https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/rss https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/ktm-1390-super-duke-rr THE TOP OF THE FOODCHAIN The KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE RR TRACK is the first track-only SUPER DUKE model in the KTM lineup, weighing in at 23 kg less than the standard KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R. Hand built at KTM HQ in Mattighofen, Austria and devoid of any components that could make it street-legal, it is engineered to strict FIM racetrack regulations, with a level of race-ready customization and equipment never before seen on a production-model KTM. THE BODY The KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE RR TRACK embraces its Nakedness like never before. Stripped down to its bare essentials in a relentless pursuit of weight reduction, the motorcycle has used carbon fibre extensively, while all unnecessary parts and panels have been discarded. The result is that an ultra-lean, ultra-nimble, no-compromise Hypernaked track weapon that prioritizes performance over comfort, made to break rules and shatter boundaries. TFT Display & Connectivity Welcome to the best user interface in the segment. An 8.8-inch landscape TFT display further elevates the class-leading user experience. Featuring an inductive touchscreen that works with both winter gloves and bare hands, with enhanced readability thanks to Anti-Reflex, Anti-Fingerprint, and Anti Glare coatings, with a 256,000 color capability, light sensor, status LED, and upgraded Trips 2.0 interface improve usability. Offline map navigation is also standard on this model. Air Intake A proven ram air system for a more direct air flow, and a new airbox means the KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE RR breathes like THE BEAST it is. With approximately 10 liters of airbox capacity, it consumes oxygen like a cheetah at full pace, while the design ensures easy maintenance when the need arises. Engine The KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE RR is a torque-hungry, epically powerful, and exciting BEAST. Boasting new CAMSHIFT technology, a 1:1 power-to-weight ratio, and nuclear power station outputs of 190 PS and 145 Nm of torque, this is the latest and fully revised version of the bellowing LC8 V-twin engine. What that means is that the KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE RR doesn't propel itself forward; rather, it spins the world below it. Seat Held up by an ultra-lightweight single-piece carbon fiber undertray, the adjustable single seat fitted on the 1390 SUPER DUKE RR is developed for maximum grip while allowing the rider to move freely on the bike. The seat shape and seat foam provide good levels of comfort for both long track sessions and hard charges on the street. No pillions were considered in the making of this model! Brakes Brembo HyPure Sport front brake calipers brace the KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE RR's front end. The MCS (multiple-click system) hand brake lever offers increased adjustability, reduced lever force, lighter weight, and a more consistent pressure point. This is paired with a set of floating 320 mm discs, while the rear uses a twin-piston floating caliper and a 240 mm disk. Additionally, the Brembo brake and clutch cylinders feature a self-venting system, which eliminates the need to bleed the hydraulic systems and provides maximum braking performance. Tank At 17,5 liters, the KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE RR's tank is 1,5 liters larger than its predecessor. THE BEAST can extend its range to 300 km, while added winglets increase downforce and reduce front-wheel lift. It's smart too, incorporating KTM's signature RACE ON fuel cap for keyless fill-ups. THE BEAST - ENOUGH IS NEVER ENOUGH Want the recipe to pure, unadulterated NAKED performance? Take a fearsome 1350cc V-twin powerplant with CAMSHIFT technology. Add in a sublime chassis with lightweight 7-spoke forged wheels wrapped in Michelin Power GP Hypersport rubber for agility. Then, reach for the highest shelf, and add a dash of MotoGP-derived WP PRO COMPONENTS, with freshly squeezed BREMBO brakes. Lastly, fold it all together with a full set of carbon parts for added exclusivity, and serve with the most complete electronics pack ever seen on a KTM. The result? Say hello to the KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE RR - a single seater with full fury just waiting to be unleashed. RIDE WORRY FREE This motorcycle comes with a PREMIUM MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY.

To mark 15 years of riding dapper, Triumph has crafted this unique Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer as the Gentlefolk Prize. TRIUMPH AND THE DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMANS RIDE Triumph became the official motorcycle partner of the DGR in 2014, bringing a commitment to increase awareness, grow participation and ultimately increase fundraising in support of this worthy cause. OFFICIAL MOTORCYCLE PARTENER The Distinguished Gentlemans Ride 2026 BRINGING TOGETHER AGLOBAL COMMUNITY Mark Hawwa, Founder and Director of The Distinguished Gentlemans Ride, added: 2026 marks a significant milestone for The Distinguished Gentlemans Ride as we celebrate our 15th annual ride. That's 15 years of bringing together a global community united by style, purpose, and a shared commitment to mens health. What began as a small ride has grown into a worldwide movement, with hundreds of thousands of riders coming together to raise vital funds and awareness for prostate cancer research and mens mental health. STYLE AND PRESENCE The elegant sports styling is defined by the low, tucked riding position created by the clip-on bars, the streamlined single-seat profile and the refined attention to detail throughout the motorcycle. Machined bar-end mirrors reinforce the bikes clean silhouette, while ribbed clutch and alternator cover badges, black head bolt covers and sculpted knee pads add subtle but distinctive detailing. Practical touches include pillion footpeg finishers, with the footpegs removed as standard and supplied in the crate for owners who wish to reinstate two-up capability. TRIPLE POWERED PERFORMANCE The Cafe Racer Edition gains a striking Competition Green and Aluminium Silver colour scheme that blends contemporary elegance with classic racing heritage. Inspired by the iconic British Racing Green shade, this modern interpretation delivers a fresh yet familiar celebration of Triumphs racing history. The fuel tank is finished in Aluminium Silver as the primary colour, delivering a clean, modern metallic base with subtle depth and sheen. Competition Green panels form the secondary graphics, creating a modern, visual split. SPEED TWIN 1200 CAFE RACER DGR EDITION Inspired by the original British cafe racers of the 1960s, this exclusive model is based on the Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer Limited Edition, and features the Harris Tweed bullet seat, clip-on handlebars, a unique 15 Years of Dapper anniversary graphic and number board and a unique Certificate of Authenticity. Completing the look is an exclusive British racing-inspired colour scheme, combining Competition Green and Aluminium Silver paintwork with Aluminium Silver wheels and a colour-coded Competition Green headlight bowl. THRILLING AND CHARACTERFUL SPORTS PERFORMANCE Power comes from Triumphs highcompression Bonneville 1200 twin engine, producing 105 PS at 7,750 rpm and delivering strong, sustained performance all the way to the 8,000 rpm rev limit. The distinctive 270degree firing order, combined with a lowinertia crankshaft, ensures an immediate throttle response and characterful power delivery, while strong torque is maintained throughout the rev range, peaking at an impressive 112 Nm. A WORK OF ART A precisely applied Empire Gold coachline defines the transition between colours, adding a handcrafted, premium detail, while the Cafe Racer Edition graphic in Empire Gold completes the tank with a clear sense of exclusivity. The twotone theme continues across the seat cowl, finished primarily in Competition Green with Aluminium Silver detailing, and highlighted by a matching Empire Gold coachline that mirrors the tank and provides visual continuity from front to rear. The side panels, also finished in Competition Green, feature a bold Number 12 graphic in Aluminium Silver. For more information Visit Laguna Triumph.

THE BEAST, EVOLVED The KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R EVO is truly an evolved BEAST. Not only does it share the same advancement as the all-new KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R, but it also brings intuitive WP Semi-Active Suspension Technology (SAT) to the fore.

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/honda-st125-dax Real Retro Charm Why is the Dax, called the Dax you might ask? Its because its T-shaped pressed-steel mainframe looks rather like a Dachshund dog. Constructed with 21st century engineering know-how its both sturdy and stylish. All the other parts are perfect in period detail; the high mini-ape handlebars, off-road-inspired upswept exhaust muffler and dual seat all give the Dax its unmistakable, charming form. Born in the late 1960s The Dax captured everything that made driving joyful-compact proportions, a relaxed, willing engine, and feather-light steering. Decades later, those same qualities make it even more fun to drive today. Designed with everyone in mind, the Dax makes riding feel natural from the first moment. Its low 775mm seat height and relaxed, upright stance inspire confidence, while quality suspension31mm USD front forks and twin rear shockssmooths out the road. Wide tyres front and rear add stability and grip, and single-channel ABS ensures calm, controlled braking for total peace of mind. Eye-Catching Details Its all the small things that catch the eye. The chromed rear grab rail is styled just right and also provides a neat handhold for a passenger. A cover protects the final drive chain from the elements (and loose clothing) while blacked-out, 12-inch 5-spoke wheels add a touch of modernity. As does full LED lighting and a compact, circular negative LCD instrument display full of the information you need, and nothing else.

Full LED lighting completes the package with modern style and clear visibility. Robust and Efficient Riding Built for durability and smooth delivery.

To make life even more straightforward, a centrifugal clutch does away with a clutch lever just open the throttle and go. Shifting through all four gears is via the foot lever, but the system does all the work Motorcycles Make Memories Magic ones, too. That first twist of throttle, the feeling of moving forward, of individuality. Of freedom. This is what the Dax does.

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/ktm-delivers-when-it-matters-mostdakar-2026 In a moment that could not have been more symbolic, KTM has once again proven why it remains one of the most resilient and capable motorcycle manufacturers in the world. At the 2026 Dakar Rally motorsports ultimate test of endurance, engineering, and belief Red Bull KTM Factory Racing emerged victorious in the most decisive way imaginable. Luciano Benavides claimed overall Dakar Rally victory by just two seconds after nearly two weeks of relentless competition across Saudi Arabia. Riding the KTM 450 RALLY, the Argentine fought until the very last kilometer, demonstrating not only exceptional talent but the reliability, competitiveness, and fighting spirit that have long defined KTM machinery. It was a victory built on persistence, teamwork, and trust in the brand values that extend far beyond the race bivouac. This win marks KTMs 21st Dakar Rally title, reinforcing a legacy that spans decades and generations. It also continues a remarkable family tradition for the Benavides name, following earlier Dakar wins by Lucianos brother Kevin. In an era where questions are often asked about the future of manufacturers in a changing industry, KTMs performance at Dakar offers a clear and reassuring answer: the company remains deeply committed, technically strong, and fully capable of winning at the highest level. Behind the headline victory, KTMs broader Dakar story was equally reassuring. Daniel Sanders, despite carrying injuries during the second week of the rally, pushed through pain and adversity to finish an impressive fifth overall. His determination reflected the depth of KTMs factory program and the resilience of its riders champions who finish races even when circumstances turn against them. For Edgar Canet, Dakar 2026 marked a major step forward. Competing in RallyGP for the first time, the young Spaniard immediately demonstrated KTMs ability to nurture the next generation of elite talent. Winning the prologue, stage one, and the final stage and becoming the youngest stage winner in bike category history Canets performance sent a clear message about KTMs future pipeline. Even after setbacks, the speed and competitiveness of the KTM package never faded. Team Manager Andreas Hlzl summed it up best: Dakar is never over until the final meter. KTM fought every one of them. Importantly, KTMs success was not limited to the factory team. In Rally2, Toni Mulec secured class victory aboard the KTM 450 RALLY REPLICA, confirming the strength of KTMs customer racing program. In the demanding Malle Moto category, Benjamin Melot finally claimed Dakar victory after years of near-misses another testament to the durability and competitiveness of KTM machinery in the harshest conditions imaginable. When the dust settled in Saudi Arabia, the message was unmistakable. KTM did not merely survive Dakar 2026 it dominated key categories, supported riders at every level, and delivered one of the closest and most compelling victories in the events history. As Red Bull KTM Factory Racing now turns its focus to the remainder of the rally-raid season, the foundation is clear: a proven motorcycle, a deep roster of talent, and a racing philosophy built on perseverance and belief. In a sport where only the strongest endure, KTM has once again shown that it is not only still here it is still winning.

According to the latest motorcycle registration data published by the MCIA, the overall market closed -9% down compared to October 2024, with the year-to-date performance sitting at -14.7%. In stark contrast, VOGE motorcycles bucked this downward trend, posting an encouraging 165% increase in registrations compared to October 2024.

The new Triumph TXP range is the result of that collaboration; four new models with scalable electric performance, premium design, and built-in safety features. Supporting riders at every stage of their development, from finding their balance to mastering technical terrain, each bike is engineered from the ground up with age-specific frames, geometry, controls, and components. Everything is scaled and optimised for the rider's size and experience. Building upon the proven foundation of OSETs pioneering technology and enhanced by Triumphs design and engineering expertise, the new TXP models feature a lightweight chassis, advanced rider ergonomics, a unique 2in1 modular set-up, and Triumphs striking Performance Yellow and Graphite Black livery. TXP-12: The Perfect Start for the Youngest Riders The TXP-12 is designed for children aged 3 to 5, offering a safe and confidence-building introduction to motorcycling. With its lightweight steel frame, the TXP-12 is just 22.7kg in Trials set up, making it easy to lift, manoeuvre, and control. Its low seat height, just 360mm in Trials mode, and 445mm in Explore mode, allows young riders to plant both feet firmly on the ground, while child-sized grips and short-reach brake levers ensure comfortable operation. The TXP-12 has a Triumph-tuned 600W 43V brushless motor, and the sealed, high-capacity battery pack provides up to three hours of light riding or shorter sessions at full power in trials mode. An integrated LED panel shows real-time battery state of charge so riders or parents can easily monitor usage, and charging is made easy with tool-free battery removal, a twist-lock connector and built-in carry handle. The TXP-12 features Triumphs unique 2in1 modular set up, featuring a removable seat and modular mudguard, helping build balance and coordination from the earliest stages. Starting from 1,595 TXP-16: The Next Step in Confidence, Power, and Control For riders aged 5 to 7, the TXP-16 builds on the foundation of the TXP-12 with increased power, upgraded suspension, and a slightly larger chassis.

The TXP-16 introduces hydraulic disc brakes for stronger, more progressive stopping power, and features a scaled steel frame with a 870mm wheelbase for improved stability. Like the TXP-12, it benefits from two-in-one modular setup, allowing riders to switch between seated and standing configurations in seconds. Engineered for growing riders, the TXP-16 has a 27.2kg frame weight for light, agile handling. Ergonomics are carefully considered, with a 550mm seat height in Xplore mode and 450mm in Trials mode, ensuring easy footing and control.

Starting from 2,295 TXP-20: Built for Competition and Play The TXP-20 is designed for riders aged 7 to 10 who are ready to explore more technical terrain or enter junior trials competitions. With a powerful 1600W motor and a high-capacity 50V, 28Ah lithium battery, the TXP-20 offers extended range, up to 22mph top speed and increased torque for confident off-road riding. Triumphs tuning ensures smooth throttle mapping across all four rider modes, whether configured for trail exploration or trials precision. Suspension is significantly upgraded, with a 125mm air-sprung front fork and a 120mm rear monoshock, both featuring rebound adjustment. The larger steel chassis has a 1085mm wheelbase and weighs from 40.7kg depending on its configuration. Front and rear 180mm dual-piston hydraulic discs provide strong, reliable stopping power. Tailored to this age group, seat height to 525mm in Trials mode or 700mm in Xplore mode, and ground clearance is 255mm, supporting confident footing and adaptability for different riding styles and abilities. As well as the unique modular riding setup the TXP-20 has diagnostic-ready electronics, showing system fault codes and service alerts for quick troubleshooting and allowing quick servicing. Starting from 3,195 TXP-24: Big Performance, Youth-Friendly Control The TXP-24 is the most powerful and versatile model in the TXP range, designed for riders aged 10 and above, offering serious off-road capability and championship-winning performance for older youths and adults up to 90kg. It features a 1600W motor paired with a 50V, 28Ah lithium battery, deliver up to 24mph top speed and extended ride time.

Tue, 10 Dec 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/dean-brings-home-the-technician-of-the-year-award-for-ukireland-2024 Technician of the Year Award 2024 Whats involved in becoming a Harley-Davidson University Technician of the Year? Here are each of the rounds that a technician has to go through to be eligiable, qualifiy and go through to the knockout stages. Identifying Eligible Participants Technician of the Year Award begins at the dealership. Participation in Technician of the Year Award Competition is open to authorised Harley-Davidson dealership technicians (EMEA only) who have successfully completed all assigned Technician certification eLearnings. Dean hold's a vast amount of certifications as Master Technician at Maidstone Harley-Davidson. Qualifying In the Qualifier Round, Dean had to record and submit a two-minute video document demonstrating evidence of recent social media and public recognition of factory trained technician status within the Maidstone dealerships. If approved, the technician is advanced to the Preliminary Round. Preliminary Round During this round, again Dean had to record a three-minute video describing one (or more) processes within the dealership promoteing integration and collaboration across departments that benefits a customer. The Knockout Stage At this stage submission are based on knowledge within a limited timeframe, a real test that requires achieving a minimum of an 80% score, needless to say, Dean passed through this with flying colours. Finals Finalists are then invited to participate online in the Technician of the Year Award Virtual Skills Assessment. A demanding test requiring a technicians to complete a series of technical procedures which demonstrate skills and service procedures within a limited timeframe using augmented reality. The Top scorers from this round from each market receive an invitation to the Technician of the Year Award EMEA Final Round held at Harley-Davidson University in Bonn. EMEA FINAL ROUND WINNER This prestigious event is conducted at the Harley-Davidson University training facility in Bonn, Germany. During which those skilled participants who have made it so the final round compete live in front of a panel of judges. Demonstrating their technical competencies and expertise as they address the needs of a fictitious scenario. Out of 8 regional markets in the EMEA only 5 regions were successful in qualifying for the final, those regions were UKI (UK and Ireland), France, Spain, SGM (Strategic Growth Market) and Nordics. Dean's Thoughts Over the past few months, I have had the pleasure of competing in the Harley Davidson Technician of the Year Award. It has been a tough few months challenging the limit of my skills, knowledge and experience that I have gained over the 8 years I have spent working for Maidstone Harley Davidson. I am honoured to say that these years of hard work, dedication and effort have resulted in me being awarded Technician of the Year for UK and Ireland. This achievement would not have been possible without the support of the Maidstone Harley Davidson team, as well as the training programs and content set up by HDU (Harley Davidson University) team and trainers. It was amazing to be involved in the competition final and compete alongside the best 5 technicians in the EMEA. Im looking forward to the next Technician of the Year competition, where I can hopefully bring home the award not only for the UK and Ireland but also for the whole of the EMEA.

Tue, 15 Oct 2024 00:00:00 BST https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/ktm-shifts-into-high-gear-with-revolutionary-automated-manual-transmission-amt KTM Shifts into High Gear with Revolutionary Automated Manual Transmission KTM has elevated the riding experience by introducing the cutting-edge Automated Manual Transmission (AMT), blending the effortless convenience of an automatic with the precision and thrill of a manual transmissionall while maintaining KTMs renowned "READY TO RACE" DNA. Showcased in action by Johnny Aubert at the legendary Red Bull Erzbergrodeo, KTMs AMT redefines performance by offering riders a seamless balance between sporty dynamics and refined usability. This innovative gearbox provides unparalleled versatility across all riding conditions, from aggressive off-road challenges to smooth, everyday commuting. Precision Meets Simplicity The AMT system gives riders the flexibility to choose between two modes: Manual Mode (M Mode): Manual shifting without the need for a clutch, preserving the rider's engagement and control. Automatic Mode (A Mode): Effortless, fully automated gear shifts, ideal for relaxed, everyday riding. Once first gear is engaged, the centrifugal clutch takes over, ensuring easy starts and no stalling. This makes tricky scenarios like starting on slopes, pulling away, or navigating at low speeds incredibly smooth and controlled, especially on larger motorcycles. Advanced Gear Setup Breaking away from traditional motorcycle gearboxes, KTMs AMT features a unique P N 1 2 3 4 5 6 sequence. The PARK position prevents unwanted rolling, using a locking mechanism in the gearbox. Both PARK and NEUTRAL are selected via the handlebar paddle, ensuring full control, even when the engine is off. The rider must apply the brake before engaging first gear, adding an extra layer of safety and precision. Unmatched Shifting Speed Shifts are electronically managed through the bikes ECU and Transmission Control Unit (TCU), with an electromechanical actuator controlling the shift drum. This results in lightning-fast gear changes of just 50 milliseconds, delivering a performance level comparable to KTMs Quickshifter+ system. The Best of Both Worlds What truly sets KTMs AMT apart is its Manual Mode. Riders can take full control by shifting gears either through the traditional foot lever or the paddle shift on the handlebar, preserving that READY TO RACE feeling with no compromises in agility or speed. KTM has meticulously engineered the AMT to maintain the proportions and weight of a traditional gearbox, ensuring no sacrifice in performance. Customizable for Every Rider The AMT integrates seamlessly with KTMs RIDE modes, allowing riders to fine-tune their setup to match individual preferences and riding scenarios. Whether on the track, off-road, or cruising through the city, the system offers unmatched flexibility. The groundbreaking AMT will debut on select KTM models, with more additions to follow, cementing KTMs place at the forefront of motorcycle innovation. Tue, 08 Oct 2024 00:00:00 BST https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/chriss-rocket-3-experience Europe on the Rocket III: A Bucket List Adventure Chris just got back from an epic, bucket list trip around Europe on his Triumph Rocket III TFC. After a few shorter camping runs, I finally put it to the test on a longer journey and it did not disappoint The Rocket III handled all conditions flawlessly and carried enough gear to make camping comfortable, proving itself as the ultimate travel companion. THE ROUTE The trip covered a massive loop through Europe, starting and ending in Calais, with stops in Sicily, Dubrovnik, Peenemunde on the Baltic Sea, and back to Calais. It was a perfect blend of diverse landscapes, history, and adventure. ROUTE HIGHLIGHTS: 5,581 miles covered average speed of 55.8 mph Calais Sicily Dubrovnik Peenemunde Calais/home 34 days on the road 33 nights away ACCOMMODATIONBREAKDOWN Out of the 33 nights, Chris mixed it up between hotels, camping, and a stay with a friend. Here's how it worked out: 21 nights in hotels 11 nights under camping 1 night at a friends During the solo part of the trip, I stayed 14 nights in hotels and 11 nights camping. I usually camp when Im out in nature, but for city sightseeing, I prefer the comfort of a hotel. this trip had a good balance of both. BEST ROADS Motorways can really make or break a long ride. Here are the standouts for Chris: Best motorways: Croatia and Slovenia offered smooth, well-maintained roads, ideal for long-distance cruising. Urban traffic can be unpredictable, and I had my fair share of it on this trip. Best traffic: Berlins traffic moved surprisingly well, making city riding much less stressful. THE PLACE TO BE Europe is steeped in history, and Chris made the most of it. Best art and culture: Florence, Siena, and Rome stood out for their rich history and breathtaking art. Best military history: Peenemunde, Berlin, and walking through three different submarines were unforgettable. The museums were incredible too. Nature and Scenery The natural beauty of Europe was one of the best parts of the trip. Here are the top spots: Best nature: Walchensee, San Bernardino Pass, and Camp Bironica in Croatia were awe-inspiring. The entire Croatian coastline was stunning. Best scenery: Sicily and Croatiaboth offered dramatic, jaw-dropping views that Ill never forget. HITS & MISSES The Triumph Rocket III was the star of the trip! Reliable, powerful, and adaptable to any situation, whether cruising on the autostrada or tackling twisty alpine roads. Top trip performers: Triumph Rocket III: Not a single issue, an absolute beast of a bike. TomTom GPS: Made navigation a breeze. 61-litre Givi luggage: Held all my gear and then some. Digital tire pressure pump: A must-have for long trips. Camping/cooking equipment: Made outdoor living comfortable and convenient. Gear fails: Reserve battery pack: Died on me, so Ill need a new one before my next adventure. Air mattress: Couldnt hold air through the night, leading to uncomfortable mornings unless I re-inflated it in the middle of the night. Ill definitely need to find a more reliable option before the next camping trip. Its a common camper's problem! THE NEXT ADVENTURE Next year, Chris is aiming for Scandinavia. After this successful European loop, Chris is eager to explore more of what Europe has to offer. With 38,676 miles on the clock, the Triumph Rocket III has proven itself time and again. It was the perfect choice for this adventure!

Tue, 01 Oct 2024 00:00:00 BST https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/mcns-sportsbike-of-the-year-2024-suzuki-gsx-8r Introducing the Suzuki GSX-8R: MCNs 2024 Sportsbike of the Year Here at Laguna Motorcycles, we are thrilled to share the exciting news that the Suzuki GSX-8R has been crowned MCN's 2024 Sportsbike of the Year! This accolade is a testament to Suzukis commitment to engineering excellence and delivering a motorcycle that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of riders everywhere. Why the GSX-8R Stands Out The GSX-8R is not just a bike; its a revelation. It has captivated both riders and critics alike, blending sportiness with comfort, all wrapped up in a stylish, competitively priced package. As one reviewer put it, "Suzukis GSX-8R is a sublime bit of kit," and this sentiment echoes throughout the biking community. Performance That Thrills At the heart of the GSX-8R is its 776cc parallel twin engine, which has quickly become the benchmark in its class. The engines versatility is remarkable, offering "lashings of torque through the low-to-mid range," making it equally at home on both the road and track. With 85% of peak torque available from just 4000rpm, the GSX-8R delivers a thrilling ride that requires minimal gear changes, allowing for a more connected and exhilarating riding experience. But its not just about raw power. The GSX-8Rs refined power delivery ensures that whether youre navigating tight corners or powering through fast sweeps, the bike remains poised and responsive. The bike's quickshifter and autoblipper come as standard, adding to the seamless and enjoyable ride. Superior Handling and Comfort One of the standout features of the GSX-8R is its exceptional handling. The revised suspension setup has been described as a "game-changer," offering stability and confidence whether you're on a track or cruising through city streets. The Showa SFF-BP (Separate Function Fork-Big Piston) inverted front forks and the link-type rear suspension ensure that the bike responds with precision while maintaining comforttraits that are often difficult to balance in a sportsbike. As noted in MCN's review, the GSX-8R "blends a solid mixture of sportiness and comfort that so many other machines fail to achieve." This is a bike thats as comfortable on a long ride as it is agile in the corners, making it perfect for both spirited rides and everyday commuting. Design and Technology Suzuki has ensured that the GSX-8R is as visually appealing as it is functional. The bike features a sporty design with an aerodynamic fairing, LED lighting, and a color TFT display that provides all the necessary information at a glance. The ergonomic design offers a "spacious and neutral riding position," making it comfortable for riders of all shapes and sizes. Why Choose the GSX-8R? The GSX-8R is not just another sportsbike; its a testament to Suzukis ability to create a machine that excels across the board. Whether you're a seasoned rider or new to the sport, the GSX-8R is a bike that offers an incredible riding experience, blending power, comfort, and cutting-edge technology. As one review perfectly encapsulated, "As a do-it-all sportsbike, Suzukis GSX-8R is a sublime bit of kit."

"We had a rough idea of where we wanted to get to. Wed have a few drinks in the evening and discuss the next days riding. Some days if we liked our current spot wed take a day off and explore the area more" WHERE THEY WENT Bolton Manchester Liverpool Belfast Derry Westport Mizen Head Cobh Rosslare Santander Algeciras Salamanca Tanger Med Chefchouen Fes Rabat Casablanca Cacares Madrid Portsmouth LESSONS LEARNED We asked Mark if he had any advice for people thinking about making a similar trip and he had this to say: "Dont over think where to stay. Its super easy with the hotel booking sites. Make sure you choose accommodation with parking! Get a good sat nav that can filter out toll roads and motorways. Make sure you carry the necessary paperwork. Dont carry too many clothes! Dont rely solely on your bike tool kit. Dont get frustrated when you get lost. If you wake up one morning and the weather isnt good, just book another night where you are and have a beer!" THE PLACE TO BE It's so hard to pick a favourite place you've been on a trip like this... So we asked Mark to pick one! "Hard so to say but Rabat in Morocco was a very pleasant place. We had to returnthere and staya few more days on the way back too" The Africa Twin is certainly the type of bike you would need for this kind of trip and Mark decided it was time to upgrade. "I watched them in the old Paris/Dakar rally years ago. I then spent quite a bit of time riding the old XRV750 AT in Thailand in the late 90s and early 00s. Ive always loved them and this trip was a perfect reason to pick a newer incarnation up" Learn more about the Africa Twin and go on your own adventure!

Mon, 17 Jun 2024 00:00:00 BST https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/dgr-write-up-2024 The Distinguished Gentlemen's Ride this year was a spectacular turn out. We truly appreciate each and every person who came along to the ride, donated, or helped out in anyway towards the great causes supported by this event. Over 150 bikes and riders arrived to glide across Mid Kent, en-mass in all sorts of ensembles. We saw a huge amount of effort for those that turned up, and dressed dapper as a collective. Embarking on our journey through the picturesque countryside of Mid Kent, it quickly became evident that describing our procession as a mere convoy would be a gross understatement; we were, without a doubt, the focal point of many an onlooker's day, igniting curiosity and admiration wherever we passed. Gentlemen and Gentleladies united in their finest gear (some moustaches more genuine than others), we were blown aways with the huge amount of support we received to do our bit. As our convoy meandered through the scenic countryside, the sheer magnificence of the sight was enough to evoke a sense of wonder and awe. Witnessing numerous bikers and their passengers navigating the roads in unison, driven by a shared mission to raise funds and uplift spirits within the local community, was indeed a sight to behold. We were graced with an exceptionally diverse gathering of riders and their respective machines, each one a testament to the enduring allure of motorcycling across the ages. From vintage classics to modern marvels, the roads came alive with the thunderous symphony of engines, leaving a trail of joy and exhilaration in their wake. Even beneath the protective shield of open-face helmets, the contagious enthusiasm and joy were palpable, creating an atmosphere of warmth and camaraderie at each pit stop along the way. As a collective, the Mid-Kent DGR community achieved an astounding feat, rallying together to raise a staggering 13,926, a testament to the unwavering dedication and generosity of our 152 riders.

Now, 75 years after the 1949 introduction of the Hydra-Glide front end, Harley-Davidson is reviving this icon of the Panhead era in serialized limited production.

Designed to enhance your riding confidence straight from the showroom, these plans are suited for your situation. Choose between a scheduled service planor anannual service plan. Find out more below... Which plan is right for you? Both plans can be purchased with a one-off, inflation-proof payment that will see your Honda motorcycle through its first 3 services. And in line with keeping things simple, we've separated the plans into 3 simplified price bands, based on engine capacity. The prices are fixed so you know exactly how much you'll be paying, leaving you to enjoy the ride. SCHEDULED SERVICE PLAN For more frequent riders and commuters, in-line with the Honda Manufacturer's scheduledservicing. With this plan, the first service is at 600 miles. For bikes over 125cc, the next services are at8,000 and 16,000 miles. For 125cc and under, the next services are at 4,000 and 8,000 miles. ANNUAL SERVICE PLAN This plan covers the first 600 miles/3 month service and the 2 subsequent annual services. The total length of the plan is 27 months and is perfect for riders who do under 8,000 miles a year on 125cc+ bikes, or under 4,000 miles a year on 125cc bikes. What are the benefits? One Payment One upfront payment that can be added to the Honda Finance payments if preferred. No Fees No direct debit or credit card fees. Today's prices Protects against inflation with the service costs set at today's prices, therefore reducing the cost of ownership. No delay No need to delay servicing due to other financial commitments (as it's already paid for). Follows Honda Annual or Scheduled servicing The service plans follow the Honda manufacturer's Scheduled or Annual servicing, as outlined in your service handbook. Genuine parts Only Honda genuine parts are used, keeping your Honda motorcycle a Honda. Expertise Services are carried out by trained technicians using the latest Honda software, tools and equipment. Resale value If you decide to sell or upgrade your Honda, the service plan stays with your motorcycle, which may improve its resale value. Frequently asked questions (FAQs) How long will the plan last? The service plan will be live for 27 months from the date of registration of the motorcycle, or until it has had the first 3 services (including the 600-mile service), whichever comes first. When can the service plan be purchased? The service plan can be purchased up until the motorcycle is 90 days old and has less than 600 miles on the clock. Are there any additional itemsnot covered? Items on the service sheet that are replaced at a particular mileage or time interval will be covered by the service plan if they are part of the service. An example of this is brake fluid changes. Does the plan cover additional wear and tear? Wear and tear items such as brake pads and disc, chains and sprockets, etc, are not covered by the service plan and an additional cost will be incurred should they require replacement. Do the plans includevalve clearance check adjustments? The valve clearance check will be part of the service and covered by the service plan. However, additional parts, labour or maintenance required to adjust the valve clearances will incur additional costs. If I sell the motorcycle, what happens to the plan? The service plan follows the bike, which may lead to an increased resale value.

Scroll down to find out more... Ninja e-1 Z e-1 From a company with 70 years of motorcycle experience, the dawn of a new era is upon us with the brand new Ninja e-1 and Z e-1 electric motorcycles. These ground-breaking battery-powered, zero-emissions bikes sit proudly within Kawasaki's 125cc category. With a near-silent & efficient brushless motor, rated at 5kw (with a maximum of 9Kw on demand) these two electric bikes rely on an innovative twin, and removablebattery solution, with the batteries wired in parallel, unlike competitors, delivering the advantage of efficient and effective charge usage. These bikes are clutchless, therefore delivering their power via a 'twist and go' method, making them essentially automatic. They also come with two ride modes (Road & Eco), plus an exciting 'e-boost' that delivers (on demand) a maximum of 9kw of power and acceleration. Now, for something that will get everyone excited... Kawasaki has created a 'walk mode', allowing these machines to maneuver at walking pace in both forward and reverse. It is claimed that this feature will help riders position their bikes in tighter parking areas, and will help significantly with reversing up an incline. The signature livery for these electric bikes is a unique Metallic Bright Silver and Metallic Matte Lime Green. The TFT screen spares no expenses, with full smartphone connectivity, machine riding status, range, availability of boost function, and riding level selected. These bikes also come with a fantastic range of accessories available, such as +30mm Ergo-Fit seats and various charging solutions. Keep an eye out for more information about these bikes...

Read on to find out how one of the best days of Ged's life unfoldedin the words of Colin, the Director of the Chapter... "15 Chapter members rode 1,300 miles to Budapest to join in the Harley-Davidson 120th Anniversary Celebrations, which coincided with the HOG's 40th anniversary!" "As part of the celebrations, Harley-Davidson donated a 120th Anniversary Edition Heritage Softail Classic for one lucky winner." "At 8:30 pm on Saturday night, Karen and Bill Davidson started the grand draw. There was a slight catch... you had to be present in the crowd to win the bike if your number was drawn, and you also had to make it to the stage in under 1 minute to claim it!" "4 tickets were drawn without a claim. Then, draw five took place and the excitement started to increase. As the final number was revealed, Ged realised it was his and, amid the whooping and hollering, ran for the stage, making it there in an amazingly impressive 19 seconds!" "Once there, Karen and Bill Davidson presented Ged with his brand new bike!" "A great moment for Ged and a fantastic night for the Invicta HOG Chapter." Collection day... On the same day as our last Invicta HOG Chapter Breakfast Morning & Ride Out of the season, we presented Ged with his brand new bike, along with Ged's friends, family, and of course, plenty of chapter members!

He had a fantastic time at the event! He sent us some photos of his trip to share with you! Check out his photos below... A few words from Michael "I never imagined I'd see so many Harley-Davidson motorcycles and so many models in the same place at the same time! It gave me ideas about both my next bike and what I can do with my current one. The amount of love and passion that the riders have for their machines is incomprehensible. Meeting Bill Davidson was an absolute honour, and the museum was breathtaking. I think what stuck in my mind the most was the fact that from the moment I arrived to the moment I left, all you could hear was that low rumbling sound of v-twins making their way through downtown Milwaukee."

This is a fantastic read for those of you who are considering purchasing a Suzuki V-Strom... because this is definitely what they were made for... 5 DAYS | 884 MILES Where did Steve go? Abergavenny A quaint market town, considered the 'Gateway to Wales'. Dan-yr-Ogof The National Showcaves Centre of Wales. A 17-km-long cave system. Lower Town Harbour For fans of rugged coastal scenery and coastal walks. Lake Bala Beautiful location and great for water sports enthusiasts. Betws-y-Coed A lovely little village to wander round and grab a coffee. New Quay These golden sands could seriously rival any beach. Hereford The scenery on the roads here did not disappoint. Snowdonia Home to the highest mountain in Wales, with amazing roads & scenery. "The V-Strom really shows that its made for these trips in the twists and turns of the roads. The comfort and the handling really stand out." "Journeys full of country lanes rather than the motorway make me a very happy chappy!" Steve's Verdict "The V-Strom never missed a beat throughout the entire journey. It handled so well in the wet and definitely gave me confidence, but most importantly, for an older man, it was so comfortable. I can enjoy this bike and big adventures now just as much as I could have done in my younger days. The fuel consumption was amazing too!

