Road Rider Bike Guide

Editor Note

2022 LOOKING GOOD • From the eclectic Husqvarna Norden to hard-core bikes like the DesertX to a machine begging to be roadraced like the Yamaha R7, 2022 is looking good for interesting new bikes.

SPORT • It’s been said motorcycling racing was invented as soon as the second ever motorcycle was built. We love to ride fast and compete. While racing a good sportsbike is an adrenalin rush like no other, simply riding a motorcycle fast is a special kind of buzz. These bikes are designed for this – uncompromisingly. Ridden on a track or a good winding road and you’ll be a modern-day warrior.

NAKED • Get the wind in your face. Raw motorcycling can be as fun as it gets, with natural air conditioning.

RETRO NAKED • The look, the style, no stress. More reliable, safer and often much, much nicer to ride than bikes from former geneerations, Retro nakeds offer fun, reliability, low maintenance and good performance.

More rides, more savings with this SPECIAL OFFER

SPORTS TOURING • Sportsbike handling with long distance comfort. It’s the Holy Grail of so many road riders looking for fun in the twisties and touring bike convenience. Manufacturers have been trying to square this circle for decades, and each year they get a little closer. Most of the bikes here are good for two up riding and can accept luggage for longer rides. All will be fun onn a winding road.

CRUISERS • Time to Head Out on the Highway? You want a cruiser, the basis for a customised machine you can make your own, one with style, poise and a low seat.

TOURERS • Head out on the highway… eat the miles, see the world. A touring bike is comfortable all day with the grunt to make life easy, from cruising to overtaking effortlessly. Add in a passenger and lots of luggage to make life even better on the road.

ADVENTURE • From sports adventure machines designed primarily for blacktop but capable of taking on limited off-road duties, to big dirt bikes designed primarily for off-road touring, modern adventure bikes come in a huge range of sizes, styles and prices. Common to them all is an ethos of getting out there and seeing what’s over the horizon.

SUPERMOTO • With their dirt-bike heritage and road-based wheels, tyres and brakes, Supermotos are agile, quick and heaps of fun. You can race them, commute on them and go nuts on them.
