ROAD FEATURESTEST: YAMAHA YZF-R1 – 21
It’s won kudos – not to mention the World Superbike Championship title – on the track, but is Yamaha’s radical new cross-plane crankshaft YZF-R1 still the Production Superbike category’s great all-rounder on the road?
TEST: TRIUMPH 675 DAYTONA – 26
Having missed out on a ride when Triumph’s 675 Daytona was fi rst upgraded last year KR Ed Ross MacKay moved heaven and earth to get on one of the fi rst of the ’10 examples to land here. Needless to say he wasn’t disappointed.
TEST: PIAGGIO MP3 250 – 33
Nothing grabs the attention of other road users like the Piaggio MP3. As KR tester Michael Esdaile found out when he swapped two wheels for three.
RIDDEN: APRILIA PEGASO – 37
The old adage that ‘you can’t judge a book by its cover’ is something you appreciate, more, as you get older and wiser. Tester Campbell Rousselle reckons Aprilia’s Pegaso Factory is a case in point.
FEATURE: VICTORY TOUR – 40
What started as a better way to get to and from the Burt Munro Challenge blossomed into one of the best rides Big Dave and The Co-Pilot have ever had.
FEATURE: LIGHTNING BOLT RALLY – 53
Racing Dave enjoyed the 11th Lightning Bolt Rally on the West Coast so much he returned with Racing Maree for the 12th late last year.
DIRT FEATURESRACE TEST: YAMAHA YZ450F – 102
You’ve seen the pictures and marvelled at the specs. But is Yamaha’s radical new YZ450F really that much better than a conventional big-bore 4-stroke? KR Dirt Ed entered Yamaha Motor NZ’s test bike (he asked fi rst!) in the BoP Club’s annual SummerX to fi nd out.
DIRT TEST: KTM 450EXC – 109
Rather than keep it to ourselves (read Ollie! Ed) we decided to spread the love with our latest Long Termer, a road-registered KTM 450EXC. Old skooler Bill Mancer and young pup Mitchell Nield were the fi rst two ‘friends of the magazine’ to get to ride it and give us their initial impressions.
ADVENTURE: YAMAHA SAFARI – 120
With hundreds of kilometres of fresh roads, tracks and trails, the Marlborough Sounds made this year’s Ya-maha Safari one of the best. Racing Dave has the story.
TRAIL RIDING: DESERT STORM – 143
Back in the day, Osborne’s mate Gus was a handy sort of Enduro rider…or at least he was until he defected to the treadlie world. Recently though, he’s been casting sideways glances at the various dirt bikes at Kastle KR and when he heard about Nick Reader’s latest Suzuki-backed Desert Storm Trail Ride….well, you can probably guess the rest.

5 TCX AURA WOMEN’S BOOTS Aladies foot is entirely different from a man’s in both shape and size; therefore it is vital that a woman chooses a boot made spe-
cifi cally for that fi t. The all-new TCX Aura Women’s boot offer all the style, comfort and performance you would ever want. Aura features: extra soft full grain leather uppers, waterproof lining, leather shift pad, thermo contoured shin plate, reinforced heel and toe counter.

1 IPERSPORT SILENCERS Giannelli of Italy has designed an all new silencer range called the Ipersport. With its revo-lutionary asymmetrical diamond shape the Ipersport is an excellent symbiosis between aesthetics and performance. During development and prototyping, at-tention was given to weight reduction, the quality of the materials and the durability of the product. Ipersport is fully handmade using titanium, carbon and aluminium, with stainless steel models also available. The unique end-cap features an extractable dB-killer, so the silencer can be used on the street or at the track. Shown here fi tted to a Kawasaki 250 Ninja. Aluminium slip-on street legal EU ch.9 with mid pipe $799. Titanium slip-on street legal EU ch.9 with mid pipe (carbon fi bre endcap) RRP $1199. Available from all Piaggio/Vespa dealers.
2 GIANNELLI IPERSCOOTER SILENCER Michael Beckhaus passes me the keys to the Vespa 250GTS and drops a wry wink. ‘See how yah go with this one’ he says and walks me to the black beauty standing by the rear door at Triumph NZ HQ. The fi rst turn of the key and stab of the starter button brings to life a more vibrant exhaust note than you usually get from a standard Vespa. The level of sound is not loud by any means, however is much more purposeful. As performance enhancements go the Gian-nelli silencer looks slick and refi ned, adding to the overall look of the scooter. Although the midrange throttle feels to have gained from the addition, the fuel injection system is very effi cient so any improvement in power or economy is a plus. The quality of engineering, with the best materials avail-able, ensure the life of the Giannelli system will match the life of the scooter Giannelli Iperscooter for Vespa GTS 250 and 300 Super $699. Available from all Piaggio/Vespa dealers.