By the time you've got to the bottom of her journal about her journey, Elvis will have left the building, because this was Mel's last grand journey with him. Riding there with her partner Kevin, they used a combination of prior knowledge, MyRouteApp, and Booking.com to navigate their way. Scroll down to enjoy a great read about Mel's road trip and her time at the festival... "After arriving in France and getting my bike off the Eurotunnel, we stayed overnight in Coquelles. We set off around 9am, and when I opted to stop in Arras for coffee, I forgot about the cobblestonesnot a lot of fun on a 391kg Harley! We decided to take a non-motorway route to absorb some of the scenery, but after 30 mins of nearly melting in our gear, we happily jumped back on the peage just for the breeze. That night, we stayed in a very lovely guest house in the sleepy town of Poissons, where we were most grateful for the aircon." "Let me just sum this up... Riding in Italy - Scary, a bit of a nightmare, but very beautiful. The views of the Dolomites always take my breath away. I think we traversed 4 or 5 mountain passes today. I am very much looking forward to getting into the jazuzzi at our hotel tonight!" "Slovenia is absolutely beautiful, especially the area surrounding Lake Bled! Everyone speaks English, its cheap, and I dont know why Ive never come here before. Ironically, after several days in Italy, we seemed to have waited until now before we had pizza. Thankfully, it didnt disappoint. If you enjoy nature, then Bled is a dream come true! It was definitely needed before the 5-hour non-motorway ride to Budapest where it felt like we were riding on the surface of the sun." "On the first day of the rally, we mostly wandered around the trade stalls and the custom bike show, seeking out any shade we could. We also took a beautiful boat tour. It was strange to be off the bike for so long! The architecture in this city is breathtaking, and we still managed to enjoy it in the 37c heat. After all of that sun came the rain... So, what do a bunch of bikers do when they cant stand outside and watch a band? They cram inside a tent and rock out to a DJ instead." "No offense to the Hungarians but the riding here is rather uninspiring, and I couldn't wait to get to the border and arrive in Austria. The landscape in Austria was much greener and the landscape more manicured. The Czech Republic made the roads and our bikes pretty wet, but the road spray washed the dead bugs off my riding jeans. The Bohemian Forest, known as Sumava or Bhmerwald depending upon if you are in Czech or Germany, is a lovely low mountain range between the Czech Republic and Bavaria, Germany. Its heavily forested and the roads are scenic without being overly challenging. We were too busy to take any photos of our journey on the road, but we did visit a castle and pop into a lovely small Harley dealership in the Czech Republic." "We checked out of our hotel in Cesky Krumlov and plotted a route to Thunderbike in Germany. The idea was to ride as far as we could until we were too tired to carry on, and then find a hotel.After 4hrs of riding at speeds of 30-60mph through the forests of Czech Bohemia, we reached Germany, where we hit the Autobahn and hit the gas! In 2hrs on the Autobahn we covered nearly as many miles as 4hrs of Czech non-motorway riding. We chatted with some guys from the Geordie Chapter before entering what can only be described as the amazing Thunderbike H-D dealership and custom bike shop. After a few hours of drooling and shopping, we pointed towards Calais. Unfortunately we didnt get far before the inevitable Umleitung (German for diversion) meant we didnt cover as much ground as we wanted. Just outside Venlo, Netherlands, the heavens opened and we opted for the first hotel we stumbled across. From there, our trip home was uneventful, and we knew we were back in good old Blighty when it started raining and we were shivering for the first time in ages." Mel's advice... "The best bit of advice that I can give to those wanting to take on a road trip like this would be to do less to do more (IE, dont try to cram so much into a day that you cant enjoy it!) and research in advance. Using street view on MyRouteApp or Google Maps is a great way to see the parking and entry to/from hotels. This is really helpful if you dont like hoiking a 391kg bike over gravel!"

Steve has ridden a Kawasaki before, but he is more at home on an adventure bike. Scroll down to read what he thought of this naked 900cc machine... WHAT 3 WORDS WOULD YOU USE TO DESCRIBE THE BIKE BEFORE YOU RODE IT? "Stunning, colourful, and stylish. I really like the green." WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE ENGINE, POWER, AND TORQUE? "The engine is solid, smooth, and has loads of power." HOW WAS THE HANDLING, BRAKES & RIDING POSITION? "The handling was spot on, just as I knew it would be. The brakes were really smooth and I felt confident that they would do their thing when I really needed them to. I usually ride Adventure bikes, so the position was very different and took a little while to get used to." WHAT MODIFICATIONS WOULD YOU MAKE TO THIS BIKE? "To be honest... none! It is a really lovely bike that just rides and handles so well already." WHAT 3 WORDS WOULD YOU USE TO DESCRIBE THE BIKE AFTER YOU RODE IT? "Comfortable, light, and quick." THE VERDICT... "At 63 years young, this bike would be a real pleasure to ride at the weekend, but for me, it wouldn't be an everyday bike. The riding position, however, is great for weekend fun! This bike is a real head-turner with a really modern look. It's also fantastic value for a 900 as well!" Make your own verdict... Test ride our demo bike! Tue, 04 Jul 2023 00:00:00 BST https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/new-triumph-400cc-motorcycles New 400cc Motorcycles Triumph's New A2 Friendly Bikes Introducing the new Scrambler 400 X and the Speed 400!

The new 398cc Speed 400 blends modern Triumph technology with modern classic Triumph looks.

We've put together some suggestions for great places to ride your motorcycle in the South East! Scroll down to see these destinations and find out why you should ride there... Boxhill has been a popular haunt for bikers for years. Not only is Boxhill like an evergreen haven not too far from London, but the 4-mile-long Zig Zag road is something you have to experience. As one of the summits of the North Downs, if you're also a fan of walking in nature, the sights from the viewpoints are breathtaking. There are also some great places to eat... Rykas (RH5 6BY) or Smith & Western (KT20 7LB). If you have been riding in Kent, you're probably familiar with "Mickey's", formerly known as Bangers. The Detling Diner roadside cafe on Detling Hillserves cooked breakfasts and drawsin plenty of other local bikers! Hang out with like-minded people, make new biker mates and head out for the day. (ME14 3HT) The Route 1066 Caf is another great biker cafe that has been around for a long time. Out the front, there is plenty of parking, and inside there is plenty to choose from on the menu. Sitting at the side of the A21, stop off for a bite to eat and head on to Hastings for the day. (TN32 5JH) Our Kent Motorcycles showroom in Canterbury is home to the superb H's Caf. Here we offer a fantastic selection of food including all-day breakfasts, our much-loved bacon rolls, lunchtime specials, and a great range of hot and cold drinks. We also offer vegetarian options and our high-quality products are all sourced locally. There are also some fantastic roads around that way! (CT4 6SA) Goudhurst is a quaint village in Tunbridge Wells with some lovely local pubs. The roads around there can get a little tight at certain points, but ride safe and appreciate the twisties and the scenery. Driving past Bedgebury Forest, it'd be easy to forget you were still in the UK. Why not take a bimble to the coastal town of Rye for a coffee? The Quay is pretty popular! (TN31 7DA) Not only is Canterbury a great place to visit, but the Canterbury Road (A252) offers a great journey full of straights and twisties through Charing. Over in Charing, there's also a bike night at the Red Lion, every Thursday 6pm - 9pm. (TN27 0AU) If you're the type of biker who likes to stop off in a quaint little town and grab a coffee to then head off onto some great roads, then Tenterden is right up your street. Head into the town on the A28, and chuck a left at the last turn, joining the B2082. Watch our for horses! The Brunch & Brewis highly recommended... (TN30 6HP) Join the A20 towards Ashford for some really good grub at the Airport Caf (TN25 6DA). Don't be fooled when you arrive, it is not just a truck stop, it's a great quirky place to fuel up before heading to the coast. Follow the B2068 which will take you through Canterbury, and then welcome you to Whitstable. Wherever you ride this summer... Ride safe!

He thinks it looks a lot more aggressive and suits the attitude of the bike more. THE DASH James picked the TFT dash for a couple of reasons.

Their heritage and history has not, and will not, be forgotten, but carried through as part of the crucial DNA of these bikes. These new bikes will be icons within the hearts and minds of enthusiasts around the world. Words from Jochen Zeitz, Chairman, President and CEO "With the introduction of the all-new CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide, we've completely reimagined two of Harley-Davidson's most iconic motorcycles and redefined the boundaries of CVO in the process," "By rethinking these two models from the ground up, we are ushering in a new era of innovation, design, engineering, and technology, while expanding the definition of Harley-Davidson CVO and taking the Grand American Touring experience to another level. The new CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide break the mold and reset the bar for the pinnacle Harley-Davidson riding experience." "These all-new and unquestionably Harley-Davidson designs bring a cohesive and dynamic flow from the front fenders to the saddlebags," said Brad Richards, Harley-Davidson Vice President of Design and Creative Director, commenting on the design of the new motorcycles. "Achieving a greater degree of visual change than any generation prior, the design of these CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide models are revolutionary takes on the historical art of evolution. Like all Harley-Davidson motorcycles, these new models are meant to instill a sense of timeless desire." Get in touch Secure your new CVO... Call us on 01622 711680 when we're open,or email us HERE.

Wed, 31 May 2023 00:00:00 BST https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/the-big-four-making-hydrogen-happen Hydrogen engines Coming soon? Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki and Suzuki form an association to research hydrogen engines. Approval has been granted to form a research body called HySE for the development of 'Hydrogen Small Mobility Engines' in order to contribute to a decarbonised society. The big four put their heads together Four of the biggest motorcycle manufacturers in the world have come together to research the potential for alternative fuel solutions for motorcycles. Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki, and Suzuki have announced that they have received approval from the Ministry of Economy, Tradeand Industry to form a technological research association called HySE (Hydrogen Small Mobility & Engine Technology) for developing hydrogen-powered engines for small mobility. A cleaner future These mighty four are working towards a decarbonised society, researching how alternative energy can be used to power their motorcycles. Rather than focusing on a single energy source, their research and development will be targeted more toward commercialisation of mobility with engines powered by hydrogen. A wealth of knowledge Hydrogen has been deemed the next-generation energy source, and its popularity is gaining momentum. The big four plan to commit to researching how their wealth of expertise and technologies in developing gasoline-powered engines can persuade establishing a design standard for small mobility hydrogen-powered engines. What will each brand bring to the table? Honda will research the model-based development of hydrogen-powered engines. Suzuki will study the functionality, performance, and reliability of the hydrogen-powered engines. Yamaha will study the requirements for a hydrogen refueling system and hydrogen tanks for small mobility. Kawasaki will study the auxiliary equipment required for a fuel supply system and tanks, as well as the equipment installed between the fuel tank and the injector. It won't be easy Hydrogen possesses its own set of challenges. It requires a fast flame speed and a large region of ignition, which can cause unstable combustion and much more limited fuel tank capacity, which will not work for everyone. Riders who chase the sunset are not going to want to compromise on the range of their machines... So how will hydrogen ever work? We are extremely pleased to announce the planned formation of the association. There are many challenges in the development of hydrogen-powered engines, but we hope to see the associations activities advance the fundamental research in order to meet those challenges. We are committed to this endeavor with a sense of mission to preserve the use of internal combustion engines, which epitomize the long-time efforts that our predecessors have invested. -Kenji Komatsu, Chairman of HySE and Executive Officer of Technical Research & Development Center, Yamaha. We're excited to see what this means for the future of hydrogen!

Scroll down to see what he chose and why! The brakes Firstly, Andy picked the upgraded brakes for their seriously good stopping power! On the front, the brakes are dual semi-floating 300 mm Brembo discs, with a dual radial-mounted caliper, Brembo M4.32 monobloc opposed 4-piston. At the rear, a single 250 mm petal disc sits with a single-piston caliper. The suspension Andy's second choice was the hlins rear suspension with it's improved adjustability and premium customisation options. The 2023 model has a horizontal back-link hlins S46 gas-charged shock with rebound damping and spring preload adjustability. The screen And last, but by no means least, Andy's 3rd feature is the TFT colour screen because he thinks the accessibility of the menu is very underrated. The new all-digital TFT colour instrumentation gives the cockpit a high-tech, high-grade appearance. The new meter also offers additional features unavailable on the previous model.

Scroll down to see what he chose and why! THE TANK Kane really likes the new Carnival Red and Jet Black tank colour because it's so striking, bold and rich. The Scrambler 1200 XC is also available in Sapphire Black and Matt Khaki Green. THE SHOCKS For his second feature, Kane chose the twin hlins shocks at the rear because they look and perform great! These are hlins fully adjustable piggy-back RSUs with twin springs. THE ENGINE Lastly, Kane chose the badge on the high-power tune-in engine that's got way more horsepower and speed than the previous model, and has been updated for Euro 5 compliance.

Check out more from photographer, Matthew Doyle... Instagram:@matthewdoylephotography Website:matthewdoylephoto.com Adam's Motorcycle Journey... When did you begin riding? "I started riding at the age of 16. I scraped a few pounds together to buy a crashed and damaged AR50, which I bought for 50. I spent some time getting it back on the road and upgraded it to an 83cc with a Big Bore kit and a 6-speed gearbox!I then moved on to an imported FZR 400, after buying it as a box of bits. I reassembled it once I'd passed my restricted licence test at the age of 19. But unfortunately, I had quite a big accident -Imounteda pavement and crashed into a tree. It smashed my helmet open and shook my confidence, so I decided to quit biking. However a few years later, a friend wanted to get into biking.I advised him against it, but he decided to pursue it anyway -so I offered to help find him find a bike and get him set up with all the protective gear. Our bike hunt led us around the country and we eventually found him a GP100. He asked if I would test drive it to see if it was ok, so I took it down the road -with the thought of my last bike outing at the front of my mind. To my surprise, I came back from the test ride and said: Well thats it then, I need to get back on a bike! There really is no feeling like riding a motorbike.The bike needed a little work, which I agreed to help with, and another friend, Stuart, let us use his garage to fix up the little GP100. It was at this point my biking journey really began again. Stuart had crashed his Suzuki Bandit 1200 in the past, which I then decided to turn into a Streetfighter. From tinkering with this little GP100 came a new love of biking for me. I went from the Streetfighter Bandit to an SV, to my first Triumph; A Sprint ST. I then bought a huge adventure bike, which was a bit too big for me and what I needed. However sadly, in May of 2021, our house floodedand there was a shortfall between the insurance and what was needed to finish putting the house back together, so I had to sell the bike to raise the money to fix the house. During this time I inherited other bikes that came to me in pieces, whichI managed to get up and running during the months at home at the peak of the pandemic. So once the house was finished, I decided it was time to start looking at bikes again...!" Why did you choose the Rocket 3 GT? "As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to have one. I didn't know whether to buy the GT or the R, so with some help from Laguna Sales Advisor, Marc Suckling, I discovered the difference between the two models to distinguish between what I needed and what I didn't. I decided to order the Rocket 3 GT with black wheels, removed the backrest, and I also added some extra bits and pieces. I absolutely love it! I've made myself a GT that looks mostly like an R, but with comfort of a GT. I have all the parts to have an R one year and a GT the next!" How would you summarise this bike in three words? "Incredible, just incredible!" Do you have any road trips planned on your new Rocket? "None yet, but it won't be long!" Safe and happy riding, Adam!

Scroll down for a selection of great videos, blogs and Q&As from the likes of Visordown, MCN and 44 Teeth... IT'S ALL ABOUT THE VLOGS "On God's greatest racing circuit, this is still the benchmark in the performance middleweight naked category." - Visordown "Wow... This is pretty special!" - 44 Teeth 5 STARS FOR THIS ROADSTER MCN give the 2023 Street Triple 765 an overall rating of 5 stars! Talking about the R model, Michael Neeves (MCN's Chief Road Tester) said: It offers all the thrills of the racier RS at road speeds but for a useful 1,700 less. Its just as grunty,dramaticand exciting. It dances through corners with the same poise and easy precision. Read more about his thoughts & read more reviews from others below... TRIUMPH IN THE HOTSEAT Here are a few questions the Triumph team were asked to answer about the new 2023Street Triple765 line-up... IS THIS THE ENGINE USED IN THE MOTO2 PROGRAM? "Yes, the Street Triples 765 engine is the same platform currently powering the Moto2 Championship!" WHAT IS FUEL CONSUMPTION LIKE? "The new Streets both have a fuel consumption of 52.5 mpg (EURO 5)." DOES THE RS HAVE CRUISE CONTROL? "Cruise control can now be fitted to the RS as an accessory for the first time!" WHAT DOES THE BIKE WEIGH? "Fuelled up and ready to ride, the wet weight of the R is 189kg and the RS 188kg. WHAT WOULD THE DIFFERENCES BE IF I TRADED IN MY 2019 R FOR THE 2023 R? "The new 2023 Street Triple R comes with more power, more torque, higher specification technology, a more aggressive stance and style and changes to the geometry that all add up to a better ride and even bigger smile!"

Wed, 22 Mar 2023 00:00:00 GMT https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/2023-triumph-street-triple-765-rs-review The 2023 Triumph Street Triple 765 RS RIDE REVIEW Our Motorcycle Sales Advisor, Marc, wanted to see what all the hype was about surrounding the new 2023 Street Triple 765 RS. He's a Triumph fan through and through, and has owned plenty of Triumph motorcycles in the past, including a Sprint 1050, a Bonneville T120, anolder Street Triple 765, and he currently swaps between his Scrambler 1200xc and Speed Triple 1050 RS. Scroll down to read more about Marc's thoughts... WHAT 3 WORDS WOULD YOU USE TO DESCRIBE THE BIKE BEFORE YOU RODE IT? "Stylish, desirable, and menacing." WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE ENGINE, POWER AND TORQUE? "There's an extremely smooth delivery of power throughout the entire rev range. Even at slow speed, the bike is smooth, making filtering an absolute breeze!" HOW WAS THE HANDLING, BRAKES & RIDING POSITION? "The brakes are sharp without being aggressive. The low weight of the bike means it handles really well, especially when riding in and out of corners. The steering is so precise: It cuts those corners like a scalpel! The riding position is comfortable, and my weight wasn't on the wrists, so long journeys wouldnt be a problem." WHAT MODIFICATIONS WOULD YOU MAKE TO THIS BIKE? "I would definitely get some heated grips put on there, as well as an Evo-Tech tail tidy, a tank pad to protect that beautiful paintwork, a fly-screen visor, and bobbins for use with a paddock stand." WHAT 3 WORDS WOULD YOU USE TO DESCRIBE THE BIKE AFTER YOU RODE IT? "Stylish, agile, and responsive." MARC'S VERDICT... "The new 765 delivers a confidence-inspiring ride. It can be sedate and smooth around town, but then super responsive and easy to manage at speed around the twisties. The exhaust tone seems a bit lower and richer than the 2022 model."

Thu, 09 Mar 2023 00:00:00 GMT https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/category-collectionstouring Category Collections TOURING We asked our Assistant Sales Manager, Tony, to choose his top 6 touring bikes that are currently in stock here at Laguna Motorcycles. If you're looking for a bike you can ride for hours, days, or even weeks, then this is where you will find it!Most of these bikes also have fantastic luggage options and additional equipment or accessories available. Scroll down to find your ultimate touring machine... Kawasaki Ninja 1000 SX Known as a 'Sports Tourer', this bike has a really fun and sporty side when ridden solo, but the comfortable riding position is also absolutely perfect for long-distance rides with a pillion. This bike is great for a quick blast, but you could equally spend hours on the road with the Kawasaki Ninja 1000 SX. It instills confidence in riders with little to much experience, and the power-to-weight ratio is fantastic. The dash is clear, the tank is aerodynamically shaped to stop your legs from feeling the chill so much from that motorway wind, and it comes with cruise control as standard. Don't let your wrists be fooled by this bike's sporty looks - The seating position is much more accommodating than you would expect from a Ninja! Triumph Tiger Sport 660 This bike's riding position is very well-suited for those longer rides, but unlike the other bikes featured here, it is much lighter and has less engine capacity, though that certainly doesn't mean it's less capable! This bike is well-balanced and has a surprisingly low seat height. The Tiger Sport 660 has great sports touring potential in a mid-weight adventure bike package and comes with lots of options for luggage and accessories. This bike was also crowned MCN's 'Overall Bike of the Year' for 2022, and it's not hard to see why. Book a test ride today and discover this bike's full potential. KTM 1290 Super Duke GT This bike is great fun and will certainly add some thrill to your journeys, however long or short. This bike is a great all-rounder for someone looking for a bike that's sporty, bright, and full of character. Excellent power, excellent torque, long service intervals, and a clear display screen.These are the features that stand out the most. The brakes are superb and do their job, and really do stop the bike when you need them to. At speed, this bike does feel a bit naughty, but it still gives you confidence. This is a bike you can trust to get you from A to B with an added sense of fun. Suzuki GSX-S1000GT This bike has a really comfortable riding position, and you could honestly ride this bike all day long! It gives you plenty of power when you need it too. This bike has been very popular since it arrived at Laguna Motorcycles in the summer of 2022, and once you take it out for a test ride, you'll see why too... it just does everything. The wide bars are perfect for long-distance touring and put less strain on the wrists, and the cruise control means you can definitely be on the road for hours. Thanks to the high torque and power output, there's no need to keep shifting gears to get going. This bike is stylish, easy to handle, and is very user-friendly. Kawasaki Versys 1000 This adventure bike from Kawasaki has an upright seating position, giving you a much more comfortable ride if you prefer to have your back straight. It also gives you a great advantage when looking over other road traffic, allowing you to have a much clearer view of the road ahead. The seat is very wide and very comfortable for both rider and pillion. This bike comes with mobile phone connectivity which is great for accessibility. The Kawasaki Versys 1000 has a lot going on and is excellent value for money as it comes with some great equipment as standard. Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Pro This beast has lovely wide handlebars, giving you a real presence on the road and encouraging you to sit upright, finding that more comfortable and advantageous riding position. Riding this bike is effortless, especially with the rider safety technology that comes as standard. There are some great add-ons available for all of the Tiger 1200 bikes, but the GT Pro is definitely the member of the family that wants to, and can, go the full distance. Need more information?

If you're wondering how you can keep your motorcycle safer in your garage, on your driveway, or wherever you choose to park it up, then this is the article for you! Scroll down for more information... Make it more bother than it's worth Getdecent locks Heavy-duty chains and industrial padlocks around both wheels will add a layer of security, but take it up a notch by locking your bike to something that is solid with the ground.Alarmed disc locks can act as a great deterrent. Trackers and immobilisers Immobilisers let you switch the power off when your bike is being moved without your permission. Tracking devices can pinpoint your bike to the nearest 5 meters and can link to your phone to notify you of any movement, no matter how small. Install CCTV CCTV will not only record the crime, should it happen, but the presence of a camera can also put thieves off. What we recommend We sell plenty of great security systems in-store and online. What you secure your bike with will depend on where it's kept.

As part of our "Get to know the Honda team" series, today we speak with Steve, our Maidstone Honda Dealership Manager. With years of motorcycle experience under his belt, Steve knows his way around a Honda - new or old! See what he had to say, find out how he got into motorcycling, and what he has his eyes on in 2023! Scroll down for more information... Do you have your eye on anything special in 2023? "I've actually just ordered a CL500 in black! This bike looks amazing and I cannot wait to give it a try. It's lightweight, nimble and stylish. I'll definitely be styling it with a bit of 1970s classic scrambler tweaks - probably starting with a high dual under seat exhaust and some other little bits and bobs. Can't wait!" What got you into riding? "My older brother and dad got me into riding - my brother was always into British bikes, mainly the Bonneville T120, Norton Commando and BSA Bantam D1. I've now been riding, gosh... since I was 6 years old - so that's 49 years, and boy has time flown! I actually still have the bike I owned when I was 7 years old, and it definitely reminds me of my life on two wheels. One thing I really love about motorcycles is the way you get access to amazing technology on bikes that you get for way less than half the price you would with a car. Bundles cheaper! My dad used to ride a Lambretta Scooter, and I and the rest of my family used to bundle into the sidecar! I wish I had a photo of that." What is your best riding memory? "My best riding memory has to be the first test ride I ever had. It was aboard a GPZ900R! I won't give specifics as to how fast I was going, but let's just say, I would have been stopped if they could catch me! Maxing it out, back in the day when the enforcement was almost absent from the roads and streets. Another great memory was taking the bike to Wales for a look over the seashore. I'd just get dressed and go - it was easy! That was when I was living in Northampton." What's your favourite place to ride? "My favourite places to ride would have to beFrance, Brittany and Normandy because the roads are truly fantastic. The people are so considerate and there's tons of history, like the beaches with a fantastic museum to explore. It features an 1890s photography shop that shows all the old photos - truly spectacular. If you're ever in the area, be sure to check it out. Another amazing place to ride would be the western French coast of La Rochelle, you can ride from there down to Spain through the national park. Breathtaking." What's your advice for new riders? "My advice for newer riders would have to be get training! Don't jump onto something you haven't got experience on before. Ride it in a car park first. Get used to moving it around etc. When you make it onto the road, always keep in mind and ASSUME that people do not see you. If you do that, you should stay clear of danger." "Additionally, when it comes your time to buy a motorcycle, make sure you factor in the gear and security you will need too. Don't cheap out! It's always best to buy the biggest lock you can afford - this way you'll keep your pride and joy and not be left crying when it disappears." "Oh! And finally, don't listen to old farts like me... get out there and do it yourself!" Trust Steve to help you find your next Honda motorcycle... Stop by today and check out the bikes in our showroom.

This livery makes this bike look mean, and we think it looks like a guaranteed winner. The 2023 Honda UK Racing livery... Honda Racing UK are ready to take on the 2023 Bennetts British Superbike Championship and the International Road Racing season this year, where they will participate in both the North West 200 and the Isle of Man TT races.The team is hoping to build on their success in 2022. The Fireblade achieved multiple wins at the NW200, the fastest newcomer award at the TT, plus regular podiums and wins in BSB, and is well on its way to second in the championship standings. Did you know that Honda are the most successful manufacturer to have raced at the TT? Fresh-face and rising star, Nathan Harrison, and road racing royalty, John McGuinness MBE, will ride in separate classes for the Isle of Man TT this year. Don't miss a single race Wed, 22 Feb 2023 00:00:00 GMT https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/category-collectionsscooters What are the best scooters? In-stock scooters at Laguna Motorcycles Maidstone Scooters make for a convenient and stylish mode of transport. The ease of the automatic gearbox means you can just get on and go at a twist of the throttle, and some riders find the upright seating position much more comfortable than, for example,that of a sports bike.

The 2023 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4R Supersport A mid-weight, higher-performance four-cylinder Kawasaki Ninja is on the way in the form of the Ninja ZX-4R, as well as the ZX-4R SE and the ZX-4 RR variants. Expect more hype and excitement drummed up for this bike later in the autumn of this year. But for now, we've got some of the details that we're sure you're chomping at the bit to know... If you'dlike to knowspecifications, you'll find them at the bottom! It means business The most powerful of the family will be equipped with a high-output engine deliveringan insane 80 PS in a lightweight chassis, for superior cornering performanceand a weightless feeling with acceleration. This bike is premium, aggressive and refined. Kawasaki are calling it an "apex predator" and an absolute must to experience whether you're a seasoned rider or a biker new to the joys of supersport and smaller race-style bikes. Whichever category you fall into... you're in for a real treat. It's got serious power What makes this bike really go and gives it its power is a newly developed 399cc liquid-cooled, parallel 4-cylinder DOHC engine, based on that of the ZX series. This gives a maximum output of 57 kW (77 PS) and 59 kW (80 PS), thanks mostly to Kawasakis world-famous Ram Air system, located in the centre of the upper cowl, providing styling that is instantly recognisable as part of the Ninja ZX series. It's full of tech Keep an eye on how the bike is performing via the 4.3-inch full-digital colour high visibility LCD screen.

Words from the Team Director, Yohei Kato: "I am very delighted to say that Yoshimura SERT Motul will participate in the FIM Endurance World Championship in 2023. The statement from Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC) ending its factory participation in MotoGP and EWC at the end of 2022 was of course very difficult to digest. However, we accepted the situation and set our mind on putting in place new plans for the EWC 2023 season." What's next for the Yoshimura Suzuki Endurance Racing Team? Damien Saulnier, Team Manager, said: "It is with great pleasure that, together with Yohei, we can confirm that the Yoshimura SERT Motul partnership is renewed for 2023. We will be running our Suzuki GSX-R1000R in red and blue livery to symbolise our association with both Yoshimura and Suzuki for the third year. Well also run with the traditional number 12 plate when we return to the track next April. Despite the withdrawal of Suzuki from the official competition, we are still getting significant support from them as we continue to represent the brand in this important world championship. We will do our best to reward such confidence and return the Japanese manufacturer to the top step of the EWC podium in 2023." The first race of the EWC season will be the 24 Heures Motos at Le Mans from 13-16 April. Thinking of hitting the track this year yourself?

In some ways, leading motorcycle innovation yet againfollowing the success of the H2 family. They're aiming to bring alternative-poweredbikes to the market withall-new models. Thisis certain to sparkinterest and they have already announced the launchfor 2024. Scroll down for more information... The Z EV Electric Vehicle The Kawasaki Z EV is the Kawasaki electric motorcycle closest to production specification. This bike will allow riders on an A1 licence to enjoy it's thrilling ride, but that will mean that it's performance will not be quite the same as the Ninja, but we'll get to that. It will have the performance of a 125cc bike, and we know it will house an 11 kW (14.8 bhp) motor that is energized by a 3.0 kWh battery. The NinjaEV Electric Vehicle Instantly, we can see this is based heavily on the bodywork and styling of the Kawasaki Ninja 400. This bike will share components with the Z EV, and will also comply with an A1 licence, however, it is rumored to provide more power and better suit those who want more than just a fun trip to work. Kawasaki are setting the Ninja EV up as the beginner electric sports bike, but performance specifications remain a secret. The Hydrogen Machine Kawasaki unveiled plans for a future Hydrogen model, and have given as a glimpse into what this might look like. Some say it looks like a thing of the past with class-style fairing, but others know Kawasaki have put their best heads together to make this bike a thing of the future, with revolutionary technology and eye-catching styling based on the Ninja H2s design. This is the bike that might see Kawasaki's first Hydrogen engine. Minimal emissions, a water-vapor output and maximum performance could be coming to Kawasaki fans... we just don't know when. The HEV Hybrid Electric Vehicle The company took the wraps off the hybrid prototype a little while ago, after dropping so many hints and getting everyone excited. However details of the Kawasaki Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) are top-secret for now. But...it is anticipated to be part of the 2024 line-up! How does the hybrid engine work? Thehybrid engine will be directed bythe rider's riding style and location and surroundings. When the rider is on the motorway, the engine power is activated. Meanwhile, when the rider is traveling through the city or any other urban area, only electric power will be generated. For those twists and turns out in the countryside, the model will use the best of both worlds with integrated hybrid drive technology. Keep up with this exciting journey...

This ride is based on the values of off-road riding, where navigation is key and great motorcycle control is compulsory. All terrains and routes require the strongest of souls and an unmistakable amount of bravery. The raid has recently been completed by none other than Vanessa Ruck, aka Girl on a Bike (@thegirlonabike) on a Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro.Showing off her skills as a rider and how well the bike can perform in heats of immense pressure. Scroll down for more information... THE CHALLENGE THE RIDER Vanessa Ruck (The Girl on a Bike) Born and raised in England, Vanessa is a go-getter with all sorts of dreams she wants to accomplish. After a car hit her on her bicycle in 2014 she was hospitalised and in need of some serious medical attention. Over the course of 13 months, 7 operations, full shoulder reconstruction, 6 hip surgeries and countless steroid injections she was undergoing training to progressively work back to where she was before. Six years on, she's back on the bike but this time with a motor too! Now an advocate for motorcycling, she rides all sorts of bikes. A testament to the strength of a determined woman, Vanessa is a role model for millions worldwide. THE BIKE Tiger 900 Rally Pro The perfect bike selected for this journey was the Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro. A bike built for the occasion, Triumph has dedicated time, resources and effort to make this the ideal bike for off-road adventure. Packed with a class-leading specification the bike was designed to withstand the toughest of riding conditions off-road or on the tarmac. Powered by the powerful 900cc triple engine and equipped with state-of-the-art technology, the bike exceeds expectations in all areas. Not only does the bike come good to go as standard but there is a fantastic range of accessories and parts available within the Triumph genuine product catalogue and third-party alternatives too. THE COURSE During this maximum intensity week, you'll make a start from Granada (Spain) and make your way across the Mediterranean Sea via ferry from Motril to Nador. After that, you'll ride through the land of the Berbers within the picturesque Atlas Mountains where you might even encounter snowfalls and flurries - perhaps even the first of the season. Once you've worked your way through the blizzard you're descending down the mountain southbound into the desert terrain of Morocco to arrive at the peaks of the great dunes of Erg Chebbi. On the way back, you venture into more unexplored lands of the Morocco desert and into Merzouga, then Nador. It is here that your endurance and riding skill will be tested most. KEY POINTS Stamina Training your physical and mental stamina can be one of the most important things. This is by no means going to be an easy breeze ride through the hills - you'll need to be ready for anything you encounter from punctures to dehydration. Be prepared for everything the environment and the human body can throw at you, it'll be sure to swing your way. Navigation In order to complete the race within the parameters of the competition you'll need to follow a precise route through the raid. This means planning your route through the areas where cars & trucks will not be passing you. You're on your own! There are numerous challenges available varying in the difficulty of terrain and navigation. Bravery Whether you're riding as part of a group or in a duo, bravery is crucial. If you haven't worked out already, anything can happen - if your partner's clutch burns out, you are left to ride the remainder of the day alone. That means riding over countless mirror-like sand dunes until you get to your destination if you've mapped your journey correctly. Know your gear It is naturally a good idea to know your motorcycle and riding gear before setting off however when you're in the Dunas 1000 it is beyond crucial to know exactly what you've got with you. You need to be prepared for motorcycle faults, natural hazards, dehydration, fatigue and everything else. Confident riding Whether you're riding a small CRF300L or in this case a Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro, you need to be fully confident behind the cockpit. Theres no learning to ride off-road, you need to be fully confident in various riding situations whatever they may be. SEE THIS TIGER POUNCE MORE ABOUT THIS BIKE The Tiger 900 Rally Pro An exceptional piece of machinery The Tiger 900 Rally Pro is equipped with everything you could possibly need for an off-road adventure. With an extensive backlog of accessories and add-ons, you'll be ready for whatever life throws at you. Are you ready to earn your Tiger stripes? Sun, 15 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/making-dreams-a-realitycustom-africa-twin An Africa Twin to remember We love taking on new custom projects here at Maidstone Honda. Motorcycle modifications, big or small, give us the opportunity to show off our custom skills and for some of our customers, make a motorcycle more practical. Speaking of more practical, we've recently taken on a project for Paul, who is an amputee - meaning he was in need of an entire brake relocation and ABS refittingon his new Africa Twin. Scroll down to find out what was involved... And if you have any custom requirements of your own, big or small - simply give us a call on 01622 713950. What was needed? Our customer, Paul, was in need of the rear brake pedal being relocated to theleft-hand-side brake lever. The model we were working with was an Africa Twin Dual Clutch Transmission, so removing a clutch lever wasn't necessary, however we would need to install the correct cables and parking brake. The process Firstly, we stripped back the fairing to make room for the necessary modifications. We then removed the rear brake pedal and swapped it out for a left-hand lever,which also meant removing the existing brake lines and installing new cables - which we mapped through the fairing. Modifying a clutch unit, we transformed it into a new braking unit to sit above the left lever. After these changes were made, we then added an X-ADV's parking brake from another DCT model, to ensure easier usability of the bike. What else did we add? - Crash bars - - Spotlights - - Extra indicator and brake lights - - A higher windscreen - - Denali accessories and lights - - Hand guards - - Headlight protection - - Maximum comfort saddle - A huge congratulations! Paul has in fact only recently passed his motorcycle tests! So we want towishPaulhuge congratulations from everyone here at Maidstone Honda, andwe wish you many happy rides aboard your brand new and super awesome custom Africa Twin. Paul would like to give a huge shoutout and say thanks to the NABD, The National Association forBikers with a Disability, who helped to make this project possible. Talk to us!

Tue, 10 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/dual-clutch-transmission-made-easy Is DCT better than a manual motorcycle? Today we look into Honda's awesome Dual Clutch Transmission engine which allows you to ride a bike as an automatic. It's achieved some truly spectacular results and continues to surprise riders worldwide every day - but how does it work? Let's explore how the engine works and why we think you should give it a go! So... Why is DCT so good? DCT is especially handy for times when you're stop-starting repeatedly or having to ride slowly and keeping your revs to a minimum - because the bike is stall-proof. This allows you to crack on with easeand reach your destination faster. It's also useful if you're going off-road, often as you will be able to maintain a comfortable riding speed continuously. It provides instant control with no hassle. People are rating DCT better than manual as you get the best of both worlds, automatic shifting in addition to a manual on-the-button option. Scroll down for more information... How does it work? Representing a new generation of transmission, DCT provides optimum shift control without the need for manual shifting. In a manual transmission, a disconnection from the engine's rotary is necessary in order to work through the gears - which creates a pause in the acceleration of your bike. Witha Dual Clutch Transmission, there are two clutches that engage and disengage alternatively without any interruption or disconnection - which leads to seamless gear shifting that doesn't interrupt the driving force. Comparing this to a manual transmission, there are numerous drops in transmission which resultin a more jumpy riding experience and slug-likeacceleration. Dual Clutch Transmission allows the rider to accelerate directly and smoothly - between the same amount of gears, one clutch controlling the odd gears(1,3,5) and the other clutch controlling the even gears(2,4,6). What are the benefits? There are many benefits to riding a DCT Honda... Nimble shifting Sporty shifting Better fuel efficiency Automatic comfort Less riding fatigue Impossible to stall What bikes use DCT? Some of the most iconic bikes come ready and waiting with DCT for you to try...

We asked Brayden, our Content Lead at Laguna towhip together his custom ideas for this bike. He chose to get more of an off-road look happening. Heswapped out the tyres for a set ofContinental Twinduro TKC80s,then keeping that scrambler-infused styling going, he added a headlight grill too. To neaten up the modela bit, he decided to install a tail tidy and black flat quilted seat. As a final touch, Brayden decided to swap out the conventional mirrors for some bar-end mirrors. "Created as the entry-level model in Triumphs new-generation Bonneville family of liquid-cooled parallel twins and it does that job very well. The softly-tuned900cc Twin is not particularly fast or exciting, but its very torquey, agile and easy to ride." Autoexpress "A marvellous package, offering Triumphs beautiful retro styling, combined with all the modern tech you could ever wish for." Goodwood "A great retro-looking roadster with a sensible price tag that youll love. It has an all-new liquid-cooled 900cc motor, which makes it fun to ride whatever your ability.

