Jono & Aoife say THANK YOU for the incredible generosity of the motorcycling community.
An apology: Although the functioning of the Christmas Party Booking form was checked and data submitted recorded, some members received an error message. My fault, I applied the wrong function. It’s working now. Many thanks to all those members who got in touch to let me know and it’s all fixed now. If you see an error on the website, or in your weekly newsletter, you can always contact me and I will be happy to resolve the problem. Thanks for your patience and understanding, it is very much appreciated. Paul.
The past week in motorcycling has been packed with big launches, global expansion, and new opportunities for young riders — all centred around EICMA 2025 in Milan, the world’s largest motorcycle show.
British brand Norton Motorcycles, now owned by India’s TVS Motor Company, revealed four new models as part of its revival strategy, mixing British craftsmanship with modern tech. Meanwhile, Chinese manufacturer BENDA made waves with three new cruisers debuting in Europe, signalling fresh competition and more affordable options for new riders. In these very hard economic times it’s a very welcome development for the motorcycling community.
Another headline came from Hero MotoCorp, the world’s largest motorcycle manufacturer, confirming its entry into the UK market through a partnership with MotoGB. Its new “Hunk 440” will lead the charge, supported by more than 25 dealerships nationwide. This move could make it easier — and cheaper — for young UK riders to get their first motorcycle.
Nearly half of motorists support pay-per-mile road use. This is likely to penalise businesses, particularly SMEs, those with limited incomes, young people just starting out in life and those using public transport. Anyone who believes that it will make personal travel more economical is ignoring the reality of how governments and the Civil Service determine what we can afford to pay. Most of the money currently collected via fuel duty, road fund licensing and vat on sales and repair goes to general taxation, rather than being spent on improving highway infrastructure and developing safer road use.
On the safety front, the National Young Rider Forum (NYRF) continues to highlight how 16- to 24-year-olds engage with riding, focusing on safety gear, training, and digital awareness. Their insights remind manufacturers and policymakers that young riders are the future of the industry, not just a marketing segment.
Market conditions, however, remain tough. UK motorcycle registrations are still down by roughly 20–30% year-on-year, according to Bennetts BikeSocial, reflecting broader cost-of-living pressures and slowing sales. This could mean sharper deals for buyers, but also leaner times for smaller dealerships.
Looking ahead, the surge of 2026 model previews and the arrival of budget-friendly international brands could make 2025–26 a strong period for first-time buyers. The key takeaway? Motorcycling is evolving fast — with innovation, affordability and safety now working together to keep the next generation of riders firmly in the saddle. You only need a small big to go on a big adventure. This week read about crossing the Sahara desert on a 24-year-old Honda C90!
Group riding presents its own challenges. Whilst their are no reported increases in accidents reported during group riding in the UK, Victoria Police (Australia) report a rate rise. As ‘Thinking Bikers’, when reading such reports, it pays us to reflect on our own riding. SAM riders follow the IAM Guidance for advanced riders. It’s worth a read, just to remind ourselves we are doing the safest riding possible. Just a thought!
Our Observers are presented with every kind of riding problem from riders who come to us for quality assured post-test advanced training. Two that have arisen this week are returning to riding after a crash and anxiety about turning into corners. There are many strategies that our Observers use to reduce fear, manage anxiety and build confidence. Ride safe and happy reading!
Reminder: The IAM RoadSmart AGM will take place on the 19th November 2025 where there will be voting on changes to membership fees, the Articles of Association, membership rights, appointment and removal of both members and Trustees. These are important matters that have mainly been discussed in meetings. There are documents in your online membership account that have some information. You may not think that you membership voice counts, or that others will give your views, but you have to be in a meeting to be heard. You can join the AGM meeting, online, by logging in to your membership account and navigating to the AGM page. Thank you.
Your success is our success!
Advanced riders are safer road users, ride longer, rider further, meet more people and enjoy a healthier, happier life!

