@dan__sutherland from @motorcyclenews is back for more Evotech treatment, this time on his long-term loaner, the fantastic Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS. We’ve kitted it out with track-day essentials: a brake lever guard and radiator guard. The looks are dialled in with a tail tidy, plus a carbon fibre flyscreen to help cut wind resistance. Level up your Speed Triple, head to the website today: /pages/triumph-speed-triple #motorcyclenews #triumph #triumphspeedtriple #speedtriple

Had a super little time sampling the new @metzelermoto Sportec 01 RS sporty road and trackday tyre. Don’t be fooled by the heavier tread pattern, this is a brilliant option for the most enthusiastic of riders. You can read the full review on motorcyclenews.com now, with a write-up in print very soon 🗞️ #mcn #trackday #triumph #streetriple

It’s time for the launch of the Metzeler Sportec 01 & 01RS. We’re at Monteblanco Circuit to sample the RS this morning, with a road ride on the 01 this afternoon. This duo will replace the M9RR and Racetec RR K3 in the range, however both of those will remain on sale in the UK for now. Full verdicts coming soon! 📝 #mcn #metzeler #tyrelaunch

Introducing the Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS, which I am very pleased to announce I will be running as a long-term test bike for @motorcyclenews across 2026 🏁 I’ve had the keys for a week, and managed to squeeze in around 300 miles and we’re already getting on a treat! I’ve got plenty of plans in the pipeline for this brute, with my first update arriving the next couple of weeks! #triumph #speedtriple #mcn #motorcyclenews

A few weeks ago, I popped over to Bologna for an exclusive first look at the stunning new Ducati Superleggera V4 Centenario. Headline figures include a 243.6bhp output in track trim, with a wet weight of 167kg without fuel. On the road, you’ll have to make do with 224.9bhp and 173kg - that’s 3kg less than a standard Ducati Scrambler 🤯 Head to motorcyclenews.com for the full story, and be sure to visit our YouTube channel for a 20min video including interviews with the team that built it 🏁 #ducati #superleggera #mcn #superbike

Very sad to report that the final update on my time with the Yamaha R9 can be found in the current issue of @motorcyclenews 😭 It’s been incredibly reliable, rewarding, and - despite what the internet might tell you - it absolutely does work as a modern supersport motorcycle. I wouldn’t mind a bit more punch at the bottom end, and some of the paint was a touch thin, but it put up with commuting, trackdays, a tour, and even a spot of hill climb action. No warning lights, no faff, just reliable fun. I’ll miss it a great deal. #mcn #yamaha #r9 #motorcycle

With the roads dry for once, it would be rude not to! Merry Christmas all 🎄 Here’s to another year of adventures 🤗 Hope Santa brings you all lots of lovely things. #christmas #lincolncathedral #royalenfieldclassic350 #royalenfield #motorbike

Another #EICMA show done and dusted. Not a blockbuster year for many (unsurprising given last year’s shift to Euro5+), but hugely interesting to see the rapid innovation and development now coming from China and India. Bike of the show has to go to the CFMoto V4 SR-RR concept - not something I would’ve said a few years ago! We return with a hefty bank of exclusive interviews and insight, ready for you to read in @motorcyclenews very soon. Next stop, MCL! #milan #motorcycle #mcn #bikeshow
