Traction control helps safe riding, while keyless ignition and a parking brake make your life simpler. It looks good value at £5999. BMW C 400 X BMW is expanding its maxi scooter range with the C 400 X that sits below the 650 models in power, performance and price. That doesn’t mean compromising on equipment, quality or rider enjoyment, though.
Top 10: Scramblers 2023 (Article)
The finish could be stronger in places, but the price still makes this a very tempting motorcycle. BMW R NineT Scrambler - £10,765 BMW has become extremely adept at finessing its core bikes into more focused machines and the R NineT Scrambler is a perfect example of this.

Top 10: Used Motorcycles for £3000 (Article)
We’d reckon on finding one with less than 10,000 miles and in perfect condition for this price. BMW K1200RS We could point you in the direction of several big-engined hyper tourers for this sort of money, but the BMW K1200RS does it all better than most rivals. This is largely down to the depth of quality and finish it enjoyed from new, which makes it a superb used motorcycle and one that’s usually been meticulously cared for by enthusiastic previous owners.
Review: Triumph Bonneville T100 (productReview)
It has a USB connection under the seat to charge your smartphone or sat-nav, and cruise control and heated grips are optional extras worth having if you ride all year round or want to go touring. Next to rivals from BMW, Ducati, Honda and Moto Guzzi, Triumph has nailed the modern classic motorcycle with the Bonneville T100. It’s such a good looker, with all of the wires and pipes hidden away to give a clean appearance, that many will mistake it for a 1960s bike.
Review: Honda X-ADV (productReview)
The Honda X-ADV is pitched as an adventure scooter and you’ll need to be of an adventurous nature to consider this left-field choice. It’s an unusual mash-up of full-size go-anywhere BMW GS-style bike but with a feet-forward riding position. Other oddities about the design of the X-ADV are its DCT twin-clutch six-speed gearbox. This lets you ride the Honda without ever having to bother changing gear yourself or you can opt to take control with the up and down shifters on the left-hand bar.
Review: Ring Jumpstart 5 in 1 (productReview)
We can imagine it would be immensely frustrating to carry this round only to find when you went to use it that it didn't reach both the positive and negative terminals. That said, we have no issues with the power. We tested the Jumpstart 5 in 1 on an older BMW 328i that had been sitting for several months and had a completely flat battery. Thanks to the boost setting, the car fired up pretty much straight away - usually this is a job for jump leads from another car, often something diesel.
Review: Ohme Home Pro EV Charger (productReview)
We've used it with our own Audi e-tron as well as a slew of different EVs we have tested including everything from a Volvo EC40 and a Vauxhall Astra Electric to a Volkswagen ID.7 GTX and a BMW i5 M60. It's perfomed impeccably with all, which the app making things very simple to control. I initially wasn't sure if a five metre cable would be long enough given the various EVs I test, but it's surprisingly flexible cable and I've managed to hook it up to every EV that's been on the drive with no fuss.
Review: Zontes T310 (productReview)
As you walk towards the Zontes T310, it gives every impression of being a classy, large adventure bike. Okay, it’s not quite as imposing as BMW GS or Ducati Multistrada, but it has all of the feel of a substantial bike and that is a big part of the appeal of this type of machine. There’s also a host of details to take in, such as the high-level exhaust pipes designed to keep heat away from pillion’s legs and luggage.

Review: Thule 991 RaceWay 2 bicycle carrier (productReview)
We say officially as although there are cars not listed in the accompanying booklet - things like the latest Ford Focus, BMW 5 Series Touring and Honda Civic to name just three - that's not to say the RaceWay won't fit so it's worth testing it out even if your car isn't on the list.