Next up in our Maidstone Honda"Get to know the Team" series isDavid, our very experienced Aftersales Advisor. Scroll downto find out more about David and how he got into riding! What motorcycle do you currently ride? "I currently ride a very awesome CBR600RR and I love it!" What made you purchase the bike and what do you think of it? "I absolutely love this bike, from the way it rides to its aggressive sporty performance. It's more of a toy than anything else and to be honest, I wouldn't use it as a commuter - however boy you can play with it! I have toured on the bike and also done track days andit handles quite well. Theunknown versatility of it is brilliant and it brings me back to the days of my youth every time I ride it. What a bike! I had a GSX600 before this and compared to that, this bike is a lot more modern and more reliable. It handles and performs differently - it's got a more confidenceinspiring feel in the corners which you can really rock on A & B roads and overtaking is cinch. What's not to like... it turns heads even after all this time andlooks younger than it truly is." What modifications have you made to the bike? "I added a Two Brothers exhaust system which I personallythink givesit bundles more character -you can hear every note from the engine. The bike overall is pretty standard other than that.I did add a tail tidy and indicators just to give it a bit more of a neat look. Other than those upgrades I've also got a RAM mount which comes in handy every time I ride." What got you into riding motorcycles? "My friend passed his motorcycle test and went out to buy a Yamaha R6. After that I got jealous and never looked back - I went out and got my licence and swiftly jumped onto sports bikes - but like I mentioned before, they were always a toy to play with, never my only means of transport - just a bit of fun. However my touring ambitions were always high and it wasn't long 'till I went to Wales for a road trip." What's your favourite place to ride? "My favourite place to ride is the roads around Snowdonia and the Brecon Beacons as they're just breathtaking from all angles. I did a road trip over at Snowdonia not long ago and it is,as always, one of the best rides I ever goon. Although I must admit, due to the length of the trip my bum did go quite numb..." What advice do you have for newer riders? "Before you set off into riding, make sure you understand the costs of it all put together. I think people still look at motorcycles as cheaper but in the grand scheme of things, they probably work out around the same as cars - especially if you purchase all the right gear. I would say though, it's crucial to buy the appropriate ride wear, I hate seeing people riding in t-shirts and no gloves etc. Enjoy yourself but ride sensibly!"

Mutt Motorcycles caughtup with Gavin Watson, an international and iconic photographer, about his unique work and awesome personality. For Gavin, when he looks through the lens, he is aiming to capture authenticity, passion and no cares in a world attitude - you do you! Watson's work resonates with Mutt Motorcycles because they too make motorcycles that look a bit different and don't conform to the natural trends of sports bikes or scooters. Scroll down for more information... "I was so shocked when I saw the Sabbath existed. I couldn't believe that they're making something so wicked!" Working with the best names of his time Watson was no stranger to working on some of the most alternative projects available. These projects include anything from his books "Skins & Punks" and "Raving '89", to album artwork covers for Plan B and Jake Bugg. Gavin also worked with well-known brands like Dr Martens, Vice, Sounds and Dazed. Watson was born edgy and decided not to conform to the mainstream style through the 70s and 80s - instead, he branched away! What does Gavin think about Mutt? Watson says he would own a Sabbath 100%, even as a middle-aged man popping around in his leathers. It fits the style he has always loved and naturally holds a rebellious streak he can whip around London. Gavin mentions that when he was at school, it was a mustto own a motorcycle, but what you'd get is the majority of people buying Honda mopeds, which in his eyes wasn't a true motorcycle - he refers to a song from Peter and the Test Tube Babies' called Moped Lad. Bike of choice? Fat Sabbath 125cc Fat is where it's at. This muscly looking scramble fest will get your heart beating like the drum to an Ozzy Osbourne song. Don't be mainstream, branch out from the norm and get a Mutt - you won't regret it...

We've featured the main steps in they took one of our recent collaborations to create our custom Sportster S, Twenty-4. 1. Let's get masking The bike went into IDC with stock paintwork from the factory. So the first step was to sand back the bike and prime it with a high build primer.Once cured this was sanded back again to get an even smoother finish, ready for its first coat of base colours and design. With colour on the way, the bike was masked using ultra-fine masking tape for optimum crisp edging. 2. Addthe first coat It was time for the very first coat of paint to be applied over the masked design. After this coat of paint was added, they removed the initial masked areas andthenworked further detail into the initially-covered sections. We had a Harley logo we wanted to integrate into the design of this bike, so this was then airbrushed onafter the main custom paintdesign was completed. 3. Clean and smooth At this stage the panels were ready for theirfirst hit of clearcoat lacquer.This is used not only as a protectant but also as a way to enhance the colours on the panels.Once applied, the lacquer was then in need of baking off and curing in the spray booth. After the spray, the entire project wentoff foranother sand down to ensure there were no paint edges or bumpy sections. 4. Shinyand ready Once the edges were all as smooth as they could possibly be, the team madefinal touch-upsto achieve a premium end result. The motorcycle then hadanother 3 or 4 lacquer layers - again cured in the spray booth. After the lacquer operation was finished, the bike was finally polished, cleaned and wrapped for delivery back to us.

Mon, 19 Dec 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/suzuki-say-goodbye-to-motogp The final flag for Suzuki at the MotoGP With the last race of the 2022 MotoGP World Championships now coming to an end, Suzuki waved goodbye to the MotoGP. A huge part of their history, the brand built and raised its Suzuki GSX-RR amongst the other MotoGP championship rides of our time. The bike was phenomenal by all means and continued to progress in performance over the years but now the motorcycle manufacturer is coming away from the track. Scroll down for more information... The final race The final race of the 2022 MotoGP World Championship season has ended, leaving Suzuki saying goodbye to not only the season but the championship as well. Finishing in style, Alex Rins led from the start to finish in Valencia GP, taking a rightfully earnt victory. Joan Mir displayed another spectacular performance and took a solid sixth place. The team as a whole over the years has achieved a huge amount of records, wins and championship points. The story of their racing career has been quite the adventure starting a decade ago with the very first prototype in 2012. Although not confirmed it is speculated that Suzuki is focusing their efforts on developing a motorcycle for the MotoE Championship but that's yet to be confirmed by official sources. Well, I managed to achieve exactly what I wanted: another win with my team. This one, being at home and being our last together, tastes extra special and its very emotional. Over the years Suzuki and I have celebrated some really beautiful victories, but also shared many beautiful moments as a family. Ill miss everybody so much, and Ill carry the lessons with me for the rest of my career. Im happy to take a pretty solid finish in my final race with Suzuki, especially after a tough few weeks. Winning a title with this team is something Ill keep in my heart forever, weve worked relentlessly during all our years together, but in 2020 everything just came together for us and it was simply fantastic. Thank you to the whole team for their help. Today Alex did a very impressive job, getting the holeshot and leading the whole race, thank you to him for this final victory, and also to Joan for a nice 6th place. Finally, thank you also to all the staff for their work during all the years. We have been a very good group of people, and we always tried hard to get the best results. Victory today in Valencia! What a great reward for the team. Im very proud of the staff, the riders, and the engineers in Japan not only for today but for the whole season. We had a fighting spirit until the end, and we leave with a World Title and many victories and podiums. What more could we ask for? The only thing better would have been a double podium. But Alex showed, once again, how competitive he and our bike are. And Joan did a great job. My time with Suzuki has been short but very sweet. Working with an iconic brand, with superb people, and a great bike has been a big pleasure for me, and I think we can bow out with our heads high.

Tue, 13 Dec 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/what-bikes-have-you-ownedmarc What's your motorcycle journey? How many motorcycles have you owned? Every motorcyclist has their own uniquestory about themotorcycles they've ownedover the years. Some havehad loads of motorcycles, somefew, but everyone's story is different. Some riders prefer to keep their rides and build a collection and some sell - and it's pretty safe to say there willalways be that one motorcycle you wish you'd never sold. So this series is dedicated to exploring our staff's motorcycle journeys, finding out what they've riddenin the past and what they ride today. Marc, one of our Sales Advisors here at Laguna Motorcycles in Maidstone has owned a total of 14 motorcycles on his journey with a 15th on its way. Let's take a look at his list! Have you owned any of these rides? Which ones were your favourites?... The Motorcycles From Marc's very first ride to his current model... Bike #1 MZ125 Bike #2 Kawasaki ER5 Bike #3 Kawasaki ZR750S Bike #4 Honda VFR750 Bike #5 Kawasaki ZZR600 Bike #6 Kawasaki ER6F Bike #7 Triumph Sprint ST 1050 Bike #8 Honda VFR Bike #9 Honda Deauville (Blue) Bike #10 Honda Deauville (Black) Bike #11 Honda Deauville (Black) Bike #12 Triumph Bonneville T120 (Ace Cafe Edition) Bike #13 Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC Bike #14 Triumph Street Triple RS 765 What models stood out for you? "The two bikes I really got a sense of fulfilment out of were the Honda VFR750 and the TriumphAce Cafe T120. The Honda was bulletproof by nature.It'san awesome commuter bike. This really was the bike that wasgreat for all seasons, plus due to the amount of bodywork and fairing, you feel protected from the wind, etc. The Ace Cafe T120 was brilliant. It was a bike I bought when I finished commuting andcould simply purchase a motorcycle I just really liked the look of! I opted for an iconic Bonneville. The engine was phenomenal and the torque was next to genius - it always sounded amazing and the only thing you're perhaps missing is some electronic rider aids, but that's kind of the point of modern classic motorcycles." Which was your favourite bike and why? "I would say the two Triumph Motorcycles that I currently own are my all-time favourite motorcycles. The Scrambler 1200 XC offers a fantastic engine that I've continued to enjoy since I owned the bike. It makes me feel like Steve McQueen when I ride it.(Maybe I should be in the movies too!) It sounds great and always reminds me of the motorcycle my father used to ride. In additionto the Scrambler, I would have to pick the Street Triple RS. What a bike... it's unbelievable.I don't have a bad thing to say about the model. It has a weird ability to make you feel like a better rider and of course it sounds immaculate straight from the factory." What's next? With the release of the Triumph Chrome Collection, Marc knew he had to have one - so quickly made his order. The model Marc had his eyes on was the absolutely stunning Thruxton RS.

Sat, 03 Dec 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/laguna-staff-attend-motorcycle-live-2022 Motorcycle Live 2022 was great! Staff from ourLaguna Motorcycles storein Maidstone journeyed up to Birmingham for the annual NEC Motorcycle Live exhibition. This exhibition features the latest innovations from the most significant motorcycle manufacturers across the globe, including the brands we offer,like Ducati, Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, KTM, Triumph and Kawasaki. Scroll down to see how the team found the day and what was on show! What was on show? Triumph showcased some of their latest and greatest models this year including the brand-new Chrome Collection, Street Triple 765 family and a special talk from @thegirlonabike (Vanessa Ruck) who recently completed the '1000 Dunas' on a Tiger 900 Rally Pro. The stand looked spectacular, especially withthe raised platform showing off the Thruxton RS Chrome Collection edition, which was sparkling hard. Suzuki brought in the big guns for this year's Motorcycle Live. The stand showcased all the new additions such as the GSX-8S, V-Strom 800DE, Address and Avenis. In addition to some very much adored heritage models and off-road selections too. If you haven't tried out the V-Strom 800DE yet, make sure you do...our team agreed it couldn't have a more comfortable riding position- it's excellent! The Ducati stand brought some truly exceptional Italian engineering and mechanical beauty to this year's Motorcycle Live exhibition. Featuring an immaculate centrepiece for the almost instantly sold-out Lamborghini Streetfighter. Other 2023 World Premierfirst looks were the Diavel V4 with its rocket launcher exhaust system, the new Scramblerrange full of colour and the Multistrada V4 Rally. In addition to a stunning display of bikes, Ducati also showcased some stylish new garments for Ducatista to try on! KTM brought us their finest collection of 1290 beasts, 890 scalpels and small-capacity warriors for us to enjoy. The stand hadexpert staffon handready to answer any questions we had and a special showcase film - Michael Rutter's TT lap on the 1290 Super Duke R Evo. Additionally, KTM were giving out a FREE KTM fan packs for the first ten lucky riders to show them their KTM key! This Japanese motorcycle brand really knows how to do a motorcycle show, offering more than one variation of each model including the latest range. We got to see the Hornet CB750 (in all of its colour options), the all-new Transalp and the all-new CL500. More than bikes, Hondaalso featured a sign to meet and greet the Honda Racing team too. The stand was running a competition all weekend which was a nice touch too, where you could be in with a chance to win a Honda Off-Road Experience Day. Our staff were eager to try the off-road experience with Reece, (Parts Advisor), riding the Honda Africa Twin and Brayden, (Content Lead), riding the Yamaha Tnr 700. The course featured some multi-terrain obstacles, a selection of motorcycles and some great advice from experts on the sidelines. Some of the models available on this off-road experience included the Triumph Street Scrambler, Ducati DesertX, Tiger 1200 Rally Pro, Honda CRF300L and Yamaha Tnr 700 World Raid Edition. It seemed only fitting to stop off at the MCN-rated Number 1 Biker Cafe in the UK seeing as we were passing by!Super Sausage offers a spectacular roadside menu, including the 'Super Dog' which the guys annihilated in less than thirty minutes flat!Be sure to give these guys a visit if you're in the area! A note from Brayden: "The Super Dog is without a doubt the best hotdog I've ever had. It came out of the kitchen the size of my head, and it could very possibly go down as the single best eating experience of my life. Thanks guys!" Were you at Motorcycle Live this year?

Wed, 30 Nov 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/get-to-know-the-teamluke Say 'hey' to Luke at Maidstone Honda... As part of our Maidstone Honda "Get To Know TheTeam" series, we're speaking to our newest addition to the team, Sales Advisor, Luke.Luke joined us a few months back and has been riding for a few years now on a varity of bikes and brands, including Honda, Triumph and Yamaha. Find out what he rides now and why!... What motorcycle do you currently ride? "I currently ride a 2020 Honda Africa Twin CRF1100 Manual in Gran Prix Red." Do you like the bike and what made you purchase it? "I absolutely love the bike. From the first time I rode the bike I was certain that one day I'd like to own one. The engine sounds are phenomenal and the way the power is delivered is fantastic - not to mention the seamless connectivity to my iPhone with Apple Carplay. The seating position is extremely comfortable and is confidence-inspiring when filtering as you're so high up. I commute every day into work and riding a motorbike is my only mode of transport. I purchased my Honda Africa Twin after owning a Triumph Street Triple RS, asI needed something that could do everything and to me, there isn't a better bike which ticks all the boxes quite like an Africa Twin. It's the type of bike you could take touring, commute on, and still have a hell of a good time in your free days off - throwing it around the twisty A and B roads." What modifications have you made to this bike? "I've made quite a few modifications to this bike -it's quite custom-friendly and holds quite a large accessory catalogue. I have a full Akrapovic exhaust system installed which enhances the sound of the engine tenfold, andit's awesome to rev in all gears - let's put it this way... you'll definitely hear me coming!I also have numerous genuine Honda accessories like a centre stand, heated grips, knuckle guards, screen, top box, tank bag, quick shifter and tank pads to name just a few. In addition to these Honda accessories I've got a charging lead connector attached to the battery so I can charge the bike when I'm not using it too." What got you into riding motorcycles? "I originally fell in love with motorcycles when Iwas younger... watching Valentino Rossi race in MotoGP for Honda around 2002. From that point onwardsI was always interested in motor racing and motorbikes. It wasn't until 2017 when I finallywent for my CBT - the first time riding any motorbike and I instantly knew it was for me. Over the last five years of ridingI've owned 8 motorcycles, and I can happily say I don't regret any of my decisions to become part of the biking community. It's awesome..." Whereis your favourite place to ride? "My favourite place to ride would have to be the south coast from new Romney down to Hastings along the A259. This route has some of the best roads in the country with some really nice twisty trails, and it ends at a gorgeous beach where you have the option to stop off at the Route 66 Caffor a bite to eat. Can't think of a better day out to be honest. You should try it!" What's your advice for newer riders? "My advice to newer riders is to never worry about what you're riding or what the destination is, just enjoy the journey - the rest will follow. Never let others who are on bigger more powerful bikes make you feel intimidated, you can have just as much fun if not more on some of the smaller capacity bikes. Ride what you feel comfortable with. Being on 2 wheels in any form is a pleasure in itself and you're part of a wonderful biking community."

Mon, 21 Nov 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/review-of-the-2022-street-triple-rs The Street Triple RS A brilliant example of the perfect all-rounder. TheStreet Triple RS has always been an icon within the Triumph street range. We wanted to take a more in-depth look at this bike for our customers,so we handed this 2022 model overto Brayden, our Content Lead here at Laguna Motorcycles. Have you tried this model before? What did you think? If not, book your demo today on 01622 681765 Scroll down to see Brayden's review... Thoughts on the bike... WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE ENGINE, POWER AND TORQUE? "This model's engine will continue to surprise you...for a 765cc motorcycle it's insanity. Not only does it sound absolutely phenomenal, but each gear has an optimum length and the foot controls are almost padded to the touch. If you take the bike in first gear up to 40mph, the sound it outputs may quite possibly blow your mind - what a symphony! With this bike, there is plenty of passing power no matter what speed you are cruising. Motorways are no problem and there's a huge abundance of torque ready to get you out of trouble. If there's one thing for sure, you will have fun riding the Street Triple." HOW WERE THE HANDLING, BRAKES & RIDING POSITION? "The handling on this bike is great. It will turn where you want it to turn and the turning circle on it is surprisingly good for a naked motorcycle. This is great because no one likes doing a two-hundred-thousand-point turn when they go the wrong way. Even at high speeds, this model seems to impress my handling desires which is great, as some bikes tend to lose that character after 50mph. Braking capabilities are what you'd expect from Brembos -stop where you want to stop, no questions asked. Plus there's a soft pull on the lever for ultimate stopping force - what more can you want when you've got it in Sport mode? The suspension is okay -a little bit stiff in places, however there are adjusters so you can tailor the bike to your needs. I wish I knew this before my test ride as I took it out as standard and felt every pothole through my spine. I would assume with the softening of the mono-shock and forks, it would be silky smooth. The riding position on the RS was comfortable and reasonable for a naked but aggressive motorcycle. No discomfort came from riding the bike for a day, however I'd urge you to try this bike for yourself to see how you get on with theslight lean to the handlebars." TECHNOLOGY - WAS IT USEFUL? "Technology on this little nipper is pretty awesome and there is everything you would expect on a modern-day motorcycle, andmore. The TFT display is beautifully crisp and shows you anything you could ever imagine clearly and precisely. There's a handy 8-point fuel gauge and mile range indicator which comes in handy for those day-to-day journeys. The RS has great ride modes for youto explore which definitely comein handy when it's raining, sunny or anything in between. The selection buttons on the bars are noticeably easy to push and navigate which I found great. The less you need to focus on them when playing around with your settings, the better." WHAT MODIFICATIONS WOULD YOU MAKE TO THIS BIKE? "I think if I was to modify this bike, I would potentially replace the bar end mirrors for something a little more functional. There were times I was filtering where I would have quite liked to have folded the mirrors in for peace of mind when passing cars - the stock bar end mirrors didn't seem to have this function. A tail tidy would definitely add the final touch to the styling aboard the Street Triple. The long tail it comes with from the factory is a bit out of place in my opinion." The Verdict.... "Overall it's a reasonably good-looking motorcycle if you're into the bug-eye headlights. For some this could be the deal breaker, however I would suggest you at least test-ride this beauty as it has an awful lot to offer. From the immense prestige handling to the comfortable breaking power and taking off propulsion. The Street Triple RS is a brilliant example of the perfect all-rounder. There's a huge database of accessories and aftermarket parts for the bike so you can easily make it your own -costing you little or lots. The sound of this bike's symphony needs more credit - I'll put it this way, if I could wake up to the sound of the engine roar, I would! As you go up the rev range through the gears, the bike has the ability to egg you on to go further and keep opening that throttle. It's easy to say, but this bike is an all-rounder as it doesn't really slack in any areas. There wasn't even one time I got off the motorcycle wanting more from it. If you haven't already tried the Street Triple RS, you need to give it a go - book your demo today and thank me later." Triumph Street Triple RS (MY22) The Street Triple RS offers premium street performance, modern-day styling and an abundance of adrenaline for anyone who rides it. See what this icon can do...

We love Harley Vivid Black bikes, but with a real outcry for colour, we want to shake things up and showcase what's possible on a Harley canvas. What better way to do this than to deep dive into a culture we love... street culture. Street culture offers vibrancy, diversity and individuality, inspired by style trends, popular culture and more! With our goal to bring colour to our Maidstone Harley-Davidson offering, we will explore and take inspiration from the many corners of street culture to bring you our one-of-a-kind "Street Culture Custom Collection". Scroll down for more information as we begin this exciting project... Street Culture Inspirations... Vibrancy To be vibrant is to be full of energy and life. Whether that's through colour, soul or personality - everything you do is a statement of who you are. Brave to be different and step out of your comfort zone. This is where colour comes in. Almost everyone has a favourite colour and what's great is that everyones is different. Graffiti Inside or outside urban city lifestyles, graffiti is no stranger to the empty space on a wall, a bus stop or a billboard. There's beauty within graffiti. It'san expression of feeling that is shared through colour, shapes and lines. Graffiti doesn't necessarily need to include words or illustrations, butbright colours arealways there. Street Wear Wearing something you feel great in is just the first step to representing who you are through fashion. The more brave souls of our civilisation don't dress to impress, they wear what they want to... just because. It's within clothing choices that we see vibrant popping flavours with a vast arrayof different colour and tones. Street Sports Sport brings communities together in more ways than one. Individuals from all areas of society come together to play with or against each other for no other reason than fun. Sports naturally adopts colour without us realising, through the jerseys we wear for our team to the colour of the pitch or court we're standing on. Music Although our main sense for music is our hearing, music has a way of relating to more senses than one - through every note we can imagine a colour, and from each colour we can create art - purely within our head. Music often becomes a gateway for colour to emerge, from album artwork to music videos, to tour posters on the wall. Film & TV Something you get tons of within films and TVis the freedom to create a new world. We see colour bringing shows to life, with viewers beingcompletelyimmersed in colours. Just think ofAvatar, Stranger Things and Back to the Future! Colourwas a significant step forwards from black and white! People In more ways than one, people are what make this world so colourful. From the core personalities to the flavours of the week and trends our society live through. From the colour-driven era of the 70s/80s to the grunge feels of the 90s. Colour has always been there - it has always and will always be our closest friend. So what's first? Our first step into the world of colour andstreet culturehas been inspired by fashion, (trainers) and street sports (basketball). Through this, and with the help ofImage Design Custom, we've created two motorcycles that we are immensely proud of and are pleased to present as the first one-of-a-kind models available for purchase from our very ownStreet Culture Custom Collection....

Check it out and see where Brayden feels it fits into today's motorcycle market. If you'd like to try this bike, call us to book your demo ride today at01622 681765. Scroll down to see his review... Thoughts on the bike... How were the engine, power and torque? "I quite liked the 950, it offered playful power which you can really spring around town or enjoy on an urban ride. It boasts a much lower gear grunt, with gears one through to three offering a substantial length and characterful exhaust tone. You get tons of torque to play with which is great for street riding and it's definitely not a stranger to takingoff first from every set of traffic lights. As you'd expect from a newer motorcycle, the gear shifts were as smooth as marble and the clutch light on the touch - perfect if you're commuting or using the bike for regular travel. I personally couldn't fault the GSX-S' engine as it does exactly what I'd expect from a high quality Suzuki bike. It's a bike that's available on the A2 market as it can be restricted; however, it gives the rider an instant power upgrade when they derestrict it. If you hold a restricted licence, the GSX-S950 truly takes home the bacon as it's fun to ride and gives off 'big bike' vibes." How are the brakes, handling and riding position? "Perfect for the average street rider, the brakes offer a grippy yet progressive response that will be sure to keep you out of trouble. If you are a boisterous bad-boy rider, perhaps a change of pads is necessary as the brakes are a little insensitive on the first bite - but for the average street rider, you won't run into any problems. Handling the 950 can be a bit challenging. It's definitely not a motorcycle ready for you to put your knee down, but it offers good agility for everyday urban riding. The riding position on the other hand cannot be faulted.I was in the saddle for a couple of hours and didn't get uncomfortable for even a moment. There's an easy reach to the handlebars, the controls are accessible without the need to move your hand around and the knee bend angle is more than acceptable." Technology - Was it useful? "The bike comes with a keen package of technology including a Selectable Traction Control System, Ride-By-Wire throttle, Easy Start System and informative LCD display. I quite liked how crisp the LCD display was -there wereno unnecessary graphics or information I wouldn't use on a day-to-day ride - it was precise and crisp. The bike comes with LED headlights and tail light which give great visibility in both day and night conditions, and they're styled a little like what I'd imagine a spaceship's headlights to be like. Funky! Another point to add is that it comes with a handy average fuel consumption meter and tank range indicator -for any daily commuter like myself this can be really helpful." What modifications would you make to this bike? "Like I mentioned before, I would probably want to upgrade the brakes on this motorcycle. The bike has substantial power but limited braking capability at higher stopping speeds. This is mainly dependent on what style of riding you do though. You may find there is more than enough power behind the lever pull. This bike sounds great straight out of the factory so an upgrade to the exhaust system wouldn't be necessary, however I would be intrigued to hear the beast roar at full potential - perhaps with a RaceFit end can! I think if you were using this bike for long commutes on the motorway, a screen may be a wise investment too. There's not much in the way of wind resistance on this stock motorcycle and although it offers a comfortable riding position, it could become tiring after an hour with high winds." The verdict... "I'd say that overall this bike is a good bet for the restricted rider - it offers everything you could want from a larger motorcycle with accessibility on an A2 licence. The bike sounds absolutely great straight from the factory and offers a beast-like roar in gears one through to six, with a street-like grunt to give you joy at every traffic light. The bike offers substantial handling, braking and comfort whilst boasting a premium feel, and features like the informative display, gun metal forks and styling are taken directly from its larger capacity brother, the GSX-S1000. It's an exciting bike to ride and you'll definitely have some fun on it wherever you are!" Test ride this bike...

The bike battled through multiple difficult cross-country terrains - testing its capabilities to the absolute maximum. This bike was huge compared to other bikes in the event and it was immensely challenging for the riders as they embarked on their 24 hours of continuous riding. Scroll down to read more... A LOT OF PEOPLE TOLD US WE WERE CRAZY, NOT EXPECTING US TO FINISH A SINGLE LAP LET ALONE FOUR LAPS TO FINISH THE RACE" -Cameron Donald Champions return Expert adventure bike rider and two-time Isle of Man TT champion,Cameron Donald, sat in the saddle for the event. The bike was a massive contrast to the other lightweight enduro bikes over the weekend and proved its worth in more ways than one. "Physically, that was one of the toughest things Ive ever done on a motorcycle, Donald said. To ride out there in that terrain on these bikes over four six-hour laps for 24 hours was such a battle. It was brutal." A lot of people told us we were crazy, not expecting us to finish a single lap let alone four laps to finish the race. Worse yet, an experienced competitor whos finished the race 24 times said this years course was by far technically most difficult." "I was constantly amazed by how well the new Tiger 1200 got through the terrain. There was nothing it couldnt do." The History This event has been running since 1924 and is Australia's oldest motorcycle race. It comprises of four six-hour laps with each lap consisting of 12 consecutive trail sections. Three evenly spread-out fuel top-up points are allowed with essential motorcycle maintenance and rider sustenance. Assistance outside these parameters is not permitted. Of the 138 competitors in this year's championship, only 91 finished and 40 were disqualified.

The NT1100 burst onto the Honda touring scene last year and has been turning heads ever since. Featuring tons of riding aids, premium engine specification and riding ergonomics - it's received alotof positive feedback from every customer who's takena demo ride on it. This bike is built to take you further than ever before with maximum comfort and thrilling performance. Wehanded our NT1100 demo bikeover to Luke, (our Motorcycle Advisor),for his in-depth and expert opinion on the model. Scroll down to check out Luke's review... Luke's review... What did you think of the engine, power and torque? "This bike is extremely powerful and definitelyfeels as though it pushing out more torque than listed on the spec sheet. There's a strange amount of power behind the bike which will be sure to take you by surprise, as you look down at the TFT and don't realise you're doing that speed. It's very smooth! The bike is definitely capable of plodding along in third or fourth gearwithout any trouble. You get a good speed range within those gears and can stretch the gears where necessary. The exhaust note from this sporty tourer is quite nice, it pops every so often... who doesn't like a popping exhaust?! There's a nice raspy energy coming from the exhaust with a throaty bellow too, definitely good if you like a great-sounding machine." How were the handling, brakes and riding position? "The riding position is really upright and comfortable. There would be no problem in taking this bike out on the road for hours on end - you wouldn't get achy or uncomfortable. There's also quite a controlling position on the bike -you can see everything you need to see, which is nice for a bike this size. I suppose thisrelates more to the engine question, but the engine is so smooth -you don't get knocked back on the saddle. Plus there's reasonable lumbar support, so you never feel at reach to the bars. Breaking on the NT1100 was progressive, sharp and easy. The lever was sharp to the pull and not tiring, which would be brilliant for those long journeys or road trips. Although this is a reasonably large bike, the model is relatively easy to throw around - you can be calm and collected that the bike's got your back in the corners. The suspension was also good on the NT, they soak up the potholes we see everywhere on UK roads and as they're adjustable, you can tailor to your own preference." Is there technology and was it useful? "There was for sure lots of technology. The Apple car play works really seamlessly with your iPhone. You can see all the turn-by-turn maps, take calls and listen tomusic all whilst being on the go - and you have an easy controller set-up on the bars. The quick shifter was adjustable which was awesome. You can modify how easy and how much feedback you get which is cool. Other features I used were the USB socket for my iPhone and heated grips. The grips provided me with more than enough comfort for these chillierOctober days.The NT1100 also comes with a 12v plug socket which is almost essential for your long journeys. Say you're on a road trip and you get a flat...plugging a pump into that socket will get you to the repair shop easily. Saves you waiting twelve hundred hours for the RAC!" What modifications would you make to the NT1100? "I would probably invest in the voyage pack as it's a steal for what you get. Within the pack, you get a comfy seat, inner bags, a top box and fog lights - all perfect for those longer tours across the country or internationally. If you are thinking about getting one of these models I would suggest getting a quick-shifter, as it will give you more ability to play with the power which liesbeneath." The verdict... "Overall I really enjoyed the bike. It definitely surprised me with the amount of torque on hand and it was more nimble and agile than I first suspected. I would actually go as far as to say this is in my top five bikes to ride overall - and that's not just because of its sharp lines and bold aesthetics. In my opinion, there's nothing quite like it on the market today and it's a pure out-and-out tourer. I would say more colour options would be nice from Honda as the three they have are all pretty similar in my eyes - perhaps a nice blue like the new CB300R? Or thesand colour we saw on the XADV."

Kawasaki has always strived for motorcycle innovationfocusing on critical areas like riding performance and engine durability. One of their key recent steps is introducing the supercharged engine whichwe see within the entire H2 range - capable of impressive performance andblood pumping power. We're deep-diving into the machine and its performance to review some of the remarkable engineering brilliance Kawasaki has achieved. Scroll down for more on the H2... "Everything in this project was difficult. Not any single part, but everything." - Satoaki Ichi (H2 & H2R Project Leader) Discover a new feeling of speed The H2 range NINJA H2 SX Currently available in our New Bike Sale!* NINJA H2R ZH2 Concept The main aims of this engine were to give a true sense of acceleration and provide a wow factor that offers a fun-to-ride experience. Although the concept was simple, keeping in-line with environmental performance requirements meant conflicts in aspired designs. This meant the Kawasaki development team now needed to adapt and overcome. Adopting compressor technology for superchargers, Kawasaki was in development to create its own compressor to achieve new heights of motorcycle technology. Development Turbochargers are commonly found within passenger cars, however because of the way these engines work it becomes difficult to achieve zero turbo lag. This means it is difficult to achieve the characteristics we would normally find and want from amotorcycle. Electric superchargers are available but require a large battery -too large in fact to be mounted in such a small space on the model. So for multiple reasons, a mechanically driven linear supercharger was selected and installed. The Kawasaki centrifugal supercharger is designed to be driven by the crankshaft,which is compact and lightweight, but has a high rotation rate - meaning it can quickly follow changes in the engine speed. Due to the complexity of the design of this engine, Kawasaki started to not only develop, but also manufacture their superchargers themselves -puttingthe quality control over machining, assembly, adjustment and performance into their own hands. Refinement After producing the H2 revolutionary supercharged engine, the next step was to create a balanced version of the engine. Instead of focusing only on speed and power, Kawasaki decided to focus on fuel economy and torque within the low rev range. To do this, significant development within the compression ratio was neededfrom 8:5 to a more sustainable 11:2 balance. Extending from the compression ratio, Kawasaki needed to optimize the attack angle of the impeller blade to ensure a cooler running temperature was executed. We see this balanced engine within the Z H2 - a model specifically built for road use and everyday travel. If you'd like further information aboutany of the models, contact us...

Packed with 140 Nm of torque and 132kW of power, you'll be either laughing or crying when you climb off these two wheels. The motorcycle comes with Brembo's finest Stylema monobloc four-piston calipers at the front and again, Brembo with a twin-piston caliper at the rear. Suspension is covered by WP with their awesome APEX springs, giving you ultimate riding comfort. On top of monster-like aggression in styling, the bike has bundles of technical assistance such as anti-wheelie, ABS, MTC, ride modes, MSR and TPMS.

Ducati Panigale V4 R This motorcycle is Ducati performance in God mode - taking everything you thought about speed and reinventing it ten-fold. With a full racing exhaust installed, this missile on two wheels packs in a top-end 174kW of power and 118Nm of torque. If the speed doesn't do it for you, this model is packed with technology like riding modes, power modes, cornering ABS EVO, DTC, DWC, DSC, EBC and auto tyre calibration. On top of the excessive ridingtechnology, the braking capability is the best in the business with the Brembo Stylemas on the front and twin-piston on the rear. Suspension is what you'd expect from a sports motorcycle -this area is covered by hlins with fully adjustable forks and a single-sided swingarm. Ride like a king, the Panigale V4 R will show you the way. Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX Leading the way in supercharged motorcycle innovation, the Ninja H2 SX provides you with the most advanced sports touring capabilities ever. The engine boasts a top power of 147kW and a scarily fierce 137Nm of torque across a smooth six gears. The rider will benefit from Uni-Track rear suspension and incredible Showa fork performance. The stopping force behind this weapon of a sports tourer is handled by Brembo's finest Stylema monoblocs, and you'll get the latest in Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock braking systems. On top of speed, handling and braking the bike is made for comfort and longer duration journeys- meaning you get a 6.5" TFT colour instrumentation device with smartphone connectivity.

Making minor tweaks to your motorcycle here and there over time can keep you feeling more in controlwhilst creating something more exciting! We wanted to enhance one of our new bike offerings in the showroom here at Maidstone Harley-Davidson, so we asked our Jack, (Motorcycle Technician), to add a little bit of custom magic to one of our brand-new Street Bob models. Keeping everything small-scalewith no extremechangesor excessive work hours - it's surprising and impressive to see what differences can be made. Scroll down to followwhat Jack did... The journey begins... Pick your ride... Jack begins by selectingone of ournew Harley-Davidson 2022 Street Bob models out of the showroom. He then takes the fresh mile shredder to our workshop and puts it on his workbench. Side note - can you spot the lego Jack? Forward controls This customisationjourney begins with the foot controls. Jack first removes the stock controls and adds an extended shifter linkage rod, allowingthe foot controls to work as they usually would - but locating them at a distance further from the initially mounted position. Once the foot controls have been moved, Jack covers the primary hole with the cover plug for a more finished look. Filtering in the new The next step of the process is the Airfilter. Jack removes the stock Airfilter and then replaces it with a Screamin Eagle High-Flo K&N Element replacement for maximum performance at all speeds. There are tons of Airfilters on the market for you to choose from in all shapes and sizes. Replacing your stock air filter with something more custom can change the engine aesthetic andin some cases, add performance. Authentic Harley rumble After the Airfilter was changed it was time to add a more authentic Harley rumble to the Bob! Jack first removed the O2 sensors, pillion pegs and mounting brackets - then took the stock exhausts off. He then replaced the stock pipes with Bassini Pro Street pipesand reattached the mounting brackets, pillion pegs and O2 sensors... good as new! Chubby handlebars incoming The final step in this custom journey is the handlebar modification. Jack swaps over the stock bars to a set of Chubby Bar Handlebars. Due to the length of the stock Street Bob's handlebars, the brake lines and clutch cables need to be changedtoo - this will stop the lengthycables flapping about unnecessarily. Finishing touches to this project For the finishing touches, we also added handlebar risers, equalizers and strip-turning front signals - for some extra custom edge. To finish off this project we gave the bike a Dyno Tune and rolled it back into the showroom for its first owner to adore. Keep scrolling for the final piece!

