This is a huge issue of Rapid Bikes, being our yearbook edition, with our eight-way Big Bore Nakedbike Shootout! We’ve put the BMW S 1000 R, KTM Super Duke R, Aprilia Tuono V4 R APRC, Triumph Speed Triple R, EBR 1190SX, Ducati Monster 1200 S, Kawasaki Z1000 and BMW K 1300 R to the test to see which bike comes out top dog in the fun stakes. