In Episode 1, I start bringing it back to life: replacing the dead battery, sorting out a broken indicator, and fitting an INNOVV motorcycle camera system. But this isn&#x2019;t just a workshop project. The plan is to get the Hanway fully road legal, work through whatever problems it throws at me, and eventually take it on a proper adventure &#x2014; while putting the INNOVV system through its paces and showing what it can actually do out on the road. Will this forgotten little bike turn into a genuine adventure machine? There&#x2019;s only one way to find out. Subscribe and follow the series as we bring the Hanway G30 back from the dead.

After checking the bike over, changing the oil, getting the suspension and tyres sorted, and getting myself prepared, it&#x2019;s finally time to hit the track. And there&#x2019;s a LOT to learn. This is my first track day, so expect plenty of nerves, plenty of mistakes, some questionable lines&#x2026; and hopefully a few moments where I actually look like I know what I&#x2019;m doing! &#x1F602; I&#x2019;ll take you along for the whole experience &#x2014; from arriving at the track and getting prepared, through the sessions, learning the circuit and trying to get faster throughout the day.

Spring is just around the corner, Kiwi riders are starting to think about the summer riding season, and the mid-capacity adventure category is arguably hotter than it has ever been.</p><p>At $9,390, the All-TrHike suddenly becomes very difficult to ignore.</p><h2 id="a-familiar-heart">A familiar heart</h2><p>One of the more interesting aspects of the All-TrHike is what sits underneath it.</p><p>Its 449cc parallel-twin engine is sourced from CFMOTO, giving it close mechanical ties to the hugely popular <strong>CFMOTO 450MT</strong>.</p><p>That means the Moto Morini shares much of the fundamental engine platform that has helped turn the 450MT into one of the breakout adventure bikes of the past couple of years.</p><p>Moto Morini then wraps that engine in its own chassis, suspension setup, styling and distinctly Italian take on the lightweight adventure formula.</p><p>The result is a bike aimed squarely at riders who want something genuinely capable away from the seal without stepping up to the size, weight and cost of a traditional big-bore adventure machine.</p><h2 id="proper-adventure-hardware">Proper adventure hardware</h2><p>This isn&#x2019;t simply a road bike dressed up with a beak and some hand guards, either.</p><p>The All-TrHike runs a proper <strong>21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel combination</strong>, long-travel KYB suspension and switchable ABS, giving it the sort of basic ingredients riders expect from a motorcycle with genuine off-road intentions.</p><p>An 18-litre fuel tank adds useful touring range, while the 847mm seat height should remain approachable for a broad range of riders.</p><p>Moto Morini claims a dry weight of 170kg, which puts the All-TrHike firmly at the manageable end of the adventure-bike spectrum.</p><p>It uses a steel chassis paired with an aluminium swingarm, with ergonomics designed to work both sitting down on the road and standing up once the going gets rough.</p><h2 id="small-adventure-bikes-are-getting-serious">Small adventure bikes are getting serious</h2><p>The new generation of 400&#x2013;500cc twin-cylinder adventure bikes has changed expectations around what a smaller-capacity ADV machine can do.</p><p>That point was hammered home at the <strong>2026 Red Bull Romaniacs</strong>, where 450-class adventure motorcycles lined up to tackle one of the toughest off-road events on the planet.</p><p>Adventure-class competitors faced roughly 120&#x2013;180km of riding per race day through Romania&#x2019;s Carpathian Mountains &#x2014; terrain a long way removed from a leisurely gravel-road tour.</p><p>It&#x2019;s a reminder that you don&#x2019;t necessarily need 1200cc and 250kg beneath you to have a proper adventure.</p><p>And that&#x2019;s exactly where Moto Morini believes the All-TrHike belongs.</p><p>&#x201C;The lightweight adventure category is one of the most exciting parts of the motorcycle market right now, and we genuinely believe the All-TrHike deserves to be part of that conversation,&#x201D; says Moto Morini Brand Manager Ray Heron.</p><p>&#x201C;It&#x2019;s an incredibly capable package with a proven engine platform, serious suspension and off-road equipment, and plenty of unmistakable Moto Morini character.</p><p>&#x201C;At $9,390, we think it represents exceptional value.</p><p>&#x201C;The best way to build the Moto Morini brand in New Zealand is simply to get more people riding the bikes. This offer gives riders who may not previously have considered an All-TrHike a very good reason to go into their local dealer and take a closer look.