Riding in autumn offers less-than-perfect riding conditions and can be a bit daunting for new riders, so we've collated a few useful tricks of the trade for you soyou don't get caught out! Scroll down to see our 9 top tips for autumn riding... Top 9 tips for riding in autumn 1. Check/readjust tyre pressure Granted riders should be checking their tyre pressure every time they sit in the saddlebut the truth is a lot of riders forget. The drop in outside temperature could leave you surprised with how low your tyre pressure has got - so it really is crucial to check your tyre pressure before you set off. Another thing to check is your tyre's tread. With winter fast approaching, you could find yourself inserious trouble if you're riding with bald tyres - not to mention points on your licence. 2. Pack some spare bulbs With those darker nights coming into full swingyou'll want to make sure you can always see the path ahead. One of the worst positions to be in is to be ridingblind.Don't be caught in the dark. Storing one or twobulbs under your seat in bubble wrap could get you out of trouble! 3. Watch out for leaves With autumn in full swing, you'll tend to see more leaves and natural debris on the road. Take extra care when going over piled-up leaves as you don't know what lies beneath them. For all you know there could be a puncture waiting to happen, or worse, an oil spill!It's always best to slow your speed and go round congested areas best you can. 4. Put the dark visor away It can be really awesome to whip out the dark visors during the summertime -they look cool and serve a purpose. Throughout autumnyou get shorter days, and what may have been a pleasant afternoon ride could quickly becomea trip in the dark. Make sure you equip yourself with a clear visor in your bag or better yet, just use the clear visor until the next riding season begins. It is possible to get points on your licence if your visor decreases your visibility dramatically and the police can pull you over for this offence. 5. Dry warmer clothing As it gets a little colderwaterproofs and warmer clothing are essential in getting you to your destination comfortably. There's a substantial amount of clothing on offer, all with fantastic features such as crash protection, high visibility, inner lining and heated accessory compatibility. Be prepared for the colder nights of autumn with a new set of biker trousers or comfort neck tubes. 6. Pin locks and rain repellent If you haven't already got a pin lock on your helmet, they are incredibly useful and some riders would say essential. A pin lock insert is made from a moisture-absorbing material that is secured to the visor with pins to create an air-tight chamber. This material reacts like a sponge to moisturein the air before it can settle and start fogging your visor. Another essential israin repellent spray, made to enhance clear vision - this keeps the water running off your visor rather than gathering on top. 7. Squeaky clean chain Chain maintenance should be an ongoing thing for any rider, however, some riders fail to realise the importance of a healthy chain. A poorly cared for chain can lead to damaged links, rust and hard points - causing thechain to snap and damage your motorcycle in the process. It is important to clean dirt off of your chain regularly, degrease it, dry it, and then apply new lube or oil. During the colder months there tends to be more grit and dirt out on the roads which will lead to dirty chains/belts. 8. Watch out for wildlife Most wildlife is nocturnal, meaning they come out at night when there is little lighting. With the autumn evenings drawing sooner, this means animals will be out earlier than usual - take extra care when you are riding and keep your eyes peeled. If you see wildlife out on your travels, slow down and try to get them off to the side of the road. 9. Check the weather Weather conditions can be somewhat unpredictable in autumn...one minute it's dry and sunny then the next it's cold and wet. Keep an eye on your favourite weather app and only ride in safe conditions.If you are new to riding, maybe try to stay off the bike in stormy rain. Don't forget - if you own a newermotorcycle with ride modes, be sure to activate Rain Mode for maximum traction control. Need more advice?

The Invicta Chapter has been running for decades, with countless meet-ups and social gatherings monthly. Although meet-up venues have changed over the years, they still very much remain a strong tight-knit group of Harley-Davidson enthusiasts with permanent residence at Maidstone Harley-Davidson. The group holds several ride-outs, meet-ups, charity events and sponsored events throughout the year and below are details about just someof these events! If the Invicta HOG Chapter is something you're interested in getting involved in, please contact them here. Scroll down for more information on their recent trips... So what's new? Independence Day '22 For this year's (American) Independence Day celebration BBQ, the Chapter supported Maidstone Harley-Davidson by running the BBQ and providing some top notchentertainment! The "V-Twins" rocked the stage for two sets duringthe day and they held a cake sale, raising a whopping 247.60 for two very important charities - MIND and Headway, edging ever closer to their annual goal of 3,000! Ukrainian Refugee Aid 22 The Chapter has done amazing work in supporting Ukraine during these extremely difficult times. Through various fundraising activities, they have managed to raise over 800 for the cause, which wenttowards humanitarian aid (food, baby equipment, sanitary products, sleeping bags and water). After getting the aid products, they then took the collection over to Oxford where it was loaded onto an artic truck. Joining them were several other Chapters, filling a total of six large-sized vans. Magic Bike, Rudesheim Although many of the Chapter members have been to this event before, it was a first-time visit for a few. Riding all the way to Germany on their Harley-Davidson motorcycles this group of Chapter riders enjoyed themselves immensely - there was even a Ramstein tribute band! Yorkshire Tour The Chapter took a fabulous tour around Yorkshire in all of its summertime glory this year. With stunning views and enjoyable stop-offs, what's more to want? The riders encountered varied riding conditions, with some optional off-roading too allowing the Pan America riders to really lay down the law. Galicia and the Picos de Europa Trip '22 Organised by Simon and Rob, the Galicia and Picos tour went superbly from both ariding perspective and the general experiences along the way. After two days of riding through France, the group entered the Pyrenees and then went onto Andorra before stopping at Tremp.

The result? A completely unique and breathtaking custom muscle cruiser that exceeded all expectations. Scroll down to see this custom beauty and contact us today on 01233 636699 to make it yours. The Rocket 3 R The toughest muscle cruiser on the road, prepare yourself for take-off! Before After What was the process? (Total time of painting was between 3.5 - 4 days) The rocket was shipped straight over to Image Design Custom where it was first sanded back and primed with a high build primer. Once it was cured the bike was sanded back to a smooth state ready for the base colouring and design to follow. The first base colour was painted Crystal White, the white was then masked off using special fine line tapes that create a nice clean paint edge, after that it was time for Gold then finally Black. Once all paints were applied to the complete kit, the bodywork was then demasked and the silver flag detailing was added to the white parts of the tank. The Triumph logos were then airbrushed over the top in various areas through the paint masks. At this stage, the panels are ready for the first hit of clearcoat lacquer - once the lacquer has been baked off in the spray booth and cured, the bike is sanded back to take back any additional paint edges, leaving a smooth level surface. After smoothing is complete, the final touches are made to seal the deal on this sweet ride. Oncesome small touch-ups are done the bike is ready for another 3-4 layers of lacquer. The bike is once again cured, polished and wrapped ready for shipping. Make it yours... Call us today on 01233 636699 Don't ride like everyone else... Become thetrendsetter at bike night!

Tue, 13 Sep 2022 00:00:00 BST https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/review-of-the-2022-honda-cmx1100-rebel A rockabilly rebel from head to toe The big daddy in the Honda cruiser line-up, the CMX1100 takes the edgy style of riding to another level. Honda has packed a fair amount of technology into a pretty classic-looking motorcycle for anyone looking for a bike with a bit more rock'n'roll attitude. We handed one of our Honda CMX1100sto Brayden our Content Lead for a larger look at this rebel. To book your own demo on this bike, please drop us a call on 01622 713950 Scroll down to see everything Brayden has to say on the model... The CMX1100 Rebel - Introduction Video So how did the Rebel do? What did you think of the engine, power and torque? "The engine is a punch powerhouse, offering tremendous low-down torque - it'll whip youaround town with no troubles at all. It hosts an excellent gearbox with silky smooth gears and a decent lower rev range. I think the torque at hand is a bit surprising within a cruiser-style motorcycle, so there's lots of fun to be had - whether you're in Sport, Standard or Rain mode. I think although this is a 1084cc motorcycle it wasn't really made to be a steam train of power. The feeling you get when aboard one of these machines trumps the force it can churn out. Instantly upon sitting in the saddle you feel badass... The blacked-out components of the engine build really make it something special and you'll get off feeling a little bit like Jason Momoa - although I am fully aware thatI'm a lot shorter and certainly not Aquaman." How was the handling, brakes, comfort and riding position? "The Rebel was surprisingly easy to handle and I had no struggles manoeuvring the machine when out and about. It did become a fraction harder to handle at lower speeds, but that's a pretty global cruiser attribute that you swiftly become used to when on the road. Honda definitely did good by only loading one brake on the front asa second could add unnecessary weight to the handling that would have potentially ruined the model. That being said, the stopping force of the bike was confident and precise - there were no troubles in sudden nor gradual slowing. Comfort for a cruiser has got to be one of the most important aspects. The handlebar reach and footpeg position aren't a problem for even the longer journeys you may be doing. That being said I would potentially change the seat for a more comfortable alternative as it left me with a little bit of tailbone ache. Additionally due to the power behind this mile eater, if you're riding two-up you may want to add a backrest for your pillion." Technology - was it helpful? "First of all, I really love the way Honda has stylised their display - it's got a classic round shape. If you look into that classic shaping, everything modern is waiting for you. I was surprised with how much technology is waiting for you aboard the Rebel for something which looks so simple in the flesh. There are tons, like ABS, a USB charging point, traction control, ride modes and of course the HISS. I would say the technology is useful but there are some unnecessary features such as wheelie control -is it capable of a wheelie mistakenly?I would be surprised." What Modifications would you make? "As mentioned earlier I think I would go with a third-party seat alternative as the curvature of the stock seat just doesn't sit right with me (if you pardon the pun).Additionally I would look for pillion seating alternatives and a backrest too. Although only a slight modification, I would probably invest in some braided brake lines, as there's only one brake on each wheel so any braking deterioration would be instantly noticeable. Other minor modifications I would make are flipping the mirrors to underbar or bar-ends, as I think they would just fit better with the overall style of the bike." Overall how did you find the Rebel 1100? "There's not much I would fault the bike on.Honda has done a grand job in breaking into the cruiser market once again and this model is a clear-cut different biketo the older Honda Fury. Most of all you'll feel like a rockstar when you're riding.I was out for a short duration and had three compliments and countless head turns for the bike. Considering its stock without any modifications - other than the slip-on muffler, I think that's a pretty clear indication the manufacturer has made a cool-looking motorcycle. On top of the model's aesthetics, it rides well too and is equipped with a great bit of kit to keep you out of harm's way. There could be a few modifications made to increase overall comfort for the longer journey but for the price point it sits at, I'd be happy to make the investment."

We're throwing it back in this 2021 news story focussing on a collaboration between Mutt Motorcycles and Gorillaz bassist,Seye Adelekan. If one man knows what it takes to be cool, it's him. Seye has spent the last few years working with some of the biggest names in the industry including Elton John, Slaves, Skepta and Robert Smith to name a few! Seye had recently ventured into the world of motorcycles and took his CBT, so Mutt Motorcycles got him by the London branch for the lowdown. Scroll down to find out whySeye got into riding and what he thinks of Mutt Motorcycles... What made you curious to venture into the world of motorcycles, Seye? "Well, the freedom of it. Theyre obviously just cool machines, but there is something I feel that signifies the free spirit, the way you can just get up and go somewhere. Whereas there's something about a car that feels like a more stifled experience -youre less in contact with the world around you. There's also something about motorcycles being a more solo experience. You might ride with people, but it's your story, you and the road. That sort of feeling fascinates me. I could definitely see myself on a motorcycle going down the coastline for hours and hours and it not being boring, whereas I feel like if I was in the car Im more likely to nod off. It feels like a much more active way of getting somewhere. And what do you think about Mutt Motorcycles? Theyre super cool. I think theyre great, they are somehow classic and somehow modern and I'm not entirely sure how that's happened, but obviously, lots of really, really good people have worked hard to do that. They just look likereally well-made, wonderfully crafted machines. It's the same with music. There's kind of nothing worse than someone just doing a 60s record, for example, but I dont think there is necessarily anything great in someone just nodding or being reverent to what's been before. My favourite stuff is often where there is something classic and timeless, but it's referencing that; made today, clearly of now and not just nostalgic, not just futuristic. What model did Seye pick? Razorback 125 Gloss Red Mon, 12 Sep 2022 00:00:00 BST https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/the-suzuki-sv650-two-decades-and-counting Real-world fun and affordability The Suzuki SV650 has been on the naked motorcycle market for two decades. Over this time, Suzuki has paid the model great attention with various model upgrades, remodels and refinements into what we see today. Although the model has received many upgrades, it still remains one of the more affordable motorcycles on today's market. Let's take a look at thismodel over the years, and find out how it got to where it is today. Scroll down to find out more about this Suzuki icon... So where did it all begin? The First Generation The "Curvy" with carburettors Due to its curved metal bodywork, the original SV grew the nickname "Curvy" SV650. Rocking this rounder design the bike pumped out a satisfactory 64hp within a 645cc, 90-degree, L-twin, two carburettor, liquid-cooled 8-valve engine. Although the power wasn't something to write home about, the bike weighed a mere wet weight of 189kg and achieved0-60mph in3.5 seconds. ThisSV650 is one of the new century's biggest success stories, and it all stems from the model keeping riders happy. Suzuki also offered a faired version, which boasted a more "race" style. The Second Generation Enter the fuel injector In 2003, Suzuki updated their muchloved model considerably. Although production was underway, these models were almost entirely sold in the States - only if you were lucky, you'd find one on the English market at the time. The biggest changes with this model included fuel injection -a game-changer inengine innovation,offering an improved cold/hot starting performance. Other improvements include a digital display, updated frame, increased durability and performance tweaks - giving more power andtorque, now offering 73hp and 64Nm of torque. Like the traditional model, the second-gen was available both naked and faired, meaning it was open to a broader appeal amongstriders worldwide. With the increased power, the bike could keep up with middleweight inline-four motorcycles until highway speeds, due to the bike's low-down torque and feather-like weight. The Challenge Emerged Something fresh takes the stage In 2009 Suzuki replaced the SV with the SFV650 Gladius, in an effort to keep the model new and exciting for customers. The model kept most of the original looks, besides the headlight and small parts of the motorcycle fairing. This model took centre stage with an improved engine, producing more low-down torque and bolstered mid-range power. With the styling and engine, refinements resulted ina slightly heavier motorcycle, now sitting at a wet weight of 202kg. Although an upgraded version, sadly the SFV650 received a lack of interest compared to the more original SV650 models and didn't quite make that "cult status", making them almost a rare find on the used market today. You may find one at a reasonable price and if it's in good condition, it'll still offer you fantastic Suzuki durability. The latest version Bringing sexy back After a much-anticipated return, Suzuki brought back the SV650 and made sure it would not only reappear, but also trump previous versions on the spec sheet. With aims to keep weight to a minimum, they did so successfully at 195kg -even with ABS! The engine was once again remastered, with updates for higher power and similar torque, giving riders what they sought. One component that did remain from the Gladius was the low seat, with a height of just 31 inches. Suzuki has now implemented a similar version of the SV650 named the SV650X.This is a "Cafe Racer" style SV650 and comes with various other upgrades, (mostly cosmetic),including a paint scheme, fairing fowl, clip-on handlebars and tuck & roll seat. Is the SV650 worth the purchase today? In our opinion, Suzuki has nailed the latest model of SV650. Through refinement and re-tuning, they've managed to create an exciting bike in an affordable price bracket - it definitely becomes a benchmark contender for middleweight naked bikes. They've managed to cut back on weight whilst giving the rider more features, such as low RPM assist, ABS, a modern display and an easy start system. This bike is light and nimble, allowing for great handlingand it's packed with premium brakes and a punchy twin engine - ready for any street riding you desire. Have questions about this model?

She found a kick-ass 3-in-1 black metropolitan jacket to wear as well as a stylish matt blackopen face helmet! From Maidstone Harley-Davidson Jade made her way up Rochester Road to the Bluebell Hill Picnic Site for awesome views and a stunning sunset you can't get anywhere else in town. If you haven't checked out the sunset here, you may want to add it to your list as you can see Aylesford and New Hythe twinkling in the distance. Jade then made her way from the Bluebell Hill Picnic Site to Maidstone central for some food. Jade's vegan, so she knows all the best places around town for a vegan treat. She stopped off at the Medway carpark, just a super short walk fromThe Rainbow Skull at the Royal Star Arcade.

Jade's verdict onthe new Nightster "TheNightster was pretty cool, you definitely get that instantHarleyfeel as soon as you sit in the saddle. These guys definitely know how to make a cruiser! I love the way they've blended old with new, like the classical-shaped speedo and rounded headlight. I also liked the way they've kept the speedo analogue with ahint of digital on the lower portion -this gives a nice mixture.The bike was super speedy from what I've experienced on cruisers before - it's got some punchy power to it as well as an easy-to-handle chassis. It's definitely a comfortable bike and I enjoyed the riding position... there's a natural handlebar reachand everything you need on the selectable controls. All in all, I liked the model. It was really fun to ride. Maybe this new Harley erais just what they needed." - Jade - Experience the Nightster for yourself... Book your demo today!

Is your motorcycle due an MOT? If it is, make sure you double-check the main reasons bikes fail their test. With data from GOV.UK available here(classes 1 & 2 motorcycles: 2020-2021 total) we see that 15.87% of motorcycles fail the initial MOT test. Within those fails, we see a staggering 45,318 motorcycles fail to a dangerous item defect. For more information on the defecttypes go to GOV.UKavailable here. Although there is a high amount of people failing to a dangerous defect, 11.39% of the overall fails are due to tweakable components. So to support your MOT tests, we've gathered the top ten reasons people fail the test - this way you can get your ride in tip-top condition when it comes to the testand you'll definitely cut the mustard. Scroll down for more information on this... The top 10 reasons for failing? 1st: Lamps and reflectors 2nd: Brakes 3rd: Motorcycle structure and attachments 4th: Tyres 5th: Suspension 6th: Steering 7th: Identification of the Vehicle 8th: Motorcycle audible warning [Horn] 9th: Wheels 10th: Other brakes MOTs maintain an obviously extremely important role in keeping our roads as safe as possible. Keeping the quality of motorcycles and vehicles to a set standard capable of getting from A-B without interfering or causing danger to other people on the road and surrounding area. The latest MOT updates brought in minor, major and dangerous defect categories in an effort to keep riders and drivers on top of the necessary work with their vehicles. The DVSA advises that vehicles with the 'dangerous' defect title shouldn't be used at all until repaired. DVSAs priority is helping everyone keep their vehicle safe, said Neil Barlow, DVSAs Head of Vehicle Engineering. He also mentioned it's incredibly disturbing how many failures are due to lights on the vehicle, a key component in keeping the operator safe from collisions. Forgetting your MOT is very common...

With the heatwave in full swing and the sun shining its magnificent rays over our glorious nation, we were inspired to askour Motorcycle Sales Advisor, Duffy, what his dream Grand American Tourer would be and where would he go if the world was his oyster. Don't forget you too can ride this Harleyand ride route, with our Harley-Davidson rentals package. Scroll down to see what he chose... "I would probably go with the Road Glide Special in Vivid Black and the chrome, as it really comes with everything I'd want. First off you've got that ground-rumbling Milwaukee-Eight 114ci engine, packed with bundles of Harley power. On top of the powerhouse within, there's a brilliant bit of kit in the form of an infotainment system with Boom! Box GTS. If we're talking mods or additions to the motorcycle, there's not much I would feel the need to add as it's pretty good to go. Perhaps if I was being extra picky I would add aH-D Onix Premium luggage system and a Stage One upgrade to give me even more passing power." Duffy's dream ride route takes him all the way to Germany! Check out the highlights of his road trip and the full ride route... 1. Maidstone Harley-Davidson The start-off point for all good road trips has got to be Maidstone Harley-Davidson!Take a quick look at the latest motorcycles in the store and grab a free coffee from the machine or snacks from the food van outside -to save youself a stop-off a bit later down the line.

The team have providedopportunities for military veterans to get involved in racing for over a decade now - and theycontinueto growevery year! Wecaught up with Phil Spencer, Founder and Team Principal of the True Heroes Racing teamand asked him a few questions about how and why he established the team all that time ago and what his plans are for the next decade to follow. Scroll down for the interview with Phil Spencer... Would you rather read the interview? No problem! What inspired you to start the True Heroes Racing team ten years ago? "I came back from Afghanistan and wanted to do something for those less fortunate than me, so I started raising money for military charities, started getting involved in BSB doing hospitality days for injured servicemen, etc.Then one day I just thought, "why are we stood on the sidelines? Let's get involved directly in the sport!"and that's how True Heroes Racingcame to fruition in 2012." What has been your best or most memorable moment with the True Heroes Racing team over the last 10 years? "Where to start?! We've achieved so many amazing things over the ten years. Bringing the first disabled rider into British Superbikes in 2013 with Murray Hambro - and last weekendChris Ganley became the first ever single arm amputee to race at this level. The help and benefits we've provided for people involved with us over the years -those are the achievements of this organisation and you can't really pull one single one out." What is your proudest moment over the last ten years? "Proudest moment... again the same sort of stuffI suppose. Bringing disabled competitors into the sport. By just bringing disability competitors and disability involvement in motorcycle racing to the forefront, we've sort of... not championed it directly, but it's been fallout from what we are and what we do. We're looked at by the organisersas the subject matter experts when it comes to disability involvement in motorcycle racing." What has been your toughest challenge to date in these last 10 years? "Toughest challenge for us was probably 2017 when Mark was killed at Thruxton. Coming back from that was difficult for me as the person who put him on the track in the first place. But we know being here still is what Mark would have wanted us to do. Helping more people would have been what Mark wanted us to do and therefore that's what we're doing." What have you learned in these last ten years of True Heroes Racing? "What have I learnedover the last ten years? Jesus, what haven't I learnt?! I wasn't a motorcyclist on the road, I haven't done a track day in my life let alone go racing or run a race team, so I've learned so much about the sport, about bikes, about the commercial side of things, sponsorships, social media, everything! I didn't know any of it, I was amilitary person who had served for 19 years when I started this organisation and I didn't have a clue about the real world. Now ten years down the line I'm in a different mindset, a different place and I've learned so much -even now still learning... What's VAT?!I've just had to learn about that in the last couple of years! So you never stop learning in this sport." What are your aspirations for True Heroes Racing over the next ten years? "The next ten years, we just want to continue to expand and continue to offer more opportunities. I've got loads of big aspirations...we'd love to have a facility we can run 24/7 to offer more opportunities for guys and girlsboth between racing and out of racing. Aspirations to continue to the top level in the sport and just keep fielding more bikes. You may know that we are the biggest single team in the paddock as it is, but that's not enough for me - I want to do more. I want to offer more opportunities for more guys and girls to get involved and benefit from being involved in True Heroes Racing." Want to race like the pros? The Panigale V2 The new Panigale V2 is a compact yet beefy motorcycle built with clear-cut lines that convey aggressive power and Ducati performance engineering. Featuring a single-sided aluminium swingarm, the hallmark of the most supreme sports bikes. Are you ready to take off like a missile? Sun, 28 Aug 2022 00:00:00 BST https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/the-revolutionary-revolution-max-engine Upping the competition... In early 2021, Harley-Davidson released their brand new engine, the Revolution Max 1250 - an engine like no other within their range. With this new engine came showstopping performance, remastered economy and upgraded reliability. Staying true to their past, they took their iconic V-Twin engine and raised the bar, bringing them up-to-date with other manufacturers and in line with their competitors. Scroll down to find out more about this engine and where to find it... The Revolution Max engine is unlike anything we have seen before from the Harley brand, it utilises a liquid cooling system allowing for tighter component tolerances which can only be achieved when the temperature is controlled - so there's less expansion and contraction of metal parts within the engine. This combined with automatically measured and adjusted heat chambers & radiator allows for the bikes to always run at optimum temperatures. The Rev Max engine is a 60-degree V-Twin, different from the usual 45-degree we see on the Milwaukee-Eight. It also utilises a dual overhead cam design with one cam specifically for the intake and one cam specifically for the exhaust, meaning the rider can benefit from independent variable valve timing. A closer look atthe Rev Max 1250T engine... Revolution Max 975T Nightster Revolution Max 1250T Sportster S Revolution Max 1250 Pan America The Pan America takes centre stage as Harley-Davidson's first ever adventure bike, straying away from their obvious usual market within the Cruiser category. Utilising this brand new engine from Harley-Davidson, the bike is capable of truly anything the rider's heart could desire. Due to the variable valve timings, the Pan America is efficient over a wide range of engine operating speeds - meaning you get both incredible torque and supreme top-end speed. The Sportster is an icon within the Harley-Davidson range and becomes quite a pivotable point within the sport cruiser motorcycle market. By incorporating this brand new Revolution Max 1250T engine you get close to double figures in power (121 HP) when comparing it with a Forty-Eight (2021). You also receive a significant drop in weight of over 50kg asthe Revolution Max casing is made from a sturdy but light Magnesium compound. The Nightster has recently hit the scene,again with the new 2022 successor. This time infused again with the Revolution Max 975T engine, there's a big jump up in peak power which is much more competitive,whilst producing a substantial torque level too. This smaller Rev Max engine is tuned for smoother power delivery and less aggressive force from the throttle, which goes hand-in-hand with the easy-to-handle weight.

Suzuki Clutch Assist System SCAS or Suzuki Clutch Assist System works as an assist clutch to make the lever easier to pull whilst continuing power output.

Reviewing the 1050XT: Engine "Suzuki has adjusted the peak torque on the V-Strom 1050 from previous models, meaning at higher revs you'll feel that it's ready to give you more. It feels keener to get to the 9,500rpm redline and makes the old machine's power delivery feel like a distance memory. Throttle response is much tighter due to the new ride-by-wire system, meaning a smoother and predictable execution." -John Westlake (MCN) Featherweight adventure The V-Strom'slightweight and compact chassis play a crucial part in the power delivery of the V-Twin engine - combining this agile weight with maximum power, you get an outcome with bundles of character.

The 43mm KYB upside-downies at the front and the KYB mono-shock rear suspension are both easily adjustable and theres loads of ground clearance.

Tue, 23 Aug 2022 00:00:00 BST https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/review-of-the-2022-harley-davidson-nightster A Nightster to remember... Harley-Davidson brings the iconic styling of the previous Nightster back and combines it with the ultimate sporty powerhouse withthe Revolution Max engine. It incorporates modern technology with classic styling, whilst of course supporting that iconic bar and shield Harley-Davidson logo on the fuel tank styled airbox. Our eCommerce Manager, Tim, took our Nightster demo bikeout for a night on the road - and we caught up with him to find outhow he got on with the bike and what he thought about it. Tim's take... What did you think about the engine, power and torque on the Nightster? "The Nightsterdefinitely fitsinto its sporty class. It gives you easy passing power and I found itexciting toride. I especially liked the length of each gear -it was better than some of the other cruisers I've tried as the gears had a substantial length to them, allowing for more riding fun. It's quite a smooth bike to ride and Harley has definitely made it to be quite mid- to high-range bulky as you notice an incredible amount of eagerness in the third gear onwards." How was the handling, brakes, comfort& riding position? "The handling was noticeably great on the Nightster. With the fuel tank being relocated it meant cornering and low-speed manoeuvres were easy. I'm usually used to riding naked sport bikes, so the initial change took a little bit of adjusting to, but I fell into the Nightster quite swiftly as it was so easy to handle and so light! Filtering was easy too, even with the bar-end mirrors -it was easy to whip through traffic and sit comfortably at the traffic lights. The brakes were something of a soft spot on the model for me. I would say more braking power would be ideal for me as I hadto pull the lever quite hard to get substantial stopping force. Although this is pretty common on cruisers andit may just be part of the style, I would look at getting this element upgraded - but it depends on the style of riding you prefer. Also cruisers would usually give me a sore back after half an hour, but I was riding the Nightster for almost two hours with no problems at all. There is a comfortable reach to the handlebars and the suspension was firm but comfy. Plus this is adjustable anyway so you can adjust it to your preference." How was theTechnology and was it useful? "I didn't use much of the technology available.I felt the ABS kick in once when I rode over a pothole which was nice to know it was in fullworking order. One nice feature to note was the keyless ignition - always extremely helpful as it doesn't allow me to forget the keys in the ignition!Other than that I quite liked the display, not too much information at hand but everything you would need for yourday-to-day journey. It had ride modes too, which of course any rider almost forgets as soon as they sit in the saddle as there is only one true riding mode and that's sport!" What modifications would you make to this bike? "For me personally I would change the exhaust, perhaps for something along the lines of Vance and Hines Shorts Shots. They're more up my street and would definitely add a little bit of that iconic Harley rumble at the lower rev range. The bike would tend to only provide that famous sound at higher revs so I would love to have that throughout, even when I'm sitting at the lights. Additionally, as I mentioned before, I would potentially upgrade the brakes and pads, as there was a little bit of a struggle for the braking point for me." How was the Nightster overall and who is it best suited to? "Overall the Nightster is a stunning-looking cruiser, it definitely appeals to my minimalistic style. It was light and compact which I liked as compared to normal Harley-Davidson motorcycles, it's a hell of a lot easier to move around. So for anyone wanting the Harley ride lifestyle without the weight, it's perfect. I would probably say the Nightster is tailored for the smaller person, or anyone looking for a small and nimble ride to whip around effortlessly. With the price it's on the market, I imagine you'll definitely see more and more of these models about as its a lot more affordable than the Grand Tourer range - and you'll still get that awesome bar and shield on the side of your 'tank'..."

Not only did they plan to make an intense-feeling machine, but they also wanted it to be fast and practical. They set out to destroy the competition with none other than the Hayabusa a souped-up bike named after the Japanese translationfor a peregrine falcon (a bird of prey that dives at speeds of 200mph and eats blackbirds for breakfast - if you know, you know).It also shares its name with a fighter plane used by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force in World War II. 1999 2008 2021 Yoshiura San, the designer behind the bike, said The concept of the first Suzuki Hayabusa was to create an original and dominating impact with superior aerodynamics, as well as being the most powerful sports motorcycle. I designed it with the intention of getting attention, using a unique motorcycle design. It needed to be the ultimate road-legal motorcycle with the highest performance from mass-produced bikes. It became an immediate hit and cult status followed, with the Hayabusa becoming an icon. The symbol on the fairing is called a Kanji, which means 'strong and fast'.

Over the partnership, Rea has shown motivation anddetermination in every race, giving the KRT the utmost confidence in an extended venture together. Scroll down to read more from the partners... A word from Jonathan Rea I am really happy and excited to renew my contract with Kawasaki, to roll on for another two more years. It has been an incredible partnership, we have enjoyed so much success together that it is almost a natural progression. There was not much negotiation needed to continue together from both sides. It was more a case of how much more motivation I had to keep racing at the highest level in the WorldSBK championship. It has been an incredible few seasons; more competitive than ever. I have realised how motivated I am to continue and to continue fighting to win. Kawasaki gave me the opportunity back in 2015 to realise a childhood dream when I won the WorldSBK championship in the first year together. As a partnership, we are so solid, and I am looking forward to continuing making memories and representing an incredible manufacturer and brand. My team is my racing family. I love everyone inside the team like my own family and relationships like that count for a lot in racing. Huge credit goes to every single person in the staff, from Provec Racing, all the engineers in Japan, and everyone in the Kawasaki family. I am excited to see what we can do over the next two seasons. A word from Guim Roda (KRT Team Manager) Since we signed Johnny for the 2015 season, and until now, we have written a nice part of WorldSBKs history. We are so proud to be part of this Rea success story, which also means, Kawasakis success story. Its going on eight seasons together now, and Johnny has been performing at the maximum, always. Nowadays, and at the age of 35, he is in his best shape, and we know there's still a lot of dancing left to be done. We have been working hard to define, with KMC, which kind of project we could create for Johnny to allow him to keep pushing at 110%. I think we gave him the motivation he needed to go for it for two years more. We can never rest on the laurels of our successful past, so we will have a hard job covering JRs expectations. We are ready for that.

It'sthe perfect little nipper to be swung through London traffic andthe answer to all of Reggie's commuting prayers. Mutt gave the bike a stealthy black design and finishedit with subtle styling touches to bring it to life and give it the ultimate custom look. Like a fine wine... It's the little things that make an awesome-looking ride.Mutt customed Reggie's bike with an awesome tail light concealed within the rear frame and a premium seat - hand-fashioned in Bugatti suede. Then to put the cherry on top of what was already an awesome looking two-wheeler, they added Reggie's own graphic to the side panel, which became the finalfinishing touch. Welcoming home the new pup... Reggie's reaction to the bike was none other than great, it was the perfect little demon which wasidealfor his daily London commutes. He named the bike 'The Mutt Wiler' and it joined his collection of bikes and cars he has back home. Reggie has now delivered one of his bigger machines up to Mutt HQ for some Mutt-ification...

"Other than my current every day motorcycle, the Harley-Davidson Fat Bob, I have kept the Bonneville T140 because I genuinely love it so much. It's an enjoyable ride with so much effortless character, wherever I go it keeps a smile on my face. An absolute classic in my opinion and that's why I've kept it all this time! If notthe Bonneville T140, I would definitely say the Suzuki RGV 250 VJ22... Wow, that was a bike and a half, an absolutely awesome 2-stroke legend. If you know bikes, you'd know this bike was an awesome ride - the closest thing you could get to a GP bike on the road. I definitely regret selling that bike." What is next on your list? "I quite like the look of the Kawasaki Z900RS. It has traditional-looking styling and will be one of the most reliable bikes in today's market. I also think 900cc is a substantial amount of power and to go larger than that could beunneccessary for me. Simply because I couldn't use the immensespeed you get with a 120,000HP engine sports bikeouton the road unless I go to a track!" Have you owned any of these bikes?

Thu, 07 Jul 2022 00:00:00 BST https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/keep-a-lid-on-things Check your motorcycle helmet today If you like your head, keep it where it is! Wearing a motorcycle lid or crash helmet can be critical in keeping you safe when riding. It is highly recommended you change your motorcycle lid every five years to ensure maximum protection against all riding impacts. Whether you are due an upgrade or are unsure about what is needed from a crash helmet, we've got you covered on what to look out for -including common FAQs and certifications you need for road legal riding. Scroll down for details... The importance of a certified helmet Need more information? Here are some FAQs... How long do helmets last? Motorcycle lids last five years from when you bought them new. If yours is made of thermoplastic resin, maybe it will last five years; if it's made of carbon fibre, you could stretch that lifespan to seven years but not much more. How do you know if a helmet is any good? Helmets often undergo testing and certification checks in order to make them street or track legal. If you are on the lookout for a new helmet, firstly make sure it is ECE approved. This is a European safety standard needed for a helmet to be legal on the road. In addition to ECE approval, search the desired helmet on Google or Sharp for further information on how effective it is on impacts. Why do helmets have a lifespan? The helmet's materials are resistant to impacts, abrasion and other forces. Gradually these materials lose their properties and degrade over time - meaning they will not efficiently deflect motorcycle accident damage. If you've taken a fall, change your helmet! If you have suffered a fall with your helmet, it's time to change your lid. Even if it seems no damage has been made to the helmet, the material is produced to resist just one impact and no more! So if this has happened to you, retire the helmet and repurpose it as a fancy book end or something... just keep it away from your head. Check out these options, all ECE-approved of course... If you need any assistance with picking out a helmet or fitting, please give us a call on 01622 711680 Wed, 06 Jul 2022 00:00:00 BST https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/a-ktm-300-exc-race-up-the-iron-giant Shredding up a storm with a KTM 300 EXC Two superstars Kailub Russell, (8x consecutive GNCC champion), and Chris Birch, (hard enduro expert), racedup the Iron Giant,(Erzberg mountain in Austria), to see just how capable the KTM 300 EXCreally is.

Our new Suzuki GSX-S1000GT demo bike recently arrived in store andwe had one very keen rider wanting to give it a go!... our very own Brayden Quinn (Laguna Content Lead). Check out what Suzuki's new model has to offer and everything Brayden enjoyedabout thisride. To book your demo please call us on 01622 681765 today! Scroll down to see his review... What's the verdict? What did you think of the engine, power and torque "What a machine! The Suzuki GSX-S1000GT is an almighty force not to be taken lightly. It pulls and pulls giving you a stimulating thrill in gears one through to six. I especially like the gear lengths and their silky smooth performance. This bike is so progressively smooth you'd think you're riding a twist and go. Additionally, I liked the rev range available, red lining at 11,750rpm there was lots to play with and plenty of passing power. The torque available is buckets of fun andfrom traffic light to traffic light you'll have no problem swiftly yet smoothly taking off. You'll be smiling from ear to ear when you take off at the lights, leaving everyone behind you in your mirrors!" How was the handling, brakes &riding position? "With experience predominantly onnaked motorcycles, I was concerned that this bike would feel heavy to move. Howeverit handled with surprising ease, giving confidence-inspiring agility you can really play with in the corners. For me, brakes are a sensitive subject, (if you pardon the pun).With a bikeof this size I'd expect big things. With Brembo taking the reins, you get enough stopping force -but it lacks a little off the lever. I would recommend you try this bike out for yourself though as this could just be personal preference. There is not one thing I would change about the riding position as it offers a relaxed yet engaging ride. Duringmy time on the bike I didn't get uncomfortable once. There was a relaxed reach to the gripswith lots of leg room from the pegs, plus the controls on the handlebars were well laid out.I was not blessed by the height Gods and am a fairly short guy at 5"8, but I could flat foot this motorcycle noproblem." Technology - was it useful? "This bike is packed to the brim with helpful technology and accessibility. First off I really loved the TFT display.It was clear, precise and provided all the necessary riding information I could possibly want or need. Connecting it to your smartphone was easy too -it gives you an array of options and apps to use including phone, music and map navigation - as well as a library of third-party apps too. The SDMS (Suzuki Drive Mode Selector) is fantastic, offering a range of different manageable rider modes you may wish to use - especially useful for the variety of different weather conditions we see here in the U.K. On top of the rider modes, you also get a five-level plus off traction control which let me modify the bike to the way I like it. The cruise control on this bike was fairly easy to use. With a few simple button presses you get easy riding, which I feel would be ideal for longer journeys. Other creature comforts included quick shifter (bi-directional) and low rpm assist." What modifications would you make to this bike? "As I mentioned before, I'd perhaps swap out the brake pads if I was predominantly doing short journeys on this bike. As the majority of the power on offer only appears once the pads and discs are up to fuller temperatures. Although the exhaust note on this motorcycle is by standard something special, adding a slip-on can could quite possibly blow my mind - I'd be excited to hear what an Akrapovic alternative would sound like. Then depending on my riding use, I'd quite like to add panniers and a top box, enhancing the bike's obviousgreat touring capabilities." How would yourate the Suzuki GSX-S1000GT overall? "Wowza what a ride. Overall I had a really good time on the bike. Itis definitely a great contender in the Sports Tourer category, giving other brands a sure run for their money - especially as it sits at such an accessible price point considering how much you get for your wonga. Personally I really like the look of this model...lots of sharp bodywork, LED lighting and metallic colours throughout. From all angles it was photogenic, let's put it that way. The bike performed well on straights and in corners, it provided well above-par agile capability. The suspension was noticeably cushiony and provided great resistance to our pothole-filled roads! On top of everything I liked about this bike, almost instantly you realise the soundtrack from its stock exhaust is remarkable and there was not one red light I wasn't tempted to rev like a hooligan. If I was going to buy a Sport Tourer motorcycle, the Suzuki GSX-S1000GT would definitely be worthy of consideration. Try it out, you'll see this for yourself."

