  Top 10: 125cc bikes with manual transmissions (Article)
  Lexmoto Michigan 125 - £1399 It might look a bit like a Harley Davidson, but this budget commuter bike can be ridden with L plates after completing a CBT. With a low seat and light controls it’s very easy to ride both in and out of town, but being Chinese made it isn’t likely to last as well

  and complements the retro shape ideally. A well-padded seat covers a storage bin big enough for a helmet and there’s a glovebox underneath the bars for added practicality. A three-year, 18,500-mile warranty gives peace of mind, making the Fiddle III an excellent urban runabout. Keeway Cityblade 125

  in. Other rider comfort is fine thanks to the well-shaped cushion and seat height of 825mm that’s not too challenging for those with shorter legs. The pillion seat is less accommodating, so best to regard it as a very occasional perch for short journeys or somewhere to sling a soft tail pack

  Review: Triumph Street Twin (productReview)
  choosing the Street Twin will not be putting outright cornering ability at the top of their tick list, we reckon Triumph has got the balance bob on. More comfort comes when you sling a leg over the Street Twin. The seat height is up 10mm on the previous model but all that is down to more padding

  on at higher speeds. There’s no fairing, but the sharply styled front end move just enough air up and over the bars to let you ride at motorway speeds without being battered into submission. On back roads and around town, which are the MT’s natural hunting grounds, it’s never an issue. The seat

  Review: Triumph Bonneville T100 (productReview)
  . Some might find the engine a tad too refined, but you can option some louder exhausts to cure that. During our time in the saddle, we found the smoother nature of this latest T100 a real boon as you could spend all day in the saddle without vibrations numbing hands or backside. The seat is thickly

  as upset by such bumps and dips, but it’s still better to avoid them as the basic suspension set-up can send a few jolts through the bars and seat. The cushion has enough padding for decent comfort on most commuter trips, but if you need to ride all day long you might need to investigate aftermarket

  Review: Yamaha NMAX 125 (productReview)
  use where the roads can be slick with diesel when you least need it. We found the riding position was excellent for a 5-ft 10-inch tall rider of average build. The seat height is a little taller than the Honda PCX’s, but what’s 5mm between friends? And like the Honda, the Yamaha is not a step

  to rest against on lengthier trips. The pillion is equally well looked after and gets foot pegs for added security. The only downside here is the seat height means any rider who has a shorter inside leg measurement is going to struggle to get one foot flat on the ground never mind both. Still, at least

  Review: Moto Guzzi V7 II 2016 (productReview)
  unlikely to make much difference to most riders, but it does have the benefit of easy maintenance – there’s nothing to adjust or lubricate with a shaft drive. Aside from that, the V7 is pretty conventional – the controls and riding experience are very easy to get to grips with. The seat height

  and will self-destruct. Peugeot/Citroen/Ford diesel engines don't need to get quite as hot as diesels in other makes because they use an additive to help regenerate the DPF.

  The Travall Guard is a quality, custom fit barrier that slots in behind the back seats of your vehicle.  It's lightweight, easy to install and rattle-free, but it's also at the top end of the price scale for dog guards. There are various cheaper guard options, many of which are universal for all

  Review: Honda CB1000R (productReview)
  , and the impression of quality continues. The seat is quite thin but has enough padding to deal with the rides most CB owners will use it for – commuting, back road blasts and just heading to the shops for the sake of enjoying this bike. Spend more than a couple of hours on it, though, and you realise touring

  Review: Razor Crazy Cart Shift (productReview)
  , but if your rear seats/boot are full or you have a smaller car, it's definitely worth checking the dimensions to see if you'll be able to fit the cart in your car. A top speed of 8mph doesn't sound that quick, but at this height, it's still a thrill.  As you can see
