This year’s starting grid for the 2025 Isle of Man TT Supertwin races has been confirmed, with Paul Jordan set to lead off the chasing pack.

Road racing veteran James Hillier has secured a deal to compete at the 2025 Isle of Man TT after securing a ride with Bournemouth Kawasaki.

Moto Guzzi V7 Sport (2025) Review: Speed Twin 900 rivalling sports retro roadster tested

1 week ago | visordown.com | Simon Hancocks

Guzzi’s V7 is nothing less than an Italian icon. The 1967 original introduced the historic brand’s ‘signature’ transverse V-twin shaft drive powertrain, which has been at its core ever since, while its 2008 revival offered a credible rival to Triumph’s Bonneville retro roadster. A V7 Sport then followed the original in 1971 with extra performance and better cycle parts which led to the 850 Le Mans, with the 1971 machine today arguably the most collectable Guzzi of all.

CFMoto has pulled a proverbial rabbit from the hat this spring, with the announcement of a new sub-brand called CFLite.

1 week ago | visordown.com | Simon Hancocks

Yamaha’s MT-10 was last updated in 2022, with revised styling, more tech and a smidge more power headlining the update. It’s hard to imagine that just three years on from that last update, some are reporting that the axe is hanging and ready to fall on this much-loved super naked. Indeed, some continental websites are already reporting on the bike's demise, with the French website Moto-Station claiming that there are less than 100 left in French dealers.

1 week ago | visordown.com | Simon Hancocks

Two British speed racers have set an unofficial record at Elvington airfield, after reaching a speed of 224mph on a specially modified Suzuki Hayabusa. The pair are the rider, Jarrod “Jack” Frost, and the pillion Paul Milbourn, who are using a uniquely modified machine for the task. The Suzuki Hayabusa is a popular choice for speed racing such as this, given that modifications such as turbo-charging can unlock significant gains in power from the engine.

1 week ago | visordown.com | Robert Jones

Yamaha is giving away a special Tenere 700 Yamalube motorcycle as part of a contest that will run until the end of April, but it’s for French customers only. France is no stranger to producing limited edition motorcycles as part of promotional campaigns, competitions or in BMW’s case, the return of a popular comic book series. And this Tenere 700 Yamalube is the latest creation that has left us in the UK wanting in on the action.