Nearly half of UK drivers (49%) believe that a pay-per-mile road tax system would be a fairer way to charge motorists than the current Vehicle Excise Duty (VED)
Nearly half of UK drivers (49%) believe that a pay-per-mile road tax system would be a fairer way to charge motorists according to new research.
The research also found that fairness is top of mind for most motorists, with more than half (51%) believing all motorists should pay the same rate per mile regardless of fuel type. Read more
The Auto-Cycle Union (ACU) is pleased to confirm the appointment of Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance as its new insurance provider – a move that brings increased value and strengthened protection for riders, organisers and officials across motorcycle sport.
The change comes into effect from 1 November 2025 and follows an extensive two-year review of safety management and insurance arrangements across all ACU-permitted activities.
Through this important work, the ACU has updated its risk assessments to align with Health and Safety Executive guidance and established a closer collaboration with its long-standing insurance broker, Lockton. This has enabled the ACU to gain unprecedented access to the insurance market and leverage its unique position as the national governing body for British motorcycle sport. Read more
After another phenomenal year both on and off the track, we look back at True Heroes Racing’s highlights of the season with founder and principal Phil Spencer.
This year, the team competed in the Superbike Superstock 1000 and the BMW F900R Cup competitions as part of the British Superbike Championship (BSB) series. Here we ask Spencer about the top moments from the 2025 campaign.
What are the highlights of the season, on and off the track? Read more
Even more key 2025 machines have been given the R&G makeover, with the Hampshire-based crash protection specialist unveiling a host of products for the latest Suzuki GSX-8T, Ducati Multistrada V2 and Honda NC750X, as well as additional lines for the Ducati Panigale V2(S) and Yamaha Ténéré 700.
Always eager to ensure riders can protect their machines from the moment they ride away from the dealer, R&G has announced three new motorcycles to its ever-expanding range. First is the retro-inspired Suzuki GSX-8T, which receives essential crash protection upgrades such as the R&G Engine Case Covers, Aero Crash Protection and Bar End Sliders. With styling a core aspect of the bike, R&G has also created one of its popular Tail Tidies, allowing owners to clean up the rear with a sleek plate holder. Read more
Yamaha has confirmed it plans to race its new R7 in the upcoming Sportbike World Championship.
The new WorldSPB series is completely new for 2026, as it replaces the outdated Supersport 300 class which had previously been dominated by two brands in particular: Yamaha and Kawasaki.
The Supersport 300 championship was similar to that of the Moto3 class, as in it was aimed at young riders looking to move through the ranks in the hope of one day racing WorldSBK.
The idea behind the Sportbike World Championship is no different really, it’s just that those riders will now be using more powerful machinery. Read more
The UK motorcycle market is stumbling its way toward winter, and while there are small signs of recovery, the overall picture remains murky. Registrations for October were down 12.1 per cent compared to the same month last year, though that’s a slight improvement on the year-to-date drop of 14.6 per cent. The total for the month was down 9 per cent, according to the latest figures from the Motorcycle Industry Association (MCIA).
Still, the tone from within the industry is one of cautious optimism — if you squint hard enough.
“It is positive that the market is steadily improving year to date,” said Symon Cook, Head of the National Motorcycle Dealers Association (NMDA). “However, ahead of the Budget on 26 November, the motorcycle industry has received little clarity or support.”
The frustration in this quote is hard to miss. With government attention elsewhere and talk of tax rises in the upcoming Budget, many in the sector are wondering whether motorcycles have simply been forgotten altogether. “More needs to be done by the Government to help the sector, lest we risk being forgotten,” he added. “With talks of tax increases, they could seriously affect the new motorcycle market.”
It’s a fair point. In a cost-of-living crisis, with insurance premiums climbing and running costs rising, another tax hike could be the last thing dealers and riders need. Yet, despite these headwinds, Cook remains pragmatic: “Dealers should remain positive that the year-to-date performance is steadily improving compared to the lacklustre start to 2025.” Read more
Rider Health & Safety
Do you ride a motorcycle or know someone who does? If so, you’ll know that riding a motorcycle has some risks. In fact, statistics show that motorcyclists are much more likely to be involved in a serious or fatal accident than car drivers. This is why it’s important to take steps to reduce the risks and the Biker I.C.E. Card is one of the most effective solutions available.
The Biker I.C.E. Card is a simple, yet vital tool. It contains your contact details and essential medical information. In the event of an accident, emergency services staff can quickly access this information to help them decide on the right treatment for you. By carrying a Biker I.C.E. Card, you can ensure that emergency services staff have the information they need to take account of any ongoing health problems you have and any current treatments that you are receiving. This can make their job easier and your emergency care safer. Read more...
Schuberth has released details on the C5 ANC, a new modular touring helmet that incorporates Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology developed in collaboration with Cardo Systems. The helmet is built on the C5 platform, adding targeted noise reduction. Schuberth positions the C5 ANC as the new benchmark for premium modular touring helmets, targeting commuters and long-haul riders who log 12,000+ miles annually and demand measurable reductions in acoustic fatigue without sacrificing safety or communication clarity.

