Review: Suzuki Katana (2019) (productReview)
does just enough to allow motorway cruising without being beaten into submission. For faster continental riding, the buffeting would become tiresome. Suzuki’s solution to this is to fit the Katana with a meagre 12.0-litre fuel tank, so you’ll be lucky to see 120 miles before the reserve kicks -
Review: Kawasaki W800 (productReview)
. As such, there’s very little to dislike about the W800, but we do have a couple of niggles to raise. First off, there’s no fuel gauge or miles to empty indicator, so you have to trust to memory how many miles you’ve covered since filling up. It’s not a disaster as the W800 is capable of around 180 miles to a tank -
Review: Aprilia SX125 (productReview)
. One of the most notable parts of this bike where that rings true and Aprilia has saved a few quid is the dash instruments. Yes, it’s a digital LCD screen, but it looks old hat next to most of its rivals and there’s no fuel gauge. That will soon be forgotten by eager learners when they take -
Top 10: Summer accessories for campervans and motorhomes (Article)
Enjoy cooking outdoors without the hassle of buying fuel with the BioLite wood burning stove. The clever bit is that it can not only boil your kettle in under five minutes but also generates electricity to charge your devices, or can store that charge in its own battery -
Review: Yamaha NMAX 125 (productReview)
. Above the storage pouches you’ll find a clear and simple dash with digital display for speed, fuel and temperature. There are all the expected tell-tale warning lights and the small cowl over the dash pod keeps rain off the display. If you want to keep more of the weather away from yourself, you’ll need -
Review: Honda SH300i (productReview)
initially inspire confidence when going quickly. However, you get used to it and we found the SH300i was perfectly comfortable over the longer distances it’s easily capable of travelling. You also get a 9.0-litre fuel tank that offers a range of around 180 miles thanks to a claimed 94.0mpg. In the real -
Review: Honda NSC 50 E Vision (productReview)
windshield and knuckle protectors for a bit more protection from the weather. There are a couple of cubbies on the Vision’s leg protectors but they are open to the elements. You get a bag hook, too, while the dash above is as bare bones simple as the rest of the bike with a speedo, odometer and fuel -

Best classic car insurance for imported vehicles from Japan, America (Article)
Stingray, Dodge Charger all have a huge fan base in the UK. But as well as their gigantic size (and equally gigantic fuel consumption), owning an imported classic can also present a headache when it comes to insurance. That’s because insuring classic cars that have been imported can be more -
ELECTRIC CARS: Is an EV right for me? (FAQs)
of 30 MPH and a range of around 45 miles on a charge. It is exempt from the London congestion tax and parking is free in many areas.

Review: MASH Black Seven 125 (productReview)
it features fuel injection, combined braking and a noticeably higher price than you might expect. So, it only makes sense to compare the Black Seven to another Chinese brand's 125, like -
Review: Lexmoto Enigma 125 (productReview)
. A turn of pace like that makes the Lexmoto ideal for urban journeys, which is where it’s intended to excel. Top whack is 60mph, so you could travel further afield if needed and the engine is happy to whirr away smoothly. Ridden in mixed conditions, we saw fuel consumption close to the claimed 100mpg -
Review: Honda Forza 300 (productReview)
and toppling off unceremoniously. The 25PS is generated by the same 279cc fuel-injected single-cylinder motor as found in the SH300i, so it’s well proven and easy to live with. For this latest Forza, Honda has tweaked the CVT (continuously variable transmission) settings so there’s more mid-range -
Review: Scalextric ARC One American Classics (productReview)
. One of our favourite features is the F1-style starting lights (complete with your reaction time). As well as highlighting who is in the lead and what lap you're on, it also shows fuel level and tyre wear. So during a race, you'll need a pit stop while you wait for your car to be refuelled (and get new -
Review: TomTom Rider 550 (productReview)
). We also like the display bar on the right-hand side of the screen that shows vital information on fuel stations, speed cameras and about the route. An anti-theft device comes standard with the Premium Pack, but it'll cost you £50 -
Review: Vespa GTS 300 (productReview)
of fending off the rain and road muck from vehicles in front. With a slightly more conservative approach to pace and throttle use, Vespa reckons you can get a combined fuel economy of 85.0mpg. During our time on the GTS 300, that was nearer 70mpg, but it’s still good for a scooter of this performance -
Review: Peugeot Django 125 2017 (productReview)
the one most people will buy. The engine is a simple, air-cooled single-cylinder with fuel-injection, linked to a typical twist and go automatic transmission. It’s a tried-and-true scooter recipe and it works well here. The Django is incredibly easy to ride, and yet it has a surprising turn of pace -
