In this week’s first segment, Editors Don Williams and Nic de Sena tell us about the incredibly versatile KTM 890 SMT. Could this bike be an all-rounder? Every rider will see its strengths differently. The SM part stands for Supermoto, however the T actually means touring—and you’re not touring when you’re riding supermoto …or can you? There are even more uses for the SMT that aren’t revealed in the three-letter designation, so Don and Nic push the starter button, and bring the LC8c parallel twin to life.

In our second segment Teejay Adams chats with lady-racer Holly Varey. You may know that Holly was one of the competitors in Royal Enfield’s brilliant BTR racing series in 2022 and 2023, and in the final race she finished on the podium. But there’s a lot more to Holly’s racing and she also wrenches and competes in several different AHRMA historic racing classes on a variety of machinery. Teejay caught up with Holly after the recent Barber Vintage Festival at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, AL. Holly is very articulate and descriptive, so it’s fascinating to hear her talk about how she got started, what motivates her, and about some of the awesome motorcycles she’s ridden along the way.
