The Caberg Trip is a flip-over motorcycle helmet that genuinely exceeded my expectations. Caberg is a brand I've perhaps overlooked in the past, but after spending some time riding with the Trip, I've found plenty to like about it.

In this review, I take a closer look at the Caberg Trip's flip-over chin bar, comfort, ventilation, noise levels, visor mechanism and overall practicality. It's not without its shortcomings, but there's a lot more to this helmet than its price might suggest.

Could this be one of the better-value flip-over motorcycle helmets on the market?

The Honda CB1000GT drew a queue at Motorcycle Live before it even reached showrooms. Now I’ve finally got my hands on one, does it earn its reputation as a bargain sports tourer?

Join me whilst I find out how it performs on the road, what you get as standard, and whether £11,999 is money well spent.

Great value is one thing. Being a great bike is another. Does the CB1000GT deliver both?

Would it be on your shortlist? Let me know in the comments.

What’s the Yamaha Tracer 7 like on a 3-day UK tour? Join me for a ride around the South West Peninsula as I share my impressions of the bike, its touring luggage and what it’s like to spend three days on the road with it.

The trip was a 'Yamaha Tracer Tour' run by Focused Motorcycle Tours. I also cover the organised tour itself, including the costs and what’s included. If you’re considering a Tracer 7 or a Tracer 9, or fancy joining a guided motorcycle trip, this should give you a taste of the experience.

Suzuki’s SV-7GX gives the much loved SV650 platform a fresh crossover look, but how does it feel on the road? From B-roads to town traffic and motorway miles, I share my thoughts on the V-twin engine, handling, equipment and everyday comfort, including a couple of things that didn’t quite work for me.

With familiar foundations, but a different proposition, has Suzuki given us a whole new reason to love the SV?

SV650 owners past and present: what do you make of it? Let me know in the comments.

Six months of riding in the Klim Carlsbad jacket, across different bikes and through British rain and summer heat. Here’s what’s worked well, where its limitations are, and why I think it offers the best balance of performance and price in Klim’s adventure jacket range.

I cover waterproofing, ventilation, protection, fit, comfort, pockets and wear so far, alongside riding footage and close-up details. I also explain why it’s worth considering for touring as well as adventure riding.

This review is based on my experience so far. Winter performance is still to come, and I’ll revisit the jacket in a full-year update.

The Royal Enfield Bullet is one of the most historic names in motorcycling, and for 2026, it's entering a new chapter with the arrival of the Bullet 650.

I headed to Royal Enfield's UK press event for a first ride on the new bike, following a suitably historic route to Redditch, the former home of Royal Enfield motorcycle production in the UK.

So, does the 650 twin create the ultimate evolution of the Bullet, or has something been lost along the way?

Let me know what you think of the new Bullet 650 in the comments below.

The Shoei Hornet ADV has long been one of my favourite adventure helmets, but the new ADV06 looks remarkably similar to the helmet it replaces. So what's actually changed, and in 2026, is the Hornet still one of the best?

In this first look review, I’ve been putting it through its paces, looking at comfort, noise, ventilation, aerodynamics, practicality as well as the changes made for ECE 22.06

It's certainly taken Shoei a while to bring it to market, but what do you think of their approach? Should they have changed more, or were they right to leave a successful formula largely alone?

Can £600 really buy you good adventure motorcycle gear?

Adventure riding kit can get seriously expensive, with premium helmets, jackets, trousers and boots easily pushing the cost of a complete outfit into the thousands. But how much do you actually need to spend?

I headed to Sportsbikeshop in Norwich with a simple challenge: kit myself out from head to toe with usable adventure motorcycle gear for no more than £600.

That bought me an LS2 Pioneer II helmet, Oxford Calgary jacket and trousers, Richa Adventure boots, plus not one but two pairs of gloves. Oxford Montreal 4s for colder and wetter weather and Spada MX-Air Rev 2s for summer.

But buying it was only the first part of the challenge.

I took everything away and covered hundreds of miles on the bike to find out where the compromises really are. Because while specifications and price tags can tell you what you're buying, they don't tell you what that gear is actually like to live with.

So, can you genuinely kit yourself out for adventure riding for under £600? And perhaps more importantly, where does spending more money actually make the biggest difference?

Thanks to Sportsbikeshop for helping me put this challenge together.

There's no denying how useful a top box is, but they can be pretty ugly and cumbersome. This is where the Givi Trekker Dolomiti DLM30 has answered my prayers. Compact & Secure storage, that looks good!
