Taste of adventure
Freedom and adventure have been right at the heart of motorcycling’s unique appeal ever since the first riders disappeared down the nearest deserted back road in search of a fresh challenge.
Today, the desire to grab a jacket and escape everything for a few days on a motorcycle is as alluring as ever and is the inspiration for the Buell Ulysses Adventure Trek - a new experience offered by Buell Motorcycles UK.
Located in Mid Wales, the Buell Ulysses Adventure Trek offers motorcyclists the chance to enjoy the winning combination of miles of virtually traffic-free roads, thousands of acres of spectacular landscape as a backdrop for their trip, as well as the opportunity to immerse themselves in their riding.

Honda’s sparkling 2007 line-up – see them first at the NEC!
Honda’s stunning new machines for 2007 will be seen for the first time in the UK at the annual International Motorcycle and Scooter Show at Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre.
The show – which runs from 27 October to 5 November – promises to be one of the best ever, with a host of attractions, including Honda’s My First Licence Scheme and the presentation of the Bennetts British Superbike title to Honda’s Ryuichi Kiyonari. But for many it’s the bikes that make the show and Honda’s seven new machines will be the most popular draw.
New 2007 Hornet 600
Honda have released pictures and info on the 2007 Hornet 600 model, which has funky new styling, mass centralisation to improve the handling, new `400/4 tribute’ exhaust and a tweaked version of the CBR600RR motor.
The new styling certainly improves the Hornet’s image, with a mix of aggressive curves, angles and an exhaust system which echoes the sweeping curvaceousness of the old 400/4 system of the 70s. Groovy baby.
The Hornet also has a new box section swingarm, a new monoshock at the back, plus 41mm USD forks improving suspension at the front of the bike. There’s a bigger 19 litre fuel tank - hopefully that doesn’t mean that the new Hornet is even thirstier on fuel than the old one.
