Welcome to the Summer 2025 edition of the Moto-Kulture Magazine.
For this edition, we bring you something very special indeed. Something diverse, thought-provoking and extensive.
Firstly, we bring you and extract from Volume One of our Canadian Memoire. In this one we cover the riding scene in Canada and some of the amazing routes that are there to be explored. You can grab a copy of the Full Memoire by visiting our website.
Next, we subject Yamaha’s MT-09SP to a long-term test. It’s a super-naked middleweight and, for 2025, Yamaha has further refined the formula. We ask whether this could be one of the best all-round, affordable road bikes that you can buy. To see the full MT-09SP review, its competitive landscape and our video commentary, please visit our website.
As temperatures soar, we bring you some practical advice on keeping cool while you’re riding. Taking a few simple measures can make all the difference to your riding enjoyment and help keep you safe.
Sticking with maximizing your riding enjoyment, did you know that keeping your bike in tip-top condition is not as hard as you may think? Follow our simple guide to get the most out of your machine and avoid unwelcome expenses.
Next, we look at road safety and what you can do to help a rider who’s had an accident. We look at ‘Biker Down,’ a programme that equips riders with practical incident management and first aid skills that can save lives. We urge you to book one of their courses (they are FREE of charge), to equip you with life-saving skills.
Next, we look at two riders and their entirely different experiences. First we have Elizabeth and her journey from a muddy field to exploits on the race track. Secondly, we bring you a riders trip India and the immersion in that ancient culture.
There’s also a whole lot more to discover.
As always, please keep that feedback coming and let me know what articles you want us to cover. Thank you all for your continued support and, from everyone here at the Moto-Kulture team, keep smiling and ride safe.