The model is packed with bundles of torque, highway horsepower and extremely aggressive styling unlike anything else we see in the line-up. If you're looking for a Harley-Davidson, fancy an upgrade or want to join this darker bike era the Fat Bob could definitely be your bet bob. Join the Fat Bob club today, with one of these jaw-dropping options. Scroll down for more information on this ride... Why the Fat Bob? Bennetts Review "A bike that certainly turns heads and holds fantastic thrust from that massive engine." Features: Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine (1,868cc) 155Nm torque @ 3,500rpm 93HP @ 5,020rpm Inverted aluminium forks Toolless hydraulic preload adjustable mono-shock 4-piston fixed front callipers 2-piston floating rear calliper Built to turn heads with maximum aggression, you'll dominate the road wherever you ride. The Fat Bob features thick tyres on laser engraved cast wheels, giving a noticeable riding edge. The upswept matt finished exhausts add to the bike's naturally muscular character, straying away from the traditional chrome charisma. The cherry on top of a what's already a radical-looking motorcycle is the bold strip headlight, boasting a strong 'leader of the pack' feel. The Fat Bob sits within the Softail range and comes with a handy external preload adjuster.

Wed, 22 Jun 2022 00:00:00 BST https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/an-extension-of-your-personality Motorcycle customisation was prevalent in the swinging sixties The 60s saw a rise in rebellious rock 'n' rollcustom motorcycles and bike meets across the globe. Motorcycles looked less like a standard mode of transport and more like an extension of an individuals personality. Customwork swiftly followed any bike purchase and there was always something else to be done in the workshopto enhanceperformance or appearance. However even with this rider habit which continues today, it's not unusual to see the same makeand model of motorcycleon a ride out with very little done by the rider, but they'vestill madeit their own. Let's get creative and get some more unique custom bikes on the road! Scroll down for some inspiration... Making your bike more unique can simply come down to a few basic tweaks, straying away from the stock buildsthat rollout of the factory. If you're thinking about customisingyour motorcycle, then why not start with handlebars, indicators, levers and soft luggage. Handlebars You can easily change the entire look of your motorcycle with handlebars, allowing you to change the shape and angle you mount the mirrors and controls - a good brand to look out for are Renthal. Hand levers Levers are a bit of a challenge, there are lots on the market varying in price and some claim to be universal and one size fits all. Meaning it fits everything okay, but not well! It's always better to find brands like Pazzo or ASV. Soft luggage If you'd like to add practicality to your motorcycle without installing a top box or set of panniers then look no further than soft luggage. Such as tank bags, tail bags and saddlebags - all giving you more room to store goodies. Indicators A simple yet really effective modification is indicators. Available in a wide range of shapes, sizes and brightness,there'll definitely be something you like. Don't forget you can get bar-end indicators and integrated tail lights too. You may have decided that you've had enough of seeing the same motorcycle out and about and wantto stray away from the pack!These subtle changes can add bundles of character and performance to your motorcycle... Bar risers Handlebar risers enhance your riding experience by raising the handlebars up, often taking the strain away from your neck, wrists and lower back. These, like the handlebars themselves, canchange the shape of your motorcycle, adding character and raising the bar (quite literally). Dual-sprockets Upping the game of rear sprockets, dual sprockets utilise a combination of aluminium and steel to create a durable yet lightweight alternative to normal sprockets. Lasting three times longer than aluminium sprockets alone, these offer great bang for your buck. Braided cables Not only can you get braided cables in a bunch of different colours to match your motorcycle, but they're also more durable. Over time standard rubber brake lines become soft, therefore you lose some force that's applied to the brake pistons. Keep your brakes as sharp as possible with braided cables. For those of you who have apassion of making your motorcycle your own,far away from the stock motorcycle life,here lie the bigger customisation options you may need workshop assistance for... Accessory packs These packs which are available at Laguna stores are a great way of upgrading the performance and feel of your motorcycle. There area good range to pick from, such as performance or touring and these packs will include various different mechanical upgrades. Tyres The market for tyres is huge and you can often find exactly what you are after as there aresuch a huge rangeof options. Adding different tread patterns, coloured walls and thickness can really change the appearance of your motorcycle. Exhaust One of the most common customisations straight from the factory is adding your own slip-on muffler or exhaust system. There are tons of brands out there such as Akrapovic, Black Widow, Zard and Lextek to name a few - which can add stacks of audio charisma to your bike. If you need help or support on any of the parts and modifications listed in this feature- let us know! One of our Parts Specialists will be happy to help.

Thanks to a former racer and appointed Honda Sport Engineer, Tadao Baba (Baba-san), who knew where a keyarea of design was being completely overlooked - a change indirection for the FireBlade was sparked... Join us as we take a closer look at the FireBlade, to see how it's developed overtime and how it's still burning strong today. Scroll down for more information. Originally, the FireBlade was designed as a 750cc motorcycle with test rides being given on this prototype-sized model. HoweverHonda felt that this could affect sales of their own 750cc sports and sports-touring productsalready sitting in thisrange. Baba-san took the frame and chassis components and installed a893cc motor, which assembled just as well. Keeping the weight at an all-time low, this newly installed larger-sized engine produced fantastic results of its time. And so it began. The Honda CBR900RR FireBlade launchedin the UK in the spring of 1992, costing just 7,390. Blowing away the competition, itquickly becamethe benchmark large-capacity sports bike for years to come, in anaggressive black and gunmetal colour shceme, or red, white and blue. Over the years there have been numerous engineering and cosmetic changes to the model. The 2000 model was the birth of the fuel-injection 929cc motor, boasting an output of 150hp. Then in 2002,Tadao Baba bid farewell with his last model upgrade - featuring aremastered suspensionand a larger capacity and refined fuel injection system. We also saw a shark-like appearance being formed, with journalists worldwide giving praise to the bike's overall aggressive feel and thrill. In 2004 we saw the release of an all-new CBR1000RR with design inspiration taken directly from Honda's all-conquering RCV211V MotoGP machine. Finally the FireBlade becomes a full-capacity litre-class sports bike. Belting out a whopping 170bhp the FireBlade was a weapon of its time, quickly becoming the bike to ride across all riding industries. In 2006 tweaks were made to the model, seeing changes like gearing shifts and lighter cams, producing a more efficient low-down torque performance. From 2012 to 2019 we saw various variants released such as the SP, three versions of the RR and the SP2. The SP, meaning Sports Production,took the limelight by introducing revolutionary Ohlins suspension, Brembo brakes, five-axis IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) and a nine-level Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC). The game was evolving. In 2020 the FireBlade activated full God mode, introducing a 215bhp at a dizzy 14,500rpm. (That's about 100bhp up from the initial model). Incorporating engineering dominance from MotoGP and utilising show-stopping technology. The electronics now featured a six-axis IMU, launch control, nine traction control modes, a quick shifter (up & down), keyless ignition and a full-colour display. All in all, becoming the best blade the world has ever seen. Honda continues to upgrade the FireBlade and has made various improvements since 2020, including corner-exit acceleration, throttle response and sprocket size. The eternal flame... The Honda FireBlade now burns stronger than ever, becoming a Superstock record-breaking bike and one of the most used motorcycle models within the 2022 racing season. To celebrate such a fantastic three decades of FireBlade engineering genius, Honda has released a 30th Anniversary Edition of the SP variant. This model is a limited edition and riders will get their very own individual serial number etched into the fork top yolk. They'll also receive a specially engraved Akrapovic exhaust, 1992 legend-inspired graphics, an anniversary badge of honour and a dedicated anniversary animated start-up. With only a few of thismodel available, be sure to make your enquiry now - before it's too late! The modern-day FireBlade FIREBLADE Fan the flame, rideyour own FireBlade. FIREBLADE SP More reactive than ever before, simply brilliant. SP 30TH ANNIVERSARY Celebrate the history and future of the FireBlade.

Let's get started! This first Category Collection focuses onmodern classic motorcycles. Scroll down for more information on our round-up... The bikes... Triumph Bonneville Bobber The Triumph Bobber carries an overwhelmingly cool presence which demands attention wherever you are. From its cut-short rear and fat tyres to its beefy liquid-cooled, parallel twin, 1200cc engine. This little bob-job carries a huge database of customisation options with an even bigger fanbase worldwide. Initially unveiled in 2016, the Triumph Bobber became their fastest ever selling bike. Carrying that cool factor wherever you go, the Bobber also has a tone of sophistication and class - a perfect combo for the more experienced rider. This bike offers an upright, forward riding position and a low seat height - ultimately converting to a low centre of gravity. Want to know more about the Bobber or see how it reviews? Kawasaki Z650RS The Kawasaki Z650RS instantly resembles the Kawasaki Z1, a much-loved model from the early 70s. This classic has been remastered with industry-leading modern technology like LED lighting, a TFT digital display, ABS, etc. This modern naked motorcycle offers a fun-to-ride and full-of-character liquid-cooled, parallel twin 649cc engine. The Z series, including the RS range is known for fantastic reliability. You'll most likely have no problems with this "bulletproof" engine. Bringing retro back in Kawasaki's 'retrovolution', you'll look and feel the part on a Z650RS. This bike has a user-friendly neutral riding position and an 820mm saddle, (taller than the standard Z650), giving you a comfortable posture for most riding scenarios. Want to know more about the Z650RS or see how it reviews? Suzuki SV650X Creeping into the modern classic category from the cafe racer, is the Suzuki SV650X. This bike features a smooth revving, liquid-cooled, V-Twin 645cc engine that utilises dual spark technology and produces an extremely rider friendly experience. The SV650X packs some awesome features into its slim body design, like ABS, low rpm assist and an easy start system, making it great for new riders. This motorcycle from stock, features a pleasingly deep exhaust note, meaning you wouldn't have to instantly cash out for a third party slip-on muffler. The rider will experience a slightly forward-leaning position keeping the cafe racer flavour flowingat full throttle. Want to know more about the SV650X or see how it reviews? Mutt Motorcycles FSR 125cc/250cc Bringing retro inspiration to the table, the Mutt Motorcycles FSR is a lot of bike for your buck. Available in two engine sizes 125cc or 250cc, this bike flaunts its characterful styling with an outlaw custom-racer look. The FSR features tons of urban edge which you'll find throughout the entire bike. Other features on this pup are a CBS (Combined Braking System), LED lighting infusion and a headlight grill. Mutt Motorcycles have built this bike to bring a sporty vibe to a retro-inspired motorcycle, hence its lightweight 17" cast wheels and lightweight chassis. This motorcycle is suitable for any rider looking to be that cool custom bike rider you see all over Netflix. Want to know more about the FSR? Yamaha XSR900 The Yamaha XSR900 was built to take on the competition whilst looking and feeling the part too. Leaving no race to a photo finish, it offers a hefty 117bhp, water-cooled, 890cc engine on a lightweight frame combined with historic Yamaha Racing influenced graphics.This bike comes with an abundance of features, including an in-depth TFT display, full LED lighting, high-performance brakes & suspension and a bunch of rider aids. This is not a bike for the faint-hearted and it takes all of the MT10s racer attributes and packs them into a retro looking outfit. The XSR900 brings a flexible but relaxed riding position and the saddle gives a "sit-in" over "sit-on" feel due to the rear hump. Want to know more about the XSR900 or see how it reviews?

The V-Strom 1050XT was made to take you on the ultimate adventures, built for any terrain and destination. One route definitely worth the trip is the Northumberland 250, known best for its rolling hills and remarkable coastlines. Take a trip with us as we follow Gordon Stuart who ventured through the Northumberland 250 on his Champion Yellow V-Strom 1050XT. Scroll down to find out what he thinks about the model and the trip... The trip Craster to Holy Islands Starting from Craster, Gordon followed the coast north past the 14th-century ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle and swiftly moved onto Bamburgh Castle. Beauty surrounded him as he rode through the ancient castles and along the distinctive coastline. After the castles, he followed the route onto Berwick and the Scottish border where you cross the stunning Holy islands. "...it is well worth the look!" Following the B6401 to England (via Carter Bar) The next stretch of road brings lots of sharp bends and very little traffic, letting you really open up that V-Strom power. Unfortunately Gordonencountered some rainfall at this point, so he adjusted the bike's traction control and Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS) ready for these conditions. "...tightening up control of the back wheel was confidence-inspiring and allowed me to enjoy the roads a bit more." Kielder Forest Drive to Bellingham Once back in England, the off-road fun began, on Kielder Forest Drive. A spectacular 12-mile drive on the unsealed forest road, from Blakehopeburnhaugh to Kielder Castle in the west. This route brings fantastic views over Northumberland and provides a fantastic off-road route to test your off-road capabilities. "...believe me the V-Strom 1050XT will surprise you, it's a very capable machine." Once Brewed to Weardale Hosting some truly spectacular biking roads and views of the open countryside - the journey from Once Brewed offers a 250m long former railway bridge from the 1800s. These roads are busier as you wind back North up to Otterburn, via Corbridge along the A68 with its hairpin turns, undulating roadsand plenty of overtaking spots, there is much to enjoy on this part of the Northumberland 250. "A full days riding was nothing short of wonderful on the 1050XT. Comfortable, powerful, and adjustable for the varying road conditions make this the perfect bike to tackle this spectacular route and others like it across the UK and Europe.

All the bikes carry the same sort of riding traits. The engines are fun but not too lively, and the bikes are light enough to throw around but without it feeling like a little toy."

Fri, 03 Jun 2022 00:00:00 BST https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/the-history-of-the-nightster Born atnight, raised with its rider... One of the most famous motorcycle lines from Harley-Davidson has to be the Sportster range. The bikes in the Sportser range offer bundles of power, low weight advantages and styling that'll turn heads wherever you ride. Let's take a look back at the Nightster and how it fits into the world renownedSportster line-up - exploring where it came from and where it is today. Scroll down for more information on the Nightster... The timeline Own the night Storming onto the scene, the Nightster took Harley fans by surprise. Demanding attention, the Nightster took a totally different visual path from the rest of the Sportster range. Swapping out some of the chrome finish for a black finish and chopping off the fenders for more of a bobber look. Representing a brand new direction for the brand, the Nightster stirred upconversations everywhere. The Nightster packed triple-digit speed with reports of it getting to107mph.From factory, riders would get 58HP and 64Nm torque, which was arguably enough for thrill-seeking cruiser riders. The model was aimed at riders yet to have grey hair and came in at around 8,000. Cut back on the size The trend for blacked out cruisers was booming and becoming more popular by the day. In 2009 Harley-Davidson released a smaller version of the Nightster with a blacked-out engine casing and a darker all-round feel. The handlebars pulled closer together and even more of a bobber stance developed, giving the riders what they were craving within this stripped-down cruiser look. Goodbye for now Although the Nightster was a key transitional trendsetter in the late 2000s and sold out as soon as they came in, Harley-Davidson discontinued the Nightster. Although this Sportster was saying goodbye, for now, the Sportster range continued for a few more years before making a remastered first appearance with the Sportster S in 2021. The return of the Nightster Harley-Davidson has brought back the Nightster for the next chapter of the Sportster legacy. This time, they packed in a huge amount of power utilising the new Revolution Max engine and kept weight to a minimum by using only lightweight components. The bike is nimble and lightweight, allowing an easier riding posture than previous versions, with midfoot controls and low rise handlebars. Bringing the bike into the future, the fuel tank has been reworked and is now located under the seat for a lower centre of gravity. Technology has been adapted around the model, to enhance its natural innovative styling and the airbox cover takes the place of where you'd usually find the fuel tank. Aiming to keep attracting younger riders, Harley-Davidson has priced this as their entry-level bike, starting at 12,995 with fantastic finance rates available.

As one of the fastest men ever around the legendary course, don't miss this key knowledge as we catch up with his comments froma recent Kawasaki interview. If you are planning on visiting the track for the racing, he has also shared some great places to watch the action! Scroll down for racing tipsand destinations for a great view ofthe course... Focus is key, every part of the track is crucial for the win... 1 - The Pit Stop One key component to every rider's race time is pit stops. Choosing to take your pit stop at the correct time could be the difference in whether you make a podium position or not. This section of the race is highly tense.It's all hands on deck and everyone on the team plays a very important role in keeping the pit stop time under one minute. Roles include changing tyres, filling up fuel, changing the rider's visor etc. 2 - Quarry Bends When it comes to getting ahead of the competition, the Quarry Bends are a crucial part. This section of the race takes place about halfway around the lap and is essential to your run following onto the Sulby Straight (the fastest part of the course). This can be a very physical part of the course as you have to lean the bike over from side to side at phenomenal speeds. 3 - Rhencullen jump Another incredibly important part of the lap is the run through Rhencullen. You'll encounter bumps and humps where you'll have to wrestle to keep your ride on the line. Getting the jump here is crucial as losing valuable lap time is quickly done - you want to get the jump exactly right in order to get ahead. 4 - Ballagarey There's a reason this part of the track has a nickname of Ballascary! It's an incredibly fast but blind corner, and you are completely flat out on the approach. With stone walls on either side of the road, there's no room for erroron this corner, so you'll need to be fully focused. 5 - The Mountain Run The mountain is one of the most iconic parts of the entire course. This section of the race has a bit of everything you could encounter, from slow corners to flat out speed straights. Brandywell is one of the key sections and the highest point of the course - entering this from Haliwoo's Rise is essential. Read more about where you can view the race from - keep scrolling down! Where can you watch from? 1 - Bray Hill Bray Hill might be one of the most popular places to watchdue to its landscape country views of bikes zooming at over 180mph. Sitting in the gardens and watching these missile-speed motorcycles is something you'll never forget. 2 - Greeba Bridge The exit of Greeba Bridge is a top contender of best places to watch the race from. If you head to Hawthorn pub, you can watch as the racers exit going down towards Gorselea and Ballacraine. 3 - Barregarrow If you have a need for speed and skill, Barregarrow is a fantastic place to watch the riders leanright over with the knees sliders in full effect. Get there early though as there's limited spaces available. 4 - Kirk Michael Spectator spots are exclusive at Kirk Michael, but Whitehouse Park is one of the best options with fantastic views throughout the entire village. Not to mention the awesome side roads you can watch from too. 5 - End of the Mountain Mile The Mountain Mile is always a special place to watch from, and at the end of it is a great place to see the bikes at incredible speeds alongside spectacular views over the island.

Fri, 27 May 2022 00:00:00 BST https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/nothing-but-nightster The all-new Nightster Giving you everything you've been asking for, the all-new Nightster reveals top-of-the-range rider aids and technology built into an entry-level Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Scroll downto see all thereasons to ride the new Harley Nightster... Key features: This bike has showstopping Harley-Davidson power with the new Revolution Max 975T engine. Packing an almighty amount of torque (95Nm) and a huge abundance of power (89HP), you'll be ready to bring the thunder wherever you go. The beauty of this engine is its immaculate powertrain delivery. You'll get rocket-like acceleration from the low RPM range, thena bank of powerfiring you further through the mid-range into the higher. Once known for being lightweight and nimble, it was crucial for Harley to keep those agile characteristics in the 2022 model. Technology in large quantitiescan bring a hefty amount of weight, so prioritising the essential modern day technology was key. Rider aids included in the newmodel amplify the ride without destroying the weight budget. This model includes ABS, Traction Control, Drag-Torque Slip Control and an LCD/Analogue TFT display. Taking direct influence from the famed Nightster throughout history, you'll see key elements that may seem familiar. Take the airbox, for example, shaped like the traditional Sportster fuel tank it not only allows for renowned Sportster style but functionality too. We also see exposed Dual Rear Shocks, aesthetically similar to the previous Sportster chassis. This wasn't about making a new model, it was about bringing a famed model into the modern world. This motorcycle is produced with lightweight materials and utilises a jawdropping ergonomic design. The fuel tank has been fitted under the rider seat, lowering the centre of gravity for a more confidence-inspiring agility. In addition to a low centre of gravity, the rider has mid-mount foot controls and a forward riding position, emphasizing the Sportster attitude. Harley-Davidson motorcycles are known for customisation and allowing riders to create something totally unique to them. With hundreds of bike accessories available, both H-D branded or the third party, the world truly becomes your oyster. Companies like Thunderbike, Rinehart and Hideya Togashi across the globe have taken the Nightster and twisted it to fit their style. Allowing the rider to become fully immersed in their Nightster riding experience, this model comes with Ride-by-Wire technology, allowing the use of specific ride modes. The ride modes available are Road, Rain and Sport - each specifically tailored to adjust the powertrain, traction control, suspension and throttle response.Giving you time to focus on the fun part, the riding.

Step-by-step guide Loosen up the axle nut The axle nut is basically the thing keeping your wheel where it is. By loosening this nut you get free movement of the tyre, allowing you to amend your chain's slack or tightness. It can depend on your motorcycle model, but usually for this task you will need a rachet and the correct socket. Undo locking nuts and adjust chain tension Now you want to undo your chain locking nuts with two wrenches of the correct size. You'll be able to tighten your chain by twisting the appropriate nut, but make sure you're measuring the slack of the chain as you go and do not over tighten it! Check wheel alignment and tighten adjustment nuts If you are happy with the chain tightness, you can now focus on aligning your wheel by either using the notches on the swing arm or a ruler -as seen in the video. Make sure both sides are equal. This is really important, to make sure you get them as even as possible. Check your chain tension again After tightening the adjustment nuts, it is key to do another check on your chain's tension before moving on to the next step. Over tightening your chain can causedamageandpotentially even snap. Be sure to check your user manual. Tighten your axle nuts Now it is time for your last task in the process, tighten your axle nuts using a torque wrench with specificationsin your motorcycleuser manual.

The Tiger 1200 GT Pro was built for the very best of road adventures, designed with fantastic comfort and breath-taking power to keep your adrenaline pumping all day long. We handed over our demo bike overto Ryan, our Aftersales Advisor, to really get to grips with this new model. Scroll down to see his review... How was the engine, power and torque? "The Tiger 1200 GT Pro is unbelievably fast. It packs an almighty kicking engine with snappy aggressive power and punchy torque energy that'll give even the experienced rider an adrenaline rush. You get six silky smooth gears and awesome functionality built-in, like the hydraulic clutch, shaft drive and quick-shifter - which combined,make thisan unfogettable riding experience. I like the simplicity of the engine and the way Triumph has mapped the power output andthe engine gives the characteristics of a twin with the muscle of a triple, which would be a blessing off-road. The fuel tank was a bonus - I foundI filled up and could quite easily forget about fuel for the remainder of the week." How was the handling, brakes and riding position? "This model is surprisingly good at handling for a larger bike. Usually large bikes like this feel a little tractor-like to move around, but this felt light and agile. Out on the road, filtering was pretty simple - the width of the model was easy to manoeuvre and you can effortlessly get through traffic safely. I also liked the seat height, a noticeable height which gave you fantastic visibility of what's ahead. I did do a little riding with my misses on the back too -she found it especially comfortable in comparison to my current ride, a Tiger 800. She liked the seat height as it let her feel more involved in her surroundings and the ride itself.She also liked the amount of grabbing rail available." What technology/features does it have and was there anything you found particularly useful? "The bike itself has quite a range of technology, one of which was the feature allowing you to change the name on the welcome message (class touch from Triumph)!I really felt that made the bike your own, the fact it welcomed you onto the saddle. The bike was packed with other premium features too like the quick shifter, dampeningand cruise control, which I suppose you come to expect from Triumph in today's top-end range. Due to riding in the U.K. I was blessed with awesome riding weather. (Igotcaught in the rain almost every time I went out!)But the heated seats and grips made this a bit more comfortable, letting me avoid those cold and wet rider blues!" What modifications would you make to this motorcycle? "Changing things on this motorcycle would be purely down to personal preference - some of the things I like, others may not - and vice versa! That being said I would add vibration resist pads or some softer foot pegs, as for me I prefer slightly lessengine shake. Due to this bike being an obvious colossal force, I feel like the exhaust note could be further enhanced... I would attach a SE Project slip-on just to amplify what's already there in my opinion. Then just for brand loyalty more than anything, I'd add some Michelin Road 6's for that added extra grip at high speeds or wet conditions." How would you rate the Tiger 1200 GT Pro overall? "Overall, the bike's a fantastic power-house ready to send you flying down the motorway. I cannot preach more about how powerful this bike is, how great it is at handling and the number of features you'll be given at your fingertips. Triumph has definitely given this bike bundles of noticeable character and it will carry the Tiger 1200 name higher than it's been before - this could well and truly be the kingpin of larger adventure motorcycles.

The bike from the factory came with brilliant technology, enhanced power and a breathtaking price point - making it the ideal model within Kawasaki's range. Take a trip down memory lane with us as we discover how far the model has come since its birth and why you should really consider this beast as your next pride and joy. Scroll down for more information... 2011 - The legend is born The Ninja 1000SX burstonto the market with not much competition from other manufacturers. Taking inspiration from the Z1000 (2010), there were some key features that riders wanted from this new model - which Kawasaki catered for. Firstly the bike had substantial power of 136hp and 110Nm of torque, enough for even the sportiest of riders. The model also showcased fully adjustable inverted forks, a 19L tank and a mixture of LCD & analogue riding displays. 2014 - Rider enhancements here we come There were a number of significant changes to the model in 2014 that we still see on the model today. Kawasaki added three-stage traction control and two power modes as standard, they enhanced braking with ABS too as an optional extra. As well as these main headline points, there were improvements made to the gears incorporating a taller sixth gear. Monoblock radial-mounted calipers were added, the rear shock was made 3% stiffer and a remote rear pre-load adjuster was utilised. This was sure to be a model they'd be keeping in their range for a long time to come. 2017 - One of a kind The third generation of the model brought some revolutionary changes too. A six-axis IMU was added allowing cornering ABS - a feature we saw more regularly on high-end sport bikes. In addition to this, Kawasaki revised the display, lengthened the windscreen and utilised KIBS (Kawasaki Intelligent ABS) which riders agreed was a smoother system. As for styling, the bike was redesigned to look a little more like a contemporary H2 and LED headlamps were added. 2020- Turning up the comfort dial At last, the birth of cruise control on this model! This remastered version featured more comforts like cruise control, a two-way quick-shifter, a slipper clutch and a custom riding mode. Electronics were reworked to full ride-by-wire with electronic throttle valves and the TFT display took another upgrade, this time including Bluetooth connectivity with a dedicated app. Comfort was everything, so a larger more comfortable seat for both rider and pillion was added and a taller four-way adjustable screen too. Kawasaki goes one deeper into the sports-tourer category here, enhancing both sport and touring features on the model. The journey continues The model is now sitting at the high end of its category with even more upgrades made to the latest version. The rider now receives a clean-mount pannier system, Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S22 tyres, KQS (Kawasaki Quick Shifter), and a new exhaust system. The list of features is endless on this model and the level of engineering brilliance is outstanding. Try the Ninja 1000SX yourself... Mon, 02 May 2022 00:00:00 BST https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/bikesafe-london-with-jazz Real advice from real riders Our Marketing Assistant,Jazz,went along to a workshop run by BikeSafe London in Bromley and had an amazing time. Jazz rides a Honda 125cc scooter and is still on L plates, but as she starts planning her journey to get her big bike licence, she did her research and discovered BikeSafe... and she's veryglad she did. Read more about her experience below... What is BikeSafe? BikeSafe is a national initiative run by the police, aiming to teach motorcyclists how to be safer on the road.BikeSafe workshops involve some classroom-based activities, as well as an observed ride with a police-graded motorcyclist who will observe and provide feedback on a rider's attitude, observations, cornering, hazard awareness and general motorcycle control.The workshops are delivered in a relaxed environment and Jazz promises that it's not as nerve-wracking as you'd think being followed on your bike by a police officer! Read Jazz's full account of her BikeSafe experience below... How did you find out about BikeSafe? "A friend of mine organised our group workshop withone of the police officers at a stand at a motorcycle show in London. They were really friendly and approachableand it was reassuringto book a workshop as a group of people who already knew each other. However its just as easy to sign up to a workshop on your own and use it as an opportunity to meet new friends and potential new riding buddies!" The day... "After a long but enjoyable ride from Maidstone to Bromley via a learner-friendly route there, we parked up and were met by the officers whovisually examined our bikes to make sure they were in a road-worthy condition. We all had to test our indicators and, rather comically, our horns, which a lot of riders struggled to find!" "We were welcomed into a beautiful building called The Warren, where we sat around a big table and met the wonderful character that is Gordy. As we filled out some paperwork, had our documents checked and enjoyed some refreshments, Gordy briefly explained to us what the day would involve. The atmosphere was very relaxed and we were all in agreement that we'd rather have shorter breaks... meaning more time on the road!" "Gordy gave us some tips on motorcycle positioning, explaining how in order to stay safe as riders, we need to make sure we are seen - and that we also take up the most advantageous road position -on bends especially, in order to gather as much information as possible about the road ahead." "We were introduced to the acronym IPSGA, which is the system of advanced riding... Information - gather it. Position - find it. Speed - control it. Gear - select it. Acceleration - apply it." "We were then shown some short clips of examples of accidents and collisions to show us just how dangerous a lapse in concentration or misjudgment can truly be. We sat and analysed them as a groupwith Matt,(another equally characterful officer), and discussed why the collisions occurred, how they could have been preventedand heard the opinion fromthe eyes of the law." "We then chose whether we wanted to pair up or have a 1:1 ride with an officer... and we headed back out to our bikes!" "After pairing up with my friend Kateand being introduced and briefed by our officer, John, we set off onto some of the most beautiful roads I have ever ridden. We were told to ride how we always do for the fairest assessment. We took turns to leadand John would pull us over to discuss his observations and feedback with us." "John said that we made fantastic students and that we had the perfect attitude for advance motorcycle training, which was a huge compliment and something that we're both looking into!" "We stopped for lunch and a leg stretch in a beautiful spot before getting backback on our bikes for even more riding time. John continued to provide invaluable feedback and said that we were absolutely nailing it!" "It gave us a lot of confidence knowing we could just ride as we normally doand not worry about filtering or overtaking if we didn't want to. Being told to forget you have a police officer behind you is actually a lot easier than you think!" We rode for what felt like miles andmiles. John asked us if we wanted more ride time or another break, and we were having so much fun that we stayed on the road. We headed back to base for about 3:30pm and met up with everyone else. They all had a blast and said theyd absolutely attend one again and consider going on to do further advanced training. Our officers completed our feedback sheets and discussed the day with us through massive grins!" "We were assessed on how well we handled: junctions, cornering, filtering, overtaking, awareness, speed, controls, signs and signals, attitude and responsibility. The feedback I received was absolutely invaluable and felt very personal, detailed and constructive. I would highly recommend all riders of all styles and all experience levels to take part in one of these workshops.Not only was it an amazing learning experience, but it has given me so much confidence and it was anabsolutely terrific day.

As day broke Black set a new lap record, highlighting the physical and mental spirit of these racers and of course, the GSX-R1000's continued performance. After a continuous 24 hours of high-pressure racing, the team took the win by a substantial one minute and 45 seconds. The result brought 63 championship points, qualifying performance and team celebrations all around. Riders Sylvain Guintoli (right), Gregg Black (centre), and Xavier Simeon (left). A word from the winners... Gregg Black "I was expected to do the start because I usually do pretty well. This year it was a bit different; I crashed heavily in the preparatory practice a few days ago where I broke my heel. In the end, I managed to get over it and ensure a good start. Then it was an incredible race, with a very strong pace from the beginning to the end. We had to push as hard as we could in every stint because we had some really strong competitors. My team mates were also very strong and the whole team did a great job." Sylvain Guintoli "This is a very different victory to 2021. The race was difficult. We needed the speed, the strategyand the whole team in the boxthat worked perfectly. Our fuel consumption was also better than our opponents and that also played an important role. We gave everything this weekendand we can be proud to go home with the trophy." Xavier Simeon "The team really did a great job on the strategy to allow us to do a maximum of laps and a minimum of pit stops. On the track, the bike showed extraordinary potential. We were able to set some incredible lap times. In fact, Gregg broke the absolute record in the race. But it was still a tough race because we had to push hard to the finish line."

Since 1936, Triumph have been adapting, updating and building on the strengths of the early single-cylinder Tiger 80 to create the beast that is today's new hard-hitting family of adventure monsters. Check out some of the bikes that give the Tiger its rich and impressive history below... 1936 TIGER 80 The solid single-cylinder The first Tiger appeared on the scene in the form of the T80. It was built as an all-rounderand this early Tiger was the bike of choice for many trials riders, even though it was never built with the intention of racing. It also became the single-cylinder workhorse favoured by many during World War II, with sales helping to recover the brand after the hit of the great depression. Photo:Yesterdays 1954 TIGER T110 The record-breaker The 1950s brought the desire for serious style, so the T110 was born in 1954. This twin-cylinder 649cc machine was tested at the International Six Day Trial, reaching top speeds of 110mph which was ground-breaking for a motorcycle at this time. This model continued to be produced until 1969, with off-road versions sold in the US with a raised exhaust. Photo: Wikipedia 1981 TIGER TR7T/TR65T TRAIL The off-road winner This knobbly toothy-tyred weapon introduced the electric start to the Tiger models. This was Triumphs answer to BMWs latest R80G/S dual-sport model, which it triumphed over in June 1981when Tony Beaumont of the Federation of Police Motor Clubs team, sponsored by British Petroleum, beat the BMW in the Rallye des Pyrnes -a tough on/off-road timed race. This simple, stripped-back, lightweight bike was built to compete and it really was a winner. Photo: Bonhams 1993 TIGER 900 The three-cylinder Steamer This bike was known by manyas the 'Steamer', a nickname distinguished by its 'steam train-like' carburetor. This Dakar Rally-type machine was tough and durable with its strong 885cc engine, as well as an advantageous and upright seat height giving the rider a safer and more enjoyable view over the top of traffic. Photo:A2motorbikes 2012 TIGER 1200 EXPLORER Bigger and better The Tiger 1200 of 2012 built on the success of the Tiger 800 of 2011, but provided a bigger engine that was capable of so much more. This Tiger debuted the 'ride-by-wire' throttle system and included cruise control, switchable ABS and traction control as standard. A full suite of accessories also became available, as well as adjustable seat-height, which was unimaginable for the T80 of the 30's.

