BikingMilbank BikeSocial Consumer Editor, John owns a BMW S1000XR and Honda Grom. He's as happy tinkering in the workshop as he is on twisty backroads, and loves every bike ever built (except one). He's bought three CBR600s, a KTM 1050 Adventure, Yamaha MT-10, two Ducati Monsters, several winter hacks, three off-roaders, a supermoto pit bike, a Honda Vision 50 and built his own custom XSR700.
Whether you’re looking for presents for a motorcycle-riding partner or friend, or simply want some inspiration for yourself, BikeSocial’s got some great gift ideas…
Keis J501 Heated Jacket | £199.99
Keep warm on the bike in any weather with this new Keis heated jacket, which includes a free controller and all the wiring required to get set up on any 12V motorcycle.
Evotech Performance brake levers | £109.99 per pair
These folding levers are CNC machined from billet aluminium with an anodised black finish. They’ll flip out of the way if you drop the bike, meaning you can still ride when they’re folded back down. Available for a wide range of bikes.
Made of 22mm steel tube, these powder-coated bars protect the engine casings of the BMW R1200RT, Triumph Tiger, Aprilia Caponord, RnineT, R1200GS and many other bikes.
Designed for commuters, the Urban connects to your phone and sat-nav for directions, calls and music. It’s also got its own FM radio, and can link to a pillion rider’s unit (it’s not designed for bike-to-bike use).
With a retro-style turned-over collar, vintage effect metal zips and quilted details, the Cruz includes CE-approved armour in the shoulders and elbows.
With their aluminium bodies, these ECE-approved indicators illuminate from the inside of the bike out, for a distinctive alternative to the OE flashers.