Motorcyclists pulled over during routine traffic stops are being given high-visibility backpacks, tabards, and stickers to help keep them safe during the winter months.
Officers from our Roads Policing Unit are using everyday interactions with bikers to highlight the dangers of riding in winter and the importance of being seen.
Working alongside the nationwide Think Bike initiative from the Shiny Side Up Partnership, officers will be handing out safety items during standard vehicle and driver checks.
The campaign forms part of Operation Dark Night – a national initiative aimed at educating road users about the increased risks posed by darker days and longer nights.
PC Tom Rowlands said: “We know that most motorcyclists are responsible and invest significant sums in high-tech gear to keep themselves safe.
“We also know, however, that some are reluctant to wear reflective vests or add reflective elements to expensive leathers.
“Others may be younger, less experienced, and potentially riding as couriers in the gig economy.
“No matter what their level of experience, if they’re out and about on two wheels, we want to do all we can to keep them safe.
“These backpacks are simple, cost-effective, and easily removable ways to make riders more visible on the darker nights and mornings we see at this time of year.”
The number of riders killed or seriously injured on Nottinghamshire’s roads rose by 25 per cent in 2024 – a trend we are keen to reverse.
With riders facing additional risks from other road users during the hours of darkness, it is hoped that these simple measures to boost visibility will help improve safety.
Detective Inspector Jamie Moore, head of roads policing, added: “For obvious reasons, most of the people we pull over aren’t that pleased to meet us.
“However, if you’re riding in the county over the next couple of months and come into contact with our officers, it’s likely you’ll also walk away with a little something from us to help keep you safe.”

I spent most of my teenage and young adult years living in the US state of Minnesota, where temperatures stay below zero for months at a time (the coldest temp ever recorded in MN was -51ºC, back in 1996), and the bulk of what I learned about surviving the cold there can be reduced to these two phrases: “Cotton is rotten” and “Dress in layers.”
Oxford products has taken both mantras to heart and developed its new Atmos layering system, designed to keep year-round riders warm during the miserable months. Read more
When I’m out with my mates I struggle to pick up on what they’re saying as well as I used to, and as I write this article I have a gentle hissing in my ears; it’s there all the time, and it’s because I haven’t always worn earplugs since I bought my first motorcycle in 1996 (I do now).
We’re going to look at the science to make sure you don’t end up permanently damaging YOUR hearing and ask what are the best earplugs? Read more
As motorcyclists, we live and die by the gear we wear. Literally. Without armored jackets, pants, gloves, and boots, we’re basically the squids we make fun of on Reddit who wear tank tops, shorts, and sandals while doing Mach Jesus on a Gixxer. Armor is everything in terms of keeping your ass out of the ER, looking for a skin graft or titanium plates in your femur.
It isn’t the end-all, be-all by any stretch of the imagination, but it goes a long way toward you sticking around to see your kids, future kids, or dogs grow up. Armor is everything. Read more
Adventure & Touring
As I roll towards the edge of the canyon it feels like a stage curtain is rising, revealing the opera unfolding below. Shafer Trail drops down into the valley with a series of exposed switchbacks, like the walls of a huge amphitheater, setting the scene for the surreal world I am about to enter. Here, the earth reaches up to cradle me in its sprawling hands on the crumbling edge of the canyon’s rim.
A great motorcycle ride often unfolds in chapters, allowing you to move through yourself as you move through the landscape. You change, reflect, grow and expand as you overcome obstacles, marvel at the vistas, and emerge from the experience subtly transformed. For 100 miles through one of the American West’s harshest deserts, this is what the White Rim Trail does—offering a moment to test yourself against edges and abysses, marvel at the raw beauty of the canyons, and escape into an era lost in time.

