Editorial
The best Christmas present for the SAM charity is advanced rider passes and UK Government spending on safer roads. Our team of unpaid highly skilled, volunteer trainers took a well-deserved day off last Saturday. No, they didn’t stay at home, they went riding. We thank them for their unwavering dedication and selfless devotion to helping bikers in our community become advanced riders. They ended the year with a series of advanced rider test passes. Thank you from all the members of the SAM charity – you are our heroes!
A really welcome development is the UK Government’s £7.3m for road repairs. Yorkshire and Humberside get £500m. The East of England is generously awarded £1.2m. The money has been warmly welcomed by all road safety organisation. With the exception of MAG (Motorcycle Action Group), most road safety organisations have been reminding us to behave ourselves and not drink and drive over the festive season. We shall see whether the offending figures change by mid-2026.
There were panicked headlines this week that the “EU ‘ditching’ 2035 (9 years to go!) diesel and petrol vehicles ban”. It’s actually been rescheduled to 2040. Pressure from manufacturers, technical development challenges, a lack of market growth from wary consumers with vehicle purchase, maintenance and repair costs restricting purchasing. Hybrid vehicles continue to grow rapidly, now standing at 15% of the UK market. In Sept 2025 Sales grew 23.5% year on year. 2024/2025 sales grew 14-15%. Change is more likely to be incremental than revolutionary!
The past week in motorcycling has been a mix of new‑bike excitement, racing shake‑ups and industry developments that matter to young riders looking ahead to 2026. Across the UK and beyond, manufacturers, racers and brands have been setting the tone for the year to come.
One of the biggest talking points has been the long‑awaited arrival of the Buell Super Cruiser, which has finally begun deliveries in the US. UK riders won’t have to wait long: a small batch is confirmed to land here from late February, priced at £27,750. For younger riders, the significance isn’t the price tag but what it signals—retro‑inspired cruisers are still in demand and manufacturers are willing to take risks on bold designs.
In racing, the headline news is the split between Valentino Rossi and BMW, with the MotoGP legend stepping away from the World Endurance Championship project for 2026. For new fans, this is a reminder that even the biggest names continue to reshape their careers and the racing world is constantly shifting. Meanwhile, the wider racing scene has been busy with rider movements, including Moto3 and WorldWCR updates, showing how competitive the ladder to the top remains.
On the industry side, Chinese‑backed brands continue to push into the UK market. QJMOTOR announced the arrival of the SRK 800 RR, a road‑going version of its World Supersport machine, aimed at shaking up the middleweight sportsbike segment. This is particularly relevant for young riders who want performance without superbike insurance costs. The trend is clear: more choice, more competition and more accessible power.
Elsewhere, Oxford Products released new security gear, including the Hardcore XC13 chain and padlock, reflecting the ongoing concern about motorcycle theft across UK cities. For younger riders—who are statistically more likely to be affected by theft—this kind of product news is more than marketing; it’s a reminder to take security seriously.
In the broader motorcycle world, several 2026 models were previewed internationally, including the 2026 Beta 450 RX, 2026 Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally and 2026 Royal Enfield Classic 650 Special Edition. While many of these bikes sit outside A2 limits, they show where technology and styling are heading: lighter frames, more electronics and a growing mix of electric and hybrid concepts.
Marketing‑wise, brands are leaning heavily into lifestyle content. KTM announced dates for its 2026 Racing Heroes events, continuing the trend of manufacturers building communities around their bikes rather than simply selling them. This shift matters for young riders: the industry increasingly wants you involved, not just buying a bike.
Politically, no major UK motorcycle‑specific legislation surfaced this week, but the ongoing national conversation about road safety and emissions continues to influence how manufacturers design and promote new models. Expect more low‑emission tech and more pressure on urban riding rules in the months ahead.
Overall, the week has been a reminder that motorcycling is evolving fast—new bikes, new racing stories and new expectations for the next generation of riders. Whether you’re saving for your first big bike or following the racing ladder, the momentum is definitely building.
Finally, we hope that you are having the best Christmas possible. Until next week, ride safe and happy reading.
The next SAM Committee Meeting will be on the 29th January 2026. The next SAM Club Night will be on the 2nd February 2026. Weekly Saturday meetings, at Meadowhall Retail Park, will continue to take place, but watch the SAM website Calendar (it’s on the front page!) for any changes. Your SAM Weekly Newsletter will drop into your inbox each week as usual. Ride safe and happy reading.
Your success is our success!
Very well done to John Parker, achieving a F1RST class advanced rider test pass. Also, to volunteer Observer Jon Broomhead for the dedicated rider development support given on behalf of the SAM charity.
Advanced riders are safer road users, ride longer, rider further, meet more people and enjoy a healthier, happier life!