&#x201D;</p><h2 id="9390-while-stocks-last">$9,390 while stocks last</h2><p>The deal drops the All-TrHike firmly into value territory.</p><p><strong>Moto Morini All-TrHike 450</strong></p><ul><li>Promotional price: <strong>$9,390 + ORC</strong></li><li>Regular price: <strong>$9,990 + ORC</strong></li><li>Saving: <strong>$600</strong></li><li>Engine: <strong>449cc parallel twin</strong></li><li>Wheels: <strong>21-inch front / 18-inch rear</strong></li><li>Suspension: <strong>Long-travel KYB</strong></li><li>Fuel capacity: <strong>18 litres</strong></li><li>Seat height: <strong>847mm</strong></li><li>Claimed dry weight: <strong>170kg</strong></li><li>ABS: <strong>Switchable</strong></li></ul><p>There is one important catch: <strong>the promotion is strictly limited to All-TrHike motorcycles currently in New Zealand.</strong></p><p>There&#x2019;s no endless factory rebate and no guarantee the price will be repeated once that stock has disappeared.</p><p>For riders shopping in the lightweight adventure class heading into summer, that makes the All-TrHike an intriguing proposition.</p><p>We already know what this new generation of 450cc adventure bikes is capable of.</p><p>At <strong>$9,390</strong>, the Moto Morini just became a whole lot harder to overlook.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-gallery-card kg-width-wide"><div class="kg-gallery-container"><div class="kg-gallery-row"><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://www.motonz.com/content/images/2026/08/DSC01648.JPG" width="2000" height="3000" loading="lazy" alt="Moto Morini Slashes AllTrHike 450 Price to $9,390" srcset="https://www.motonz.com/content/images/size/w600/2026/08/DSC01648.JPG 600w, https://www.motonz.com/content/images/size/w1000/2026/08/DSC01648.JPG 1000w, https://www.motonz.com/content/images/size/w1600/2026/08/DSC01648.JPG 1600w, https://www.motonz.com/content/images/size/w2400/2026/08/DSC01648.JPG 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></div><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://www.motonz.com/content/images/2026/08/DSC01666.JPG" width="2000" height="1333" loading="lazy" alt="Moto Morini Slashes AllTrHike 450 Price to $9,390" srcset="https://www.motonz.com/content/images/size/w600/2026/08/DSC01666.JPG 600w, https://www.motonz.com/content/images/size/w1000/2026/08/DSC01666.JPG 1000w, https://www.motonz.com/content/images/size/w1600/2026/08/DSC01666.JPG 1600w, https://www.motonz.com/content/images/size/w2400/2026/08/DSC01666.JPG 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></div><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://www.motonz.com/content/images/2026/08/DSC01748.JPG" width="2000" height="3000" loading="lazy" alt="Moto Morini Slashes AllTrHike 450 Price to $9,390" srcset="https://www.motonz.com/content/images/size/w600/2026/08/DSC01748.JPG 600w, https://www.motonz.com/content/images/size/w1000/2026/08/DSC01748.JPG 1000w, https://www.motonz.com/content/images/size/w1600/2026/08/DSC01748.JPG 1600w, https://www.motonz.com/content/images/size/w2400/2026/08/DSC01748.JPG 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></div></div><div class="kg-gallery-row"><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://www.motonz.com/content/images/2026/08/DSC01816.JPG" width="2000" height="1333" loading="lazy" alt="Moto Morini Slashes AllTrHike 450 Price to $9,390" srcset="https://www.motonz.com/content/images/size/w600/2026/08/DSC01816.JPG 600w, https://www.motonz.com/content/images/size/w1000/2026/08/DSC01816.JPG 1000w, https://www.motonz.com/content/images/size/w1600/2026/08/DSC01816.JPG 1600w, https://www.motonz.com/content/images/size/w2400/2026/08/DSC01816.JPG 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></div><div class="kg-gallery-image"><img src="https://www.motonz.com/content/images/2026/08/DSC08287.JPG" width="2000" height="1333" loading="lazy" alt="Moto Morini Slashes AllTrHike 450 Price to $9,390" srcset="https://www.motonz.com/content/images/size/w600/2026/08/DSC08287.JPG 600w, https://www.motonz.com/content/images/size/w1000/2026/08/DSC08287.JPG 1000w, https://www.motonz.com/content/images/size/w1600/2026/08/DSC08287.JPG 1600w, https://www.motonz.com/content/images/size/w2400/2026/08/DSC08287.JPG 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></div></div></div></figure>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[CARDO MESH BOOST IS FINALLY HERE! | Updating My PACKTALK EDGE]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Cardo has finally announced Mesh Boost, and in this video I go through the press release to find out exactly what it is, what it does, and why it could be a pretty big deal for motorcycle intercom users.