The racing season has begun and the True Heroes Racing team are as ready as they can be, with the bikes all set in their 2022 livery. The bikes have been on a huge journey from the manufacturer, to Laguna Performance Centre, then onto the team for further adjustments and modifications. The motorcycles are now ready to go and the team have been out on the track for their free practice... so we caughtup with Phil Spencer (Founder & Team Principle) for more news on how everything is going for the team. Scroll down for the interviewand a closer look at the race bikes... The True Heroes Racing 2022 livery on the Suzuki GSXR1000 The True Heroes Racing 2022 livery on the Ducati Panigale V2 Catching up with Phil Spencer What are your hopes for the upcoming season? "As we embark on our 10th year of activity my aspiration is to make 2022 our biggest and best year for beneficiary activities. We are aiming to field the largest number of bikes we have ever attempted, with 5 core team riders at the high profile British Superbike Championships, a further 2 bikes in our Grassroots program at the North Gloucester Road Racing Club and an additional 3 linked riders under our Associate Rider program.So this is going to keep us very busy this year and also means we can offer the largest ever number of opportunities for beneficiaries from the Wounded, Injured and Sick UK Service personnel & Veterans communities, to be directly involved in all aspects of competitive motorcycle racing." Do the motorcycles meet theteam's expectations? "At this stage, the 3 new Ducati V2 Panigales look the part, but we are yet to take them out on the track. They have certainly been designed with a racing pedigree and in my opinion, show a return to the classic Ducati styling of the 90s (916/998) with a single-sided swingarm. This brings both challenges and advantages to the racing environment but takes me back to my days on the sidelines watching Carl Fogarty, Neil Hodgson and others racing around Brands Hatch in the World Superbike Championships." Are there any technical challenges you'll need to overcome for the approaching season? "Our single biggest technical challenge this year is adapting a Ducati V2 Panigale for Chris Ganley to race. Chris is a single-arm amputee who has lost his left arm above the elbow, which means we need to convert his bike so all the controls are on the single righthand handlebar. In real terms this is just the clutch lever, but because the V2 Panigale is a hydraulic clutch, we need to install a completely new hydraulic system and master cylinder to do this. If we just moved the OEM clutch master cylinder from the left to the right it would be upside down and the fluid reservoir would be trying to feed the master cylinder from underneath! Another technical challenge we face this year is an advancement in onboard data logging for our 2 Suzuki GSXR1000s. Although the AIM systems we will be using are well renowned and prolifically used, they are new to us and the concept of data logging and interpretation will be new skills our mechanics and riders will have to learn as the season goes along." The teams 10th anniversary this year is a huge achievement did you ever imagine coming this far? "In hindsight back in 2012 no.I still find it amazing to look back at where we started and where we have come. The opportunities we have offered our beneficiaries and the inspiration their stories have provided to the wider audience are outstanding. I couldnt have grown True Heroes racing to what it is today without the support of so many people; from my wife and family andthe sponsors to those involved in helping me with the day-to-day organising and running of the organisation." Where do you see True Heroes Racing in 10 years time? "Interesting question What has been achieved to date has been achieved in my spare time while I have continued to be on active service with the Royal Navy.My 32-year career in the Royal Navy will come to an end in a couple of years and the hope is we can reach a position where I can apply even more time and effort than I am currently to expand both the organisation and the opportunities it can offer. Were reaching a real crossroads in our existence and the next stage involves some serious logistical and financial challenges to overcome to underpin our continued expansion.There is still a strong desire for True Heroes Racing to become the first-ever all military team to compete in the premiere Superbike class at the British Superbike Championshipsso lets wait and see what the next few years have in store." Keep up to date with the True Heroes Racing team on social media: Sat, 23 Apr 2022 00:00:00 BST https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/the-lightweight-adventure-kingktm-390-adventure KTM set the standard for the lightweight adventure motorcycle with the KTM 390 Adventure. This motorcycle provides the rider with full adventure capability whilst being lightweight, agile and controllable. Inspiring confidence off-road, the 390 Adventure pushes you further and hey if you drop it... you can probably pick it up! We handed a KTM 390 Adventure over to Brayden our Laguna Content Lead for an in-depth look at how it rides and what he thinks of this lightweight beast. Scroll down for more information... The verdict... Ride quality "For me, the KTM 390 Adventure is obviously no stranger to thepunchysingle-cylinder character. I feel the engine gives a substantial amount of power and willingness,considering this is a smaller ride. The handling on this little whipper was great, giving me supreme mobility whilst filtering and allowingagilereflexes within gridlocked motorway traffic. The braking system on the 390 Adventure was great- the single disc filled me with confidence as it provided smootheffortless brakingevery time. In addition to these main areas, KTM has clearly focused on the suspension and technology within the ride. TheWP Apexsuspension works really nicely, making pothole bumps non-existent and highspeed wobble improbable." Functionality "The TFT display was especially cool, providing me with loads of useful information. One nice keyfeature was the gear shift indicator telling me when it was time to shift up. The fuel tank seemed tolast foreverand cost me less than 10 to fill up with E5 - what's more, is you get an 8 bar gauge making monitoring your petrol easy. Personally, I feel a lot of manufacturers make the mirrors a total afterthought on bikes, but on the 390 Adv. this is not the case. They were in a great position on the bars and wereeasily adjustableon their ball-like fixture joints." Style and Comfort "I think the design of this ride is super cool, it looks a bit like an upright wasp to me which I think is absolutely awesome. Manufacturers are hunting that 'aggressive' bike aesthetic and KTM is here making bikes that look like the mostaggressiveinsects known to man. The LED lighting was really helpful under low light and the TFT display was great because it changed contrast levels under low light, making itclearandprecisewherever you are. In regards to comfort the seat wassuper comfortable.I didn't have to adjust because of numb legs at all and the riding position was perfect, boasting an upright straight riding stance. I would also give credit to the windscreen and handguards, thewind resistance was god tier,making my highspeed travel a breeze." Features: - Liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, four-stroke 373cc engine - - EVAP system - - EU5 emission standard exhaust - - Slipper clutch - - WP APEX suspension in rear shock and front forks - - Triple clamp developed for ext. steering angle - - New 5 spoke cast robust wheels - - Continental TKC 70 tires - - DLC coated bore pistons for ext. durability - - Ride-by-wire process - - DOHC (Double Overhead Camshaft) - - Slimline exhaust silencer - In summary "The 390 Adv. was a great bike to ride and experience - KTM has done a brilliant job in giving large bike quality to this small-sized engined unit. I cannot fault the handling, brakes or power from this little whipper and would definitely ride it again. It's perfect for anyone looking to take a smaller step into adventure bike riding, radiating confidence-inspiring agility. It would also be ideal for any A2 licence commuter as it'll give you the daily business but also have something waiting for you at the weekends." "If you haven't tried this bike, I would definitely give it a go!" KTM 390 Adventure If you are seeking the perfect lightweight agile adventure motorcycle, this bike is perfect. Sat, 23 Apr 2022 00:00:00 BST https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/bolting-onto-the-track-with-the-ducati-motoe What's faster than lightning? The Ducati MotoE bike took to the track for the first time ever at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, right where the agreement with Dorna Sports was first announced back in October. Starting from the 2023 season, the Borgo Panigale motorcycle manufacturer will become the only supplier of motorcycles for the FIM Enel MotoE World Cup, the entire electric class of the MotoGP World Championship competition. Scroll down for more information... How does it perform? The electric motorcycle prototype was code-named 'V21L' and is the joint result of the Ducati Corse team and the Ducati R&D engineers, led by Roberto Can (Ducati eMobility Director) - and it was taken to the track with Michele Pirro (Professional Rider). Can evaluated the technical performance and characteristics of the motorcycle and his thoughts are summarised below. *Photo source and credit to: News Daily India Roberto Can (Ducati eMobility Director) "We are experiencing a truly extraordinary moment. I find it hard to believe it is reality and still not a dream! The first electric Ducati on the track is exceptional not only for its uniqueness but also for the type of undertaking: challenging both for its performance objectives and for its extremely short timescales. Precisely for this reason, the work of the whole team dedicated to the project has been incredible and today's result repays us for the efforts made in recent months. We are certainly not finished yet; indeed, we know that the road ahead is still very long, but in the meantime, we have laid the first important 'brick'." *Photo source and credit to: Ride Apart Meanwhile, Pirro, (Professional Rider), mentions that testing the MotoE was a great privilege as it now becomes the pinnacle of Ducati electronic performance, but a stepping stone for what's to come. Pirro states they were only using an output of "70% of performance", meaning the bike is yet to be reviewed at full effect. What's next? The underlining development challenges to overcome in the pipeline are related to the size, weight and range of the batteries. Ducati's goal is to produce a battery packed with maximum high-performance, but minimal in weight and shape. The only problem is, they're moving faster on development than technology advances can allow!

Exceeding its AAA CE rating, it also has a built-in In&motion airbag technology system. Scroll down to find out more about this amazing offer on these jackets... How does it work? The In&motion airbag system protects vital areas: the thorax, abdomen, neck and spine. The In&box is the brain of this system and is a box placed in the back of the vest. It includes the sensors and the algorithm which can detect an unrecoverable imbalance, anticipate an impact and command the airbag inflation. For each use of the system, the data collected expands each users embedded algorithm. Between the time the system detects an anomaly and the time the airbag is inflated to optimal pressure, there is only a total of 60 milliseconds. The benefit provided by the airbag is in absorbing the impact energy, distributing the shock wave and keeping the body still. Stop by today and pick up yours!

Fri, 15 Apr 2022 00:00:00 BST https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/review-of-the-2022-kawasaki-z900rs Built to be classic... Based on the original king of cool - the Kawasaki Z1, the new Z900RS has been taking the market by storm with riders worldwide now joining the retro-volution. A fantastic blend of classicand modern design combined to make something utterly breathtaking. Here at Laguna Motorcycles, we thought this ride deservedmore attention! We gave a Kawasaki Z900RS to our Parts Advisor,Reece, for a full week to allow anin-depth experienceand review. Will it be a dream bike in his eyes or just a good piece of motor marketing? Scroll down to see his review... What's the verdict? How was the engine, power and torque? "The engine is smooth andquick atthe lights as there's shed loads of torque to play with. Obviouslythere are more powerful bikes out there,but it goes when it needs to and you will not end up wanting more power.There's lots of passing power for motorways!The engine sounds pretty good even when idol,but I'm a bit of a noisy boy so I prefer a louder note - soadd a cheeky Yoshi on there and it would be golden. What I quite liked is that you could poodle around in 4th gear and it'll do what it needs to but if you wanted to give it some beans, just twist the throttle and hold on tight!" How was the handling, brakes and riding position? "The Z900RS has a great riding position.I was taking it out daily for hours at a time and didn't get any aches,pains or discomfort. There was nooverstretch on reach to the handlebarswhich I liked and it has a comfortable seat height for the average individual. In addition to the handlebars, the footpegs were in a nice position allowing me to lean where I wanted to without any stress orscraping of metal. This bike is nimble, agile and quite light. It felt a lot like a sports bike without the fairing. Personally for me - for comfort more than anything, I would swap the tyres over for some Michelin Road 5's." What technology does it have and was there anything you found useful? "The bike doesn't have lots in regards to technology but I think that's what makes it. It couldfeel like an odd combo throwing unnecessary technology onto a classic looking bike. Kawasaki has obviously tried to keep that retro flavour going through the entire model, which you can clearly feel the moment you sit in the saddle. I have more experience on older bikes, so even traction control was one step forward for me. Being able to amend that where need be was quite a treat." What modifications would you make to this motorcycle? "As I said earlier, I like a loud motorcycle so my personal preference would be to install a Yoshimura Cyclone Stainless Steel slip on. It's an exhaust that would fit the retro character of the bike whilst giving it that little more 'beast' appeal. Due to minimal fairing, I would install fork and engine protection just for peace of mind and maybe a radiator guard too. I think if I was being extra picky I'd install a tail tidy but there's nothing wrong with its current indicators - that would just be an added extra." How would you rate the Kawasaki Z900RS overall? "Right from the get-go this is a beautiful bike that performs well and carries a substantial sounding growl. The engine is ideal for any sort of rider, from the everyday commuter to new riders combined. Whoever you are you're bound to get a thrill somewhere. I personally love the style of the bike -the colours sparkle amazingly and the mixture of the analogue dial and LCD display works great. Rest assured if you often carry a pillion passenger, my partner found the seat comfortable and the pillion pegs are in an ideal place. Regarding the power of the 'RS, taking off at the lights was more than fun, in addition to the tremendous amount of overtaking power it has for the motorways. It has quite an aggressive throttle response, which in my opinion adds more character. I rode the Candy Tone Blue colour option for the week and am still working through the photos I took of it, it's gorgeous. I think this bike should sit in the 10k-13k bracket and even there it would be great value for money. All round, a fantastic motorcycle and yes I would consider getting one in the future."

Fri, 15 Apr 2022 00:00:00 BST https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/top-tips-for-off-road-adventure-riders Make adventure your new best friend... Put the helmet on, slip on the gloves and off you go. Memories that'll last a lifetime. Off-road adventures big or small are a great way to increase your skillsandconfidence and to get the most out of your machine. How many off-road adventures have you been on? Maybe you're new to off-road adventures, or are looking to learn a bit more about them. Well we've got you covered. We've collated some of the best top tips in off-road adventure riding so you can feel like a pro as soon as the ignition sparks. Are you ready? Let's go! Scroll down for more info... TOP 10 TIPS FOR OFF-ROAD ADVENTURE RIDING Number One Navigation is key Have a route in mind, know where it is you're going and how to get there. This way you'll avoid any downtime on your adventure if you get lost, trying to then find out how to get around a private property or across the other side of the river! If you don't know where you're going, look up a route -forums and social media are a good place to start. In addition to your route, if you are going off the beaten track make sure you share your proposed route with someone not on the ride and give them an estimated time of departure and arrival. Number Two Ride with a buddy Off-road riding can be great limitless fun, but it is always good to have someone with you. If you do have a spill or fall riding somewhere, trying to lift a 300kg adventure bike to sort out the problem is no easy task alone. Unless you're feelingespecially buff, it's not a good idea. Having a riding buddy with you, allows you to have support where it's needed physically. It will also allow a quick response to any emergency situation you may encounter if, for example, someone has fallen unconscious, etc. Number Three Keep your feet on the pegs and stay loose You have the freedom when riding off-road to remain sitting or ride standing, but always aim to keep both your feet on the pegs - keeping as much balance as possible within both left and right feet. You should have the balls of your feet roughly on the centre of each peg for optimum balance, keeping your knees bent and your body as relaxed as possible to avoid terrain impact or unwanted tension. Number Four Know your bike Riding off-road requires smooth and responsive power wherever you are. Make sure you keep your bike clean, lubricated and serviced, making it ready for the terrain you'll likely encounter on your journey. A big adventure machine prefers a gentle change of speed and direction, although going hard on the throttle is thrilling for some, it will bite you one day. Number Five Head up and look ahead When riding off-road it is hugely important to keep your eyes where you're going -look well ahead on the trails. It becomes second nature to look right ahead of your bike for debris, etc. but this is more dangerous than you think.Try not to get sucked into looking over the visor down at the front wheel as looking at your front wheel will not allow enough time to respond if an unpassable object gets in your way. Number Six Protect your beauty Preparation is key! If you are new to adventure bike riding off-road, you'll probably drop your bike a few times. Make sure your pride-and-joy is protected from these little falls before you set off -you'll save hundreds on cracked fairings or damaged metal. Buy yourself some engine protection or crash bars as well as wrap-around handguards to stop you from snapping levers or expensive switchgear. Number Seven Don't forget your rubber If you're keen to get off the road and it's mostly dirt, grit or sand in your upcoming terrain, investing in appropriate tyres may be a good idea. Dual-sport tyres that are 80% for on-road and 20% for off-road are going to let you down sooner or later due to the types of debris you may encounter. Findthe ideal 50/50based tyres, with bigger tread blocks which allow a more confidence-inspiring control rather than sliding all over the place. Number Eight Speed and force can be your closest ally Often you'll find resistance to your actions from the machine beneath you -sometimes feeling like it's trying to do the opposite to everything you do!This is where you'll need to think smartly and plan for upcoming terrain ahead. For example, if you are going uphill, the bike will want to slow its speed which will make getting over rocks and roots harder. For this situation, you would want to take the momentum of the previous decline to help you bounce your way to the top. Remember inclines and declines are just straights... on an angle. Number Nine Steering with your feet Assist your arms for those longer off-road ventures by steering with your footpegs too. You can practice this on straight, long trails by keeping a constant rpm and then pushing down on one side and then the other side. Feel the effect? Once you've got the hang of this you should flow smoother through the twisties, plus your arms will thank you for it. Number Ten Become mean and lean! Using your own body weight can have a dramatic difference in the overall control you feel and practicality within your movements. On the climbs you'll need to lean forward, allowing the back of the bike to move about and find friction. On descents, you'll want to stand and move toward the back of the motorcycle, taking some weight off the front wheel. Finding the ideal position for you will come with time and practice but it won't be long before you feel like a pro. Need help preparing your motorcycle?

We are continuing our True Heroes 2022 racing story series with the next step of the journey. Once the motorcycles have been collected they then have to undergo various changes to get them race-ready for the track. It is also around this section of the timeline that the riders and relating race numbers have been revealed. Scroll down to read all about this process below... A few tweaks here and there... Shedding thatroad skin The first step of the process is taking off the stock Panigale fairing. Removing this for racing fairing can decrease the weight, allow aesthetic customisation and also make the trackside modification significantly faster. Strong independent brake Brake lines are replaced for independent brake line fixtures so thateach of the callipers has its own specific brake line. This allows the rider to still have access to a singlebrake if the counterpart fails for any reason. Say goodbye to your ABS ABS is disabled and completely inhibited. However, due to racing regulations the unit is left on the bike for weight specification. Switching off the ABS allows the rider to fully immerse him or herself in the win hungry attitude. Small but necessary Other customisations to the bike are things like the removal of horns, pillion footpegs, number plates, number plate stems and other road legal requirements. These amendments decrease the weight of the bike a little bit as well. Add a little jazz On top of things being taken off the motorcycle - the team will also add certain products such as racing footpegs, race discs and callipers. These products are specifically engineered for racing and high-speed use.

This is something riders tend to put off until it's too late, where they've already started to damage internal components leading to larger repair charges. MOT A valid MOT is a legal requirement for road use of a motorcycle or vehicle.

Evidently absorbing all the edgy genes in the gene pool, she also rides motorcycles - with her current ride being the Mutt Motorcycles FSR125cc. Scroll down to find out more about Roxy's story... From burlesque to bikes From a background of aerial, burlesque and circus performing, her passion for tattoo evolved from one crazy night with a friend. A pal set her up on a tattoo machine, applied a stencil to his arm and said 'Go on then!'. From that one night, she packed up her bags and moved over to Thailand where she trained with Thai Art then later over to Sweden with Stockholm Ink. Roxy adopted the two-wheel lifestyle early on, getting her first manual bike aged 19. 'It was a Suzuki RV125, which was in pieces in my boyfriend's Dad's garage. He said he'd rebuild the engine if I did the electrics'. Although out of her depth, Roxy managed to figure it out! Road trips to showroom sitting Since her Suzuki RV125, Roxy hasn't looked back - she even squeezed in a three-week road trip through Vietnam just before lockdown. Roxy's eyes were constantly flitting around the custom motorcycle scene, finding herself sitting on the bikes at Mutt Motorcycles, in Bethnal Green. She personally finds them ideal for her size and weight and loves the custom feel with a retro-inspired twist. 'They look great, they sound great, they turn heads and they are perfect for getting me through traffic in style when I've slept through my four alarms'. It's a bike that'll make you grin every time! Roxy's Choice The FSR125cc - 4-stroke, single-cylinder, 125cc engine - - Stylish low profile shape - - Matt black with subtle Mutt detailing - - Diamond tread tyres and headlight grill - - Black 17" cast aluminium wheels & spokes - - Custom black stainless-steel exhaust with shield - - Fuel injection and air cooling - - Dry weight of 125kg - Need more info on this Mutt?

Offering the iconic Triumph triple powered performance, class-leading technology and specification at an incredibly competitive price point. Scroll down for words from Kane and the latest model specification... Let's jump right in! Handling "The handling is very similar to a Street Triple, reasonable turning circle and allows more than enough room for U-turning without having to do two or more point turns. The handling is quite nimble, allowing you to swerve if needsbe - it's smooth and great for any situation you may find yourself in on the road. Oh and the self-cancelling indicators, what a blessing!" Engine "I think the engine is great, each gear is quite well balanced and the overall riding experience is engaging. You're equipped with enough power to have fun stopping & starting from traffic lights in addition to having enough overtaking power for those longer motorway journeys." Comfort "I would say the Trident is comfortable, you could obviously go one further by adding heated grips say, or more additional comfort modifications. The seat height goes hand in hand with the bike's narrow shape giving a better neutral feeling as opposed to that sport bike lean forward or cruiser lean back position. I often have the misses riding pillion andshe seems to like it too - enough room for her and myself. The bike hasquite good vibration reduction so it feels a bit smoother for people riding on the back too." Modifications "Yep, I've done a few Triumph modifications like adding a flyscreen and a belly pan. I have also had a Zard exhaust put on. I like to hear my bike rumble so the exhaust helped make it more enjoyable for me. I also think it's added a little noticeable depth to my throttle response, it's definitely worth considering." Why the Trident 660? "I was looking into a few different bike categories at the time of purchase. My previous riding experience hasalways been sports bikes,so I had a subconscious lean towards them -however always noticed myself liking modern classics and naked bikes. I was looking at a few particular bikes, like the Suzuki GSXR600 and the Triumph Scrambler, Speed Twin and Trident (which had just been released). I was undecided as to whether go back to sports bikes until I took the Trident outona demo and realised that was the bike for me - I bought it in Saphire Black." Would you recommend the Trident 660? "I would definitely recommend the Trident 660 to new riders. It's an easy bike to get started on. Easy mode handling, substantial power and nice tech features. Also, A2 licence holders...the Triumph 660 can be restricted to 35kW without losing its character or feel." If anything, what have you got your eyes on next? "I'm pretty happy with my bike for the time being but inevitably like most riders, will eventually want to move on. I'm thinking the Speed Twin next!" Trident 660 The 660 triple engine delivers versatile performance, immaculate handling and top-end power. Producing an optimum thrill and lasting adrenaline buzz. Try it for yourself?

Mon, 21 Mar 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/10-things-to-check-this-riding-season Is that sunshine? Get your beast ready... Your motorcycle has been away all winter and finally, the first bit of March sunshine has got your adrenaline to ride pumping once more. With the warm British weather on itsway, have you checked ifyour motorcycle isready for your first ride? We've listedour TOP TEN tips for getting back on the bike this year, making sure you're safe, your bike is equipped and you have something to show off at your 2022 bike meets! Scroll down for more information. 1. Get your bike ready with an MOT/Service Getting the motorcycle out for those sunny riding days is perfect, but make sure you have a valid MOT.Now is the time to get it- this way you'll receive yearly notifications at exactly the right time before the riding season starts. A summer service could also be the best thing you ever do and your motorbike would thank you if it could. Make your bike as silky smooth as possible by getting it booked in, we'll sort out your spark plugs, oil, fluids, filters and so much more! Leaving you with not much else to do, but enjoy your ride. 2. Don't ride on damaged tyres The importance of tyre conditions cannot be overlooked. A tyre's worthiness comes down to various things such as tread depth, cracking, pressure, dry rot and excessive hardening. A motorcycle tyre's most common death is wearing.If your rubber has signs of excessive damage you should consider changing it immediately. If you need new tyres, let us know. Call us directly on 01622 681765 3. Has your battery got juice? If you haven't already, you may want to check your battery's overall health using a multimeter. This will usually give you a clear indication as to how much life is left in your battery. You want to see over 12.5 V DC at the terminals with keys off. If you've left your motorcycle in the garage all winter without regularly starting it up, leave your battery on a maintenance charger overnight. This should have you good to go by morning! 4. Keep it smooth rolling As you rotate your rear wheel, pay careful attention to your belt/drive chain and its final drive. Firstly, look for any obvious damage or chain and sprocket wear asthis would indicate it's time for replacements. Check your chain alignment with an alignment tool and test your tension with a gauge. Refer back to your user manual for specifications on these areas. Plus don't forget to double-check your chain has healthy lubrication before setting off -else you'll lose power or potentially even the chain itself! If you need assistance on the final drive, sprockets or drive chains/belts, let us know. Call us directly on 01622 681765 5. Secure your pride and joy The sun's out and you've gone out for your first ride out with your mates. You've arrived at a destination not so familiar and you don't have direct sight of your pride and joy. Don't chance it, lock your bike up with a substantial measure of security. Don't ruin your ride out this summer, lock your bike up wherever you go. We have a beyond huge range of disc locks, chains, alarms and covers for most bike models. 6. Easy access to your phone There are tons of benefits of having your mobile phone attached to your handlebars. You'll have instant access to your SATNAV, music, hands-free communication and more. With the extensive range of Ultimate Addons we stock, you'll find something that fits the style of your bike, giving you the awesome freedom to utilise your mobile. 7. Protect your noggin You may have read in our other blog (HERE), helmets are recommended for only three to five years of use before they should be replaced - due to deterioration of the protective material inside. When was the last time you changed your helmet? In today's market helmets come with multiple different price points, safety enhancements and technology innovations. Great brands like AGV, Arai, HJC, Shark, Shoei, X-Lite and more, offer fantastic features. 8. Everything but the kitchen sink... Long ride-outs or journies require more luggage room. Sometimes a simple rucksack is enough but sometimes you wish you had a boot! Rest assured, there are more storage solutions you can try - like panniers, saddlebags, tail bags and tank bags. Some riders prefer not to ride with a rucksack as they feel it affects the ride experience. So why not look into other options for luggage support onboard the bike instead! 9. The more the merrier Most activities are upgraded when you can share the experience with others. Riding can be fun at the best of times alone, but riding with five or more riders makes it a memory never to forget. There are hundreds if not thousands of motorcycle clubs at every corner of the nation, mostly accessible via social media. Each of these clubs has routes to try, social bike meetsand other activities you may be interested in. They are definitely worth a search on Facebook -If you are in the Kent area, try @KentRideouts on Facebook. 10. Treat yourself, you may as well A common addiction for motorcyclists worldwide is the craving of buying a new motorcycle. If your motorcycle isn't going full throttle for your excitement anymore then maybe it's time for a new one. This doesn't mean you have to spend tons on a brand new model, in some instances you can part-exchange your current motorcycle for substantial money off a new ride. Unless you have a strong sentimental value for your bike, it's definitely worth considering. Technology on motorcycles has evolved rapidly in the last few decades, so you may be surprised with how much you are missing out on!

With modern-day motorcycles, a charged battery is a key part of its running system. Traditionally, motorcycles used a lead-acid battery and some continue to do so, however there has been a huge development in this area. Lots of newer motorcycle models utilise a lithium-iron-phosphate cell, which adds a few bonuses to your bike that you may not have known about. Scroll down for more information... Lead-acid batteries There are three types of lead-acid batteries that exist. These consist of Flooded, AGMand Gel.* All lead-acid batteries have lead plate electrodes and a water/sulphuric acid electrolyte. When the battery discharges, the electrolyte becomes less acidic. Vice versa when the battery charges, the electrolyte becomes more acidic, releasing more oxygen and hydrogen. Lead-acid batteries are usually heavy, hold a short life span and need a longer charge time. Lithium batteries A lithium battery contains a lithium-iron-phosphate positive electrode, a carbon negative electrodeand a lithium salt/organic solvent electrolyte. Lithium motorcycle batteries sometimes have problems starting a bike when it's cold. They will display similar signs to a flat battery unless warmed up first. Don't worry, warming up a battery doesn't mean taking it out and giving it a cuddle - just leave your headlights switched on for a few minutes and try again. Lithium-acid batteries have no gas emissions, a higher power density and a quicker charge time. Plug it in and charge it up Leaving your motorcycle turned off for a long duration or leaving your lights on are just twoof the many reasons why you have a flat battery. Picking up a charger specific to your motorcycle battery could save you when you're out and about - plus they only require a small amount of space in your luggage! Remembernever to use a car battery charger and always check the voltage of charge before using any equipment - it should match your battery voltage. Buying an intelligent charger will also dissolve the anxiety of leaving a battery on charge whilst you sleep asthey ensure overcharging risks are non-existent.

Its a growing culture & we see people customising their bikes more & more now. The chop-shop back-street hot-rodbuilds of the 80's planted the seeds for customisation to grow in to what it is today.People customise their bikes for all sorts of reasons and we are seeing more and more people opt for Stage 1 and Stage 2 upgrades as well as custom paint jobs and rear-end work. We do projects with suchclass, finesse & professionalism at Harley and we're able to do more than we ever have done! What sort of builds do you do a lot of? We do a lot of Stage 2 upgrades, giving more power at the lower end for performance purposes. We also fit a lot of Air Rideswhich allow for a rear suspension spring to be controlled bya smallbutton that raises and lowers the seat. The Air Ride can provide a more comfortable ride with the aesthetics of the bike being lowered. Have you noticed a change in the demand for custom work? Yes - anda lot more recently too, especially overthe last few years. We can do more now than weve ever been able to in the past. With social mediashowcasing awesome bikes andbespoke custom work that is so easily accessible, the content is stepping up and the audience is growing. Our customers find that their bike is a lot more personal than a car, for example - andtherefore want to truly make it their own. What is the craziest thingyou've done to a bike? We did a Stage 4 upgrade and turned a 114 into a 128. Itwas so loud and powerful that it blew the gravel off the customer's driveway!If you want to set us a challenge... let us know below. Jack's favourite full custom builds THE COOLEST GOLD DIGGER FAT BOY114 "This bike is definitely the coolest job I have ever had the pleasure ofworking on. Every little detail was thought out.

True or False? - A helmet will last you forever - - A helmet is fine for use after an accident - - Helmets should fit the user snuggly and not wobble - - Helmets must carry a BSI Kitemark - A helmet will last you forever. False This is false, a helmet should be changed every 3-5 years of use, after a crash or when your helmet has been dropped. This is because the inside foam and fabric line starts to deteriorate, not only the material you see but the underlining too. Causing your helmet to be less than 80% effective. A helmet is fine for use after an accident. False Obvious to some but not everyone. If you have had an accident and your helmet looks to have only taken a small chip or scratch, you should replace your helmet anyway as you won't knowof the amount of damage on the inside - don't risk it! Helmets should fit the user snuggly and not wobble. True According to industry experts in helmet safety, a helmet should be comfortably snug around the entire wearer's head avoiding pressure points. It shouldn't have any wiggling room during the ride and it should sit somewhere between tight and secure.

We had a very exciting project in our Laguna Performance Centre workshop recently. A Kawasaki ZX-10R was undergoing various changes to make it set for the race track, ready for winning. The upgrades increased performance and bike protection, making it the ideal companion for taking on the competition and heading out onto those bends. - If you need assistance with "trackifying" your motorcycle, just give us a call on 01233 665520 - Scroll down for more information on the bike, parts and project... The calm before the storm... Before setting off we needed to order a huge stack of parts and prepare the bike for undergoing serious workshop work. We purchased various products from brands such as Akrapovic, R&G, Gilles and Pirelli. If you need assistance on parts, contact us directly on 01233 665520 or use the button below. Akrapovic Carbon Racing Exhaust This beautiful Carbon look exhaust adds power and torque to your overall force. Perfect for throttle response, durability and engine mapping. Racing engineering built for motorcycle racers. Full Track Body Fairing Increasing the aerodynamics of this machine to the max and reducing weight wherever possible, track fairing aids the performance of your motorcycle completely. R&G Protective Wear Protect your bike from crashing damage whilst keeping added weight to a minimum and keeping interferance to a minimum, R&G offer a fantastic range of products. Max Friction Tank Grips When racing or leaning on your motorcycle, you sometimes encounter slight slippage of grip. Tank Grips offer superb friction, keeping you and your machine in sync throughout the whole race. Pro Radiator Protection Guard Protect your bike from track debris and causing unneccesary damage. Don't allow your radiator to be damaged at high speeds, instead add a line of defence with a premium quality radiator guard. Max Protection Exhaust Guard Don't get caught off guard when you're focused on winning. Exhaust Guards offer great protection against track strain or wellbeing issues. Gilles Adjustable Rearsets Adjust your footpegs and foot controls for better rider comfort and improved ground clearance -these additions are durable and brilliant at fitting to the rider desired position. New Set of Race Tyres Worn tyres can often provide less traction and performance in turns around the track. It's vital to change your tyres whenever possible but make sure they're warm if you're already on the track! Raising the bar, the dyno bar... Increasing the performance of this motorcycle was crucial, adding overall torque and horsepower whilst reducing weight & refining aerodynamics. Adding the Akrapovic exhaust alone added 12.1kW of power and 14.2Nm of torque whilst reducing weight by 3.9kg. *These are estimates and for visual purposes only, for accurate results please dyno test. Estimate Improvement Results Making various improvements will add HP and torque to your motorcycle. Adding the right compound tyres can add as much as 8hp to your overall results. The diamond has now been cut... We now conclude our project and the Kawasaki ZX-10R is now ready for the track. It has undergone testing and preparations in order to be fit for use of the customer. If you need assistance on parts, contact us directly on 01233 665520 or use the button below.

The Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) course is designed to give new riders an introduction to motorcycling. It is designed to provide you with all the skills you need in order to stay safe on the road.

Scroll down to see the steps of the day and more... What will I need on the day? Although most schools can provide your protective wear, you may want to ring them before attendance to double-check.Safety is hugely important for you and the other people on the road. You must be wearing the following to help keep yourself protected in accidents. Don't become one of the horror stories youhear about becasue you were not wearing all the right gear. Helmet You are required by law to wear a helmet that complies with BS 6658:1985. If you do not have one of these then your Honda Approved Training School will be able to provide you with one for the day. Jacket Ideally warm, waterproof and provide good abrasion protection. A warm jacket is important for keeping your body relaxed and not tensed up -a tenserider will make tense decisions. Gloves Good quality leather (or material) gloves should be worn and they should cover your wrists too. The natural instinct for people falling off a bike is putting their hands down, so make sure you have protection in case this happens. Boots A pair of sturdy boots which cover the ankles and provide a strong under grip is a good choice. Wearing a pair of trainers, no matter how bulky they may look will not do the trick. Avoid wearing steel-toe-capped boots as these are not advised for riding. Trousers Tough jeans, riding trousers or leathers are great for the bottom half of your body. Do not mount a motorcycle in shorts if you want to keep your legs. You'll also need: UK Driving Licence (at least a provisional) Glasses if needed for sight The 5 Steps of the Day Eyesight and Intro After doing initial driving licence checks you take a quick eyesight check and your instructor will go through the course with you. Your instructor will give you some hints and tips about the clothing that you will get the most protection with. On-Site Training After being introduced to the controls on the motorcycle, some time is allocated for you to get used to the weight and feel. The instructor will also go through bike checks you can carry out regularly. On-Site Riding This is where you can get hands-on, riding your motorcycle around the instructor school's premises. You'll be guided through some manoeuvres like pulling away, braking, control and necessary observations or lifesaverglances. On-Road Training Before setting off on the road you'll be given a road briefing. This consists of what is expected from you on the ride. When the instructor feels you are safe to do so, they will bring you onto the road. On-Road Riding The road ride lasts around two hours and will take you across different junctions, roads and roundabouts, making sure you understand everything. You will be asked to complete a U-turn and an emergency stop during this part of the CBT. What can you ride now? Once you've completed your Compulsory Basic Training you will be awarded a certificate of completion (DL196). Depending on your age, you'll be able to ride in particular vehicles. I'm 16 years old Moped (Up to 50cc) With L plates attached. Max speed of 28mph No riding on motorways No riding with a pillion I'm 17or older Moped or up to 125cc Power output up to 11kW With L plates attached Max speed of 60mph No riding on motorways No riding with a pillion What comes next? Now you have completed your CBT you need to pass a motorcycle theory test and practical test within 2 years, or your CBT will expire. There are a few different options of licence available. You will take the same test for each of the licences, however riding different sized motorcycles. The higher the level of licence category, the wider choice of motorcycles you will have and the older you will need to be.

She continued to show a brave face and fight the disease during her treatment which involved various procedures such as Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy and a Mastectomy. While fighting this life-threatening disease she made it clearjust how strong of a woman she was as she continued to be upbeat around her family and friends. Jack mentions that had she not have lost her hair, you would have never known. As she concluded her treatment it was confirmed that she had beaten it. Unfortunately, after nearly five years inremission and as things were returning to what seemed like normality - Jack's mother was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer, which had spread throughout her body. The doctors this time informed the family that the cancer was treatable but incurable. Nevertheless, this beyond inspirational woman has taken it on again, with the same strength and bravery she showed all those years ago. Every donation means the world - and Jack sends his appreciation in advance. - DONATE HERE - Cancer Research UK Cancer Research UK is a cancer research and awareness charity in the United Kingdom and the Isle of Man, formed in 2002.

Check out the highlights from the global launch event announcingthe new models for 2022... THE NEW SPORT TOURING RANGE Capable of anything from the sweeping hillsides to the racetrack. Harley are taking their first step in to a performance-leading grand American touring production line with their new ST models. With their Softail frames, these bikes are designed to provide power and performance. The removal of the two-up seat means that therell be no wasted space or extra weight for those who always ride solo. These machines will be faster, nimbler and have a better lean-angle than ever before. For the first time ever, Harley have placed CVO-level powertrain in a non-CVO model. The way in which the 117 powertrain and the Heavy Breather air cleaner are tuned with the exhaust makes these ST models an exceptional performance bagger. These bikes are ready to tackle anything straight out of the crate. However, for those with big performance-first dreams, add-ons and upgrades are available. Its Harley-Davidson theres always more. 2022 Road Glide ST 2022 Street Glide ST 2022 Low Rider ST The perfect combination of performance and touring. The perfect combination of performance and touring. The brand new 2022 Low Rider S retains the bold black and bronze colour scheme but introduces a gorgeous grey paint to the family. The 114 engine has been bumped up to a 117, giving these machines 125 foot-pounds of torque. Thats almost 169.5 Newton-metres, which the new exhaust system compliments beautifully. Improved lean-angle has been achieved by raising the bike just enough to improve its road agility. This will also make the rider feel much more like they are on the bike, rather than in it. You can also experience greater gauge visibility with the improved upward position, away from the tank. Inspired by FXR and FXRT models of the past, the new Low Rider design has evolved in to something spectacular with throwback features of previous icons, but modern fairing for the ultimate look. Direct throwbacks such as the side ducts alongside the headlight - taken from the 80s FXRT model, have been modernised for a more aerodynamic form whilst still keeping its iconic shape. 2022 Low Rider S THE NEW CVO MODELS The Road Glideis evolving, injected with the brightest and boldest colours yet.

Thu, 20 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/words-from-the-workshop-with-dean Wordsfrom the Workshop... ...with Dean We asked our experienced motorcycle technician, Dean, a few questions about previous custom jobs he's worked on. He mentions specific parts and upgrades that are growing in popularity right now,as well ashis favourite bikes to work on. Dean also told us a few stories about some wild ideas that customers have had in the past where the team at Maidstone Harley-Davidsonreally had to come together to make them happen! Read on for these awesome stories... What is your favourite bike to work on? "Sportster motorcyclesare really easy and fun to do stuff to. Customers like to opt for things such as a rear fender upgrade and adding drag bars. Older Sportstermodels are great really because we can go crazy with them, and that's one of their most attractive selling points." What custom work do you find most interesting to undertake? "I find anycustom work interesting, but it's not without its challenges.We do a variety of custom work here at Maidstone Harley, including full custom builds, accessorised builds, and performance upgrades. Sometimes its straightforward, but occasionally we have to adapt to the fact that parts aren't made for the specific bike we're working on. I do really enjoy starting with a basic bike and creating something totally new and different with it though. We recently built a Fatboy with real Gold Flake incorporated into the paintwork!" What is the most satisfying part of a custom job? "Seeing the bike finished and complete in its full glory is so satisfying and makes all the hard work worth it. The look on the customer's face when they see it for the first time, geared up and ready to ride it home is just amazing." Dean's favourite custom jobs... BOBBY BUBBLE "The paint scheme we ended up going with on this one was so different. Blacking out the chrome was a good move. It ended up looking so smart with the rear end chopped down and the single-seat customisation. We pretty much changed everything on that bike. A customer actually saw Bobby Bubble on our website and wanted a replica of the bike itself, just not with the unique bubbles." FAT BOY STEALTH "The minimalism and presence of this custom build is something that you don't see on many of our bikes. The idea of it being stealthy would make it seem like we wanted it to fade into the background... but that is definitely not the case. The hints of red just really made it pop, as did the addition of Air Ride suspension at the click of a button." What are you working on at the moment? "We've just bought a bike that's in a bit of a sorry state, so we plan on giving it a brand new life. We don't quite know what we're going to do with it yet... so stay tuned for that one.

For performance, previous owners gave this beauty a stage 1 tune, chain conversion, a larger fuel tank and uprated shocks. Adjustments for comfort include T-bars and a solo seat. Aesthetic decisions have also been made in the form of speedo relocation, club-style fairing, the addition of a chin spoiler, a side number plate, mini front indicators and more. This bike certainly is unique, and it is ready and waiting for you to write your own chapter of its story. *THIS BIKE IS NOW SOLD* XL 1200 LOW SPORTSTER Model year: 2007 Mileage: 13,953 Engine: 1200cc Colour: Bronze Price: 6,495 An iconic member of the stunning Sportster family, this 105th anniversary model from 2007 is a gorgeous example of the 1200 Low model.

Have you found your hidden gem? Scroll down for more information More bang for your buck... Panniers and a topbox Lots of people add pannier luggage boxes and topboxes to their rides to make a better touring custom. These not only hold extra luggage you may be carrying,but they can also offer protection againstcrashes too -that's a win-win! Heated grips You may not think heated grips is much of an upgrade, but to add heated grips to your bike you need compatible handlebars, a battery and you must also paylabour costs. Sofinding them on a used vehicle means you can keep your hands toasty for less. Aftermarket exhaust systems and slip-ons Being quite a normal part of customising your bike, riders tend to change the exhaust system or slip-on muffler. You often see used motorcycles with big brand names such as Akrapovic, Lextek and Black Widow.

