For more than thirty years, JUST BIKES magazine has been the go-to-for those who want to buy, sell and dream about motorcycles. From the latest road bike to a vintage commuter, from bigdollar customs to bargainpriced bangers, as well as dirt bikes, trials bikes, enduros, scooters, trikes, quads, SSVs and home-built two-and-three-wheel creations that defy categorisation, JUST BIKES has been a popular marketplace for motorcycles of all ages, sizes, styles and prices. The JUST BIKES that’s known and loved today started as JUST MOTOR BIKES in 1989 – June, 1989, to be exact, with the first issue hitting newsstands just a couple of months after the first ever Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix. Like the Aussie GP, JUST BIKES magazine has changed a lot since that debut year. And as the…

An as-new example of Honda’s RC213V-S has set what’s claimed to be a new world record for the most expensive Japanese motorcycle sold at auction. The ‘MotoGP bike for the road’, complete with shipping crate and optional race kit, was auctioned through automotive marketplace Collecting Cars in December. When it was released in 2015, the RC213V-S was the ultimate Honda roadgoing motorcycle, developed by Honda Racing Corporation and based heavily on the RC213V MotoGP bike. Power came from a 999cc liquid-cooled four-stroke V4 engine producing a claimed 117kW and 101Nm, while the addition of an optional sports kit (including a different ECU, quickshifter, datalogger, brakes, sprocket set and other gear) for circuit use increased those maximums to 158kW and 118Nm. The high-spec engine sat in a hand-built aluminium frame, matched…

Yamaha Racing Team have confirmed their rider lineup for the 2022 Australian Superbike Championship, with Cru Halliday returning and Mike Jones signing on in place of Aiden Wagner. Jones’s one-year deal with Yamaha Racing Team (YRT) was confirmed on 21 December and will see the 27-year-old Queenslander return to Yamaha for the first time since 2013. Jones’s early history with Yamaha included winning the Australian Superstock 600 Championship on a YZF-R6 in 2011, after which he spent time in the European Superstock 600 and 1000 Championships, as well as the Spanish Superbike Championship, with wildcard starts in MotoGP and World Superbikes, too. In the Australian Superbike Championship (ASBK), Jones was champion with Kawasaki in 2015 and Ducati in 2019, so the move to Yamaha means he’ll be aiming for his…

Kymco Australia have launched a special summer ride-away promotion for their Agility RS125 model. For a limited time, the versatile, LAMS-approved urban scooter will be available for $3,290 ride away, saving potentially hundreds on the regular ride away price. The Agility RS125 is powered by an air-cooled 125cc single-cylinder engine with a listed 6.9kW at 7500rpm and the convenience of twist-and-go CVT automatic transmission. The Agility RS125 is fuel efficient, which along with the standard heavy-duty rear carry rack, universal phone mount on the handlebars and USB charging port, makes it ideal for delivery duty. With simple analogue instrumentation, halogen lighting, kick-start back-up to the electric starter and no ABS, the Agility RS 125 isn’t the latest word in modern technology, but as a reliable and practical urban commuter, it’s…

Australia’s Lawrence brothers, Hunter and Jett, have changed their plans for this year’s AMA Supercross 250SX Championship with Team Honda HRC. Last year, Jett finished third in AMA Supercross 250SX East and won the AMA Pro Motocross 250 National Championship, while Hunter was runner-up in 250SX West and finished third in the 250 National Championship behind his younger brother. This season, the plan had been for the brothers to trade Supercross regions, but a training crash that Jett suffered in December and resulting rib injury would have compromised his start to the 250SX West season at Anaheim in January. With the 250SX East season starting later, Team Honda HRC made the practical decision to abandon the region swap. That means 22-year-old Hunter will remain in 250SX West, allowing 18-year-old Jett…

Crash your bike, get it fixed with new factory parts. That’s the path most would take, right? But sometimes, the problem of a crash can be seen as an opportunity to remake a bike in a whole new image. That was the path taken with this Royal Enfield Continental GT650, which was given a new look – and a new life – thanks to the talented Jose “Pepo” Rosell. A well-known name in the custom motorcycle scene, Rosell has been in the business of building bikes for more than two decades, working solely with Ducatis initially, but since he founded ‘XTR Pepo’ (Extreme Pepo) in 2015, Rosell has broadened beyond the Bologna brand. Base units for XTR Pepo builds have included all the Japanese marques, as well as BMW, Harley-Davidson,…

Beta’s RX300 limited-edition two-stroke motocross bike is coming to Australia, thanks to a deal secured between Betamotor and local distributors, Beta Motorcycles Australia. Betamotor went against modern MX convention somewhat in choosing a two-stroke engine for the RX300, which is based on the 293cc single from their existing RR300 Racing Enduro and released in 2020. Retuned for motocross application, the RX300 also saw the Keihin carb upsized to 38mm, oil-injection replaced with premix lubrication and an Arrow exhaust fitted. Other changes included modifications to the frame, adding a 19-inch rear wheel and stiffer KYB front and Sachs rear suspension. Features carried over from the RR300 for the RX300 included the engine’s adjustable power valve, two power modes and electric starting, along with the Brembo hydraulic clutch and six-speed gearbox. The…

CFMoto have sweetened the deal on their 150NK commuter with a special promotion for summer. Until 31 March, 2022, all customers who purchase a new 150NK from a CFMoto dealer will receive a CFMoto full-face helmet and summer riding jacket. Valued at a combined $349, the jacket and helmet are included free for the duration of the promotion (helmet and jacket styles will vary). LAMS-approved, the 150NK is a beginner rider’s best friend: light and easy to change direction, with commanding ergonomics, a low seat height, LED lighting and disc brakes front and rear, the 150NK wraps all this in a package that’s sharply styled. The 149.4cc single-cylinder engine powering the 150NK offers punchy inner-city performance of 10.7kW and 12.2Nm, matched to a six-speed transmission. Plush suspension combines a USD…

If you’re of a certain age, Yamaha’s RD 350LC needs no introduction. Released in 1980 in both 250ccand 350cc form, the RD 350LC may have looked like a vanilla commuter, but its peppy twostroke parallel twin engine and race-developed componentry meant it was virtually a TZ350 GP bike with lights and indicators. That made it a winner not only on the road with wannabe racers, but with actual racers in proddie class championships around the world. Superseded by the YPVS variant in 1983 (aka the RZ350) and discontinued a year later, the RD 350LC continued to be the bike of choice for the eager young motorcyclist for most of the decade. Now, almost 40 years since it last graced a Yamaha showroom as a new bike, the LC is coming…
