Japanese kei camper specialists continue to amaze us by building homes into the tiniest vans. Oka Motors has taken it to another level with the Miniature Cruise Cozy, a micro-camper that transforms to transport, feed, clean and sleep up to three people.

The tiny size that makes the Suzuki Jimny a coveted off-roader also makes it an inhospitable camper. Smile Factory embraces the challenge to offer an impressive Jimny camper complete with full bed, auxiliary power and an indoor/outdoor design.

Each January the Las Vegas motorcycle auctions set the tone for the entire auction year. This year there was only one – Mecum – but it will be the biggest and most important motorcycle auction of 2022, with the most evident trends. Here's what we learned.

The Suzuki GSX-1300R Hayabusa was nothing short of shocking on debut in 1999, instantly becoming the fastest production bike of the century and an icon of speed and function-focused design. And 22 years later, we finally get a ground-up overhaul.

Ever wonder what a Sprinter 4x4 off-road camper van would look like if you shrunk it? It'd look something like this Suzuki Every from Outclass Cars, one of the smallest, most efficiently packaged micro-campers you'll see this year (or any year).

The most cheek-pinchingly adorable 4x4 on the market is now a workhorse. Or a work pony, really. Suzuki New Zealand is selling the mighty mini Jimny as a fully certified "ute" (pickup) conversion, and it's somehow even cuter than the original.

Bonhams Spring and Autumn Stafford Sales are two of the highlights of the global auction year for rare and storied motorcycles. Every year there are records broken, and many of the world's most expensive motorcycles have crossed the block at this venue. This year was no exception.

The motorcycle marketplace is recalibrated each year with the January Las Vegas sales, and this year saw new records and the changing tastes of the buying public. While vintage bikes performed well, the real movers were two-strokes, seventies classics and Japanese motorcycles.

Bonhams' Stafford Motorcycle auctions are held each spring and autumn at the Staffordshire County Showgrounds in the United Kingdom, and these auctions invariably throw up some fascinating motorcycles.

Suzuki's cult classic Katana is back for 2019, a throwback to what many consider the ultimate 1980s sportsbike. There's no pop-up headlight, but the new Katana 3.0 is a very sexy machine that reminds us that the 80s in now well into the retro zone.

Sean Mills, of Big CC Racing in Berkshire, UK, has a serious claim to the world's fastest street-legal motorcycle after rider Phil Hall used his variable boost, stroked-out turbo 'Busa to hit 271 mph (436 kmh) at the recent Straightliners event at Elvington Airstrip.

Suzuki has augmented its hideous but uber-practical V-Strom range with a 250cc-class parallel-twin to welcome a wider range of riders into the soft-road touring family. The V-Strom 250 ABS has 25 horses, plenty of luggage provisions and a face like a locomotive with a beak.