General
Looking for a ride that shows off your unique style and boosts your confidence on the road? There’s no denying that for most men, a motorcycle is more than just transportation—it’s a lifestyle statement. The right bike will reflect your personality, whether you prefer a chill, sporty, or rugged vibe.
These days, the trend of cool motorcycles for guys is more diverse than ever. You can pick a masculine automatic scooter for practicality, or go with a clutch bike for an authentic riding experience. Advances in technology and design have made it easier to choose a motorcycle that matches your character and needs. Read more
The penalty was introduced a year ago in a clampdown on people parking at the shopping centre all day for free.
Meadowhall parking: Bosses reassure visitors over new parking time limit backed by £100 charge
The centre has more than 12,000 spaces but suffered from commuters parking up for free and catching the tram or train into Sheffield city centre.
At the time, bosses said many cars were left all day by visitors combining shopping with a trip to the cinema and a meal. But it was unusual for people to exceed 14 hours in one week.
The centre has more than 12,000 spaces but suffered from commuters parking up for free and catching the tram or train into Sheffield city centre. Read more
The UK government has just announced multi-year funding for active travel in England outside London, worth £626m. Active Travel England, the agency responsible for allocation of active travel funds in England, says this is enough for 500 miles of new cycling and walking routes.
Active Travel England is headed by national active travel commissioner, Chris Boardman, who states: “The aim of Active Travel England is to give people more everyday choice in how they get around, by creating safe, accessible and welcoming streets. Read more
Drivers have been increasingly buying SUVs, despite evidence showing bigger cars are more dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists.
It comes after new figures revealed SUVs now make up two-thirds of all new vehicles sold in the UK, a huge jump of around 30 per cent in just four years.
The boom has been most obvious in towns and cities, where these heavier cars offer few practical advantages but add to congestion, take up more space and make parking more difficult.
Research from the campaign group Clean Cities showed just how quickly things have changed across the UK car landscape. Read more
Many people’s first motorcycle is a 125cc. And whether it’s a stepping stone towards something more powerful as you become confident on two wheels, or all you need to get around town, you’ll want to make sure you’re riding in comfort.
Comfort is, of course, a very subjective experience. Experts have come up with various ideas about the optimal way to size your bike, but you might prefer to do something different. The best way to find out whether a bike is right for you is to try it out yourself. The following guide will give you a good way of narrowing down the choices. Read more
You don’t have to swap tarmac for trails forever to reap the benefits of off‑road riding but spend a few sessions in the dirt and it’s distinctly possible to see how quickly your road riding becomes calmer, more precise and, crucially, safer. We look at why off‑road experience builds the kind of instinctive control and mental resilience that roadcraft alone can’t deliver, and how to bring those wins back to the road, step by step.
Drawing on coaching insights from experienced rider coach, Mark McVeigh (www.motorbikecoach.com), we turn principles into practical drills you can do this weekend whether you have an adventure bike, a 125 commuter, or just a mountain bike gathering dust in the shed. Read on for an overview of the accompanying video or watch it in detail here Read more
Deliveries of the long-anticipated Buell Super Cruiser have started in the US, with the UK importer confirming that a small batch of bikes will arrive on our shores from as early as late February 2026.First revealed as a concept in February 2023, the 172.6bhp 1190cc V-twin machine now meets EPA and CARB approvals required for the US market, with the first batch of machinery arriving in the UK limited to just eight or nine units – all subject to Motorcycle Single Vehicle Approval (MSVA) regulations.

