LONG TERM UPDATE: 2018 Sherco 450 SEF-R Six Days Part 1
For one reason or another, it feels like ages since I’ve had the privilege of an ADB long-termer in my garage.
LONG TERM UPDATE: 2018 Suzuki RM-Z450 Part 2
There is not much racing this time of year and Christmas is fast approaching so I’ve just been spinning laps and enjoying the RM-Z.
LONG TERM UPDATE: 2018 Yamaha WR250F Part 2
