Quick pic of the new F800 GS, an all new model from BMW.
Long travel suspension and a rugged build…looks capable off-road and obviously easier to handle for novices when off-roading on gravel trails etc.
No word on UK price as yet, should be around £8000 we reckon, with a range of upgrades available at the usual [...]

Milan Show; Bimota DB7
Just beautiful, really unique.

No definite word on the Stelvio’s price as yet, probably in the £9000 region.

On the upside it takes just two and a half hours to recharge its batteries, which is quite convenient…better than my Samsung phone anyway.
But is the [...]
