The Italian stallion you may well have forgotten about; the 2000 - 2005 Cagiva Raptor!

Thank you to Sizzapp for sponsoring this week's podcast episode. A vehicle tracker with no monthly costs and can be setup in minutes. It's not cheap getting into motorbiking.

So I've found a £300 solution for anyone who's passed their test and only has £300 cash to buy a motorbike and full outfit. I then take a look at pre 1980 motorbikes that are tax exempt and also ULEZ (low emissions zone in London) exempt too! Could there be some genuinely cool, useable 1980s bikes that are viable modes of transport? Find me on: | |||

| Should We Still Spend Big Money on Petrol Motorbikes With the Internal Combustion Ban Coming, and Yamaha Riders Thoughts on Ownership | 09 Nov 2021 | 00:35:48 | |
I look into whether it's still sensible to spend big money on petrol powered motorbikes, with the looming ban on internal combustion engines coming. And I go through the results of Yamaha owners' thoughts on their bikes. I also share some insight from Ducati owners, as well as find the ultimate tourer for under £5,000!

I chat about my recent four days with the Harley Davidson Pan America, and I look at a budget alternative. I'm amazed to find out how much Suzuki Bandits have gone up in value... And I discuss pillion comfort! | |||
| Used Buell Motorcycles- a Brilliant Investment? And a Parts Bin Suzuki that's More than the Sum of its Parts | 26 Oct 2021 | 00:28:47 | |
I give my weekly motorcycle roundup, the expanding ULEZ (ultra low emissions zone in London), as well as my recent time spent on a Ducati Monster- my first ever ride on a Ducati! And I look into whether I made the right choice eight years ago when I bought a Triumph Speed Triple over a Buell. And I look into a 2018 parts bin special Suzuki that can be found now for around £4,000! Find me on: | |||
