We ride the bonkers Ducati Superleggera V4S and discover 234hp has never been so useable. Then we hit the twisties on KTM's 890 Duke R which has seen an increase in capacity as well as an addition of nuttiness. Roland looks back at the 40 years since the iconic BMW GS was first unveiled, and we ride NZ's very own electric motorcycle. And if you are missing travelling, we look at the big four museums in Japan – Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki

Chad samples the wild new Triumph Speed Triple 1200RR and then gets his boots dirty on the new Aprilia Tuareg 660. And Paul finds things happen really fast on Suzuki's latest Hayabusa.


Chad checks out the versatile Ducati Multistrada V2 and also gets adventurous on Aprilia's Tuareg 660. Matt Oxley looks at what it was like to be a MotoGP star 50 years ago, and we go ballistic on the newest Suzuki Hayabusa.

Aprilia's new RS660 has redefined the middleweight segment, but it's not just a one-trick pony. Chad checks out the race-ready Kramer GP2 at Brands Hatch, and Chris Smith heads to the woods on Kawasaki's updated KLR650 Adventure. We take a look at the beginning of BEARS racing in NZ, and go drag racing with Kawasaki

We then slow the pace with a cruise on the latest Harley-Davidson Heritage Classic 107.

All this and more in NZ's leading motorcycle magazine

We check out why BMW's cruiser has an adults-only R18 certificate. Paul spends time bonding with Harley-Davidson's electric LiveWire, while Chad discovers that the new Ducati 950 SuperSport S is problem the red Italian machine most riders should own.

Dave Britten does two TT2000s (crazy fool!) and we get the inside word on the hugely successful Pukekohe Classic Festival.

It's BRM's 200th Issue, so we've given it a completely Kiwi flavour. From riding a classic BMW K100 racer that made a name for itself thirty years ago to a replica of Flyin' Fred's VFR750F which took him to AMA glory, we also check out some major local events, rides and people. 

We ride the wildest MV Agusta F4 – the 212hp Claudio! Chad takes the anniversary BMW R1250GS for a spin and Paul checks out the road manners of the new Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro. With an updated firing order and all the electronic goodies, the British manufacturer has kept into the adventure tourer game with a winner.

We get stunned by Triumph's pimped up Thruxton RS. Chad goes exotic on MV's beautiful Superveloce and Paul adds a third wheel testing Yamaha's latest edition to their three-wheeled stable, the Tricity 300.

We ride the awesome new Aprilia RS660 and then swing a long leg over BMW's R 18 mega cruiser. And for something completely different, we take Harley-Davidson's electric LiveWire on the racetrack to see if there's a place for battery-power on a circuit.
All this and more in the December BRM

We've got the biggest Super-Naked Group Test in town, with the latest badass flat-bar machines put head-to-head on the road, the track AND the dyno. We go adventuring on Suzuki's new V-Strom 1050XT and commute on a little Yamaha YS125. Plus, we catch up with a cool trackday project Kawasaki ZX6R.

Pauls heads to Aussie on two very different adventures – the first heading bush on Royal Enfield's new ABS-equipped Himalayan, before heading to Sydney to sample Harley-Davidson's wicked Low Rider S. 

We have a full report from the Classic TT, Paul takes a spin on the most underrated naked on the market, the Aprilia Shiver 900 and then goes cruising on Harley's entry-level tourer, the Electra Glide Standard.
