TEST: KAWASAKI ZX-14R Kawasaki’s latest ZX-14R is like Arnold Schwarzenegger in a suit – slick and smooth on the surface but all rippling muscle underneath.

TEST: 12 ZX-14R vs ’97 ZZR1100 Kawasaki has been building sleek, fast sports-tourers for decades. Which is why when he was offered one of the new ZX-14Rs to ride we asked Racing Dave to find out if boutique bike rental specialist Nigel Howard had anything old and/or interesting he could compare it with…

TEST: BMW R 1200 R In its latest – and possibly finest – form, BMW’s R 1200 R seamlessly combines the best of the old with that of the new.

LAUNCH REPORT: BMW C600 SPORT/C650GT BMW joins the ranks of ‘big scooter’ manufacturers this year with two all-new models.

TEST: ZERO S

Plenty of companies have talked about building electric motorcycles. Zero is the only one to put one into production.

BURT MUNRO CHALLENGE Like the man himself, the annual Burt Munro Challenge seems to get better with age.

FIRST RIDE: HUSQVARNA TR 650 We managed to get our hands on one of Husqvarna’s new TR 650 Terra models just before Christmas. Here’s tester Rodney O’Connor’s first impressions.

Adventure: RUSSIA BY BIKE Last month young Kiwi adventurer Rob Gray outlined how he and four friends prepared for their epic cross-Russia ride. This month he chronicles the first leg of that journey.

Adventure: North Vietnam Last time we heard from Grant Purdie it was after he completed a ride in Borneo. This time he and his mates venture to North Vietnam.

Adventure: 20 years of Far North fun The Far North was one of New Zealand’s first organized Adventure Rides. And 20 years on it remains one of the best.

2012 Red Bull Romaniacs It’s a case of ‘like father, like son’ for Tokoroa’s Jesse Clarke, who last year became the youngest ever rider to complete the Red Bull Romaniacs extreme enduro!

TEST: Husqvarna’s TC449 MX Husqvarna’s TC449 MXer is different. But that, reckon testers BT and Sam, is not necessarily a bad thing.

TEST: Suzuki’s RMZ250 On-going refinement is making Suzuki’s RM-Z250 a better bike with every upgrade.

A snapshot of time and place

LIKE FASHION What it reflects though, is the ‘now’ of the game we are working/living in. And, don’t laugh, I’m not talking about websites or even Facebook, I’m talking about a magazine. Magazines are the ultimate ‘snapshot of time.’ Like fashion, they don’t have a particularly long shelf life (after all, there’s always another one coming along) but when you’re reading a current issue you know that you’ve got your finger on the pulse. Take this issue. Events-wise we’ve got coverage of both the Cemetery Circuit street racing meeting at Wanganui on Boxing Day and the Summercross motocross at Awakaponga in the Bay of Plenty from just before New Years. We’ve also got a ‘first ride’ impression of Husqvarna’s new TR650 Terra (the on/off-road version) and a full test report on the new Gas Gas XC300. As well as a whole host of other stories, tests and opinion pieces which anchor us to this particular time (the end of 2012 and beginning of 2013) and place (New Zealand).

The ability of the mag to do this is brought home each and every month by the Looking Back column which Roger Moroney collates.

Good news or bad, we’ve been providing monthly snapshots of the local and (where there’s a Kiwi involved) international motorcycle scene since 1984. Some things, technology in particular, have changed in absolutely quantum terms in that time. Others – like the plain, simple pleasure of digging the bike out of the shed and going for a ride – haven’t And it’s with that thought that I will leave you as I start thinking about what’s in the next issue as I put the finishing touches to this one…. ■
