One Italian brand that isn't heard much of is Cagiva (now owned by MV Augusta). The Mito models were their 125cc sports offering from '89 to '12 and this is the Evo 2 version. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #cagiva #mito #mitoevo2

If a Motard isn't your thing, you can always go for a Dakar Rally (Supermoto) type bike. KTM have their 690 Rally, SMC and Enduro models to fit that gap. This has an Evo2 tank kit for more fuel storage. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #ktm #690rally

Off road bikes with daytime MOTs (no lights needed) are a thing. Fantic have been going in Italy since 1968. I believe this is a Motard model from a few years ago. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #fantic #motard

Some more on common customisations. This Fazer has had the obligatory exhaust change (Blackwidow), an Ermax belly fairing, and also has R&G tank grips - do they work off the track? #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #yamaha #fz1 #fazer

Small capacity motorcycle manufacturers have had a bumpy ride over the last few years. Sinnis is one that has survived. Their bikes may be small but they are cheap with it, and reliability is now good. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #sinnis #hoodlum125

I do post a lot of MTs. Not because I particularly like them, but because they seem so popular and are everywhere. Like this MT-07, with the obligatory Akrapovic exhaust. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #yamaha #mt07

Another day, another red bike, another Ducati. A race-inspired paint scheme on this 899 Panigale - looks the business. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #ducati #panigale #899panigale

It has orange bits so it's always a good guess that it's a KTM. A 1300 Superduke R in fact this time. Nice exhaust system - with an Austin Racing can too (lovely sound to them). #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #ktm #superduker #1300superduker

It's Kawasaki's turn with their Z900. Another name that has historical connections. Most motorcycles have some form of customisation and this is no different with an obligatory Akropovic exhaust. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #kawasaki #z900

The S1000RRs are one of the more popular litre sports bikes in the UK. There are a lot of upgrades available - such as Akropovich exhausts, carbon fibre, and AGV levers. GB Racing crash protection is also popular. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #bmw #s1000rr

Apparently called the FZ-10 in the USA, Yamaha,s MT flagship is the MT-10. This MT-10 SP was a Europe-only model with several upgrades such as Ohlins electronic racing suspension. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #yamaha #mt10sp

Obviously, you can't get more Italian than Ducati? Certainly you can't get any redder. This Panigale V4 R has style, and aero, and a dual colour tank? #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #ducati #panigalev4r #panigale

BMW are taking it to the Italians with this rather red S1000RR complete with Akropovich (which you can't see), long screen, and eye-like headlights. Those pedestrian slicer aerofoils are in vogue right now too. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #bmw #s1000rr

Of course, if it isn't a Fireblade OR R1, then it has to be an S1000RR. Classic colours on this one, though not sure about the sunglasses. Cute matching helmet though. 😂 #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #bmw #s1000rr #s1krr

If it isn't a Fireblade then it must be an R1. This blacked out one seems to be owned by Metrik (electronic music producer Thomas Mundell) but only his gloves remain. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #yamaha #r1

Talking about commuters, the Honda Hornet has been around since 1998 in various guises. The CB750S is the latest guise... though it was so hot out, the rider has evaporated leaving just the jacket. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #honda #hornet #cb750s

From superbikes to super commuters. The Fazer was a reliable sporty machine that could be used as an all-rounder. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #yamaha #fazer #fzs600

Whatever Ducati do, Aprilia can do too. Arguably with more style. This RS660 with it's contrasting paint scheme even has the Italian flag on its nose. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #aprilia #rs660

This is a rather striking paint scheme on this 959. You're not going to miss that anytime soon. Still don't like the double bubble screens but whatever works I guess. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #ducati #panigale959

One bike you can never put down and has an enviable reputation is the Honda Fireblade. They've been excellent in all their guises and colours. #motogp #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #honda #fireblade

Not all Ducatis come in red... this Supersport 950S is resplendent in white. Not sure what the Demons logo on the rider's arm signifies. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #ducati #supersport950s

I haven't posted a Triumph for a while, so here's an round-headlight version Street Triple R - with lovely sounding exhausts, but not sure about the seat colour. 🤔 #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #streettripler

Laurence Mee (Wyrm) @wyrmuk.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
It's Suzuki Wednesday so here's a blacked out GSX-R for your delictation. Despite the exhaust, it has passed track day noise testing going by the sticker on its nose. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #suzuki #gsxr

You don't see KTMs all that often, but here's a nice middleweight one. The Duke 790 (called The Scalpel) has been around since 2017. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #ktm #duke790

Laurence Mee (Wyrm) @wyrmuk.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
It's big and green, but it isn't a Hayabusa. It's a ZZR1400 (Ninja ZX-14) instead... and yes, it's a sports bike but I'm not sure how viable it is on UK roads with all the traffic. 🙂 #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #kawasaki #zzr1400 #ninjazx14

The Z-Thou has a legendary name harking back to the Z-1 of 1972. This Kawasaki Z1000SX is another excellent sports bike in that long line. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #zawasaki #z1000sx

This may cause some comments... it's an electric motorbike from Zero - and was at Rykas causing some interest. It can do 70 and 160 miles between charges (more than my bikes can do between fill-ups). Two Wheels Good. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #zero #zeros

I post pictures of bikes I've seen at various bike meets/cafes. In order, but more often than not there's an MT. The MT-10 is not to be confused with the MT-01 though. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #yamaha #mt10

Some bikes just seem to get bigger over time, such as the GS which here is the R1300GS. I thought the trend in the UK was for smaller capacity machines? #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #bmw #r1300gs

One of the models Triumph came back with in the 90's was the Trident 900. They had sprag clutch issues so in 1993 Triumph changed the starter motor access to be an engine-out job (it wasn't quite like that, just felt like it)! #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #trident900

If a German adventure isn't your style, you can always have an Italian adventure. Love over logic. The Multistrada V4 S will do that for you nicely. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #ducati #multistradav4s

Laurence Mee (Wyrm) @wyrmuk.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
If the GS isn't your thing, you can always go for the Adventure style S1000XR. Based on the S1000R it's been an all-rounder since 2014. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #bmw #s1000xr

The R1250 engine that supplanted the R1200 was also used in a GS model from 2019 to 2023. The definitive 'Adventure' bike got more performance to rival it's competitors. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #bmw #r1250gs

If you like sporty twins that you can also tour on, then the BMW R1200RT (Reise-Tourer = Travel Tourer) could be an excellent second-hand buy. It was air-cooled up to 2013 and water cooled after. Replaced by the R1250RT in 2020. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #bmw #r1200rt

There's something nice about an old Fire blade. Sure, the tail may look out of style, but it still looks the business overall. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #honda #fireblade

Possibly a good step-up bike for a learner is the CB650R. It's even got Honda's e-clutch which automates using the clutch (if you don't touch the lever). Handles well too. #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #honda #cb650r

Must be a stealth Aprilia - what with all the lovely carbon fibre. Apparently, Dan Goes Ape on it - at least that's what his handle suggests. 🙂 #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #aprilia

Laurence Mee (Wyrm) @wyrmuk.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
Some people are content with limiting customising to stickers and bolt-on bits - such as Throttleking (WHO5 DAT) here with his Fake Taxi sporting carbon fibre and an IXRace exhaust (French design). #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #honda #ixrace