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...
I’ve been riding for close to two decades, and besides ample head protection, there are two things I consider essential in any motorcycle helmet I’m thinking about buying. One is, it needs some type of sun visor; usually a drop-down internal sunshade paired with a clear visor is my go-to.
The second essential thing for me, personally, is that the visor needs to not fog up on me. Now, I’m used to riding in a wide variety of temperatures, and I also wear eyeglasses to see. So I’m used to cracking my visor just a little when it’s winter out, and it’s fine; I just need to see, you know? Read more
The Ninja 7 Hybrid and Z7 Hybrid might not be topping sales charts but Kawasaki’s innovative hybrids have clearly caught the attention of the industry—with rivals including Yamaha working on similar designs, and a new patent shows Kawasaki is looking at more ways to implement the technology.
Packing two complete powertrains into the tight confines of a motorcycle chassis is a tough challenge for any designer. Even with a downsized combustion engine, using the electric motor to take up the slack, and a smaller fuel tank because of the better economy that the technology offers, finding space for an electric motor and a big battery alongside all the usual paraphernalia of a combustion engine is an unenviable task. On top of that, there are cooling systems and control units to worry about, along with a means to combine the outputs of both power units and give the ability to seamlessly switch between them, achieved in Kawasaki’s case with an automated clutch and transmission. With all that in mind, the slightly long wheelbase and increased bulk of the company’s current hybrids is easily excused. Read more
Almost everyone will have struggled with their mental health at some point, or know someone who has, and having support around you can make all the difference. This is what the Mental Health Motorbike charity are aiming to tackle with their new wellbeing hubs, bringing the support to where the bikers already are.Mental Health Motorbike is a charity established in March 2020, offering a completely free service to the motorcycling community and their families. One of the main things that the charity provides is a peer support group, which is run by 14 members of trained staff and is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Read more
Adventure & Touring
Misery is Memorable
Or, why the feeling of impending doom should be welcomed with open arms on our travels?
On the return leg of a 9,000 km journey from Calgary to the Arctic Circle via the Dempster Highway, I stopped at my new favorite place, The Yukon Motel and Restaurant in Teslin, Yukon. After warming my belly with a bowl of their homemade soup, and cramming in as many of their excellent baked goods as I could manage, I set about checking over the bike before tackling the remainder of my 550 km day from Whitehorse to Boya Lake.
While I struggled to tame the tank bag’s Medusa-like bundle of accessory charging cables, I almost failed to notice an inquisitive onlooker moving in for a closer look at my heavily laden bike.
“You look like you’re on quite the adventure,” he said.
I turned to see a slender, elderly man with neatly combed gray hair towering over my six-foot self. “Well yes sir, I suppose I am… I’m on the return leg of a journey from Calgary to Inuvik, in the Arctic Circle.” I proudly proclaimed.
As he uttered his next words, “Tell me a story from your trip,” I was instantly transported back to a mountain pass on the Dempster Highway. Ascending the pass in bitter 4°C temps, I was pummeled by heavy rain to the point that my frozen hands felt like they were being shot at with BBs. The rain mercifully gave way, only to land me in a thick fog with visibility down to a mere two or three meters. Riding along at an average speed of 30 kph, trying to keep the bike upright on the almost unimaginably slick mud, I’d never felt more physically or mentally challenged.
“That sounds utterly terrible,” the old man said.
My response was, “It was one of the best moments of my life.” The thing is, I never wanted the trip to lack challenge, and man oh man at that moment… I was challenged! Read more
There’s an undeniable mystique to the American West. Cowboys, Indians, outlaws and the Gold Rush—they all call as loudly as the wide open landscape itself. Inspired by our friend and Backcountry Byways author, Tony Huegel, and the custom routing he was working on for one of his adventure riding motorcycle clients, we decided to build a trip around this magnificently desolate place he refers to as “The Great Empty.”It’s the big area of “nothingness” south of Lander, Wyoming, and north of Interstate 80, where there are very few roads and even fewer people. Originally from the east coast and now living in Idaho Falls, we have become increasingly enchanted with the western way of life and all the places to escape into the wilderness. With a newly purchased KTM 950 Adventure in the garage alongside my partner Edward’s KTM Super Enduro, the pull of the wide open west was too much for either of us to deny. Read more
Mulholland Drive. Angeles Crest Highway. Pacific Coast Highway. Even if they’ve never been anywhere close to Southern California, many motorcyclists have at least heard of some of these legendary riding routes known for their challenging twisties, sweeping curves, and stunning ocean views. But there are plenty of other routes in the SoCal area that offer beautiful vistas and best of all, because they aren’t as well known, they offer plenty of opportunities to test your riding skills.
In this new series presented by Husqvarna, we explore some of these hidden gem riding roads, and show why you should include them on your next visit to Southern California. Read more
History & Custom
Although its looks are polarizing, the Yamaha XSR700 is universally lauded for its performance. Its parallel twin engine is both lively and usable, and it scores high in the handling department. So when Germany’s Crooked Motorcycles was tasked with customizing a client’s XSR700, they knew they had a good foundation to build on.
“He wanted something really special,” Crooked co-founder Dominikus Braun tells us. “He trusted our design language—so we could create a design piece focusing on lightweight construction and improving the rider setup, as he disliked the original XSR ergonomics.” Read more

