In the August/September issue of Bike Rider Magazine, Chad heads to the launch of the stunning new Triumph Speed Triple 1200RS. And despite the weather being decidedly damp, it meant he got to sample the new electronics including the crazy new wheelie control that can turn any rider into a wheelstand legend (almost…).

Paul heads out on two adventure bikes at opposite ends of the affordability spectrum, with the new CFMoto 800MT-X offering all the adventure kicks many riders require in an extremely affordable package. Then he got to sample the other end of the scale, with a few weeks on the incredible BMW R 1300 GS Adventure. Yep, it’s not the prettiest bikes in the world, but it’s got pretty much everything you could ever want on an adventure tourer.

And finally, Neil got to spend some time commuting and scratching on the updates Yamaha MT-07LAMS. Commonly thought of as the LAMS bike by which all others are judged – it really is the benchmark, it’s that good – he enjoyed his time with the funky machine in various different scenarios.

Alan fills us in on two very special tests, the Moriwaki Honda CBX750TT1 which was their last hurrah in the air-cooled race scene, and then a very special privateer TZ750 with a remarkable story. Chad fills us in on just how much Bridgestone’s new T33 tyres have blended the margins between sport and tour while also offering massive increases in distance, and we have another instalment from our man in Africa, who loves an adventure on his Aprilia Taureg 660.

All this and more in the August/September issue of Bike Rider Magazine.
