Bang For Buck Benelli

All That Glitters Is Orange
The 790 occupies an interesting space in the market. Classifying it on CCs shows it’s not really alone with BMW and Triumph both running engine sizes very similar, but the engine will only be a part of the story with the 790 — and not necessarily the

Two-stroke Fury
When a sandy track is presented to you, a two-stroke is pretty high on the list of bikes you’d choose. The high-revving nature of the beasts make for some serious fun. We spent the afternoon bouncing off sand berms and feeding gears to the 2019 Husqv

Sidi Srs 3 Boots
Sliding on a new pair of Sidi SRS 3 boots was like popping on my favourite pair of runners. Comfortable, worn-in and perfectly suited to my feet. The Sidi SRS 3 boots arrived a few days before the start of the Amcross series, I planned on wearing the
