Phillip Island MotoGP Not your normal MotoGP holiday to Aussie… this was Kiwi Rider style.

29

Road test MT-03 Fun, easy to ride and strikingly odd, the MT-03 is definitely one of a kind...

34

Test Moto Guzzi Stelvio NTX Moto Guzzi’s player in the highly competitive adventure market has been updated and ‘adventurised’ in the form of the Stelvio NTX. Rodney O’Connor and Jock McLauchlan put it through its paces.

41

test Triumph T100 The T100 was a fire-breathing race bike of the 60s, but Triumph’s latest version is an altogether far more distinguished gentleman.

47

Test Harley Davidson Street Bob Self-confessed Harley Davidson virgin Rodney O’Connor takes his first ride on a motorcycle from Milwaukee and comes back more than a little impressed.

53

test YAMAHA YZF-R15 The second coming of the LAMSapproved Yamaha YZF-R150 sees a raft of changes which will appeal to both learners and more experienced riders alike.

57

test Ducati Supermono Of any single-cylinder motorcycle made available to the public, the Ducati Supermono was perhaps the most focused of all. Only 67 were built and offered an exquisite over-the-counter factory racer to the few the company’s racing department deemed deserving enough. KR’s Rodney O’Connor is reunited with the bike on which he won the 1999 NZ Street Series.

63

COMPETITION Mini-Moto The 2013 NZ Secondary Schools Mini-Moto competition was held amidst one of the worst rain storms of the year, but the stars of tomorrow’s motorcycling world shone through.

February 2014

67

TECH electric starter Most new trail and enduro models have electric start, while the dear old kick-starter is still king in the motocross world. But for how long…?

69

No. 8 wire Katana special This Kat is subtle. There’s no lurid paintjob or pointless stickers, as is often the case with a tricked up Katana special. In fact, this is probably the best modified Katana we’ve seen.

81

Adventure Back to the Burt A three day pilgrimage to the home of Burt Munro - twenty riders and 800km of the South Island’s best adventure trails. For David Darcy it doesn’t get much better than this.

100

Chris Birch Trail Training Birchy took the challenge of helping a lapsed adventure rider, Jacqui Madelin, with some remedial trail training.

103

test HONDA CRF250R Honda’s totally revised 250cc Red Rocket is ready to ignite the action in 2014. Jock McLauchlan, Ben Townley and Chris Birch put it through its paces.

108

test Yamaha Raptor 700 Yamaha’s Raptor 700R has a big hitting engine and nimble handling which can make converts out of most self-confessed 450 lovers.

112

Kids test Suzuki RM85 Suzuki’s RM85 ‘big wheel’ offers the perfect first step into the world of razor-sharp motocross bikes and two-stroke power for the taller preteenager.

118

DIRT competition RIVERHEAD 100 Nov 17, 2013 saw the third running of the Riverhead 100 Extreme Enduro race. Conditions for the event were so good that WMCC stalwart, Tjebbe Bruin was spotted greasing an uphill log as it was considered too ‘easy’. 70 of New Zealand’s extreme riders faced the starting line with trepidation… 3½ hours later Jason Davis (KTM 300) emerged victorious.

Dave Wyatt’s bike and bodywork are finally reunited.

Welcome to the February issue of Kiwi Rider. We’ve got a ram-packed mag this month. From the lithe Yamaha YZF-R15, which brings razor sharp sports handling and styling to the commuter and learner market, to the Moto Guzzi Stelvio NTX adventure heavyweight, which gives a capable alternative to the likes of the BMW GS Adventure, and everything inbetween there’s something for almost every taste.

Rodney O’Connor took a trip down to Manfield for the Mini-Moto and came away sure he’d spent the day with some of the next generation of Munros and Brittens. The innovation and enthusiasm he found in the school kids more than impressed our Technical Editor (who has worked at both Triumph and KTM as a design engineer).

Hearty stuff.

At the back of the mag we’ve got Carless Days.

There’s room for a little nostalgia in Kiwi Rider and here you’ll find some photos of the staff from when their hair was a little longer (some even had hair...) or were a little slimmer. These were the days before we owned cars and did everything on two wheels (not to mention the brief one day a week car ban in 1979 to which motorcycles were exempt). Send in your pics (by email or good oldfashioned mail) along with the story behind the picture and we’ll try to fit them all into the mag.

