Magazine Description
In this issue
This month is all about fast nakeds including the eagerly awaited KTM 790 Duke. Katoomers have been anticipating the launch of the first ever parallel-twin from Austria with bated breath and finally, KTM India has answered their prayers. It’s a riot to ride owing to a relentless motor that never stops accelerating. But its USP is the surreal handling; it’s nothing like we’ve experienced so far, pushing the benchmark when it comes to agility. And mind you, the benchmark has been the mighty Triumph Street Triple RS so far, when it comes to middleclass roadsters. Also featured in the issue is the 2020 ‘Triple RS which has received Euro 5 trickery withoutputting on weight. It looks sinister thanks to the made-up eyebrowsborrowed from Tiger and goes like stink, as always. But that’s not all; we have also ridden the first ever hyper-naked on the planet! The MV AgustaBrutale 1000 Serie Oro won the award of the most beautiful motorcycle at EICMA last year, but that simply underplays its performance. With 208bhp on tap and a sub-200kg kerb weight, the Brutale is absolutely brutal! Phew. Want more?

John Surtees an Appreciation
The first time I saw John Surtees was at Montlhery where he had come to demonstrate his old 1959 World Championship winning MV Agusta 500 and 350 machines. This was sometime in the mid-1990s and while I couldn’t get to speak with him then, his smooth clean and effortless riding style on the bumpy banking and through the notorious infield made me marvel at his imperious style.