On the edge of the Sahara sits Marrakech, a gateway city surrounded by mountains, spanning the end and beginning of two worlds, where West African and Saharan cultures blend with the traditions of their North African neighbors.
I rode from England to Marrakech on a 24-year-old moped, a Honda C90. It took two and a half months and it felt like a milestone to arrive in Marrakech—the last hub of familiar culture, where things seemed exotic and easy, yet a place where I could still easily meet fellow Europeans. My girlfriend had flown in for a week, adding to my sense of comfort before I ventured out into the sands of the great unknown to ride across the Sahara.
My anxiety had been building in the month before I attempted to traverse the desert. I thought about breakdowns, water shortages, running out of petrol, miles of solitude, and Saharan jihadists. I tried unsuccessfully to find travel partners. When the time came for my girlfriend to return to England, the last time I would see her for the better part of a year, I experienced one of the loneliest moments of my life.
Alone, riddled with doubt and fear, sitting on the bed where we’d nested over the previous week, my heart felt raw now that my love was gone. I sat there, lonesome beyond anything I’d known before, about to ride further into my fear.
On the second day after leaving Marrakech, I arrived at the edge of the desert—a land called Hammada, a barren and seemingly endless plain of rocks and sand where the dwindling Atlas Mountains further diminish as the road stretches out of sight. Vehicles became scarcer, as did people and dwellings, yet as human presence vanished, the forces of nature became more dominant.
As my wheels slowly put the miles behind me, the wind picked up. The locals call the wind “Sirocco,” and I quickly understood why it was looked upon as something that deserved a name. It transforms the landscape. Read more
History & Custom
Continuing its fine tradition of working with the world’s leading custom motorcycle builders, Royal Enfield has just partnered up with our man in Taiwan, Winston Yeh at Rough Crafts. Tasked with customizing a brand new Royal Enfield Shotgun 650, he’s delivered a menacing sports cruiser with neo-futuristic underpinnings—simultaneously providing the brand with a template for their own limited edition model.
Winston is no stranger to Royal Enfield’s modern 650 platform. Seven years ago, he transformed a Continental GT 650 into a sporty café racer dubbed ‘Midas Royale.’ That build married the Continental GT’s retro appeal with Rough Crafts’ signature sculpted bodywork, black finishes, and gold accents.

