Chad samples the wild new Triumph Speed Triple 1200RR and then gets his boots dirty on the new Aprilia Tuareg 660. And Paul finds things happen really fast on Suzuki's latest Hayabusa.


Chad checks out the versatile Ducati Multistrada V2 and also gets adventurous on Aprilia's Tuareg 660. Matt Oxley looks at what it was like to be a MotoGP star 50 years ago, and we go ballistic on the newest Suzuki Hayabusa.

Aprilia's new RS660 has redefined the middleweight segment, but it's not just a one-trick pony. Chad checks out the race-ready Kramer GP2 at Brands Hatch, and Chris Smith heads to the woods on Kawasaki's updated KLR650 Adventure. We take a look at the beginning of BEARS racing in NZ, and go drag racing with Kawasaki

Chad takes a ride on the friendliest Aprilia V4 yet, while Paul heads off-road on Chris Birch's bunker KTM 1290 Super Adventure. We then slow the pace with a cruise on the latest Harley-Davidson Heritage Classic 107. Horst Saiger explains why he's hanging up his leathers, and we look at the crazy French and their annual Normandy Classic Motorcycle Beach Races. All this and more in NZ's leading motorcycle magazine

We check out why BMW's cruiser has an adults-only R18 certificate. Paul spends time bonding with Harley-Davidson's electric LiveWire, while Chad discovers that the new Ducati 950 SuperSport S is problem the red Italian machine most riders should own. And finally, we go adventuring on Benelli's incredible TRK502X.

All this and more in New Zealand's favourite motorcycle magazine.

Chad hits the streets and the track on Suzuki's updated GSX-S1000. We spend a busy day checking out the entire Yamaha MT range. And Paul gets his cool on, cruising on Harley-Davidson's Road King Special.
PLUS, we've got heaps of Kiwi event reports, with Dusty Butt, Brass Monkey and the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride all featured.

We get blown away on Kawasaki's arm-stretching supercharged Z H2. Chad hits the road and track on Yamaha's updated MT-09SP, and we check out the MAJOR update of Triumph's Speed Triple RS!

The BUSA is BACK! We take to a runway with the updated hyperbike to see if it's still got it.
We slow things down a bit while checking out the new Royal Enfield Meteor 350, and get adventurous on Triumph's best Tiger yet, the 900 Rally Pro.

Nakeds are taking over! We check out two of the newest additions to the burgeoning unpaired market, with the F900R and Benelli 752S put through their paces. We hit the gravel on KTM's remarkable 390 Adventure and dream about travelling over to Aussie for a go at the new Cairns to Darwin ride. Dave Britten does two TT2000s (crazy fool!) and we get the inside word on the hugely successful Pukekohe Classic Festival.

It's BRM's 200th Issue, so we've given it a completely Kiwi flavour. From riding a classic BMW K100 racer that made a name for itself thirty years ago to a replica of Flyin' Fred's VFR750F which took him to AMA glory, we also check out some major local events, rides and people. 

We ride the wildest MV Agusta F4 – the 212hp Claudio! Chad takes the anniversary BMW R1250GS for a spin and Paul checks out the road manners of the new Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro. With an updated firing order and all the electronic goodies, the British manufacturer has kept into the adventure tourer game with a winner.

We get stunned by Triumph's pimped up Thruxton RS. Chad goes exotic on MV's beautiful Superveloce and Paul adds a third wheel testing Yamaha's latest edition to their three-wheeled stable, the Tricity 300.

We ride the awesome new Aprilia RS660 and then swing a long leg over BMW's R 18 mega cruiser. And for something completely different, we take Harley-Davidson's electric LiveWire on the racetrack to see if there's a place for battery-power on a circuit.
All this and more in the December BRM

We've got the biggest Super-Naked Group Test in town, with the latest badass flat-bar machines put head-to-head on the road, the track AND the dyno. We go adventuring on Suzuki's new V-Strom 1050XT and commute on a little Yamaha YS125. Plus, we catch up with a cool trackday project Kawasaki ZX6R.

We ride the bonkers Ducati Superleggera V4S and discover 234hp has never been so useable. Then we hit the twisties on KTM's 890 Duke R which has seen an increase in capacity as well as an addition of nuttiness. Roland looks back at the 40 years since the iconic BMW GS was first unveiled, and we ride NZ's very own electric motorcycle. And if you are missing travelling, we look at the big four museums in Japan – Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki

We see if Ducati's 'wings' can keep the V4 Streetfighter down. Chad takes a spin on Triumph's Moto 2-inspired Daytona 765 while Paul goes 'performance' cruising on the new Indian Challenger.