They&#x2019;re about that big transverse V-twin rocking underneath you, shaft drive, Italian styling and doing things a little differently from everyone else.</p><p>Now they&#x2019;re considerably cheaper too.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://www.motonz.com/content/images/2026/08/PS526761.jpeg" class="kg-image" alt="Moto Guzzi Turns Up the Temptation With Big Savings on Stelvio and V7 Models" loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1333" srcset="https://www.motonz.com/content/images/size/w600/2026/08/PS526761.jpeg 600w, https://www.motonz.com/content/images/size/w1000/2026/08/PS526761.jpeg 1000w, https://www.motonz.com/content/images/size/w1600/2026/08/PS526761.jpeg 1600w, https://www.motonz.com/content/images/size/w2400/2026/08/PS526761.jpeg 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><h2 id="stelvio-drops-to-26990">Stelvio Drops to $26,990</h2><p>The headline deal is on Moto Guzzi&#x2019;s <strong>Stelvio</strong>, which drops from its previous $31,490 RRP to <strong>$26,990</strong> &#x2014; a saving of $4,500.</p><p>On top of that, Moto Guzzi NZ is including the radar-based <strong>Following Cruise Control (FCC)</strong> upgrade at no additional cost.</p><p>Powered by Moto Guzzi&#x2019;s 1,043cc liquid-cooled Compact Block transverse V-twin, the Stelvio represents the modern side of the brand.</p><p>There&#x2019;s a six-axis IMU, cornering ABS, configurable rider modes, an electrically adjustable windscreen, a 21-litre fuel tank and tubeless spoked wheels, all wrapped into a bike designed to cover serious distances.</p><p>The addition of Following Cruise Control gives the Stelvio the ability to automatically adjust its speed relative to surrounding traffic, adding another useful layer to its long-distance touring credentials.</p><p>At $26,990, the Stelvio suddenly looks like a much more serious proposition in the crowded adventure-touring market.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://www.motonz.com/content/images/2026/08/MG_V7-Special_Nero-Smeraldo_Lat-dx.jpg" class="kg-image" alt="Moto Guzzi Turns Up the Temptation With Big Savings on Stelvio and V7 Models" loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1124" srcset="https://www.motonz.com/content/images/size/w600/2026/08/MG_V7-Special_Nero-Smeraldo_Lat-dx.jpg 600w, https://www.motonz.com/content/images/size/w1000/2026/08/MG_V7-Special_Nero-Smeraldo_Lat-dx.jpg 1000w, https://www.motonz.com/content/images/size/w1600/2026/08/MG_V7-Special_Nero-Smeraldo_Lat-dx.jpg 1600w, https://www.motonz.com/content/images/size/w2400/2026/08/MG_V7-Special_Nero-Smeraldo_Lat-dx.jpg 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><h2 id="big-cuts-across-the-v7-range">Big Cuts Across the V7 Range</h2><p>If your idea of a Moto Guzzi is something a little more traditional, there are equally substantial savings across the V7 family.</p><p>The rather tasty <strong>V7 Stone Corsa</strong> has been reduced from $19,990 to <strong>$15,990</strong>, knocking a sizeable $4,000 off the price.</p><p>The <strong>V7 Special Edition</strong> also lands at <strong>$15,990</strong>, down from $19,290.

