Road tests

Have you ever spent 24 hours riding a Harley-Davidson Road Glide Special around the most beautiful roads in Italy? Our Roberto Francia does and in this exciting story he tries to make us relive this more unique than rare experience

The new Sym Joymax Z 300 transmits functional performance, adequate comfort and an interesting quality/price ratio

In contact with the renewed BMW R 1250 GS, powered by a robust 1254 cc twin-cylinder boxer engine that delivers 136 horsepower of maximum power

Satisfying, comfortable and fun to drive, the new BMW R 1250 R, thanks to an exceptional engine and top chassis, is sincere and communicative. A riot of technology and comfort, further emphasized by the new generation semi-active suspensions. The boxer grows in displacement (1254 cm3), power (+11 hp) and torque (+18 Nm) and with the new variable valve timing system it is now worthy of praise

A school located in the province of Pavia and aimed at those who want to learn techniques and live an experience on two wheels off the asphalt. Also reported is the possibility of renting one of the ten Triumph-branded motorbikes made available

On the occasion of the new "Triumph Adventure Experience" initiative, try some Steet Twin models which offer a certain ease of driving and offer sensations of freedom and fun, but also Scrambler 1200 XC. An ambivalent motorcycle, without limits on and off asphalt

Three different possible configurations for this integral from the Bergamo company, a faithful travel companion in our road tests.

Test - with motorbikes of different engine sizes and sizes - of the new Michelins, a 360° tyre, designed to offer the best both on asphalt and off-road

Between asphalt and (a lot of) dirt, in southern Sardinia, with the new BMW globetrotter. More attractive than the standard version and less demanding than the R 1250 GS.

In the beautiful streets of Tenerife the Tokyo house does things big. A triple test to put the new small 500 cc twins to the test. We climbed to the top of the Teide volcano, they want the top of the market.

With its small size and light weight, the big sister of the HPS family is suitable for meeting the favor of those looking for an easy, fun and pleasant motorbike to ride. Innovative shapes but inextricably linked to the past, give life to a low-cost scrambler capable of providing pleasant sensations

Refined aesthetics, valuable details, excellent interpretation of the most classic and beloved English twin-cylinder. The Speed ​​Twin is all this, and what's more, it offers excellent dynamic qualities, high-level handling and performance

Dedicated to the very young, this new bike from the Iwata company can be appreciated even by the older ones

The Yamaha R-Series range has grown: new chassis and new engine characterize this new small super sports car, with a look that increasingly resembles its bigger sisters R6 and R1

The latest evolution of Michelin's popular sport-touring tire has impressed with the grip and stability that it manages to maintain even in the wet after covering 5000 km. We decided to raise the stakes by mounting it on an old-time sports car to see what it can actually do

There are nine of the many tests, to which we add two very interesting surprises in closing, waiting to start with a 2019 that we hope will be extraordinary!

Fantic Motor Caballero 125 Flat Track, the legend that made the history of two wheels a few decades ago is back. Few horses, but good ones.

Entry level offroad, an all-rounder for weekend trips or for everyday travel, perfect from the expert rider to the girl who wants to enter the world of two wheels

A little gem: very comfortable, compact, with a pleasant design, an excellent well-crafted project, the NIU is an excellent (and economical, it costs only 2.300 euros) scooter for moving around the city without polluting

Both have 650 cc twin-cylinder engines, but they differ in their approach, a little sportier for the German maxi scooter, while the Japanese is unbeatable in terms of comfort. Prices for both are important: 12.050 euros for the BMW C 650 GT, 860 less for the Suzuki Burgman 650 Executive

Its qualities still make it current: comfort, performance and ease of driving. The electro-assisted gearbox is excellent, eliminating the clutch lever

For the 115th anniversary of the Milwaukee giant, eight components of the Softail range have been completely renewed and equipped with a new carbon steel frame that is 65% lighter and stiffer than the previous model. With double disc front brakes, muscular look and 2-1-2 upswept exhaust system powered by the powerful Milwaukee-Eight 114, this incredible bobber in a modern key has all it takes to dictate the law

It can be used all year round, because it makes winter a perfect season for riding, making the cold a problem. With the new 1250 it now has greater sportiness at the top and impressive regularity at the bottom

Feeling eyes on you and being proud of it is a priceless feeling. Nothing could be more obvious if we found ourselves driving a latest generation super sports car or perhaps on a custom capable of attracting attention thanks to an exhaust that sounds better than the Vienna Philharmonic. But no: here is the result of the Monkey effect!
