December 17, 2021 Warren's bike of the decade - 1980s
In part two of our series on bikes that made their mark on our senior road technical editor Warren, we discuss the Raleigh Burner.If you were a kid in the 80s, with even the slightest passing interest in two wheels, the Burner was the bike you wanted to get hold of. BMX was massive, with the biggest stars being household names, and as the US BMXs weren't exactly easy to get hold of, the ever growing range of Burners were at the top of every kids' Christmas list.
