Here's some news from Motohispania, who have some good news for 16 year olds looking to get on their first two wheeled machine.

More bike - same money

Motorhispania (now MH Bikes), one of Europe’s longest-established motorcycle manufacturers, is now offering more bike for the same money with the new Furia Max range.

Available as a 50cc supermotard or a 50cc enduro machine, the Furia Max now features:

- a stronger, redeveloped tubular chassis

- a more powerful hydraulic rear brake

- black anodised wheels

- new bodywork

Despite the improvements, managed in-house by Motorhispania’s Research and Development department, the new bikes will sell at the same price as the old models - £1,999 inc VAT.

The Furia Max retains the robust and proven Minarelli AM6 watercooled engine.

Motorhispania has also launched the 50cc RYZ range, with three different models – a supermotard (£2,295 inc VAT), an enduro (£2,195 inc VAT) and an urban-style bike, the RYZ Urban (£2,395 inc VAT). Each bike is also available as an uprated ProRace model. The ProRace features:

- 38mm upside-down forks for better handling

- an adjustable rear shock with remote reservoir for improved damping and handling

- wavy discs

- handguards

- redesigned exhaust system

UK importer E. P. Barrus’ Matthew Gilder said “These bikes are from one of Europe’s longest-established bike makers. They really show what years of experience can bring to the market. We’re delighted that we’ve found a way to offer a better bike for the same money.”
