2016 – The Best bits – The Bike Reviews

Our forum contributors have been out and on a good variety of stuff this year and we had reviews on everything from a CCM450, to a very honest appraisal of a Triumph TT600, through to the impressive Indian Springfield and the electric Energica from Italy.

Click on the writing in bold above the picture to be taken to the review of a particular bike…

Thanks to Elissemo, markworrall and Speedy

The Big E tries Honda re-launch of the iconic ‘Africa Twin’ – he loved it!

Speedy checks out the very speedy GSXS1000 Suzuki

I really enjoyed trying the impressive XSR900, my favourite of the MT-09 bikes launched by Yamaha in recent times

The cutting edge MT-10 was a great bike to ride too, very tempted to px my MV

An interesting insight into the bike with which Triumph bravely took the fight to Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki on their home ground…the 600 sports bike

All the adventure bike that you actually NEED? The CCM450 as evaluated by the insightful Elissemo

Perhaps the most different bike tested this year and a glimpse into how biking might evolve in future years…the Energica E90

I found my myself quite smitten with this slice of American apple pie

The Octane had a sporting edge for a bike aimed at the cruiser market

A whole new biking experience for me, the 111 Springfield. You have to like a bike that shares it’s name with a rifle!

Hope you found these ‘real riders’ reviews of interest. If you did give each one a ‘Like’ on FB, or share on your Twitter feed. Better still if you have a bike write a review of it for the forum and others share your thoughts and experiences on or with your machine. Same goes for any demo bikes you ride!

Anyway, I am looking forward to trying a few more bikes in 2017!

The 2015 reviews are here if you still need more reading matter!
