Motorcycle Sport & Leisure

Nov 01 2024
Magazine

Motorcycle Sport & Leisure is a monthly 116 page full colour magazine covering all aspects of modern leisure bike riding. New bike reviews, product news and events add to the unique mix of touring features and long term road tests.

Mists and mellow fruitfulness • Seasons come, and seasons go. And, as motorcyclists, each one brings us a new focus and new challenges

MOTORCYCLE SPORT & LEISURE

News • Need to know ◆ New models ◆ Industry info

(Sub)Urban Warrior • As it closes in on manufacturing one million motorcycles in a calendar year for the first time, Royal Enfield is transitioning from retro models distantly derived from all its Anglo-Indian yesterdays, to a range of thoroughly modern middleweight machines appealing to a younger audience

Products

Lithe, Latin and lovely • Don’t be fooled, the RS457 isn’t just a chopped-up RS660, the 457 is entirely different with its own engine, chassis, bodywork and rider aids aimed at the highly competitive A2 license category, designed to attract new riders to the famous Italian brand

The Naked Extrovert • Once thought to dominate only the smaller capacity learner and commuter machinery, bikes from the Far East are now expanding into the upper realms of tourers, adventure bikes and sports nakeds…

Letters

Top five tips to choose the perfect helmet… • Picking the right lid goes beyond simply deciding which design you like best, but where do you start?

Tyre attack! MotoGymkhana on adventure tyres • One of the great joys of motorcycling is the vast array of activities that can be undertaken on bikes, and you don’t even have to have a different bike for different activities, something that we’ve always been really interested in and keen to promote.

Home from Indiana AKA Part Two • At the end of last month’s column, I was ill with something like a very bad head cold. I’d first felt ill in Auburn, Indiana, on Sunday, June 9, and rode to my niece Alana’s home in Indianapolis, a tedious 140 miles on the interstate

EXMOOR EXPLORER • Fancy honing your adventure riding skills in the stunning surrounds of Exmoor National Park? The Honda Adventure Centre’s got you covered

Ireland and NW 200 • There are few things better in life than getting up in the morning, packing your stuff on a bike and heading off down the road

Legal Eagle • MSL’s resident legal expert sheds some light on motorcycling law

BACK IN THE DAY... • MSL columnist Maynard Hershon picks his favourite articles from the long history of this magazine

PULL THE OTHER ONE Everything you need to know about control cables on your motorcycle • Control cables have formed a vital link between man and machine ever since the first motorcycles rolled out of workshops and factories 120 years ago. In fact, they’ve been around for so long that most of us won’t give them a second thought, until they seize up completely or snap

Jack of all trades • It’s all too easy to assume that a bike that is capable of covering many different disciplines isn’t going to be especially good at any one. Say hello to the 1290 Super Adventure!

Blending analogue past with digital present • There are two ways to look at Yamaha’s striking new retro XSR900 GP. It either ships you back to the 1980s and 1990s when Yamaha’s Marlboro-liveried YZR500 V4 ruled the last great two-stroke era of grand prix racing, or it doesn’t. I suppose it depends on your age and how long you have loved everything two wheels

The art of navigation • Getting lost may be an adventure, but it’s not always fun…

Bridge to Staircase • An appointment with the Two Devils: An adventurous ride through the middle of Wales

THE MONDAY MAFIA RIDES THE CHATTO CREEK 800 • 500 miles in a day in the southern hemisphere...