So what exactly is the new Triumph Daytona 660?

Triumph has also confirmed that the engine&#x2019;s capacity will change, although the final specification has not yet been revealed.</p><h2 id="more-power-and-less-weight">More power and less weight</h2><p>A major focus of the development programme has been increasing airflow into the cylinders.</p><p>The engine features a completely redesigned cylinder head, higher-flow ports, a new combustion chamber and a low-inertia valvetrain. These changes have allowed Triumph to increase the compression ratio and improve torque delivery across the rev range.</p><p>The crankcases and internal components have also been redesigned to withstand the additional power and torque while maintaining the reliability required for a one-make engine formula.</p><p>Despite the stronger internal construction, the new engine is two kilograms lighter than the current Moto2 powerplant.</p><p>Triumph Chief Product Officer Steve Sargent said the new engine represented another major step in the company&#x2019;s relationship with MotoGP.</p><p>&#x201C;We have always strived to develop the Moto2 World Championship ever since we began powering the middleweight class in 2019,&#x201D; Sargent said.</p><p>&#x201C;We&#x2019;ve introduced more power, we&#x2019;ve seen gearbox changes and now we&#x2019;ve introduced a brand-new, high-performance race engine that will be powering the Moto2 series from 2027.&#x201D;</p><p>Sargent said the engine had already undergone an extensive testing programme focused on performance, reliability and longevity.</p><h2 id="new-engines-will-require-new-chassis">New engines will require new chassis</h2><p>The changes are significant enough that Moto2 chassis manufacturers will need to develop completely new frames for the 2027 season.</p><p>The revised engine will feature different mounting points and a new intake position, requiring manufacturers to rethink the packaging and overall design of their motorcycles.</p><p>Triumph has been working with the Moto2 chassis manufacturers for the past 12 months, providing the technical information needed to begin development.</p><p>Engines will soon be supplied to Moto2 teams, with private testing already underway ahead of the engine&#x2019;s first public on-track appearance later in 2026.</p><p>MotoGP Sporting Director Alfonso Cartujo said the project demonstrated Triumph&#x2019;s commitment to continuing the development of the Moto2 category.</p><p>&#x201C;Their ambition to evolve and improve only continues to grow, and its rewards are proven on track as Moto2 only gets better,&#x201D; Cartujo said.</p><p>&#x201C;Now it will get even more powerful, and we&#x2019;re excited to see these new engine developments take to the track.&#x201D;</p><h2 id="nearly-two-million-kilometres-of-development">Nearly two million kilometres of development</h2><p>Since entering Moto2 in 2019, Triumph&#x2019;s engines have completed a combined 1,926,132 kilometres of racing and testing.</p><p>The company has used race data and direct rider feedback to continually refine the engine package, including previous updates to power delivery and the gearbox.</p><p>Triumph says close to 100 all-time and race lap records have been broken during its involvement in the championship, while the Moto2 triple has also powered a generation of riders who have progressed into MotoGP.</p><p>The new engine is scheduled to make its competitive debut at the beginning of the 2027 Moto2 World Championship, with further technical details expected to be announced as testing progresses.</p><p>Home, away and third shirts offer different ways to represent a team. When choosing between fan and player cuts, <a href="https://www.camisetatienda.com/categoria-producto/camisetas-de-futbol-de-clubes/serie-a/camiseta-del-ac-milan/?ref=motonz.com">AC Milan jersey</a>&#xFF08;<a href="https://www.camisetatienda.com/categoria-producto/camisetas-de-futbol-de-clubes/serie-a/camiseta-del-ac-milan/?ref=motonz.com">camiseta del AC Milan</a>&#xFF09; points to the correct shirt context. Reviewing several seasons can reveal how a team&apos;s visual identity has evolved.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can the NEW GoPro Mic Replace My Helmet Mic? | Motorcycle Vlog Test with the Mission 1 Pro]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>I&#x2019;ve been searching for the ultimate motorcycle vlogging audio setup, so when GoPro released their new wireless mic, I had to find out if it could replace my usual in-helmet microphone.
