TAMP Season 8 Episode 7 Chris Northover

Chris Northover is one of those rare riders who can make a motorcycle look like an extension of pure instinct. As the face of Bike World TV, he’s earned a reputation for sharp insight, effortless skill, and a presenting style that feels more like chatting with a mate in the paddock than watching a show. He brings a mix of humour, honesty, and proper riding talent that makes even the most technical topics feel accessible and fun.

Beyond the on‑camera charisma, Chris has a genuine love for bikes and the people who ride them. He champions good storytelling, celebrates the wider riding community, and never takes himself too seriously despite being seriously good at what he does. He’s one of those figures who lifts the whole scene simply by being in it.

In this engaging interview Chris shares his journey from childhood trials riding to European Superstock racing, and his transition into motorcycle journalism and television.  Shares insights into different motorcycle disciplines, the importance of training, and the thrill of record-breaking attempts. Chris Northover shares insights on motorcycle testing, off-road training, new bike launches, and the evolving Chinese motorcycle market.
