Road news................................11 Bikes, blues & cars comes to Taranaki; Bike Week at Bannockburn; Yamaha Racing Development’s new kit-set racer and Aucklander Walter Rands-Trevor is the latest Kiwi motorcyclist to fall under the spell of the Bonneville Salt Flats.

Here he talks us through his first Speedweek experience this year.

KAWASAKI NINJA 300 – 24 Kawasaki’s newest Ninja is a sporty 300cc all-rounder which will appeal to LAMS-limited newbies and experienced riders alike.

H-D STREET GLIDE – 31 Like the idea of an Electra-Glide but not – quite – ready for a full dress tourer? Harley-Davidson could have created the Street Glide just for you.

SYM WOLF – 37 Taiwanese company Sym’s new Wolf 250 could well be the best small capacity sports commuter bike you’ve never heard of.

LAMS-LEGAL BIG SCOOTERS – 41 Last month we featured a selection of LAMS-legal motorcycles. This month we focus on big scooters.

Enduro: WIN ON SUNDAY – 83 Once again, lightly modified production bikes dominated this year’s Kiwi Rider-supported, Yamaha NZ-backed Enduro Championship.

Yoshimura CRF450 dual system Distributor: Northern Accessories

Introducing the all-new, RS-9D. The dual-muffler configuration on the redesigned 2013 CRF450R gave Yoshimura the opportunity to create an entirely new muffler, specifically built for the CRF450R. Beginning with the head-pipe, a 3-stage tapered design results in better power, better throttle response, and usable power delivery. It is also spring mounted for increased durability.

The header flows seamlessly into a re-configured tail-pipe, where the exhausts gases are separated to each muffler.

Yoshimura’s vertical divider splits the exhaust gases more evenly, for smoother flow, which improves mid-top power and throttle response.

Divided exhausts gases then reach our new, dual RS-9 mufflers, hence RS-9D. RS-9’s parallelogram-shaped muffler body increases muffler volume over the stock system, resulting in better throttle response and improved noise cancellation. The dual setup enabled us to position the mufflers closer to the bike’s centre of gravity (mass centralisation) resulting in better handling for

the rider. An additional benefit of the mass centralisation process was decreasing potential for muffler damage in the event of crash.

RS-9D not only makes more power and torque possible, but does it more

quietly than single systems. The uniquely sculpted carbon Fibre end-caps feature a Tunable Insert System, able to fine-tune power delivery and decibel levels to rider specifications. Full system $1695rrp. Dual slip ons $1389 set rrp.

SEriES 2012/13

For the 22nd consecutive year MR Motorcycles Ltd is proud to release their Charity Trail Ride Calendar.

The series which raises money for community projects in the Franklin and North Waikato areas will again help the communities raise funds.

The series which raised over $100,000 for the communities each year and caters to over 3500 riders is one of the biggest trail ride series in the country.

It is well known for its easy layouts which suits a wide variety of skill levels and with a laid back family atmosphere, it is well known among the riders of the Auckland and Waikato regions.

This season’s series will run with the same format as last season with four rides being open loop with loops approximately 30-40km of rolling farmland and plantation forestry.

There is a family loop for children, Mums and Dads that want to ride with their children but don’t want to tackle the main loop and a Pee Wee loop for first time riders and mini bikes.

The Waikaretu beach run with its unique sea views, sand dunes and remote beach sections. This is our only “follow the leader” ride which has an 80-90km single loop with a fuel/lunch stop in the middle of the ride.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED Helmets are compulsory. Boots (no sneakers), sensible clothing. A well prepared motorcycle, spare fuel, a good tyre and a good attitude.

COST Adults: $30. Under 16 $20. Family consession (2 adults & up to 3 kids living at the same address) $70.

KIDS LOOPS - Approx 1 to 1.5 kms long.

For young children and novice riders who are not confident on the main loop.
