How did the deal come about to replace the Suzukis in your fleet with GasGas bikes – and why did you go specifically for the EC 350F? We had been running a fleet of Suzukis for the past 20 years, but due to supply issues, it made sense to make a change. We were also looking to move away from carburettors to a fuel-injected bike. We had been running a couple of KTM EXC 350s for years, so we went with GasGas as we knew what we would be getting. They’re virtually the same bike - KTMs in red clothes! Given that GasGas offer 4-stroke and 2-stroke enduros, why did you choose the EC 350F over the EC 300? The 300 can’t do the miles, so we have to run…

Hot on the heels of announcing the 2023 version of their S 1000 RR superbike, BMW Motorrad has revealed details on the M 1000 RR that’s the basis for their entry in the World Superbike Championship. Given the MY23 S 1000 RR has gained some components that were previously exclusive to the M 1000 RR, it raised some questions on where the latter could go for its 2023 version. It turns out that BMW Motorrad has ensured the M 1000 RR holds the advantage over the S1000 RR with slightly higher horsepower and more premium componentry, while adding a new fairing and improved aerodynamics. These new and additional aerodynamic elements have increased top speed without alterations to the engine, frame and most of the other cycle parts. “We have achieved an…

What’s your experience been with dirt bikes prior to joining Cape York M/C Adventures? Former professional rider, with eleven years racing for Honda Colombia on the 250CR 2-stroke Honda and 450CRF 4-stroke. I spent four years racing the World Enduro Championship in Europe, based in France and riding for Italian and French teams. I’m also a two-time winner in the Continental Enduro Championships and a member of the World Champion 2014 Factory Racing Team. What experience did you have with GasGas before the new EC 350F was added to the CYMCA fleet? I raced GasGas 250 2-strokes back in 2005. However, that was long before KTM bought GasGas, so I would really say no experience. On the testing of the EC 350F that you did, what was involved and what…

Held Sambia Gloves TESTED BY PHIL SURIANO Riding in hot and cold, wet and dry gives you a great chance to really identify what gear works and what doesn’t. Held’s Sambia gloves are most definitely in the “works” category! I picked up the Sambias for a three-day group ride out of Cairns on the Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 Special. This was back in June, but even at that time of the year, the temperature in that part of Queensland hits 30+ degrees, so you need gloves that offer good protection, but are light and breathable, too. Given the riding was primarily on gravel and paved roads, mixed with 4x4 trails and off-the-beaten-path tracks, I really needed a dual-purpose glove, so Ray from Made in Germany recommended the Sambia. With abrasion-resistant…