And for those of you looking for somewhere to head on the bike for a drink or bite to eat, we’ve collated a selection of Gastrom Rider’s cafe reviews into Biking Bites at the back of the mag too.

Whatever you get up to (we’d love to hear from you), have a great month of motorcycling and enjoy the weather.

Ben Wilkins, Editor.

Hot products / Road Macna Essential Jacket The Macna Essential Jacket is a stylish city and touring jacket made from soft touch fabric to make this a very comfortable snug fitting jacket. For protection there’s CE armour in the shoulders and elbows which are the highest impact areas. Night time visibility is enhanced with reflectors on the front and rear of the shoulders. A waterproof and thermo liner keeps you warm and dry and there’s a weather flap behind the front zip to help keep water out. There is waist adjustment to reduce wind flap and storage is taken care of with one internal and three external pockets.

Colour: Black Size: S to 3XL Price: $199 Distributor: Darbi Accessories

Macna Basalt Pants Matching the Essential Jacket, the Basalt pants feature a soft touch outer material and smooth internal lining and come with a fixed waterproof and thermo liner to keep you warm and dry.

It has pockets for CE protectors in the knees and hips. The waist is expandable to fit most body shapes and there is a long zip at the bottom of the leg with a smaller internal waterproof elasticated gusset to stop the pants riding up.

Colour: Black Size: S to 3XL Price: $149.50 Distributor: Darbi Accessories

AGV Numo Evo Helmet The AGV Numo Evo modular helmet is designed for both city and touring use. The Italian produced Numo Evo offers the aesthetics and safety of a full-face helmet along with the practicality of an open-face helmet for when it gets hot or you’re riding around town. The lining is breathable Dry-Comfort Lycra which has a sanitising treatment to keep it whiff free for longer and the padding is removable for washing.

A non-scratch, anti-fog visor should keep your vision clear. The micro-adjust fastening system means you should get exactly the right fit tension.

Colours: Metal Black, White Gloss, Silver Gloss Sizes: XS/54–XXL/64 Price: $599 Distributor: Nationwide Accessories

HJC IS-33 Helmet The IS-33 is an urban-orientated polycarbonate composite helmet with a one touch integrated smoke-tinted sun visor, which gives glare and sun protection on demand. The visor can be set in three positions and comes with an easy to replace clear visor.

The jeans feature 100% Kevlar panels at key locations, which are triple stitched into the sides, as well as shock absorbing CE-Approved knee protectors. Large aperture pockets are motorcycling cut for easy access to your gear. The 1% Elastane Lycra gives a stretch fit for comfort.

Michelin Pilot Power 3 Replacing the popular Pilot Power 2CT, the Pilot Power 3 is aimed at Hypersport and Supersport bikes over 600cc, which ride on the road as well as the track (the riding mix is 85% road / 15% track). Using new generation 2CT (two compound technology) front and rear, Michelin says the new Power 3 behaves and handles just like the Pilot Power 2CT and tests have shown they were on the right track with dry lap times quicker than Dunlop’s Sportsmart and wet lap times two seconds a lap quicker than their own Power Pure. Michelin also says the braking distance on wet roads is significantly shorter than the Power Pure.

Distributor: Northern Accessories

Metzeler Sportec M5 Interact With summer on the way, the M5 Interacts could be just the thing to keep you smiling on the road. Metzeler’s ‘Interact™ Multi Zone Tension Technology’ is another mouthful but it means there are five defined zones across the contour of the tyre with different steel belt winding tension. Metzeler says this unique technology optimises the tyre’s footprint and achieves higher levels of grip, stability and feedback in all conditions. High levels of silica in the compound ensure quick warm up and good wet weather performance.

The Sportec M5 also has a new ‘five lean indicator markings’ on the tyre’s shoulder, which gives you visual confirmation of the maximum level of the tyre’s usage (built in chicken strip checkers?).

See your nearest Metzeler stockist for full details on size range and pricing.

Oakley O-Frame Goggles Razor’s Edge Graphic When you’re waiting at the gate and the adrenalin is pumping, you probably won’t be thinking about the scratch-resistant Lexan® lens that gives you a wide-open view of the track. Or the triple-layer face foam that wicks away your sweat.

Or the competition ready design that includes a non-slip silicone treated strap and a mounting interface for Oakley laminated tear-offs (sold separately). But there is one thing you should keep in mind: The winningest rider in history has worn the MX O Frame® in every title chase.
