisingly little effort required thanks to the self-propelled start; for safety reasons a blade brake stops the blades promptly when the cuts out promptly as soon as you release the bar -
Review: Honda Forza 125 2017 (productReview)
this is a 125 though – meaning acceleration can be a little sluggish out of turns, especially at more than 35mph. But obviously it’s in town where the Forza really shines. It might be quite bulky, but it feels light and has intuitive controls, strong brakes and smooth, surprisingly potent acceleration up -
Review: Kawasaki Z250SL 2016 (productReview)
. Handling is nimble and immediate. The light weight of the Z250SL really helps here, making turns incredibly easy – you can almost think your way through bends, since so little physical effort is needed to lean in. The brakes are surprisingly strong and progressive, but the standard tyres aren’t -
Review: Ducati SuperSport 2017 (productReview)
there are beautifully set up Brembo brakes that are strong and communicative. And then there’s the handling. The suspension is wonderful, absorbing road imperfections and potholes while remaining taught and crisp through twists and turns, giving an almost telepathic level of feedback. It really does feel
