  Review: HJC CS-R3 Stormtrooper helmet (productReview)
  Aside from just the exterior design, the Stormtrooper-themed CS-R3 is a great helmet in its own right, with lots of features for the price. The ACS ventilation system means heat and humidity won't be an issue in summer while HJC's RapidFire Replacement System is excellent. If you like Star Wars and want an entry-level helmet, this is where you should put your money.

  Review: Suzuki Katana (2019) (productReview)
  However, using the brakes to their full potential does reveal the standard suspension set-up of the Katana is not ideal. We found the front forks could bottom out quite readily under hard stopping or over bumpier sections of road. There’s adjustment in the suspension and it’s easy to dial in a little extra stiffness to counter the forks bottom out.

  Review: Kawasaki W800 (productReview)
  There’s also a reworked engine to make it Euro 4-compliant even though it sticks with air-cooling for an authentic look and riding experience. A new chassis coupled to a smaller 18-inch front wheel gives much-improved handling too, even if the W800 is more focused on comfort. You can opt for the Café model if a sportier ride is on your priority list and it comes with cowl fairing and clip-on handlebars.

  Review: Ducati Monster 797 (productReview)
  Mid-corner bumps don’t upset its balance and there’s loads of traction from the 180/55 back tyre. Stopping is taken care of by twin Brembo calipers at the front clamping 320mm discs, while the rear is a 245mm rotor. ABS anti-locking is included as is demanded by a new bike, but that’s the only electronic intervention fitted to this Monster and it’s all the better for it.

• What is the cheapest Classic Car Insurance for a Mk1 Volkswagen Golf GTI (Article)
  The car that first earned the term ‘hot hatch’ used a Bosch fuel injection 1588cc engine to pump 110bhp through its front wheels and the tight and nimble handling meant all this could be used to the max.

  Review: Nuna Arra (productReview)
  It does take up room though, so if you have a smaller car like a Ford Fiesta, you'll have to have the seat in front quite far forward. As we always suggest, it's worth trying it out in your car before buying if you can.

  Top 10: Scooters 2020 (Article)
  Instead, the Tricity feels as sprightly as any scooter in this capacity class and you have the added advantage of greater front end grip and stability to carry more corner speed. The two wheels at the front mean the Tricity gives massive confidence under braking, which is perfect for those learning to ride or moving up from a smaller machine.

  Top 10: Essentials for learner riders (Article)
  Rigid plates that attach to the number plate at the rear and the suspension fork at the front are cheap, but since most scooters have a nice big flat surface at the front an even cheaper, stick on L plate will do the job. Remember to always display both plates and don't chop them down to make them smaller, that's land you on the wrong side of the law.
• WINTER TYRES: Should I use different tyres for the winter? (FAQs)
  Honest John's general advice is as follows: Fitting winter tyres to two wheels of a modern car can seriously destabilise the car, particularly on a descent, so is not to be contemplated. We are not in the 1960s any longer when cars and tyres were comparatively unsophisticated and when this was a viable option.

  Sat Nav of the Year shortlist (Article)
  >> Read our full review Garmin Drive Assist 51 LMT-D The Garmin DriveAssist 51 LMT-D is a sat nav unit that features an integrated dash cam , in an effort to cut down on windscreen clutter and fuss.

  125cc Scooter of the Year shortlist (Article)
  Well, it certainly manages that and more. The engine is peppy around town, allowing you to nip away from cars when the lights turn green. Up to 40mph, the Super Cub is a spruce performer and the four-speed gearbox is very quick and simple to use as you don’t have to worry about juggling the clutch for perfect take-offs.

  Review: Zero SR/F (productReview)
  Our only gripe is the front end can tip into bends a little too readily at low speeds, so a little more counter steering was needed to offset this. When it comes to charging, the SR/F uses the same charging connection as most electric cars, so it’s quick and easy to hook up to a charging point.
• Top 10: Best scooters 2018 (Article)
  There’s also the addition of the R-Cup model for 2018 that costs £2699 and comes finished in the same paint scheme as Peugeot’s 308TCR World Touring Car Cup racer. Kymco XCITING S 400 Building on the existing XCITING 400, the new S version of Kymco’s maxi scooter will feature a couple of firsts. Prime among these is the option of Noodoe Navigation rider-centric sat-nav system.

  Top 10: Best value dash cameras (Article)
  The magnetic connector works really well, reducing camera shake and making for a much more secure fitting while the new windscreen mount is also far better than in the older Nextbase ones and feels like it's built to last.  The footage is very good, although we'd stop short of saying it's quite as good as the  Azdome GS63H .

  Dash cam of the Year shortlist (Article)
  It will also warn you if you're showing signs of being too tired, if you're drifting out of your lane and if you're in danger of crashing into the car in front. It does this by combining the camera image with the internal GPS system. >> Read the full review Nextbase 612GW The video quality of the Nextbase 612GW – Ultra HD 4K - is a rarity and will be the clincher for many people.

  Dash Camera under £100 shortlist (Article)
  >> Read our full review Mio C330 As well as its budget price, another selling point of the C330 is its compact size. At 51.2 x 62.6 x 37.4mm and weighing just 59.5g, you’ll barely notice it fitted to your windscreen. The C330 shoots reasonable quality  footage (1080p @ 30fps) - with details like car number plates easy to make out. Plus, it comes with GPS too - which can alert you to upcoming safety speed cameras.

  Review: Suaoki R800 dash cam (productReview)
  You can go through all the menus and play with the settings, but essentially, all you really need to do is set the date and time before slotting it into the mount. From then on, every time you start the car, the camera will start recording. However, our test camera did crash a couple of times when going back and forth through menus (a quick press of the reset button on the base sorted it out). And trying to play with the settings when the dash cam is mounted on the windscreen isn't particularly easy as it's hard to see the text on each button, especially in anything but bright conditions.
