I chat about the past week, including the GQ Car of the Year Awards.

And I look at the residual values of the 2012 Limited Edition Triumph Scrambler Steve McQueen.

And finally; over-stretching oneself, financially, to buy a vehicle. I chat about some of my experiences.

After having a question from a listener of the channel that I'd never had before, I decided to give it my best shot to answer.

Buying a motorcycle from the year you're born; is it sensible, is it a solid financial investment, and is there actually a bike that you want from that year.

With more and more frequent noise about plans for vehicles to be taxed on a per mile basis (regardless of whether electric, diesel or petrol), I discuss what this means for electric vehicles.

And is it still sensible to look at a bike such as the Ducati 916 as a solid investment, with the electrification of personalised transport?

.

And how Italian is Moto Guzzi? After hearing that many of the parts were manufactured in China, and just the assembly that takes place in Italy, I decide to take a closer look at the reality

I take a look at desirable workhorse of a motorcycle; the generation one Honda Hornet CB900. These bikes have often covered big distances, are not garage queens, but are starting to look like extremely good investments with their rugged build quality and reliability.

And I see what type of Harley Davidson Sportster 1200s are available for around £5,000.

And I check the specs of a bike I'm unspeakably excited about; the incoming Royal Enfield 650 Super Meteor!

I take a look at the 750cc Honda Africa Twin 750 (around the year 2000) to see if this could be a solid investment.

And I look into used Harley Davidson Softail Deluxes in the US, and find a very very tempting offer! I also compare prices in warm states (Florida), compared to cold states New York, Pennsylvania etc, to see if bargains can be found in the colder states.

And does it matter where your motorcycle's made- both from an ethical point of view and also for your own peace of mind?

I take a look at a few motorcycles that I think (or more relevantly- a couple of listeners think) will be future classics in the not too distant future.

All of these bikes are still affordable, but are juuust starting to increase in value.

If you have the space and money, buy these for your collection and look after them- they will be very desirable soon!

The Honda CB1100 X11

The Kawasaki ZRX1200

The Triumph Rocket

BMW R1150GS

And I take a look at two sub £2.5k Japanese missiles!
