The Continental GT is the singularly most anticipated machine to ever come out of India and land on New Zealand shores. Michael Esdaile draws the long straw…

2014’s 250cc two-stroke followup to the Freeride 350 signifies a welcome return to capable yet manageable trail machinery. Well played KTM... well played.

Hello...

Welcome to the April issue of Kiwi Rider. What a start to the racing year we’ve seen at the opening round of the World Superbike championship; this is the first time in 38 years MV Agusta has won a race at world level. Congratulations to Cluzel who enabled the Italian factory to make this welcome return to the top step of the podium.

Michael Esdaile charts the factory’s rise back to the top on page 17.

So far we’ve seen some great dirt machines in 2014 from the likes of Honda and Yamaha.

But don’t think the Europeans are slacking, Husqvarna’s new TE300 two-stroke enduro is proof the European factories are making some awesome machines and listening to

their customers. Read more about the Husky on page 106.Meanwhile KTM’s Freeride 250R two-stroke has been winning over tester Dene Humphrey with its blend of lightweight, agility and accessible performance.

Staying on the dirt theme, this month’s Number 8 Wire special is a very tasty C&Jframed Honda XR591 built here in New Zealand. Check it out on page 62.

On the Tarmac side of things, Royal Enfield’s eagerly-awaited Continental GT has reached these shores and Michael Esdaile has been seen blatting his way around town in a pudding-basin helmet sporting a Biggles-esque scarf…

We’d love to see what you’ve been up to – then and now – so please email or post any pictures to us you’d like to share on our Carless Days page to admin@kiwirider.co.nz address or the PO Box listed below.

Then call us-we have years of experience and good reviews from riders touring USA, Australia, Canada, Europe & UK. We can arrange freighting, all customs facilities, holding of crates and shipment of bikes and goods purchased on tour back to New Zealand.

We have offices & customs teams throughout USA, Australia, Europe and agencies in Canada and UK. Two years ago we had a family tragedy and had to get back to New Zealand immediately. We were in the back blocks of Colorado. One phone call to Mainfreight in LA and they just sorted everything out. They picked our bikes up from Colorado, sorted out all of the details and shipped the bikes home to us... Bridget Jakicevich Another successful trip to the States for my group and a large part played by yourself and Mainfreight. Looking back has been 8 years now, you have been involved... With out your help I know that it could otherwise be very stressful with much unnecessary time dealing with the minutia to the various agencies involved both in New Zealand and The US....