When Leatt Brace fi rst established their dominance in the neck protection market around the world, and in particular New Zealand, I jumped right in and purchased my own neck protection system. You can never predict with 100% accuracy what’s going to happen when you are racing off-road so wearing every piece of limb protection available is super impor-tant to me. More to the point on a recent photo shoot mission I narrowly avoided monumental damage to my neck by wearing my Leatt brace.
The mechanics of the crash were simple; whilst scrubbing a jump the bike hooked up and shot out from underneath my legs leaving me to fl ap in the air like a baby Thrush on its maiden fl ight.
When I descended back to earth my head smashed directly into the backside of a braking bump with the full force of my body behind it and a good 40 km/h of air-speed. The force cracked the helmet and compressed it onto my Leatt brace which compressed the Leatt over my shoulders.
The carbon support structure within my Leatt Moto GPX Sport snapped under the force of the impact, doing a magnifi -cent job of saving my neck (literally! Ed).
Long story, short, the brace did its job and in light of my story, Paris Your-oukelis, the managing director of Leatt Corporation New Zealand, replaced the snapped carbon parts of my Leatt Moto GPX Sport and even threw in a new pad and sticker kit.
Leatt really do have an outstanding product. Being completely customisable it can be rebuilt, painted and made to fi t anyone for any motorcycling application. Even more attractive is the stunningly new pad and decal kits which are about to land on New Zealand shores.
I have always vowed to never race with-out one, now after a close shave it’s a no brainer and should be for you also. For more information head over to www.leatt.co.nz.

2 MOTORBIKE WIDOW T-SHIRTS
Monica Birch, wife of international extreme enduro rider Chris Birch, has created a range of ‘Motorbike Widow’ t shirts! She says ‘I often take the piss out of Chris at races to keep him motivated (as well as keeping myself entertained!).

Visit www.birchy.co.nz for more information. $50 each.

Been on the hunt for some top per-forming off-road socks lately? Found that every pair you buy seems to disintegrate around the heel or they’re just not long enough to ward off knee brace chafe?
Well Norma from StormMasters re-cently sent up a pair of Merino Padded and Merino Light extra-long thigh-high socks to wrap around my skinny white legs and they don’t disappoint. Made from a very durable blend of 80% Me-rino wool/20% Nylon yarn to keep you warm in winter and cool in summer, the also have Elastane woven through spe-cifi c areas of the sock to keep it fi rmly on the leg and provide added support.
The Merino Padded sock differs from the Merino Light as it has cushioned foot, arch and ankle support, and is pad-ded up the back of the leg. It’s perfect for boots that need that extra bit of cushioning or if your legs needed some padding behind the braces.
The Merino Light sock is a lightweight variant featuring the same cut and length without the added padding. It’s the perfect partner for closer fi tting boots that don’t require extra padding.
Both are super comfortable and are pre-washed and pre-shrunk so there is zero chance of shrinkage after the fi rst ride. Performance-wise the Merino wool blend does an absolute magic job
of wicking away sweat from the skin whilst protecting it from chafe.
The extra long length is also very handy to fold back over your knee braces or guards. During extreme enduro or motocross racing I couldn’t fault the performance of the socks and they didn’t show any sign of fraying in the ankle area.
Head over to www.stormmasters.co.nz for more information. Sizing is colour coded 2-5 (blue) 6-9 (red) 10-12 (grey) 13+ (green) with an online special of two pairs for $65 (padded) or $50 (light) with free delivery in NZ.

Sick and tired of searing my fi ngers, lacerating my palms and ripping fi nger nails off I had pretty much given up on trying to re-sharpen worn out off-road tyres.
However a glimmer of hope came in the form of this amazing tool called a Knobby Knife. Made in Tennessee USA this ingenious little device im-mediately changed my life. With my KLX450 waiting on its stand in the garage, alongside half a dozen old tyres I plugged my new Knobby Knife tool in, waited about seven minutes for it to heat up, then made my fi rst cut.
It took a few minutes to master my technique, but having gauged how hard to push, and when to curl at the end of your cut, everything fell into place and my fi rst tire was done in 25 minutes.
As I chewed out the tyres my knife cutting skills technique sharpened into a 20 knobby slaughter-fest and by the end of the pile I managed a blistering 15 minutes. It sure does beat heating up hacksaws, or Stanley knifes and is a hell-of-a-lot safer.
The Knobby Knife is built tough with a heavy wooden handle covered in a
dense gauge foam grip for insulation. The heating element is seriously large and the knife cuts through rubber like butter with minimal pressure with the blade itself made from hardened steel.
I have sharpened my favourite off-road practice knobbies three times now allowing more time out riding the trails. If you don’t have one of these tools, and you get annoyed with how quickly a new tyre looses its edge rendering it useless for racing but perfect for prac-tice then get yourself a Knobby Knife.
Available to all Kiwi Rider magazine readers for a special price of $129.95. Contact Customlight Engineering 0-3-341 7175 or www.customlight.co.nz for ordering and more info.
