The MAM Journals - 2024 review or, How Not to Create a "Successful" YouTube Channel...
A look back at 2024 . The 3 most viewed videos and my favourite bikes of the year. Unusually for me a short moan, as I explain why I think Silverstone race circuit currently has the wrong approach to motorcycling and what they could do to resolve it ...
My 100TH , and for now last video, I go through how the channel has done this year, what I have learnt so far and what my plans are for 2025. Not as heavy going as the description suggests , it is an easy going half hour review of the year ...I hope that you enjoy it !

The MAM Journals- First Impressions -BMW R 1300 GS Adventure
Просмотров 8 тыс.2 месяца назад
When my local BMW dealer , North Oxford Garage, offered to lend me their New BMW GSA, it was an opportunity too good to miss! With the demonstrator in high demand they, understandably, asked that I have the bike for the day , rather than the 3 or 4 I normally take to review a bike . These are my first impressions... Other BMW REVIEWS include.... Is the BMW R 1300 GS better than my R 1250 GS? ru...
The Mam Journals - Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 -First Impressions.
Просмотров 21 тыс.2 месяца назад
Having already ridden , and liked, the New Himalayan 450, I wasn't too sure what I would make of the urban roadster , the Guerrilla. Impressed with the suspension and back lane capability of the Himalayan , would the Guerrilla be as good? What are the benefits of the new bike and why would someone buy this in preference to the Himalayan ? Traditional British weather for the road test , I enjoye...

Просмотров 19 тыс.4 месяца назад
Having seen the new XSR900 GP at the NEC bike show, I was really looking forward to riding it. When the Yamaha Experience team contacted me and said they had put one on their fleet, I booked immediately! With Bike magazine voting it "The best bike of 2024", I was surely in for a treat! So how did I get on? My review of the Yamaha Tracer 900 GT can be found at ruclips.net/video/z84CsXArwA0/видео...
The MAM Journals-Honda RVF750R RC45
Просмотров 12 тыс.5 месяцев назад
When the World Superbike championship began in 1988, Honda had the RC30 ready to race, and they won the first two championships, with Fred Merkel riding . The evolving regulations allowed 4 cylinder engines up to 750cc and twins up to 999cc, and understandably , Ducati took advantage of this . Honda needed a new bike and, in 1994 they launched the RC45 to take them on . It proved to be a tough ...

When I test rode the R1300 GS I was so impressed, I ordered one immediately. How do I feel about my bike, 2000 miles later ? Have my initial thoughts survived the test of time ? Is the BMW R1300 GS meeting my expectations? My initial review , link below , went through the specifications in some detail and some may prefer to watch that one first . In this video I take you on part of my recent to...
The MAM Journals - Classic Motor Hub Ride In - July 24
Просмотров 3,2 тыс.6 месяцев назад
One of my favourite things about Motorcycling, is the opportunity to meet fellow enthusiasts and talk about bikes. The Classic Motor Hub at Ablington is at its heart, a classic car business but they go out of their way to make motorcyclists welcome, organising ride ins regularly during the summer. It is also a regular food and coffee stop for bikers, including me!. Today you join me as I talk t...
The MAM Journals -Triumph Rocket 3 GT Storm . More than meets the eye?
Просмотров 35 тыс.6 месяцев назад
Hyper Cruiser , Roadster or Mad Max supernaked? It is hard to tell . "Cruisers" have certainly become a lot more sophisticated and versatile, over the years . With the largest engine, and most torque of any production motorcycle, I was understandably looking forward to riding the new Storm . It was worth the wait . In this video I go through the specs , although not as exhaustively as I do on s...
The MAM Journals- 990 Duke - Perceptions Changed?
Просмотров 8 тыс.6 месяцев назад
It has been a while since I have ridden a KTM . Although I have been aware of their outstanding record in off road competition, in both Motocross and Enduro,and more recently in road racing , their road bikes have largely, passed me by. When Premier Bikes of Oxford, kindly offered to lend me the New 990 Duke I joked , will I need a step ladder to get on it? It was a bike that challenged and cha...
The MAM Journals- CFMOTO 650NK

When CFMOTO and KTM formed a joint venture in 2017 , it was always going to be an interesting one to watch . Chinese bikes have had the reputation of being very good value for money but with a tendency to fall apart in front of you . So , how did I find this 650 parallel twin ? What was it like to ride and what were my initial impressions on the build and component quality? Definitely a bike bu...
The MAM Journals -Himalayan 450.The Best Royal Enfield ,so far?
Просмотров 43 тыс.8 месяцев назад
After a pretty wobbly start the New 450, grew on me . Very different from its predecessor the 5 speed 411, and definitely not a japanese tribute trail bike, it has its own unique character and characteristics. The more I rode it , the more I understood it, and the more I liked it . Not perfect , which bike is , they have improved the Himalayan significantly. So is this the best bike they have m...

Bike magazine describe the GT as "The defining "mid size"upright sports-tourer.Not the cheapest ,but easily the best . Fabulous . 10/10" When Kings Two Wheel Centre took one in part exchange , it was the ideal opportunity to try one. How did I get on riding it? What did I think of the specification and triple engine? Do I think it is the Perfect 10? Other MAM Journals can be found at studio.ruc...
