FIRST RIDE: Ktm 1290 Super Duke R
KTM has been brazenly advertising their 1290 Super Duke R as a bit of a beast. As we found out… it is.

Husky’s FC250 is a bike which will suit hard riders. A good thrashing just has it coming back for more. We gave it to three completely different expert riders to get a feel for the new two-fiddy Husky.

No.8 Wire is a celebration of all things special and Suzuki’s shrieking square four needs little introduction as something a little bit special. However, this particular bike was originally raced by the most successful premier-class Grands Prix engineer of the last few decades, Jeremy Burgess.

2014 South Island Enduro Rd 1. NZ develops world-first solution to improve ATV use. Polaris makes off-road history. Birch unbeaten so far. 2014: A great year for Gas Gas enduro.
Welcome to the May issue of Kiwi Rider. This month sees us finally get our hands on the completely revamped 2014 Suzuki DL1000 V-Strom. This has to be one of the most anticipated new bikes in the adventure-touring class for some years. We got to try the bike on road and gravel down in the Bay of Plenty. It’s been worth the wait. See page 38 for more. Another highly anticipated machine is KTM’s 1290R Super Duke. The pre-launch hype said it was pretty bonkers. We’ve ridden it – and it is. Turn to page 32 for our first ride. For those who like biking with an adventurous bent, we sent Jock off on the Yamaha Northern Safari and ‘Pesky’ tells us all about the Ruapehu Adventure Ride from its beginning to the present day. Want to go even further afield? Jollyexperienced off-roaders John Nick and Pesky show us what they take in their packs when
Who is
heading off into the boonies. On the motocross front, the 2013/14 championships are wrapped up and the new champions crowned. We’d like to doff our caps to this year’s winners and congratulate Cody Cooper (MX1 Champion), Kayne Lamont in (MX2 Champion) and Josiah Natzke (125 Champion) on their amazing rides this year. Special note must go to Natzke who made history by becoming the youngest ever national senior champion. And then there’s Lamont, who underwent surgery to remove his appendix only the day before wrapping up the title. All I can say is ‘double-hard bastard’. See page 90 for the full round up. On the enduro front, Auckland’s Chris Birch has been showing a clean pair of heels to all-comers and extended his lead at the Riverhead Forest round. But anything can happen, so we’ll be watching the remaining three rounds with interest. We’ve got so much in this issue, I’ve not even mentioned the ZX-14R, Gas Gas Randonne and Husky FC250 – you’ll have to go find out about them for yourself. Enjoy the mag. Ben Wilkins, Editor

MICHELIN PILOT ROAD 4 The new Michelin Pilot Road 4 is available in three versions; standard, GT and Trail. Michelin claims (and independent tests prove) that thanks to new XST+ sipes, the Pilot Road 4 tyre stops 17% faster than its closest competitor on wet roads, and 24% faster on a wet slippery surface such as a pedestrian crossing or painted lines.

The new tyres feature 2CT, dual compound technology with 100% silica compounds for the optimum balance between wet grip and longevity. The harder centre compounds are designed to help promote a long tyre life while the softer shoulder compounds provide extra grip when cornering. All-new silica-charged rubber compounds were developed for the Michelin Pilot Road 4 tyres and are specially formulated to provide excellent grip on a wide range of road surfaces, including painted lines and pedestrian crossings, making it easier for you to ride in virtually all conditions.
