ROAD TEST: MOTO GUZZI STELVIO – 20 From humble beginnings the Adventure sector has blossomed into one of motorcycling’s biggest and most buoyant – hence the time, effort and attention to detail Moto Guzzi has lavished on its new ‘all-roads’ model, the Stelvio.

ROAD NEWS AND BRIEFS ........... 9

ROAD TEST: HONDA FURY – 27 Custom-style cruisers don’t come any cleaner than Honda’s all-new Fury. But how does such a single-minded style statement handle the humdrum of everyday riding? Very well says Big Dave.

ANDY LYVER ................................ 57 The search for the perfect bike

ROAD TEST: TRIUMPH TIGER – 31 Triumph’s Tiger started out as an Adventure bike. Now it’s more a sports sort of Tourer. Big Dave has the story. RIDDEN: TRIUMPH R – III TOURER – 35 Triumph found a ready market for its larger-than-life Rocket III. And there are good deals to be had right now on the Tourer model as Big Dave found when he collected Triumph NZ’s blinged up demo bike. BOULEVARD RALLY – 38 You’re buying more than a big, powerful motorcycle when you plunk your money down for a Suzuki Boulevard. As Big Dave and the Co-Pilot found out when they joined riders and pillions from around the country on this year’s Boulevard Rally in the Hawke’s Bay. BSA RALLY – 47 Marque aﬁcionados from around the world gathered in Christchurch in February for the 47th annual International BSA Rally. Robert Cochrane has the story.

DIRT FEATURES DIRT TEST: SUZUKI RM-Z250 – 96 Forget the fact that the company’s ﬁrst joint attempt with Kawasaki wasn’t something it probably wants to remember. Since going its own way Suzuki’s RM-Z250 has got better with every passing year. KR Dirt Ed Ollie S. uses the latest, now fuel-injected, 2010 model to explain why. DIRT TEST: HUSABERG FE570 – 102 Guest tester Rodney O’Connor knows a bit about Husaberg’s FE570. Which was why we asked the former Triumph and KTM test rider to pen this backgrounder/ test for us. ON TOUR: AUSTRALIA – 109 When friends told Taranaki couple Jeff and Cheryl Burt about a 16-day guided tour from one side of Australia to the other it was really just a matter of time before they were boarding the aeroplane IHATOVE TRIAL – 116 You could call New Zealand’s inaugural Ihatove Trial the best of both worlds – a successful event format and some of the world’s best terrain. Racing Dave tells us all about it. ADVENTURE: KTM BIG SKY – 130 Event organiser Robbie Crickett promised a great, bigbike friendly 2010 KTM Big Southern Sky Adventure Ride and he was true to his word. Racing Dave has the story.

In 1955, a racer call Cal Niday crashed against a wall during the Indianapolis 500. The impact fractured his skull, but his Bell helmet saved his life. Over the years the name Bell became synonymous with motorcycle helmets. In those days, you didn’t have a helmet, you had a Bell. Many Grand Prix and motorcross heros have worn a Bell during their career: Kenny Roberts, Eddie Lawson, Wayne Rainer, John Kocinski, Joel Robert, Jeremy McGrath, and many more. The spirit of invention born in the garage behind Roy Richter’s old Bell Auto Parts Store is still alive and kicking today. 1 Bell M1 Composite Multifibres Shell Helmets Produced for an optimal quality/price ratio. The shell is made with composite fibre which, along with safety, enhance its qualities of comfort, visibility, easiness of use and durability. 5 Star Rated, Composite Multifibres 2 Shells, No Fog Visor, Removable washable interior, Double D-Ring System, Sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL.

MICHELIN POWER PURE track day grip…however that usually means the rear tyre squares off within two or three thousand kilometres. That’s where the Power Pures are supposed to come in. That and better all round dynamics. PROOF IN THE PUDDING Which I found out about almost immediately. When Sean rang me back (see what I mean about looking after his suppliers?) I told him that the biggest single difference between the Power Pure-shod R1 and the standard OEM-shod one was in the front end with a quantifiably easier and lighter (less resistance) roll from upright onto the side of the tyre. WORDS: Ross MacKay PIC: Geoff Osborne Michelin importer Northern Accessories really looks after the companies it represents – you only had to be me picking up the phone last month to realise that. “We’ve got an R1 set-up with Michelin’s new Power Pure tyres for you to ride,” company main man Sean Walsh said in his typical matter-of-fact manner. “Would you like us to drop it off for you? ‘Would I what?’ I said as I struggled to work out how – seeing as how BT currently has the KR Transit van on long-term loan – I was going to get out to the company’s Otahuhu office/warehouse and back in the middle of magazine deadline week. And as it transpired that a Power Pureequipped YZF-R1 arrived at the office that very afternoon. Perfect really, because I’ve been using Yamaha Motor NZ’s OEM Dunlop-shod R1 as my daily transport since the end of January.

“Have you read the technical bulletin I e-mailed you? Sean asked. “Ah…..yeah, well I’ve had a quick look at it,” I lied. “So when you’re talking about the way the front end feels lighter that will be because the tyres are lighter and even a weight saving of something like a kilogram can result in 10% less inertia,” he continued. “Yeah, I really should read the stuff they give me, “I thought as I pondered the fact that I had deﬁnitely noticed a difference. As, I’m sure you will. So, if you’re after a hi-tech tyre for your sportsbike but you still do more riding on the road than the track, can I suggest you check out Michelin’s new Power Pure. KR

According to Michelin, the key to the new Power Pure range (currently available in 120/60 and 120/70-17 front and 160/60 to 190/55-17 rear sizes) is that they are the lightest of the new dual-compound sports(bike) tyres on the market being just under a kilogram lighter (2 lbs) than similar tyres from other manufacturers.

I also said that the tyres had a nice, compliant feel to them.

DUAL-COMPOUND

While they’re not a production race or track day tyre the Power Pures are, according to Michelin, perfect for a road-going Superbike or Supersport, one which might get the occasional strop on the track but which gets most of its exercise on the road.

BEL-RAY TECH TALK The Changing Lubrication Environment

Bel-Ray Thumper 4-Stroke Racing Motor Oil

“Thumper” Engines make vastly different demands of lubrication Having only two rings on the piston means a large amount of fuel blows past the rings and down into the engine oil. This fuel “blow-by” dilutes the engine oil, lowering its viscosity and quickly robbing it of its protective power. Furthermore, this blow-by contains fuel combustion products that can lead to deposit and varnish formation as well as corrosion. At Bel-Ray, these issues alone signaled the need for an oil designed speciﬁcally for these engines, but there were even more elements to consider.

Bel-Ray’s chemists set out to create the best oil both to address the unique challenges of Thumper engines and to outperform the competition. The result was Bel-Ray Thumper 4-Stroke Racing Motor Oil, a blend of synthetic and mineral based oils, in two multi-grade viscosities:

Motorcycle manufacturers recommend a 10W-40 viscosity oil and frequent oil changes for Thumper engines, but there are situations like a Six Days or a Hare Scramble (long endurance races) where a 20W-50 maintains a safe viscosity range for a longer duration. During operation, the original viscosity of the oil changes due to fuel dilution from “blow-by”. Also, Thumper engines run hot, and oil thins at higher temperatures. The combined effects of the heat and fuel dilution compound the viscosity decrease, so starting with a higher viscosity is added insurance that a high enough viscosity will be maintained to protect the engine. Understanding viscosity Viscosity is the measurement of the ﬂuidity of an oil. In a multi-grade oil the ﬁrst number is the viscosity grade for cold starts and the second number is the viscosity grade for the operating temperature. The higher the number, the thicker the oil.
