Ah, summer. Warm tarmac. Bustling hedgerows. Blue skies and proper lean angle. This special issue is a celebration of summertime on two wheels – from essential tips for perfect sunny rides and the expert word on this year’s unmissable events, to the extreme skills to take your season to the next level. We’ve got this summer’s must-ride bikes too, including the first comparison test with Honda’s smash-hit GB350S, a three-day epic on Triumph’s brilliant Tiger Sport 800, and a first taste of Yamaha’s new R9.
Just in case this isn’t enough, we also sneak inside a secret HRC warehouse in the USA, relive the chaos of endurance racing in the 1980s with Team Bike, go hunting for classics in Italy, and explore a wild 28-valve 500cc V4… plus, all the insight, knowledge and belly laughs you can only get from Britain’s best-selling motorcycle magazine.
