It seems Honda has taken the first steps, regarding motorcycling, to save the planet from vile oil produced plastics. The green panels on this latest derivative of its superb NC750X DCT are made from, wait for it, a corn based material. It’s called Durabio and combines the corn with a recycled polycarbonate resin. How it’s made is a technical mystery to me but an impressive piece of ‘green’ engineering to say the least!

Yamaha’s MT-09 has always been one of my favourite naked bikes, a fact confirmed by the eager buyers in Europe. The first MT-09 was unveiled to the public in 2013 and since then over 100,000 units have been sold in Europe alone, a colossal retail success of note, right? Last year MCN UK also made the standard MT-09 their 2024 Naked Bike of the Year, an enviable accolade on all counts for sure enforcing the MT-09's application.

Since then the 890 Adventure R had an update in 2023, mainly cosmetic, with a few technical additions and superior suspension.
