18.01.2022 In forthcoming issues Australian Road Rider is having a deep-dive into GPS navigation and we're almost drowning. From tracks to routes to GPX files and POIs, the marvels of GPS start to become very, very complex, but we're starting to get our heads around it all. In Part One, issue #157, we take a look at devices like the Beeline and TomTom Rider 550 in contrast to just using your smartphone. In #158, we are taking a deeper dive into getting the best out of GPS. Have you t...ried GPS navigation beyond asking Google Maps to direct you home? Have you bought a GPS unit and given up on it or is it something you use every time you ride? Let us know in the comments suggestions for other readers are welcome, too. See more

13.01.2022 Lightweight, powerful and easy to manage, the new 660 Tuono from Aprilia should appeal to a huge range of riders when it hits showrooms around mid 2021. Joining the RS660 in the line up and sharing many components, the new Tuono is aimed at younger riders with less experience and a smaller budget than the Tuono V4. In standard trim it’s a 70kW machine weighing in at just 183kg ready to ride, although there will be a 35kW LAMS-approved version available for those who don’t yet... have a full licence. Although often thought of as a naked, the Tuono does feature wind-tunnel designed bodywork, not for weather protection but for improved handling and stability. With adjustable Kayaba suspension, an aluminium chassis, class-leading electronics including a ride-by-wire throttle and five riding modes, the new Tuono has a very long list of premium features.
