The Approved list

Not a star rating. A sticker.

We're two riders, one short and one tall. Most things we try get an honest write-up and nothing more. The few that work so well we'd tell a friend get a sticker.

Each one has its own write-up and video, so you can make your own mind up. Nobody pays for a sticker. Our promise

    Honda CB750 Hornet E-Clutch

    Mel, 5ft (153cm)

    Would we tell a friend? Yes.