ACEM claim sales slump due to Euro 5+ pre-registrations
Last week I looked at a story published on Friday October 24 by the ‘Sunderland Magazine’. It was titled:
“The two-wheeled revival: How cost, culture, and freedom are driving Britain’s motorcycle boom.”
The article claimed it was “green policies” driving this mythical boom. As I explained last week, the actual data – released by the Motorcycle Industry Association (MCIA) every month – shows new bike registrations are down 15% on last year. It was so fanciful, I suspected that the MCIA had actually written the story.
But it’s not just the UK that’s suffering. Motorcycle sales are down right across Europe. Read more
Fight the Fear: “I can’t speed up” Part 2
This is the second of two articles, which together make the fourth in a series aimed at fixing problems that arise when riding. Before I get stuck in, I’ll just remind readers these articles are designed to help riders who are having some very specific problems. Whilst issues like these should be covered on basic training, sometimes surprisingly basic riding issues DO slip through the net. And occasionally similar problems can affect even very experienced riders if they’ve experienced a near-miss or a crash.
The topic is the reluctance to cope with faster-moving traffic by speeding up that some riders experience. Lacking confidence and riding below the flow of traffic isn’t just awkward – it can make us vulnerable as other road users crowd our space or overtake badly. But more than that, the stress of having a queue of traffic behind us – even the fear of those scary overtakes – erodes the fun that we should be having. Read more
Suzuki’s SV V-twin returns – the engine that just won’t die
Back in November 2022 in Elevenses I talked about the imminent demise of the Suzuki’s 650 v twin design, a much-loved engine that first appeared right at the end of the 20th century first in the SV650 and then in the 650 V-Strom.
The SV badge first appeared back in 1999, and the original SV650 quickly earned a reputation as one of the best all-round motorcycles of its era – reliable, affordable, and surprisingly capable on both road and track.
Over the years it became a cult favourite, loved by commuters and new riders alike, and as it soldiered on as the company’s middle weight motor as it passed through three major design updates. Read more
Online with Devon Advanced Motorcyclists
Last night I was hosting forty-odd members of Devon Advanced Motorcyclists for a presentation. As you’ve probably guessed, they weren’t all crowded round my kitchen table, but over 40 of the group turned out online to watch me deliver my ‘What’s NOT in RoadCraft’ talk.
I created that particular presentation in answer to a request by TVAM – I think it was late last year. It was well-received by that group, and it seems word has begun to get around about the talk, as I’ve not only delivered it to Devon, but I’m scheduled for a rider development day in Hampshire where I’ll be dropping that particular talk too.

Has it been a while since you passed your Advanced test? 
IAM RoadSmart Director of Policy and Standards Nicholas Lyes said: “This important research confirms that headlight glare is a major issue for drivers and something that should be taken seriously. While focus will be on amending international regulations of new vehicles, that doesn’t solve the issue with those cars on the roads today. The MOT test does provide for inspections of lights including intensity, but whether this is providing adequate safeguards for other motorists is debatable. In the meantime, drivers should keep their headlights clean and check their headlight settings to avoid giving others an uncomfortable night time journey.” Read more

ACEM
The campaign concluded with an immersive experience where riders and journalists put post-license training into practice on two wheels.
Milan (Italy) | 6 November 2025
Riders and journalists shared the ride and tested their skills at EICMA during the closing of Learn – Ride – Enjoy – Repeat, the European campaign by the European Association of Motorcycle Manufacturers (ACEM) and the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM), aimed at encouraging both novice and experienced riders to pursue high-quality, voluntary motorcycle training.
In Milan, the final event turned that message into an experience. Under the guidance of certified Federazione Motociclistica Italiana trainers, participants took part in demo rides and advanced exercises, including alternating slaloms, controlled acceleration and braking, and smooth wide turns, all designed to underline the benefits of post-license training. The highlight of the event was sharing the ride with James Toseland, two-time World Superbike champion, offering a unique, hands-on experience of how refined techniques elevate every ride. Read more

National Motorcyclists Council
The National Motorcyclists Council (NMC) used the opportunity of the National Road Safety Conference 2025 on the 4th November to present a fresh approach to how motorcycle safety policy is considered by the Government and other authorities. At this flagship event, organised by Road Safety GB (RSGB), the NMC’s Craig Carey-Clinch and Saul Jeavons from the Transafe Network, co-presented ideas on how transport policy can be used to create a ‘virtuous circle’ of motorcycle safety which can help further drive down casualty figures. The session, entitled Motorcycle Safety – Building the Momentum, explored themes raised at the RSGB motorcycle conference last February and was well attended by several organisations and individuals, including from the Government.

Every first Thursday in November, National Men Make Dinner Day invites men to take charge of the evening meal—no BBQs, no takeaways, and no excuses. It’s a light-hearted nudge to get more men into the kitchen, especially those who usually leave the cooking to someone else.
This year, we’re giving it a motorcycling twist. Picture this: your partner heads out for a solo autumn ride, soaking up the golden leaves and crisp air, while you stay back and tackle dinner duty.