The breaking news story from this week concerns reports that the EU is “ditching” the 2035 ban on petrol and diesel vehicles, reports largely carried by the right wing press.
Let’s be precise about what’s actually happened.
The original plan was simple: from 2035, new cars and vans sold in the EU would have to achieve a 100% reduction in tailpipe emissions, which doesn’t just mean CO2, but NOx and particulates too – in theory, it might be possible to build a scrubber that was 100% efficient, but in practice, it was intended as an effective ban on new internal combustion engines.

Fight the Fear; Rhyming Reminders
One of the biggest challenges for new riders isn’t mastering the machine control that puts the bike and rider ‘in the right place, at the right time, at the right speed’ as the police might put it, issues around the smooth throttle and clutch control and appropriate gear selection which keeps our own manoeuvres neat. Nor is it attempting to make sense of the unpredictability of traffic around us, all the while ensuring we make the necessary mirror and shoulder checks, whilst remembering to cancel the indicators, the limitation is our own mental bandwidth.

Joey-by-the-Sea
This week it’s a harmless enough story, but it’s still confusing.
According to the Isle of man TT fans 2025 facebook page, this is the Joey Dunlop sculpture at Bungalow Bend, TT Course, Isle of Man. That was a bit of a shocker – the tide has come in long way since the last time I was there. I blame global warming!
It is actually a rather a nice composition, with the bike looking out over the breaking waves, but of course if you’re going to go looking for the sculpture, you’re not going to find it on the coast road. In reality, Joey’s memorial is really at one of the highest points of the course, up on the flanks of Snaefell, in the middle of the Island. Read more
Eleanor Maguire & the cabbie’s brain
Eleanor Maguire, the cognitive neuroscientist whose work transformed our understanding of how the brain navigates the world, has died aged 54. She is best known for her landmark 2000 study of London taxi drivers, which showed that the posterior hippocampus — a brain region crucial to spatial memory — was significantly larger in drivers who had mastered the Knowledge.
The effect was not merely correlational: the longer a cabbie had been navigating London’s streets, the larger that region became. It was one of the clearest demonstrations ever produced of adult brain plasticity — the idea that experience can physically reshape the brain. Read more
Where did infographics come from?
Florence Nightingale (12 May 1820 – 13 August 1910) was an English social reformer, statistician, and the founder of modern nursing. She gained prominence while serving as a manager and trainer of nurses during the Crimean War, where she organized care for wounded soldiers in Constantinople. By improving hygiene and living conditions, she significantly reduced death rates.
Nightingale was a pioneer in the field of statistics. She presented her analyses in graphical forms to facilitate the drawing of actionable conclusions from data. She is renowned for her use of a ‘polar area diagram’, akin to a modern circular histogram, to explain mortality in the British Army. Read more