The Street Bob is the perfect mix of simplistic design and bobber aesthetics, essentially you have a motor, two wheels, fuel tank and a set of handlebars - it was built to be basic. The Street Bob is a motorcycle that allows you to completely immerse yourself within a ride, you become one withyour every surrounding. Due to it being so simplistic, the rider can experience a pure ride, with no added extras or distractions. Not long after World War 2, riders would break apart stock motorcycles and slowly remove all the parts that weren't riding essential, creating the genre of the bobber motorcycle. Following that in the 60s, the surge in motorcycle customisation rocketed sky-high. People weren't only chopping down their motorbikes, they were adding parts too and making stock bikes individual.

Unless youve had your eyes set on a particular bike brand or model, it can be a bit of a minefield. Sowe have put together a quick and easy guide for pointers to look out for when buying your first bike, new or used. Bigger isnt always better. Even if you have passed your A licence test, some people prefer smaller engines for several reasons. Keep in mind, many brands make smaller engine models that look like the larger ones so if its an aesthetic choice, dont be swayed. Another bonus is that smaller bikes provide better fuel efficiency and in most cases, lower insurance premiums. Okay, you may not be winning any races with bigger bikes - but you'll probably pull off from the traffic lights much faster due to your mass to power ratio! What do you use your bike for? Buying a bike suitable for where you will be riding is a good idea. Do you live in a city where traffic is usually consistent and takeaway drivers are everywhere? If so, a cruiser with wider handlebars is probably not your ideal style as youll find yourself sat in traffic with the cars. The same is true for a more rural rider who commutes home every day - if your route home is shared with big muddy tractors, then you may need a bike with more suitable tyres. What will you be carrying on your vehicle? An electrician lugging a pannier full of tools will likely require very different things on their bike compared to a journalist with an iPhone in his or her pocket. Both feet flat on the ground Your back and shoulders will thank you for pre-planning this one. Consider your body shape and size before spending. If you are looking for a small bike, 125cc motorcycles are, as a rule, small. With less engine under the tank, the whole vehicle tends to be a comparable size. But if you are particularly tall, you may need something with a higher saddle. Be sure you double-check the shape and size of a bike before investing, includingsaddle heights, bike lengths and bike weight. Like a bike being too short, certain bikes are more suited to a less height-blessed individual. Nothing beats sitting on bikes and showrooms are your best friend at this point. Try each style and see what your ideal one is as there are quite a few different shaped bike styles. What do you fancy? There are hundreds of practical reasons to get a motorcycle. And although you can read guides and listen to reviews on models, it all boils down to your own personaltaste and preference. The more you like it, the more you will ride it. The more you ride it, the better you will become. At the end of the day, you are the one riding it. If you cant stop thinking about the bike that may be a little uncomfortable or a little too fast, so be it. Find the style you love and hunt down the motorcycle that revs your engine. If you still need help choosing your first motorcycle, stop by to see us when were open or give us a call on 01622 681765. Here at Laguna Maidstone, we hold numerous brands, multiple styles, and various sizes, all with you in mind.Plus our friendly team are very happy to help you find the bike thats right for you.

Harley-Davidson has produced millions of motorbikes, perhaps none as versatile or more popular as the Sportster models. In 1957, the Harley-Davidson Sportster became known as one of the worlds first ever superbikes. If you read up on Harley history, the name Sportster returns numerous times over their decades of operation. Keep scrolling down to find out aboutthe history of the Sportsterand where we are today. The 1950s - Contenders for the British This motorcycle dynamo was in full effect, taking on competition from Great BritishTriumphs, Nortons and BSAs, which were all becoming increasingly popular. Harley-Davidson releasedthe XL Ironhead, (XL meaning extra lightweight), offering a sleek design and exciting engine capabilities. Inspired by Harley-Davidson motorcycle'simpressive flat track racing history, the earlier Sportster models featured the gear-shifter on the right side, with the rear brake on the left. Photo from Motorcycle Classics The 1960s - Customisable by Nature By the mid-60s, Sportster modelshad become very popular in the motorcycling world and were almost always customised. The overall lightweight characteristic made these models ideal to transform them into a chopper or bobber style custom bikes. However motorcycling in the 60s was not always portrayed in a positive light, so during this time advertisements were consistently presenting the XLCH in a clean and positive manner. 1970s - The King of the Pack Kicking off the decade in 1970, a Sportster motor sets a new land speed record, totalling a whopping 265mp/h. The Sportster becomes known amongst hundreds of racing communities worldwide. This led to the Sportster becoming king, the highest produced model from the Harley-Davidsonfleet in 1970. By 1972 the Sportster was taking over. Harley now ramped up the power when they upgraded its displacement from 883cc to 1000cc. Also, during the 70s, stunt rider Evil Knievel thrilled audiences around the world with his fantastic aerial motorbike launches over various objects. For many years the rider was using a XR-750, not perhaps first known as a Sportster, however it was later re-introduced as a street-legal Sportster called the XR-1000. Photo from The Sportster Chronicles 1980s - Goodbye to the Kick-Starters Kick-starters were replaced with electric starters on all Sportster models from 1980, meaning you didnt have to ruin your hairdo before riding off. The XLX61 model was introduced to the public in 1983 and to accommodate the larger battery and electric starter, the frame was kicked back just above the swingarm pivot - the swingarm was then extended accordingly. Harley-Davidson side-mounted the oil tank on the left and this allowed room for the battery and starter. The Sportster Hugger then burst onto the scene in 1988. Its smaller size and weight was designed to attract beginners or female riders. Essentially it was the XLH 883 model with a lowered rear suspension, different seats, handlebars, and shocks. The 1990s - Taking it up a gear Kicking off this decade the five-speed transmission arrives. Then in 1993, we say goodbye to the chain drive on Sportsterand hello to the belt drive. In addition to these changes, we see various electrical system upgrades on the Sportster line too. Photo from Motorcycle Daily The 2000s - Getting the cool factor Entering the 21stcentury we see the immensely popular model, the XR1200 with its edgy exterior design and chrome work. With this model came many sub-models, generating huge appeal todifferent style riders and as the years rolled on so did the offerings: the 883, 1200, 48 and the roadster. The Modern-Day, Sportster S The year 2021, marks the first of a new era for Harley-Davidson. Approaching things differently entirely but keeping some of that Sportster flavour the public strongly desire, like the tail sectionfrom the XR-750 andthe fat front wheelfrom the Forty-Eight. A new Sportster book is now open with the release of the new Sportster S model, offering the new Revolution Max motor and modern styling. Low in height and fitted with high mount exhausts the Sportster S stands out from the crowd. Equipped with technology ahead of its time, the Sportster S incorporates corrosion-resistant metalwork and a 4 colour display with built-in satellite navigation and media software.

This yearour good friend, Peter Spowage, has kindly shared his Great Escape replica motorcycle with us to showcase in ourRemembrance Day window display. He tookthis bike on an amazing journey throughout Europeto support the Help for Heroes charity & theRoyal British Legioncharity. You can find out all about his epic trip which paid tribute to the lives of the men who inspired the famous wartime film, The Great Escape. He also shared his dad's perfectly kept RAF tunic, which really is something special to see. Stop by to our Hart Street store to check out our display andSCROLL DOWNto find out more about Peter's "Great Escape 2" trip and his heroic father,Flight Lieutenant W. F. Spowage DFC. Great Escape 2 In 2011, our good friend Peter, took to the road on a motorcycle trip he had organised to raise money for the Help for Heroes& theRoyal British Legioncharities. But this wasnt just any trip. It was a special and highly emotional trip he took with a fantastic team of military men, including men from the RAF and Full Service Personnel, which took them 3,500 miles around Europe, paying tribute to the lives of the men who inspired the famous wartime film, the Great Escape. This trip was personal for all riders for different reasons, and membersof the team included the last ever prisoner of war from the RAF, who was taken prisoner in Iraq by Saddam Hussein - and Colin Kirby Green, son of Squadron Leader, Thomas Kirby Green, who was caught and murdered by the Gestapo during the Great Escape. When Peter told us here at Laguna Motorcycles about this trip, we thought it was a fantastic idea. We provided two custom bikes... a Steve McQueen Great Escape replica bike which you can see Peter's son (David) posing as Steve McQueen did in the photos above, licence plate 'WWII POW'! ...and a customTriumph T100 model, named GE2, (Great Escape 2), whichfeaturedanother licence plate, 'GE02 POW', which can also be seen in the photos above. (Peter now owns and still rides the GE2 bike today!) We also providedseveral Triumph Bonneville bikes which were similar to the one ridden by Steve McQueen in the famous film, The Great Escape. The team began their journey at Biggin Hill and they went straight to Dover to then follow the Operation Market Garden route from the Belgian border to Arnhem in Holland. They stopped off at Barth on the Baltic coast of Germany where there was a prisoner of war camp, then went on to Berlin and thenPoland -where the Great Escape took place. The group went to Colditz Castle near Leipzig in Germany where another infamous POW camp was located,then on to Ostrava in Czechoslovakia - the place where Colins father was last alive. It was a truly emotional part of the journey as Colin met local children who came to lay flowers where his father died each year, to remember his dad, which he wasnt aware of. Following this, the teamrode on to Berchtesgaden - Hitlers Eagle's Nest, and then on to the field near Fssen - right on the Germany/Austrian border where Steve McQueen does his famous motorcycle jump! The team then crossed over to Italy to the Stelvio Pass, then travelled through Switzerland to Southern Germany. Throughout the entire 3-week journey the team stayed at various British Army & RAF bases and met many amazing military people and motorcyclists along the way. It was a journey of a lifetime. A highly emotional trip for a fantastic cause, which allowed the team to established many new relationships and lifelong friends. They raised an incredible 17,000 for theHelp for Heroescharity & theRoyal British Legioncharity. What a trip... one which we know Peter would love to do again! RAFTunic Peter also lent us his dad's stunning RAF jacket, which has pride of place in our store window with his Great Escape replica bike. Peter's dad was Flight LieutenantW. F. Spowage DFC from 100 Squadron, and he can be seenpictured on the front of his aeroplane, Lancaster PA221, named 'Vergeltungswaffe', in 1944 in the photoabove. He was just 19 years old when he joined the RAF in 1940 and went to Canada to do his training. He became a flight instructor and trained SOE pilots who dropped spies into France! Following this he becamea Mosquito Pilot on photo reconnaissance, flying with just a camera - no gun... so he relied purely on speed and skill to fly andsurvive. In 1944 he then joined the Bomber Command, joining 100 Squadron who had crew but no pilot. He named his plane 'Vergeltungswaffe' - after the V2 German designed rocket, which Hitler called his vengeance weapon! It was the only German named aircraft in the RAF bomber command. Peter remained in touch with all of the crew members until none remained.

Thu, 04 Nov 2021 00:00:00 GMT https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/cold-weather-riding-and-how-to-stay-warm The colder riding season is on its way!Some of you may be pleased about this, others may not either way, winter is comingand we wanted to share some helpful advice on staying warm during the cold season. Starting from the bottom layer As your body gets colderit restricts warm blood flow from your hands and feet to maintain heat in your core. By simply keeping your core temperature nice and toasty, the rest will follow. Easy ways to achievethis are withthermal base layers -quality thermal products from Dainese, Knox and Rukka are a great place to start. If your hands still endup red and cold when getting off your motorcycle, try inner and under gloves -they can work a treat! Turn up the temperature In most cases very simple to install and relatively affordableheated clothing can plug straight into the battery of your motorcycle and provide substantial resistance against the cold elements. Make sure to check your motorbikes additional electrical capacity before you start purchasing heated gear not all bikes can power these products properly. Products you can buy with heated features include items such as a heated vest, gloves, insolesand leggings watch out for better quality brands like Keis and Oxford Products. In addition to heated clothing, waterproof gear is another great way to stay warm during those chilly rides. They not only act as a natural windbreaker, guarding you against the riding breeze, but also keep you dry! Cover your head Products such as thermal insulated snoods or balaclavas do a great job of keeping your neck and head nice and warm. Your neck is an area often forgotten about when layering up, therefore exposed to chill down your collar, chest, and body. No more frozen fingers If you have never experienced heated grips, then be prepared for your life to change. Providing you with a substantially more comfortable handlebar to hold, they produce heat from within your closed grasp, which progressesaround your fingers. Look out for great brands such as R&G, Oxford Products or motorcycle brands which are manufactured to ensure long-lasting quality. Like heated clothing,before purchasing make surethat your motorcycle can power these items safely. Goodbye cold winds In addition to cold temperature, a key part of why riders feel so cold is the wind chill. The wind can decrease your overall body temperature by masses; therefore, it can be a good idea to get some wind protection. Grip guards, bar protectors and fly screens can all be a fantastic way of navigating wind away from you. These accessories arent always universal products, so do be sure to check compatibility with your bike model to avoid disappointment. If you are looking for any of the products listed above, Laguna Direct has a huge range of products ready to keep you warm.

Thu, 21 Oct 2021 00:00:00 BST https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/black-history-month5-inspirational-individuals October marks Black History Month (BHM), a fantastic celebration growing annually across the globe. BHM not only gives recognition to those in history that did not receive full credit for their accomplishments or achievements, BHM also acknowledges current role models making a huge impact in our society today. In honour of BHM, we wanted to share with you some of the inspirational black motorcyclists you should know about, who were pioneers in the motorcycle industry in some respect due to their brilliant achievements. William B. Wild Bill Johnson Wild Bill was born in the 1890s in Maryland and was best known within his hometown as the guy who had a way with machines. Johnson was the first African American to join the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) and to be granted a licence to race. Over the years of racing, he became well known in the industry for securing many victories in hill climb racing. Wild Bill was also the first African American owner of a Harley-Davidson dealership. Through converting an old blacksmith workshop, he formed Johnsons Harley-Davidson, a dealership that drew customers far and wide for over 60 years. That little blacksmith shop was immensely popular to riders internationally until his 80s when he passed away in 1985. William B Johnson - Image 1* William B Johnson - Image 2* Sugar Bear If youve ever seen a chopper with extended handlebars which look longer than physically possible, you have Sugar Bear to thank for that. In the early 1970s, Bear began pushing the boundaries of what society had seen before on motorcycles. Experimenting with extended springer front ends on choppers he was building, he ultimately engineered them with manoeuvrability and turning circles much better than anyone elses. Dominantly used for street motorcycles rather than show motorcycles, the front solid springer made the front more extended than most choppers - which is why it stood out among the market. Instead of releasing them on mass production, Sugar Bear relied on word of mouth, custom to every motorcycle. Sugar Bear Springer - Image 1* Sugar Bear Springer - Image 2* Bessie Stringfield Born in Jamaica and raised in Boston USA, Bessie Stringfield started riding as a teenager in the 1930s, and soon became the first woman to ride solo across the United States. In those times, the equality rights we know today were almost non-existent. There was a clear understanding of what was expected from those who were male and those who were female. Furthermore, those who were of white ethnicities and those who were from black ethnicities. Bessie Stringfield dismissed the notion that nice girls didnt go around riding motorcycles and opened the throttle anyway. Working as a stunt rider in carnivals, and eventually a messenger for the army, Stringfield crossed the country another 8 times. Riding all her life, on a list of more than two dozen Harley bikes, she continued to ride into her 80s when she passed away in 1993. Bessie Stringheart - Image 1* Bessie Stringheart - Image 2* Ben Hardy The general public taking almost 40 years to discover the true mastermind behind the bikes in the film Easy Rider (1969), Ben Hardy for quite some time did not get the credit he deserved. Known throughout Los Angeles motorcycle clubs and communities he had a history in bike design and custom motorcycle innovation. He was responsible for what some consider the most famous motorcycle in the world, the Captain America bike. Choppers were already immensely popular in the late 60s when the movie rolled out the Captain America bike introduced choppers to the general public across the globe and refined the term. Hardy ran a small shop out of Los Angeles and had been engineering, building and customising bikes for years when Cliff Vaughs (Filmmaker) came to him with his vision for cinematic motorcycles. Together they chopped up a few ex-police motorcycles and in just a few weeks made a pair of world-famous bikes, which remain iconic today. Ben Hardy - Image 1* Ben Hardy - Image 2* Tommy Tombo Bolton Tommy Bolton was a top-level drag racer, and bike builder, the firstAfrican American to go over 200mph in the quatermile on a bike in 1990. Growing up in Los Angeles he knew all the big names of his time Vance Hines, Russel Collins, he eventually ended up racing against them all by the age of 19. During his career, he stacked up 25 major titles before he stopped to concentrate on tuning the bikes and building custom rides. Bolton is even now taking on new challenges in his bike development. Amongst COVID lockdown winter of 2020-21, he worked closely with his team to build his own turbo Suzuki Hayabusa, while at the same time building two new turbo Hayabusa wheelie bar bikes for the Lottie Brothers.

The T120 was the first-ever Bonneville model, created by Triumph in 1959, and since the creation of this magnificent model, the Bonneville has gone through many different processes to become the models we see today. 1959 Originally taking its name from a 1955 speed record - based in the Bonneville Salt Flats, a Triumph-powered streamliner reached 193.3mph.The "Bonnie" didn't stop there, getting recognition as the highest known performance motorcycle in the world to date in 1959. 1964 In 1964, Triumph unveiled a brand new model at the Earl's Court Show. This model was the limited edition 650cc Bonneville Thruxton, a factory-modified Bonnie racer. Although slightly more expensive this Bonneville had pretty heavy modifications including valve gear tweaks & lubrication system, revised steering geometry and fork damping, dropped handlebars,and a racing seat. When buying this model, you were buying a piece of history. 1969 Following other tweaks and tunes throughout the years, the Bonneville receiveda major makeover in 1969. This makeover included upgrades such as improved carburation, smoother power delivery, a new tank badge, altered seat units and a silver colour scheme. Progression for the model didn't stop there as they then went on to incorporate a new mechanical design, doubling the bike's frame as an oil tank in 1971. Due to the model becoming a timeless piece, Triumph has kept the Bonneville among its range for decades. Although the original T120 model is still available, Triumph has released numerous other Bonneville spinoff models like the Bobber, Scrambler 1200, Speed Twin, Thruxton, Street Scrambler and the 900ccBonneville T100. Bonneville T120 Black The definitive British motorcycle icon takes its torque-rich 1200cc twin performance, sophisticated setup and beautiful Bonneville DNA and significantly upgrades it for 2021. Enhanced performance, handling and technology, timeless Bonneville design DNA: The definitive British motorcycle icon, beautifully evolved.

Tim kindlydocumented his experienceof renting aHarleyfrom us,PLUS, as a result of his experience, we've created a turn-by-turn recommended ride route throughSussex for those of you who fancy riding Tim's route,on your own bike or on one of our Harley-Davidson authorized rentals- for which 2022 bookings are now open!... "I needed a good reason to get a friend back on a bike -and what better way than to book out a few Harley's for the day, riding around with a couple of buddies, enjoying our amazing country, (and its varying weather), while having a fantastic time. I had never ridden a Harley before, neither had one of the other riders, Adam, but our mutual friend, Andy,who we had organised the day for was a Harley fan and has always been on two wheels from as early as he can remember - but has had a few years off for various reasons. Anyway...we thought it was about time he scratched that itch again!" "We took out a mix of bikes including a Heritage Classic, a Street Bob with a very nice sounding Vance and Hines exhaust and a Fat Boy which looked and sounded awesome. We rocked up at the dealership andSarah sorted out the paperwork as quickly as possible to get us out on the bikes. Shedid a walkaround of the bikes with us and got us on the road... at which point the heavens opened!The forecast suggested it might miss us on our planned route, but sadlynot! This was biblical-level rain...roads turned to rivers, etc. It may have literally dampenedeverything we were wearing, but not our spirits as we headed towards our first stop and breakfast in Rye. Rye is a lovely quiet coastal town and regularly host to many bike groups as they stop for a brew and a bite to eat whilst out enjoying the twists and turns of some great roads on the south coast of Kent and Sussex. However because of the weather it was just three Harley's roaring into town so far onthat day, but we did our best to fill the town with the sound of bikes!We stopped in the harbour for a fry up, tea and a warmup. Once warm again, and after eaatingour own weight in breakfast, we were off again towards Hastings and beyond." "We passed through Hastings and headed inland to go around Bexhill and decided to stop for a coffee in Battle, a quiet little placeuntil we arrived anyway. We parked up, hopped off the bikes, had a little photo shoot and chat about the bikes then grabbed a coffee. We had just walked back to the bikes when Zeus decided to unleash more rain of biblical proportions, but we managed to find somewhere to hide and enjoyed people watching as they ran around trying to stay dry. Eventuallythe sun put his hat on and came out to play for the rest of the day. We took a roundabout route to Beachy Head, did the touristy thing for a bit, took some more photos and talked about the bikes some more before taking a rambling route back to Maidstone through the High Weald Area of Natural Beauty. It was a fantastic day, we all enjoyed the bikes immensely and it is fair to say that there is nothing quite like riding a Harley. The day was also a definite success in tempting Andy back onto a bike, so win win!" Tim's verdict... Check out the full details of Tim's ride route (including a map!) via the button below!

Tue, 07 Sep 2021 00:00:00 BST https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/chopping-off-the-lockdown-locks Our very own Chris Jones is chopping his Lockdown Locks off for Little Princess Trust! Our very own Chris Jones, Sales Advisor at Honda Maidstone is cutting off over 12 inches of his hair and donating it to children suffering from cancer and other conditions via The Little Princess Trust. His goal is to spread the word about the charity and everything they do, whilst helping them do incredible work. As this is such a fantastic effort for such a great cause we wanted to share Chris story! What inspired you to donate your hair? Its better being put to good use than on a barbershop floor! I have always had lots of friends who rocked long hair, from skaters to goths and now friends in the biker community. Over lockdown, a few of my friends have been growing their hair out to then donate it to this fantastic charity. I thought Id take a leaf out of their books and give it a go myself, to hopefully use my hair for the greater good. After finding out about The Little Princess Trust, I noticed that hair is something society generally take for granted and moan about having to comb knots out of all the time! For thousands of children and young people internationally, hair loss due to cancer and associated treatment is devastating. It only exacerbates the battle with their illness and treatment. So I wanted to do my bit to help. The charity doesnt only accept hair donations to provide wigs, they also support fund research into the causes of cancer which we can hope in the long run to help eradicate the disease. What is your goal? My main aim is to raise awareness for this great charity. The Little Princess Trust accepts all hair donations that are longer than 7 inches, but they have a greater need for more than 12 inches. The last time I measured my hair a few months ago I had 12 inches and counting, so I feel I will be ready to donate soon. (On a side note, my other half also wants me to cut it ASAP so that I have a good 2 years to grow it back before our wedding, if shes not a fan of the lack of locks!) I think we can all agree in our everyday lives, we can focus on the negative things. Not taking the time to appreciate the positive things that we take for granted. I feel that if we all took a moment to try and make someone elses life that little bit easier, then we would be shaping a better world. Even if youre doing something as trivial as cutting your hair off and donating it to a good cause. In terms of goals, my main aim is to raise awareness of this great charity and hopefully spread the word about the great work they do. What is your goal?

If anyone would like to donate funds to this fantastic charity, they can do so on Chris JustGiving page or directly through the organisations website. The links can be found on this page. All donations are very much appreciated! More about The Little Princess Trust When a child loses their hair to cancer or any other condition, The Little Princess Trust are there with a free, real hair wig supporting the childs self-confidence and identity. The Little Princess Trust is a fantastic charity that promises to stop at nothing until the research that they fund ends childhood cancer forever. The Trust relies solely on the efforts of enthusiastic community fundraisers like Chris, and they receive no formal funding. The donation of hair is made entirely again, by community fundraisers sharing your hair with children and young people experiencing the devastating effects of hair loss is an incredible thing to do. Since 2006, theyve provided more than 8,000 wigs and have given grants totalling more than 7 million towards research projects focussed on finding more effective treatments for childhood cancers.

Wed, 30 Jun 2021 00:00:00 BST https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/what-e10-petrol-means-for-you From September 2021, E10 petrol will become the standard fuel sold at almost all UK forecourts. If you weren't already aware, E10 unleaded petrol is being introduced nationwide as part of government efforts to cut down on CO2 emissions, which will slow down climate change. Regular petrol is called E5because itcontains up to 5% bioethanol, which is better for the environment than using 100% petrol. E10 therefore means that it contains up to 10% bioethanol - which is even better for the environment and as such, willbecome the standard petrol option available. All cars and motorbikes built since 2011 are compatible with E10, as are most from the late 1990s, but the government has warned that around 5% of vehicles are not. So it is important to check if your vehicle is compatible with E10 petrol. You can check this HERE.You simplyneed to know the vehicle model, engine size and the year it was manufactured. If your vehicle won't run on E10, you will simply have to continue using E5 petrol, which will still be sold at most petrol stations. However E5 will become a 'super' grade fuel, meaning it will cost more than E10. If you would like further details about E10 petrol, please visit theGovernment website. Simplyclick HERE.

Wed, 16 Jun 2021 00:00:00 BST https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/what-does-e10-petrol-mean-for-you From September 2021, E10 petrol will become the standard fuel sold at almost all UK forecourts. If you weren't already aware, E10 unleaded petrol is being introduced nationwide as part of government efforts to cut down on CO2 emissions, which will slow down climate change. Regular petrol is called E5because itcontains up to 5% bioethanol, which is better for the environment than using 100% petrol. E10 therefore means that it contains up to 10% bioethanol - which is even better for the environment and as such, willbecome the standard petrol option available. All cars and motorbikes built since 2011 are compatible with E10, as are most from the late 1990s, but the government has warned that around 5% of vehicles are not. So it is important to check if your vehicle is compatible with E10 petrol. You can check this HERE.You simplyneed to know the vehicle model, engine size and the year it was manufactured. If your vehicle won't run on E10, you will simply have to continue using E5 petrol, which will still be sold at most petrol stations. However E5 will become a 'super' grade fuel, meaning it will cost more than E10. If you would like further details about E10 petrol, please visit theGovernment website. Simplyclick HERE.

However E5 will become a 'super' grade fuel, meaning it will cost more than E10. If you would like further details about E10 petrol, please visit theGovernment website. Simplyclick HERE.

Mon, 24 May 2021 00:00:00 BST https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/new-forest-staycation RIDE ROUTE:New Forest 3-Day Staycation With so manyof us planning a UK staycationthis summer, we thought you'd enjoy our 3-day getaway to the New Forest! We've done all the hard work for you... dailyride routes and everything you need to see and do! PLUS, why not make this a real trip to remember, on one of our Harley-Davidson rentals!! Scroll down to find out more about our rentals AND our new bike rentals OFFER!! DAY 1 DAY 2 DAY 3 DAY 1: DAY 1 Starting from our Maidstone Harley-Davidson store, simply take Forstal Road eastbound and join the M20, following this road for the M26 and then the M25. For a scenic detour, leave the M25 at junction 8 and follow Reigate Hill to join the A25.(See our Ride Route Map for turn-by-turn detail). This will take you through the heart of the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with stunning views of the infamous Box Hill and Ranmore Common. Continue and follow signs for the A31 then M3 towards Southampton, before taking the M27 towards Romsey. Youll quickly notice how the hustle and bustle of busier motorways turninto green landscapes and much quieter B-roads. Following Roger Penny Way, youll be greeted by sweeping views of the New Forest as you climb gradually upwards towards Deadmans Hill. This might be the perfect place to stop for a light picnic or to stretch your legsand take in the country air. Continue on, meanderingthrough the small villages of Frogham, North Gorley, South Gorley & Mockbeggar, where there areplenty of opportunities for a pub lunch or tea room. From the T-Junction at Rockford Ford, take the road left towards Linwood. This long road takes you through the heart of the forest at Linwoodand eventually across the wild open heathlands. The Red Shoot micro-pub and brewery can be found off Toms Lane for a quick refreshment. Alternatively, there are a few carparks where you can stop to enjoy the landscape. Continuing through Linwood youll ride through the tall trees of the Bolderwood Arboretum Ornamental Drive. The large carpark on the left is one of the best places to see deer in the New Forest, with a viewing deck and even a pedestrian route to the Deer Hide. (There are also toilets located here if needed!) This road continues through the heart of the forest, lined with Douglas Firs, Redwoods and even the two tallest trees in the New Forest. Youll eventually pass the Rhinefield House Hotel on your right, heading into the town of Brockenhurst. A traditional country village and home to classic shops and tea rooms, Brockenhurst is officially Britains most beautiful place to live. Keep an eye out for the ponies, deer, donkeys and cows which are known to walk the streets freely! There are lots of options for accommodation nearby, whether youve packed all of your gear for a night camping at the Roundhill or Hollands Wood camping sites, or if youre ready for a night of comfort at the award-winning Forest Park Country Hotel. DAY 2: DAY 2 Heading out of Brockenhurst, take Beaulieu Road towards Hatchet Pond - the largest body of water within the Crown Lands. Man-made in the 18th century to power an iron mill, it is now home to a range of wildlife species and is certainly worth a brief stop. Follow Hatchet Lane towards Lymington, where The Mayflower Pub offers a luxurious award-winning breakfast as a treat! If youre looking to extend your trip or add an extra excursion, you can take the ferry to the Isle of Wight from Lymington Pier. As you pass the ferry terminal, Goodalls Strawberry Farm to your left offers a pick-your-own experience in the summer months! Continue along South Baddelsey Road through the village, and continue in a northern loop to the picturesque village of East Boldre home to the New Forests largest contingent of donkeys, and site of the famous WW1 flying school. Hatchet Pond will reappear on your left as you approach Beaulieu Road. A short detour to the picturesque hamlet of Bucklers Hard makes for a great photo opportunity, and will feel like stepping back in time! Otherwise, continue on towards Beaulieu and the National Motor Museum. Home to over 285 vehicles and one of the worlds finest collections of motor memorabilia, this is an incredible place to experience the rich heritage of motorcycles, cars and racing! Make sure you allow enough time to explore every inch of this impressive collection. Beaulieu has lots on offer to see and do, with countless pubs, restaurants and shops. For those that enjoy a historical site or a guided tour, Beaulieu Abbey and Palace House are a must! If youre looking for a little luxury during your trip, the Epicurean Club offer a Beaulieu Adventure package, with your ticket for the National Motor Museum, an overnight stay, plus award-winning dinner and breakfast included! Or if you wanted to add some coastal scenery into your road-trip, adding a loop via Lepe Country Park and along towards Calshot Beach guarantees stunning sea views and an unbeatable sun-set. Head back along the B3056 towards Lyndhurst, where there are numerous accommodation options. For camping, you could head to Denny Wood Campsite, or check into the Rufus House for a comfy bed & breakfast. DAY 3: DAY 3 Lyndhurst, the capital of the New Forest, is a busy village, and home to the New Forest Heritage Centre. It is also the centre of some of the iconic New Forest cycling routes, if you fancied swapping your Harley and leather jacket for a bicycle and helmet! Heading out of Lyndhurst, take the A35 towards Burley. If youd prefer to take a scenic detour, head west out of Lyndhurst follow the road towards Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary (refer to our Ride Route Map), and then turn left down the Bolderwood Arboretum Ornamental Drive, back towards the A35 and Lyndhurst Road into Burley Burley is the home to the free-roaming New Forest ponies, and also boasts traditional village pubs, shops, tea rooms and even wagon rides! If you like walking, the Burley Hill Fort Loop of 9.5 miles, starting from the Queens Head Pub, is the perfect route to explore this part of the New Forests legacy in detail from folklore myths to the legend of smuggling. Take the Ringwood Road, A31 and A338 northbound over the Blashford Lakes. The Alice Lisle Inn is a great place to stop for lunch, with a large outdoor garden and stunning views overlooking Rockford Lake. Or take a detour to Hockeys Farm Shop, where all of the food served in their caf is directly sourced from their own farm! Continue north, turning right at Hern Lane, and following until you can join the B3078, and over Deadmans Hill (which may look familiar from day 1). For a final stop off, the detour to Fritham will give you another chance to stretch your legs before hitting the road to ride home. The walk from Eyeworth Pond gives great views over the Island Thorns & Amberwood Enclosures, and you might even spot some wild deer! DAY 1 DAY 2 DAY 3 You could experience the ultimate riding adventure with a Harley-Davidson authorised rental! This is a great way to experience a Harley-Davidson if you've never ridden one, or alternativelyit offers existing Harley riders the chance to experience a new model on anextended test ride!!

Back in April 2020, Ian, who is a front line worker for the NHS, had his beautiful Triumph Sprint 955i stolen from his home. Not only was this extremely upsetting for Ian, but he was also unable to get to and from work as he no longer had any transport. Thankfully, after a plea for information about his bike via social media, Ian's Triumph Sprint was found three days later - but sadly it was in need of a lot of work before it could be ridden again. As soon as our team at Laguna Motorcycles in Maidstone heard of Ians unfortunate situation, we reached out to him and offered our support. We collected his bike from Brighton and made sure that the repairs needed to his bike were taken care of, which included sourcing the many various components - some of which were rather tricky to secure due to the age of the bike and some supply chain challenges due to the Covid pandemic. Thankfully Triumph UK kindly assisted us and were able to provide many of the parts that Ian's bike required. Once the repairs were completed, we stored the bike for Ian until it was appropriate for him to travel out of area to collect his bike. In the meantime, Triumph UK also stepped up to kindly provideIan with a Triumph Tiger 800 XCX model from their fleet to keep him mobile at a time when he was needed most - delivering it to him as swiftly as possible so he could continue to work. Ian did in fact decide to purchase the Tiger XCX motorcycle that Triumph UK lent him after enjoying his time on the bike... and last week he was finally able to travel up to Laguna Motorcycles to collect his beloved Sprint 955i - check out the photos below! We're very pleased to have been able to help Ian alongside Triumph UK, in his time of need and during a tough year for many.

