Yup, 2017 is upon us, and with it we’ll all be presented with a raft of delicious new metal to salivate over, there will be all manner of used bargains to tempt us, products will be begging to be bought, a hundred races will want to be watched and a world’s worth of experiences are out there waiting to be sampled.
The first salvos of 2017’s battles have already been fired, with KTM, Kawasaki and Yamaha already presenting a selection of their finest before 2016 was even over. Trips to Qatar and Spain have given us a sneak preview of the year ahead – and it’s all looking sensational! Brilliant revisions, ace electronics, sublime roads and unique experiences have combined to offer us the insight that we need to make the rest of winter bearable.
