THE KIWI TEEN CHASING A WIN IN JAPAN 🇳🇿🇯🇵

Christchurch 16-year-old Hunter Charlett has endured more than his share of bad luck during his first three rounds of the Yamaha R3 BLU CRU Asia-Pacific Championship.

But the pace is there.

Now the only Kiwi in the international development series heads to Motegi with a very clear goal:

“I want to win because I know I can do it.”

Can Japan finally deliver the result his speed deserves?

More than 30 years after John Britten’s death, Mike Perro has helped make somewhere you can get properly up close with the motorcycles – and the story – that made Britten a motorcycling legend.

The John Britten Museum in Christchurch includes two V1000s, three earlier Britten machines and a fascinating collection of components, archive material and personal history.

But this is about much more than a famous pink-and-blue motorcycle.

Dave Britten paid a visit and came away understanding considerably more about the extraordinary New Zealander behind it.

We visit the John Britten Museum in Christchurch, home to legendary Britten V1000s and the remarkable story behind their Kiwi creator.

It certainly looks the part… but is that enough?

BSA is back with another big single, this time wrapped in a seriously good-looking scrambler package.

We’ve spent some time with the Scrambler 650 and discovered there’s plenty to like beyond the styling – including handling that genuinely surprised us.

There are also a few areas that show where the $11,990 price point comes into play, but is it enough to dampen the experience?
