Woodstock - Big BMWs offroad: 450 X, F800 GS & R1200 GS
By John Cantlie on 28/07/2010 09:36:23
For the average trail rider in the UK, a full-on enduro bike is overkill. Surely, a road bike with some big knobbly tyres for green-laning is enough? We put three grumpy old men haggard on a trio of BMWs to find out
Apparently, size is everything. I don’t completely buy into this myth because if it was the case, then being obscenely fat would be cool – and it quite obviously isn’t. But in terms of machinery, it’s hard to refute that really big shit is difficult to ignore. Oil tankers, 747s, ...

By Andy Stevens on 06/01/2012 16:07:23
Good choice of door colour!

I've got my XT, so where's the snow?
By Andy Stevens on 14/12/2011 15:17:00
I've swapped the Speed Triple for something more suited to winter
fairing actually gives a decent amount of wind protection.So it's good on the road, how about green-laning? If it can handle the mud as well as the tarmac then it'll truly be an all-rounder that's somehow slipped under everyone's radar. I've got a few

Road Test: Honda CRF450X
By John Cantlie on 27/04/2008 22:39:12
With wheelie-happy monsters like Honda's new CRF450X, never has there been a better reason to get stuck in the mud.
from a capable trail bike like Suzuki's DR-Z400, the CRF450X is an obvious choice. If the DR-Z were a Bandit 600, the CRF-X would be a Fireblade. It would be wasted if your off-roading was limited to occasional green-lane pottering, but for keen trail