We take a look at Triumph's updated Street Triple RS and ask if this is the best road bike they've made. We hit the twisties on the 'rider's Harley', the Low Rider S, and send our resident learner out on the sexy Kawasaki Ninja 650

We check out Zero's new sleeker battery-powered SR/S and see exactly how far you can go. Adam Child checks out the difference between a standard Yamaha YZF-R1 and a pukka BSB version – does buying a race bike make you faster? We revisit the Triumph Thruxton R and check out NZ's favourite long-distance endurance ride.

We check out the sportier Kawasaki Ninja 1000 SX, the mighty KTM Super Duke R and the latest middle-weight adventure contenders from Triumph, the Tiger 900 GT Pro & Rally Pro. We head to Sicily for the launch of the latest supersport tyre from the Metzeler, the M9RR and check out a couple of home-made bikes in Taupo which don't feature anything from a motorcycle.

We take a Royal Enfield GT650 to the track, hit the dirt on the Moto Guzzi V85 TT and go racing on BMW's prototype eRoadster

We check out the new Ducati V2 Superquadro, spend 5 days adventuring in the Aussie outback on Yamaha's Tenere 700 and Chad rides Keanu's new bike – the ARCH KRGT-1

We check out the new updated Africa Twin, hit the road on the roady version of the KTM 790 Adventure and attempt to tame Aprilia's monster Tuono 1100RR. We discover if the Kawasaki Z650 is the best learner bike on the market and try out the new adventure tyres from Bridgestone, the AX41.

We discover the latest modern classic from Triumph is also one of their best, with the Speed Twin 1200 evoking emotion you just don't get on modern machines. Pauls heads to Aussie on two very different adventures – the first heading bush on Royal Enfield's new ABS-equipped Himalayan, before heading to Sydney to sample Harley-Davidson's wicked Low Rider S. 

We have a full report from the Classic TT, Paul takes a spin on the most underrated naked on the market, the Aprilia Shiver 900 and then goes cruising on Harley's entry-level tourer, the Electra Glide Standard. We hit the gravel on the entertaining Triumph Scrambler XE and check out a fully-optioned Benelli TRK502X. 

We ride the electric Harley-Davidson Livewire at the international launch. We catch up with Chris Birch at the Hellas Rally, take a lap of the Isle of Man on Dean Harrison's Senior TT winning ZX10R and have some fun on a Triumph Speed Triple S

We check out the new Suzuki Katana and see if it lives up to the legendary name, ride a couple of Yamaha NZSBK bikes and go adventuring on KTM's incredible 790 Adventure R.
There's an interview with the new generation of Strouds, a recap of the Isle of Man TT and tips for getting the most from your suspension.

We discover if the new Tenere is really SUPER, go cruising on the Bagger BMW K 1600 B and go high-tech with the new Kawasaki Versos 1000 SE. There's a report from the Ducati Adventure Tour in Australia and the first test of the new W800 Cafe and Street from Kawasaki.

We head to Los Angeles for the launch of the stunning new Indian FTR1200, sample the torque-fest that is Husqvarna's Svartpilen 701 and go learner crazy for Kawasaki's naked Z400. We catch up with Bruce Anstey and discuss his recovery, hopes for the future and getting back to the TT, try out the new Continental Trail Attack III and venture off on the Hard Alpi Tour.

It's launch season so BRM's contributors have been busy testing new models. This month Roland Brown checks out the big bore Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory while Jeff Ware tackles Estoril on the completely new BMW S1000RR. Paul heads to Phillip Island on a pair of MV's finest – the Brutale and Dragster 800 RR – while Simon Hargreaves enjoys Moto Guzzi's new adventure machine, the V85 TT. We catch up with Peter Hickman about racing the new Norton twin, Dave Britten does 2500km in a weekend on the TT2000 and our classic bike is the Laverd 750 SF.

BRM checks out the most anticipated new adventure bike of 2019, the KTM 790 Adventure & Adventure R. We discover just how devastatingly quick the BMW S1000XR is on regular backroads and gain a bit of classic cool with the Moto Guzzi Eldorado. We catch up with the entrepreneur Scott Wilson with his new brand, Full Tank, and check out all the action from the Mike Peroxiding Motofest at Hampton Downs. Our classic expert compares the Honda CB500 & CB750 to work out who's the boy and who's the girl, while Swannie catches up with a couple of fellas who thought it was a bright idea to put a turbo on a Honda C90!
