Was interested in the new Honda CMX1100 Rebel and looked on the Honda website and played their sound of the engine which presumably was intended to attract purchasers. All I could hear was a lot of rattling and a tinny sounding exhaust ,not what I would have expected and it wouldn't help...

I am now looking at a 2016 Suzuki V Strom, the road based version without the beak , not the XT .Haven't sat on it yet but I am slightly concerned about the seat height (although I know Lust do lowering links that lower the seat by up to 40mm apparently ) Buffeting also seems an issue according...

I am looking at a 2019 Yamaha mt07 tracer which looks and feels good although I haven't had a test ride yet. Looking at reviews on utube you can never seem to get an honest opinion or you get conflicting views. From my experience of some previous bikes I have owned, I am concerned about wind...

I have that trouble as well ! Has anybody noticed how jacket sizes vary so wildly, I have some jackets up to 5xl in order to fit. but an AGV Sport Hawk textile jacket only 2xl with plenty of room ?!

I see road racing is resuming at Cadwell Park circuit in July with a classic bike events weekend . I suppose if social distancing is still in place it will be achievable with spectators spread around the circuit. I look forward to going.

Is it worth part exchanging a 2018 cb650f for a 2019 cb650r ? Don't know how much to swap but the cb650f has done 15,000 miles and the cb650r 5,000 miles. What does anybody think?

I don't know whether I should admit it but I have been watching the Orange County Choppers/Paul Junior Designs programme and am not sure when it was actually filmed. Paul senior's mother died a couple of programmes ago and Paul junior won a build off against his father and Jesse James. I don't...

Please don't take this as a cue for a coronavirus discussion, and I am only referring to England, but how do riders interpret the UK government's latest announcement that from Wednesday we can ' drive to a destination ' ? !

I want to add another horn , a plain round LEC horn, and hang it below the existing horn to make twin horns and presumably more noise. Can I simply connect the new horn in series from the existing horn terminals without adding a relay ?

With this lockdown and the bike in the garage the front brakes are starting to stick. Tapped the calipers with a rubber mallet and it frees them a bit but has anybody any tips for dealing with this situation ? The bike was serviced only a few weeks ago but I did ride it a bit on salty roads...

Anybody know the situation in England regarding going for a bike ride under the new restrictions ,if you didn't meet up with anybody and stopped in an isolated location say? Presume it would be regarded as not essential and at some point you would have to stop to fill up with petrol !

The finish on my 2018 cb650f rear footrest hangers is looking a bit 'tarnished', if that is the right word, or blotchy . I know how to polish untreated aluminium but am not sure what the finish is on these hangers. Does anybody know how to restore the finish ,if possible ?

Tempted by a 2016 Honda VFR800 with about 24,000 miles on the clock ! Would be a part exchange for my cb650f which I have only had a year, but I find as I get older I am prepared to swap more regularly ( although I know I shouldn't !) Anybody know about the VFR800 ? Pretty sure they are a good...

Excuse my ignorance but , you know with 'old' carburettor fuelled engines you would have carbs tuned/synchronised occasionally, is there any routing 'tuning' required on fuel injection with ECU engine bikes apart from changing spark plugs at recommended intervals ?

Fitted mudflap below number plate, plastic extension to rear hugger and contoured plastic extension to existing front mudguard Pyramid 'fenda extenda'. Hope this will stop some of the crap flying all over the bike . (forget the tail tidies !) May sound hideous but I think it looks ok.

Not really a big criticism but an observation . Could be because my last bike was a cbf1000fa which was very 'planted' , but I find the cb650f turns in almost too easily ! If just the back end was lowered ( sidestand would need shortening I believe ) how would that affect the handling ?

The paint is coming off in parts of the exhaust muffler on my 2018 cb650f which is still under manufacturer's 2 year warranty. Is it worth making a claim under the Honda warranty ?

Had a scarey ride back home in the dark yesterday. Only about 20 miles but I wear spectacles under the full face helmet visor and find with spray from other vehicles on to visor and dazzle from approaching vehicles headlights visibility can be so bad I can't see properly for a split second or...
