Motorcycle Mojo’s first group comparison of the year features the sub-400 sport bike class fighting it out on the racetrack and looking for bragging rights in this ultra competitive class.

This month’s instalment of Unobtainium finds Alan Cathcart on another first ride, as he throws a leg over the new Ariel Ace V4 Sport, and evaluates the return of this famed British marque.

Gracing the cover this month is the 2015 Yamaha Bolt C-Spec, the café’d version of Yamaha’s top selling Bolt cruiser. We spent several days with this new variant and put on some hard kilometres to find out what it’s made of.

This month’s travel stories come from opposite ends of the environmental spectrum: Curtis Nickel rides deep into the wilderness in search of Alaskan ghost towns and an almost forgotten past, and Frank Simon takes us to Painted Rock, in the arid desert of Arizona where many have left their mark, and where real-life monsters still roam.

Then we’ll tell you how to ride before you buy in our demo ride guide, Your Ticket To Ride. And as always, there’s Mojo Garage with Costa Mouzouris, our regular columnists: Misti Hurst, Stu Seaton, and Clinton Smout and so much more, in the September/October 2015 issue of Motorcycle Mojo.