Are you aware of the OAP framework when out riding? 
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

Motorcycle Industries Association
MCIA has today published the new vehicle registrations for the month of November 2025.
This includes Mopeds, Scooters, Motorcycles and other categories within the wider L-Category vehicle types.
As we enter the last 2 months of this year, we fully expect to report some heavy declines compared to the previous year. This is driven by the large market distortions seen in November and December 2024, where over 8,400 units were registered ahead of the Euro 5 phase out. Compared to last year, November 2025 closed at a minus 24% and which impact the total year-to-date market which is now -15% compared to the previous year. Read more
National Motorcycle Dealers Association
“The market in November continues to show improvement compared to earlier this year, despite an Autumn Budget that failed to deliver any meaningful support for our sector” said Symon Cook, Head of the National Motorcycle Dealers Association (NMDA), in response to the latest figures released by the Motorcycle Industry Association (MCIA).
Motorcycle registrations for November fell by -25.6%, with 4,924 new motorcycles registered, compared to 6,615 in the same month last year. Year-to-date motorcycle registrations now stand at 84,649 units, representing a -15.2% decline compared to November 2024. Total registrations declined -24.3% in the month, with the year-to-date market down -15.3%. Read more
National Motorcyclists Council
In a press release issued over the weekend, the Treasury seems to have reacted positively to calls from the NMC and Pothole Partnership to increase pressure on local authorities to publish their individual progress on repairing potholes by: ‘… turning up the pressure on local authorities by more than tripling the share of local roads funding that is tied to transparency – from 8% to over 30% of the budget, worth more than £500 million. Councils can only unlock the funding if they publish clear pothole and maintenance data and follow best practice.’ This is very welcome

MANUFACTURERS’ RECALLS
The shock pre-load adjuster mounting bracket on your Harley-Davidson Softail may break, causing the shock adjuster to come into contact with the tyre. There is a risk of a sudden loss of air pressure and therefore an increased risk of accidents and injuries.
Your Talaria electric motorcycle is supplied with a plug that has no facility for a fuse. Moreover, it is supplied with a travel adaptor that is unsuitable for charging motorbikes. If the product were left plugged in overnight, the adaptor and plug could overheat, causing the adaptor, transformer and/or lithium-ion battery on the product to catch fire and explode.
Due to irregularities in the materials, cracks could develop in the fuel tank cap seal of your KTM 390 Duke, 250 Duke, 125 Duke or 990 Duke. This may lead to fuel leakage if the vehicle is overturned. An external spark could pose a risk of fire.
The shock pre-load adjuster mounting bracket of your Harley-Davidson P&A profile low rear suspension kit or P&A tall rear shock kit may break, causing the shock adjuster to come into contact with the tyre. This could cause a sudden loss of air pressure and thus a risk of accident and injury.

Motorcycle Action Group condemns elimination of specialist motorcycle safety team and abandonment of BikeSafe despite increased funding and national expansion.
The Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) has condemned the Metropolitan Police’s decision to disband its specialist Motorcycle Safety Team and eliminate BikeSafe rider training in London – at the very moment the national program is celebrating 25 years of success and securing investment for expansion.
In a stakeholder notification sent today, Transport for London confirmed that “dedicated road safety policing teams covering areas such as commercial vehicles, cycles, motorcycles… will also no longer exist in their current form.” The email revealed that “engagement, education and byelaw enforcement will now be delivered by TfL’s own enforcement teams, freeing up police resources to focus on tackling crime.” Read more