Thu, 01 Apr 2021 00:00:00 BST https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/project-triumph-te-1-prototype-motorcycle-design With the exciting reveal of the innovative advanced electric powertrain and battery and the first styling sketches for the final Project TE-1 Prototype, Phase 2 of this landmark four phase collaboration in British design and engineering reaches a successful conclusion. Delivering on the objectives announced at the start of the TE-1 project in May 2019, focused on developing specialist electric motorcycle technology and innovative integrated solutions, this unique collaboration between Triumph Motorcycles, Williams Advanced Engineering, Integral Powertrain Ltd, and WMG at the University of Warwick funded by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles, has already achieved significant results. Including innovation in battery and powertrain design, initial test performance results far exceed the current benchmarks and industry targets. Developments in performance, efficiency and range is enabling Project TE-1 to fully deliver the partnerships objectives to enhance the credibility and profile of British industry providing substantial input into future electric motorcycle strategy from Triumph. Announcing the completion of Phase 2- with the reveal of the battery and powertrain prototype, initial high level performance results, and the first design concept drawings for the Project TE-1 Prototype motorcycle that will be created at the end of the next phase. Key project achievements to dateinclude test results that show significant innovation in mass, battery technology, and powertrain performance that exceeds the target set by the UK Automotive Council for 2025, meeting the projects ambitious objectives to deliver genuine innovation for a new standard in fully usable electric motorcycle performance. Project TE-1 is a unique collaboration between four major UK industry and academic leaders- Triumph Motorcycles, Williams Advanced Engineering, Integral Powertrain Ltd.s e-Drive Division, and WMG at the University of Warwick. The objective of this two-year project is focused on developing electric motorcycle capabilities- providing an input into Triumphs future electric motorcycle offer, driving innovation, capability and new intellectual property, enhancing the credibility and profile of British industry and design. Project TE-1 is fundedby the UK Governments Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV), and delivered through Innovate UK The completion of Phase 2, and the promising results achieved to date, provide an exciting glimpse of the potential electric future and showcase the talent and innovation of this unique British collaboration. Without doubt the outcome of this project will play a significant part in our future efforts to meet our customers ambition and desire to reduce their environmental impact and for more sustainable transportation, said Nick Bloor, Triumph CEO. This important project will provide one of the foundations for our future electric motorcycle strategy, which is ultimately focussed on delivering what riders want from their Triumph; the perfect balance of performance, handling and real world usability, with genuine Triumph character. PROJECT TE-1 PHASE 2 OUTCOMES Battery and powertrain prototype WILLIAMS ADVANCED ENGINEERING (WAE) Based on the agreed specification, we identified appropriate cell technology and battery architecture to deliver the performance objectives. Using this as a framework, we then optimised the battery module layout to balance mass and positioning within the prototype chassis taking into consideration centre of gravity, space and relationship with the powertrain and charging approach. In addition to the module layout, we have also developed a new and unique vehicle control unit which is integrated into the battery pack to minimise weight and packaging. In parallel, WAE has also created innovative battery management software to ensure power is delivered in relationship to battery performance. The outcome of Phase 2 for WAE includes a fully bench-tested battery with performance results that exceeds anything else on the market in terms of Power and Energy Density. We are delighted to be working on this project, working to deliver next-generation battery technology and control systems. Within the current landscape, most electric motorcycle technology arguably delivers compromised performance at low levels of battery charge. By using a lightweight, compact solution we have been able to give the rider all of the performance all of the time (regardless of battery charge), and a class leading range. We have focussed on pushing the boundaries to reduce mass and optimise frame position to benefit handling. We have also pushed the limits of battery performance, balancing the design for acceleration and range, with simulations modelled on track-based riding. In other words, as aggressive as possible, saidDyrr Ardash, Senior Commercial Manager, Williams Advanced Engineering.The energy density of this new battery will be a significant step forward from existing technology giving the rider more power, for longer. WAE has also designed and developed an electronic control unit from the ground-up combining the battery management system with the bike control functions in one package. This is a first for this market, benefiting packaging and integration whilst optimising performance and range. INTEGRAL POWERTRAIN LTD.S E-DRIVEDIVISION Our experience in cutting edge motor and inverter design and manufacture has helped us to push this technology on to the next level for the TE-1 project. In Phase 1 we worked to integrate the normally separate motor and inverter into one single, compact, package. Integration reduces the mass and volume of the drivetrain by reducing additional boxes on the vehicle, mounting features, coolant pipework and heavy high voltage connections. The innovative integration concept is also a fully scalable one, whereby the number of power stages can increase for larger diameter, higher torque motors for example. Combined with our state-of-the-art motor technology, we have seen very exciting results already, with the motor achieving a power density twice that of the target set by the UK Automotive Council for 2025. We have also implemented advanced silicon carbide switch technology in the inverter, this reduces losses in the inverter and results in greater drivetrain efficiency, power delivery and range. At the end of Phase 2, we are proud to have built a fully operational, new, prototype motor that has been bench tested and is delivering on all aspects of performance. "One of the most influential factors in how well a motorcycle handles and performs is mass, so at Integral Powertrain we have focused heavily on making a step change in motor and inverter design, removing heavy high voltage cables for example. This delivers a product that is significantly more compact and lighter than anything currently available on the market. The motor produces 130kW or almost 180 horsepower, but weighs only 10 kilograms, much lighter than existing technology and clearly a small fraction of the mass of traditional internal combustion engines, saidAndrew Cross, Chief Technical Officer at Integral Powertrain Ltd.The silicon carbide switch technology in our new scalable integrated inverter will help set new standards in terms of electric motorcycle efficiency; application of this technology means a lighter weight overall with significantly more performance and range. In parallel, we have a very strong focus on design for manufacture and assembly activity, so that all this high motor and inverter performance can be offered cost-effectively. Ultimately, this is really going to be an industry-leading powertrain that will help define the future of electric mobility. With the TE-1 project we are proud to be part of this landmark project for British industry. WMG, AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WARWICK At WMG we have been working closely with all the TE-1 partners during Phase 1 and 2 to develop representative models to simulate the systems of the bike including battery, motor and vehicle control. Initially this allowed us to validate the specification against the intended component selection by assessing performance criteria such as range and top speed with initial models. This has enabled Triumph to carry out software development at an early stage prior to hardware being built with thorough testing programmes to ensure that real-life testing can deliver on refinement. Most recently we have been conducting powertrain rig testing using the prototype IPT powertrain to ensure our simulations are accurate and to confirm that the motor functions within the system as intended. We have also been providing guidance to Triumph relating to future legislation, charging infrastructure and recycling strategies that will need to be implemented across future electric motorcycle platforms. Our creation of initial computer-based simulation models at the start of Phase 1 has been instrumental in ensuring that the component selection was appropriate to achieve the performance targets defined by the partners for the TE-1 Prototype. We have continued with this work across Phase 2 of the project, refining the models to a much more complex level to allow us and the partners to imitate further components on the bike such as braking, throttle, lighting and other systems and mimic real-world riding to provide development opportunities before components were fully designed. Additionally we have created a physical rig wired with all of the control units, in order to implement a design validation test programme to ensure the function of each section was within the allowable range,said Truong Quang Dinh, Assistant Professor of Energy Management and Control Systems at WMG, University of Warwick. TRIUMPH MOTORCYCLES Throughout phase 2 Triumph have developed an all new advanced vehicle control software which incorporates all of the electrical systems to ensure intuitive throttle response, regen braking, traction control and all of the dimensions that a customer would expect from a high-performance Triumph motorcycle. Additionally, we have integrated leading functional safety strategies into this software, plus supported WMG in rig testing and have also fully developed the new prototype instrument display. Alongside this electrical and control system work, we have designed a brand-new prototype chassis including main frame and rear frame which have been optimised alongside the battery and motor packages which will be further evolved in Phase 3 into the TE-1 Prototype which will be used as a mule test platform in Phase 4. During this chassis development we have taken into account both the transmission design and the final styling of the TE-1 Prototype, the drawings of which we are pleased to reveal for the first time today. Steve Sargent, Triumphs Chief Product Officer saidThe starting point for us in the TE-1 project was to gather important customer feedback about what riders really want from their motorcycles and understand how an electric motorcycle can provide the experience that riders desire. This includes considering the type of riding, range, feel and nature of power and torque delivery together with the ergonomics and bike controls. Taking all of this feedback into consideration we began the chassis design, focusing on bringing everything together on the TE-1 Prototype in a way that provides a riding experience that is exciting and new but ultimately familiar. We have begun to define the powertrain and battery interaction through the use of software refinement to deliver an exhilarating power delivery and throttle response, which provides great control and feels intuitive to the rider. Overall with the styling we wanted to create something that is fresh and exciting but a natural evolution of the Triumph brand. Something desirable in its own right, with distinctive Triumph DNA and definitely not something that is different just for the sake of being different. Pulling all of this together with the partners we are thrilled to see the progress of such an exciting demonstration vehicle which incorporates the cutting-edge technology needed to guide the strategy for the future roadmap of electric motorcycles from Triumph. The team are proud to be leading such an innovative, strong and dynamic project with a fantastic group of partners which ultimately should set British engineering and design rightly at the forefront of future 2 wheel design.

We are proud to have delivered the funding for this project which is a pioneering project for the zero-emission vehicle motorcycle manufacturing in the UK as it has successfully developed, thanks to a very talented group of innovators, the very first Triumph electric motorcycle in a very quick development time and prepared the groundwork for the future of electric motorcycles. Jon Bray Research & Development (R&D) Lead - Office for Zero Emission Vehicles Investment in Research and Development is key to our mission of putting the UK at the forefront of the design, manufacture and use of zero emission vehicles. By supporting these technologies, we are helping to deliver our road transport decarbonisation goals, while anchoring economic activity across the UK, which will support the green recovery in the wake of the pandemic. This is why the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles continues to design and fund a series of R&D competitions, which support UK innovation in developing zero emission vehicle and charging infrastructure technologies. Triumphs TE-1 project is part of our diverse R&D portfolio of ambitious electrification projects, which are addressing challenges in line with our accelerated phase-out ambitions of petrol and diesel cars and vans and electric vehicle commitments in the Prime Ministers Ten Point Plan. We are excited to see that our funding is supporting Triumph Motorcycles in driving forward innovation and capability in the electric motorcycle space, while fostering collaboration between several pioneering UK companies.

Scroll down and enjoy... QUESTION TIME WITH SARAH... What do you do at Laguna Maidstone? I am the Clothing Department Manager at Laguna Maidstone. However since the first lockdown I have also been overseeing the running of the eCommerce Department. What does a normal day at work look like for you? Every day varies and no two days are the same. Currently it could be booking the new 2021 clothing stock and merchandising it, or it could be processing the eCommerce orders and getting these dispatched and out to customers. It could also be doing some behind the scenes work with eCommerce and getting new stock online. What made you want to work at Laguna Maidstone? I applied to work at Laguna Maidstone straight of university on a temporary part-time basis and never envisaged myself being here 9 years later and running a department! We have a great team at Laguna Maidstone and not just in terms of individual departments. I also really enjoy when we have the opportunity to work at events and work with other colleagues from different Laguna stores. If you could invite any 3 women (past, present or fictional) to a ride with or hang out with, who would you choose and why? This is a tricky one. If I had to choose only three: Maggie Smith, (great actress and I suspect could tell some interesting tales - Im also a Harry Potter fan!), Joanna Lumley (again, great actress, has travelled the world and I just think she would be fun), and Anne Frank. Whatmotorcycle best describes you and why? This is another hard question. I would have to say something like a Triumph Speed Twin - personally I love the modern classics range as they offer reliability and fun, but without losing the classic charm. Who is a female role model of yours and why? Im not sure I can pinpoint just one - but I come from a family witha lot of strong and independent females. QUESTION TIME WITH HOLLY... What do you do at Laguna Motorcycles in Maidstone? I organise and update our ecommerce systems with new stock and help customers with all of their clothing enquiries and purchases. What does a normal day at work look like for you? Things are always super busy in clothing! We begin the day by packing up orders ready for shipping off to their new homes and updating any stock on our websites and online platforms. Throughout the day we take calls and enquiries to assist customers in finding their new jackets, boots, helmets and more. No request is ever too much and we will always try hard to help wherever we can. What made you want to work at Laguna Motorcycles? I love nothing more than meeting people from all walks of life, so speaking to customers each day with different bikes, backgrounds and stories is so rewarding. We see new riders gearing up for their first ride on a 125cc, or veteran riders with classic bikes that have seen years of adventures. If you could invite any 3 women (past, present or fictional) to a ride with or hang out with, who would you choose and why? Kate Winslet, as she seems to be able to let her hair down, and have a good laugh! Amy Winehouse, as I love how she expressed herself. I think we could have such interestingconversations. Belatrix Le Strange, as shes fierce and full of confidence. Whatmotorcycle best describes you and why? A Triumph Street Triple RS, as it gets straight to the point, but has just enough attitude to balance out the fun! Who is a female role model of yours and why? Monami Frost, as she is incredibly creative and determined, founding her own clothing line and a restaurant chain. If she wants something, she does everything she can to achieve it even if that means rocking the boat a little bit! I find her drive and confidence so inspiring. QUESTION TIME WITH SHARRON... What do you do at Laguna Motorcycles? I work in the Account's office. What does a normal day at work look like for you? Im kept busy reconciling accounts and stroking Winston, the office dog! What made you want to work at Laguna Motorcycles? From the interview outset I felt a rapport with the business and the people. I knew I would be happy there. If you could invite any 3 women (past, present or fictional) to a ride with or hang out with, who would you choose and why? Sara Payne, because in spite of suffering the unbearable loss of her daughter, Sarah, she campaigned tirelessly for Sarahs Law. Even after suffering a stroke and a marriage break up she never gave up fighting the cause. She is inspirational as a person but mostly as a mother. She proves that you should never give up something you believe in no matter what you face or endure. Always maintaining her composure and dignity. Dawn French, because she never fails to make me laugh. She is a very clever and witty person and I'm sure has many stories to tell through her work and her life experiences. Anne Boleyn because I absolutely love everything about the Tudor history, especially King Henry VIII. I would just love to spend time with her finding out what really happened in the court of King Henry and if indeed she was as bad as everyone in history says she was - or in fact if he was too. What motorcycle best describes you and why? The Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra. I love this bike because it looks laid back and easy going - you can just glide along the roads on it with ease. Taking each day in its stride and seeing where the road takes you! Who is a female role model of yours and why? JK Rowling, because I have always wanted to be a writer/author. I think her imagination is outstanding. She is a magnificent story teller and how she creates all these characters and places and everything else around it is just incredible. To have a mind like that and to be able to convey that onto paper must be such a thrill for her. Giving all that enjoyment to the world through her books. QUESTION TIME WITH CHLOE... What do you do at Laguna Motorcycles? My role as Graphic Designer for the marketing team includes a mix of everything, from designing ads and website visuals to setting up promotional displays. What does a normal day at work look like for you? Busy(!) - from photographing one-off custom bikes to preparing for launch events, theres always lots going on! On a typical day, I could be designing anything from website visuals and social media posts, to magazine ads and posters. You might also see me in the showrooms or at events, photographing bikes, boots and everything in between! What made you want to work at Laguna Motorcycles? Motorcycles and the motor industry are in my blood, but graphic design has always been my passion. So the rare opportunity to combine the two was a dream! Plus joining an all-female team, in a male dominated industry, was super empowering and lots of fun! If you could invite any 3 women (past, present or fictional) to a ride with or hang out with, who would you choose and why? Amelia Earhart, because she was fearless and incredibly determined, despite constantly being told she was out of her depth. Id love to spend a day hearing about her incredible achievements. Dawn French, because Id be in fits of giggles the whole time. Penelope Pitstop from Wacky Racers, because you have to throw a bit of speed into the mix! What motorcycle best describes you and why? Honda Monkey, because theyre simple and small, but always up for an adventure! Who is a female role model of yours and why? Violette Szabo - the Special Operations agent & WW2 heroine. I first learnt about her at a Ray Mears seminar, and have never forgotten the story of her incredible life and sacrifice. Id challenge anyone to read about Violette and not feel hugely inspired by her strength and determination. QUESTION TIME WITH EMMA... What do you do at Laguna Motorcycles? I'm the Marketing Manager at Laguna Motorcycles. I oversee and action all of the day-to-day marketing projects, initiatives and campaigns for five dealership stores which cover 9 different motorcycle brands, with the help of our fantastic Graphic Designer, Chloe. What does a normal day at work look like for you? There is no normal day for me as I am lucky to have an extremely varied role, which keeps me very busy! I continually review, prioritise and plan all of the marketing tasks that need to be undertaken andimplement them. A lot of tasks require me to work closely with our designer to bring comms to life and I also work with many individuals across the business to deliver certain tasks, which is oneaspect of my role that I really love. What made you want to work at Laguna Motorcycles? After many years of working in London for big organisations in different industries, I fancied a change. Working for a family run company appealed to me greatly, as did immersing myself in the world of motorcycles, which was new to me. Laguna Motorcycles has 5 dealerships, but I alwaysremember walking into our Harley-Davidson store for the first time when I had my interview and Im pretty certain I got goosebumps the bikes were beautiful, as was the store -and the opportunity of working with amazing motorcycle brands like Harley-Davidson was really exciting to me. If you could invite any 3 women (past, present or fictional) to a ride with or hang out with, who would you choose and why? Holly Willoughby. She seems to have the amazing ability of being able to see the funny side in everything and I think shed be really good fun to hang out with.Margot Robbies depiction of the Harley Quinn character. Shes fearless and as sweet as she is crazy - guaranteed to liven things up! Kate Winslet. Shes just so inspiring. She is intelligent, strong minded and down to earth. I love her unwavering confidence and her total acceptance of who she is, flaws and all. What motorcycle best describes you and why? I think it's got to be one of the Ducati Scrambler bikes inthat gorgeous Atomic Orange colour!... Bright,easy-going and fun! Who is a female role model of yours and why? My mum springs to mind immediately. She has an amazing inner strength to get through anything life throws at her, with absoluteintegrity and grace. She taught me the importance of education and hard work so that I may stand on my own two feet in life, as well as the importance of patience and kindness towards others. I am thankful for her unconditional support in life. MEET MORE OF THE LADIES AT OUR STORES... CLICK HERE to meet Carol and Sarah at our Maidstone Harley-Davidson store!

What does a normal day at work look like for you? Keeping the boys in check and making sure that all of the t's are crossed and the i's are dotted. (A woman's work is never done!) What made you want to work at Laguna Triumph? Having watched the new building take shape some years back, I became a customer. I then saw an advert for a staff vacancy at the store and I jumped at the opportunity. If you could invite any 3 women (past, present or fictional) to a ride with or hang out with, who would you choose and why? First up has got to be Dolly Parton, she makes any journey fun! Second would be Sarah Millican because we share the same values, and third would be Melissa McCarthy, for her wit and dry sense of humour. What Triumph motorcycle best describes you and why? Its got to be the Tiger 1050 Sport, namely because I just bought one!... but I also share its reputation of a sense of adventure. Whilst I enjoy a smooth road I like to go off the beaten track now and again. Who is a female role model of yours and why? I wouldn't know where to begin, there are so many from all walks of life who have all taught me to be strong, stay positive, have a laugh and (try) not to take things too seriously, but reach out when it gets too much.

FOREVER SEEKING NEW ADVENTURES One person who who is always seeking new adventures is actor, Jason Momoa, who recently produced and directed a series of short films for Harley-Davidson's "United We Will Ride" campaign. Jason was lucky enough to experience the brand new Pan America motorcycle which has expanded his passion for Harley-Davidson even further! Check out Jason on this bike in the video below! Mon, 11 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/maidstone-harley-davidsonexclusive-custom-street-rod **SOLD!** We love doing things a little differently here at Maidstone Harley-Davidson, especially when it comes to custom builds and capturing the spirit of adventure! After the success of our DirtQuake Flat Track race bike, we built Hurricane the road going Flat Track racer. That bike is with its new owner, but we loved building it so we tried something similar - but with a bit more of a heritage feel to it. The end result is this super cool custom Street Rod with an XR750 inspired design. The paint work is beautiful and has an incredible flake throughout the vibrant orange colourway. It is completely custom and you will be the only person sporting a bike with paint like this! We couldnt just settle with paintwork, so we created a whole new rear end and race-inspired number boards on both sides as well as a unique race inspired head board. The front number board features LED lights and a Number 1 - quite simply because this bike is number 1 in style and feel, and the fuel tank is an original Sportster fuel tank with a modification which gives a nod to the XR models of old. A one-off exhaust ensures the bike sounds as good as it looks and a high flow air filter finishes off the Stage 1 tune, giving you plenty of power for the road ahead. Tracker handlebars and grips put you in a comfy riding position and make you feel fully in contact with the bike and a hand made seat ensures you can ride mile after mile in complete comfort. We also added some off road foot pegs to ensure you keep your feet in place in case you fancy getting sideways! Mini LED indicators ensure you dont spoil the lines of the bike but are bright enough to allow people to see them, and the MX-style fork protectors keep the front end looking like a thoroughbred race machine.

This week Ducati announced that their brand new Multistrada V4 has gone in to production! This model boasts a world-first as it is the first motorcycle to ever use front and rear radar technology promising to deliver a new level of excellence in terms of comfort and rider assistance. The new model sees a new, light and compact V4 engine, designed to meet the adventure touring needs, without neglecting emotion and sportiness. The radar technology has been developed with top-level technology partner, Bosch. The front radar controls the adaptive cruise control (braking & accelerating) which automatically adjusts the distance from other vehicles when riding between 30-160 km/hr. The rear radar detects vehicles in the blind-spot and signals this to the rider. This technology does not replace the rider, it is simply an aid riders must always regularly check (and correct) these systems and it is the rider that remains responsible for riding. Keep an eye out for further news about this bike as the new Multstrada V4 will be officially presented on the 4th November! CONTACT US today to register your interest!

Adding the zest of the Ninja personality to the basic SX package has led to an uplift in dynamic engine and chassis performance, without losing the enviable touring capability, which initially established a new category of machine in the litre class. Tech-wise, a TFT meter panel and advanced traction control feature alongside electronic cruise control plus a quick shifter as well as a clever integrated braking system and cornering management, all designed to facilitate hours of fulfilling saddle time whether that be long distance touring or hard core sport riding. Available in three colourway options for 2021, riders can choose between Metallic Carbon Gray / Metallic Diablo Black, Emerald Blazed Green / Metallic Diablo Black / Metallic Graphite Gray or Metallic Moondust Gray / Metallic Diablo Black. And in each case match the desired colour to one of three Editions. The Ninja 1000SX Performance Edition adds frame sliders, a smoke windscreen, a gel tank pad, a colour coded seat cover plus the sporty sound and extra performance of an Akrapovi exhaust. Marking the fifth generation of a successful sport touring platform, the Ninja 1000SX Tourer Edition adds a 2x 28L integrated pannier system that is colour-matched to the body of the bike and can be conveniently locked with the ignition key. A larger windscreen is fitted for even more comfort; while the GPS bracket lets you mount your system of choice. The third of the trio of Edition options is the Ninja 1000SX Performance Tourer Edition adding a colour coded 2x 28L integrated pannier system, heated grips, frame sliders, a large smoke windscreen, a GPS bracket, a gel tank pad, a colour coded seat cover plus the sporty sound and extra performance of an Akrapovi exhaust. Time and distance will continue to be an abstract concept for Ninja 1000SX riders as they choose a destination and decide how long they would like to take to get there. Motorway blasts or country road tours, the Ninja 1000SX in all its new liveries and guises is set once more to deliver the ultimate combination of Sports thrills and Touring practicality. Prices for each machine will be announced at a later date.

MCN's short-but-sweet overview of the 1198 S Corse is: "This is truly one of those motorcycles that everybody should be allowed to ride once in their life. One of the best V-twins ever made." If that doesn't speak volumes, we don't know what does. Figures are just figures even when Ducati claim 168bhp, but whatever figure we find smearing the rear Pirelli tyre, rest assured this engine is one serious powerhouse. Torque alone gets the Ducati 1198S shifting the earth backwards on its axis, and then the power takes over to make point-to-point roads seem like a Scalextric course. The gearbox is sweeter than sugared almonds and the lump doesn't vibrate anywhere near as bad as you would think a mighty V-twin should. Used, with only 2,953 miles on the clock - this is a truely superb motorcycle for sale at just 14,995.

Marking the start of a new chapter, the Trident motorcycle introduces a triple-powered dimension to the competitive middleweight roadster world. It has been in development for four years - conceived and designed by the Hinckley design team, with styling input from Rodolfo Frascol. It has been designed to deliver a complete motorcycle for the perfect ride. So far, we know that this new machine will of course have a unique British design - ingrained in all Triumph motorcycles - a minimalist form with clean lines, signature tank knee indents, more than a hint of the Speed Triple's muscular poise and the perfect balance of low down torque and top end power.

Limited to just 100 units in the UK, the flagship superbike sports the same retro-inspired livery as the GSX-RR MotoGP machine, with the traditional blue and slate silver colour scheme paying homage to Suzukis early Grand Prix machines of the 1960s. The GSX-R which has won races and championships in the UK, the USA, and Australia, the Senior TT on the Isle of Man, and most recently picked up three victories at the Silverstone British Superbike round last week weekend also shares more than just paint with the GP racer. It utilises the same variable valve timing system to boost both torque and peak power and gets a comprehensive suite of electronics, which includes 10 traction control modes, a quickshifter and auto-blipper, launch control, and lean angle-sensitive ABS. 2020 marks 100 years since the inception of the Suzuki Loom Manufacturing Co. The firm began the production of motorcycles in 1952 with the launch of the Power Free, and two years later changed its name to Suzuki Motor Co. Ltd. Since then it has gone on to produce some of the most iconic motorcycles of the 20th and 21st century, including the complete GSX-R series most notably the genre-defining 1985 GSX-R750F and the 2001 GSX-R1000 K1 the GT750, GSX1100S Katana, and RGV250, plus Bandits and the legendary Hayabusa.

The naked CB500F gains two new vibrant colours: Candy Caribbean Blue Sea and Candy Moon Glow Yellow, while the sporty CBR500R benefits from striking new graphics and logos highlighting its racetrack heritage. The CB500X adventure machine will come equipped with a red rear sub frame, in tribute to the CRF1100L Africa Twin. Hondas research of a representative sample of customers shows the breadth of appeal of the three machines across different rider demographics. Figures show that 46% of CB500F and 29% of CBR500R owners are new riders, with 30% and 35% respectively under the age of 24, illustrating how instrumental they have been in bringing new young riders to the world of two wheels. Conversely, 90% of CB500X riders are already in the market showing the all-round strength of appeal offered by the compact adventurer with its rugged styling, long travel suspension, upright riding position and 19 front wheel. All three fun, frugal machines still produce the maximum 35kW allowed for the A2 licence holder from their punchy 500cc engine, and are now homologated for EURO5, which from January 1st, 2020 introduced significantly stricter engine emissions standards compared to EURO4. These requirements include substantial reductions in permitted carbon monoxide emissions, an over 40% decrease in total hydrocarbon emissions, tougher misfire detection and the introduction of a particulate matter limit. Honda have sold over 92,000 units of the CBs and CBR across Europe since their introduction in 2013. Each take their own place in a distinct world within Hondas rich product line-up: the CB500F roadster accounts for 48%, the race world representative CBR500R 18%, and the adventure world CB500X 33% of the total sales figure. While their compact dimensions and welcoming manners make Hondas 500cc trio easy machines to manage, ride and learn on, those same attributes also make them a genuine pleasure for those whether stepping up from a 125, coming down from a bigger machine or returning to the market who want to explore just what they can do at the weekend, whatever the type of ride they choose.

Fri, 17 Jul 2020 00:00:00 BST https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/the-ultimate-z-test-ride%21 After a competition was launched at Motorcycle Live last year in which customers were asked to submit a thirty second video of themselves telling us why they should be chosen, the eventual two worthy winners were Andy Sharp and Thomas Bell! Both Kawasaki fans (owning a Ninja H2 SX SE+ and Z1000SX respectively), you can imagine their excitement of being invited to this memorable event. When The Kawasaki chaperone arrived early one Monday morning in February at Heathrow airport, they found two very eager Club Kawasaki members desperate to find out what exactly we had in store for them Andy Sharp - I just couldnt believe I had won! Im such a huge Kawasaki fan, and had never been to Las Vegas before, so to combine the two and get to experience behind the scenes of an event not normally open to the public was just fantastic! Thomas Bell The chance to ride a Supercharged motorcycle on a banked circuit was out of this world! Kawasaki UK and Kawasaki Europe put on such an awesome event, its something I will remember for the rest of my life! Worldwide new model press introductions are usually for members of the motorcycle press only and produce the images and articles you read in publications such as Motorcycle News, Fast Bikes magazine etc. However, for the first time ever customers of ours from across Europe were invited to join the final group of this historic event and truly experience what it was like to become a journalist for a few days. Thomas and Andy not only got to ride the new machine alongside the journalists, but experienced everything that goes on at a launch from meeting the Z H2 Japanese Project Leader to having direct access to a technical team tending to their every need as the machine was set up just for them. It wasnt all about the bikes though, of course they needed a little R&R to acclimatise to the time difference! So Kawasaki set about taking the guys on a tour of the famous Las Vegas strip, visiting Fremont Street, experiencing the New York New York rollercoaster and we even squeezed in a memorable helicopter ride over the sensational Grand Canyon! Suitably relaxed, they arrived at the awe inspiring Las Vegas Motor Speedway ready to feel 200BHP of Supercharged excitement. Not content with just providing this riding experience, the track also happened to be right next to a US Airforce base, meaning that the riders were treated to the full Top Gun experience of riding bikes with fighter jets flying overhead! The Z H2 really is a bike for many different types of rider, as Andy and Thomas found out. Just as capable on track as it is on the road, whilst a Supercharged 200BHP sounds intimidating, they found out it really isnt. Andy Sharp What a day! I had never ridden on an oval track before, but I want to again! The Z H2 is fantastic, so fast when you want it to be, but really composed too. It handled both the slow speed and high speed sections with ease. I want one! Thomas Bell The mid-range power this bike has is phenomenal, it makes it so easy to ride with minimal gear changes, even though you actually want to change gear with both the super smooth quickshifter and beautiful chirp chirp sound of the Supercharger resonating through your helmet! Kawasaki whisked the guys back to the Mirage Hotel and a couple of hours were spent on the Roulette table looking back on a brilliant day, whilst hoping the following day would be equally as epic It was. The Valley of Fire is arguably one of the most breath-taking State Parks in the United States, strewn with beautiful red coloured rock formations. This set the scene for the road riding element, where both Andy and Thomas rode an awesome stretch of winding smooth tarmac, on closed roads, posing for the professional photo and video team as they passed by. Access was then granted to the private Kawasaki website which gave them a selection of stunning images they can show off to their biker friends for ever more! It turned out that they enjoyed the bike on normal roads just as much as on track! Thomas Bell That bike just keeps surprising me! With all the talk about Superchargers and 200BHP, we knew it would be a weapon on track, but out there, at relatively slow speeds on normal roads it works just as well. The route back to the hotel was genuinely the best ride I have EVER had on a motorcycle! Andy Sharp I have ridden a few track days in my time, but most of my riding is done on the road, so as much as the Speedway was amazing I was really keen to try out the Z H2 on the road. Due to the strict rules in the State Park, the speed limit was quite slow, but it just enabled us to really zone in on what the bike was doing and how it worked at a more sedate pace. It was a dream to ride through such beautiful landscape on such a well behaved machine. Can we go back please? All that remained for the two lucky guests was a ten hour flight back home to the UK, but they had had the time of their lives! It was a first for Kawasaki to invite customers to such an event; will we do it again? That remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure, Thomas and Andy are left with lifelong memories! The new Z H2 is an amazing bike, just ask the guys, but why dont you go one step better and try one for yourself by heading to www.kawasakitestride.co.uk and booking a test ride with your local Kawasaki dealer? Ok, so it wont be in Las Vegas, but trust us, youll love it.

Keen to lend a hand in these challenging times, we registered 20 PCX scooters for deployment by the NHS Volunteer Responders scheme, effective immediately. The best-selling PTW (Powered Two-Wheeler) of 2019 will be pressed into service to assist with deliveries of prescriptions and medical supplies to members of the local community most at risk from the virus, to stay well. Often the default choice for couriers in urban environments, thanks to its slim form, agile dynamics and large under seat storage space, the PCX makes the perfect, easy-riding partner to NHS Front Line Workers, Community Response volunteers and NHS Transport volunteers tasked with assisting pharmacies in the fulfilment of prescriptions and the transport of medical goods between NHS services and sites. Neil Fletcher, Head of Motorcycles at Honda UK said: Its inspiring how quickly 750,000 people signed-up to NHS Volunteer Responders in the UK. Im delighted to see Honda Maidstone playing its part at this difficult time, despite being closed for regular business. We wholly endorse their decision to supply the scooters to boost all-important delivery capacity in the local community, ensuring those at high-risk receive the supplies they need. Harry Pearce, General Manager of Maidstone Honda said: Weve been a proud member of the local community since 2013 and want to do what we can to lend a hand to both NHS Front Line Workers and NHS Volunteer Responders. Those at high-risk who have been told not to leave their homes for 12 weeks have it doubly tough, they cant shop for groceries or collect medical prescriptions, so depend on volunteers. Its these volunteers were hoping to mobilise with this fleet of PCX scooters its the least we could do and I really hope it makes a difference.

Here at Laguna Motorcycles, we stock the Ladies and Mens Oxford Mondial Suit - and apart from the sizing, shape and slightly different vents, both styles are identical when it comes to its benefits and practicality. The Mondial Jacket is a step up from regular waterproof wear it employs a laminate outer shell, incorporating the highest Oxford Dry2Dry waterproof and breathable membrane, which is bonded to a tough nylon construction, and has a durable inner lining which is comfortable against the skin. The benefit of laminate is that it doesnt hold water in a downpour and dries out quickly compared to most heavy weighted Gore-Tex suits. Both styles have chest vents to keep the rider cool when needed. The mens vent is accessible via a side zip and Velcro at the bottom of the vent, and the womans style has one zip on each side. Whilst the jacket and trousers are sold separately, theyre a worthwhile investment as they say, theres no such thing as bad weather, just bad gear! The trouser is designed to provide unrestricted movement in extreme riding conditions, using technical laminated fabrics to minimise weight, whilst maximising protection against bad weather conditions. Like the jacket, the Mondial trouser is laminated and fully lined too expertly designed with the sole purpose of keeping the rider dry and warm! The Mondial Advanced Suit is CE approved, abrasion resistant and is perfectly safe to use on the road. The jacket comes with removable shoulder and elbow protection whilst pants come with essential knee and hip armour.

"The Hypermotard 950 is my favourite bikes in production currently for a number of reasons! "The immense amount of torque the engine produces (80% Torque available at 3000RPM), the pops and bangs that the Termignoni end cans create when you roll off the throttle (an accessory fitted exclusively on our demo model) and the very natural riding position that still feels very sporty (I'm 6ft. 3" and sometimes struggle with the riding position of sports bikes when out on the roads)! The impressive TFT screen taken from the Panigale V4 and the powerful Brembo brakes are also huge 'pros'. "I'm a big fan of the downpipes which look a lot like the distinctive downpipes of the Ducati 916 and would personally choose to fit a DQS up/down quickshifter (which does in fact come as standard on the SP version) and some radiator guards - which are fairly vulnerable because of the type of bike it is. "The Hypermotard is an extremely agile bike making both A-roads and town rides effortless and most importantly (to me) fun! We will soon have the SP version as a demo bike here at Laguna Performance Centre, so it will be interesting to see the difference in the Marzocchi and hlins suspension with 20mm higher ride height on the SP, lighter Marchesini forged wheels, DQS up/down quickshifter and finally the Pirelli Diablo SuperCorsa SP tyres!" Adam took the Hypermotard on a 50 mile round trip, accompanied by our V2 demo, from our Laguna Performance Centre store in Ashford, heading down the A20, through Sandling towards the Hythe coastline - stopping off at The Little Fish Shop on The Esplanade for some good old fish and chips along the way.

Nearly 60 years later, in 2017, the 100 millionth Super Cub was built, making it the most popular motor vehicle the world has ever seen. And along the way the Super Cubs simple attributes of style, reliability, frugality and sheer usability have never gone out of fashion; it has quietly achieved exactly what Soichiro and Takeo wanted - to get people mobile and keep them mobile.

Imagine, its the weekend, the sun is shining and its unusually warm for this time of year. Youve got your kit on, wheeled your bike out of the garage only to be met with sheer disappointment and a completely flat battery. Its the stuff of nightmares. Whether you ride all-year round or store your bike during the winter months, freezing temperatures (and lack of usage) is hard on a battery, so winter maintenance is important. You may have noticed that the cold weather conditions greatly affect your motorcycle battery in a negative way thats where the award-winning OptiMate 4 comes in. This model can revive some dead batteries, as well as maintain healthy ones. Firstly, it performs a test to check the condition of the battery, as well as make sure everythings connected correctly. If its sulphated or severely discharged, the recovery mode uses 16V or up to 22V, before a low-voltage pulse puts the pack into a chargeable state. Once the battery is ready to be charged, 1A is delivered until it reaches 14.3V, before a pulsed current gets the cells to full charge. The OptiMate then checks the battery with a series of tests for half an hour ensuring a charge can be held before charging at 13.6V for 30mins. After that, its a constant test/charge cycle that can be left on as long as you need. Plug in it and forget about it. The lights on the display panel will tell you what the charger is doing in terms of cycle, what the health of your battery is and what current the OptiMate 4 is sending to the battery. Its a simple, safe and convenient process that will keep your battery fully functioning and ready for your next ride, no matter what time of year is it. The OptiMate 4 is available in-store for 59.99. Pop in today and visit our parts & service counter to secure yours!

Wed, 29 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT https://www.laguna.co.uk/news/laguna-triumph-top-winter-maintenance-tips%2521 Our Top Winter Maintenance Tips Whether your new to two wheels or a long-time motorcycle veteran, its never too late to learn the basics of maintaining your motorcycle especially during the winter months! Here, we share our two top tips with you that will help to avoid any corrosion-induced disasters. TIP 1: Chain maintenance is a must! One of the easiest maintenance tasks that you can do yourself is maintaining your chain. As well as protecting again corrosion, it can also provide a smoother and quieter ride. Your personal riding style, weather conditions and load can all determine how often you should maintain your chain as a general guide, its a good idea to check the chain every 300-600 miles for signs of wear, correct level of tension, and sufficient lubrication. What is Motul? Motul Chain Clean is a chain cleaner with a non-chlorine formula and an extremely powerful degreasing agent which removes crusted residues. It works on all types of motorcycle chains to help remove various build-up. Having a dry and clean chain is ideal for putting on chain lube later. Over time, oil, dust, and work materials will blog together and form pasty clumps on your chain these can be abrasive, increasing wear and generally shortening the service life of the entire chain kit! Thats where Motul comes in! How to use Motul? To begin, place the motorcycle on the main stand. Your motorcycle should be turned off. You can use an assembly stand if your motorcycle only has a side stand. As a precaution before you begin, cover your rear disc brake to prevent lube from getting on it, especially if this is your first time. A simple cardboard box will work. To apply the chain clean, you will need to turn your rear wheel to rotate the chain. If your motorcycle is on its side stand, wheel turning aids are available, consult your local shop for a recommendation. To avoid any stains and to protect the environment, you may want to place an oil pan or large piece of cardboard underneath the chain before you begin. Once youre ready to start, turn the rear wheel with your hand to set the chain in motion. Spray the links of the chain on all sides with Motul Chain Clean. Keep spraying and turning the rear wheel until all the links are covered with the chain cleaner. After spraying, leave the cleaner to soak in briefly, then take a chain grunge brush (an old toothbrush can also work) and gently clean the links on all sides. Dont use a brush made of steel wire or similar material because it could damage the ring seal between the link, causing grease to leak. After brushing away most of the dirt and grime, take a lint-free cloth and wipe the chain with it. If there are still additional grime at specific points, repeat the process and target the affected areas. Make sure the chain is completely dry before you begin applying chain lube. TIP 2: ACF-50 is King! Firstly, what is ACF-50? Simply, when used correctly, Anti-Corrosion Formula is an active ultra-thin, clear film that kills any existing corrosion cells and will protect your motorcycle against any new corrosion forming. And the best thing? One application can last up to 12 months (on areas such as switches, or under the tank and seat)! Much more exposed areas may need treating more regularly throughout the year for best results. If youre a committed winter warrior and ride all year round, ACF-50 acts as an excellent lubricant and penetrant (without loosening any structural attachments) its even approved for use on electrics and engines! If youre a fair-weather rider and your bike goes into hibernation during the winter months, applying ACF-50 will prevent any moisture induced damage. The treatment will actively eject any moisture that has edged into any crevices moisture trapped in these gaps wouldnt be able to freely evaporate on its own and will thereby trigger the corrosion process! How to ACF-50? Most importantly, make sure your motorcycle is well cleaned! The treatment is most effective when used on dirt, mud and salt-free areas. Secondly, it is important to remember that a little ACF-50 goes a long way! So, keep a rag handy to soak up any excess you can also use the rag to help spread the product. Use ACF-50 anywhere except the brakes! If used on the exhaust, you will notice smoke on the first start up post-treatment the treatment will begin to burn off the down pipes, but it will still slow the corrosion process. With a no-water formula, you can spray directly into the electrical joints and components this will prevent any corrosion induced failures. Returned from a winter ride with your bike covered in salt and dirt? No problem! A quick wash off and the dirt is gone, whilst the bike remains protected against corrosion. As weve mentioned, one treatment can last up to 12 months! You can tell if the treatment is still active as water will bead on contact you can then re-treat, as required. Expertly treating your motorcycle with ACF-50 is a service we offer, here at Laguna Triumph. Speak to one of our team to find out more. Fun fact: Did you know that ACF-50 was originally produced to protect aircrafts from existing and new corrosion? Which means that it has been tested to meet incredible high standards and is even used by the US Navy on the jets on their aircraft carriers!
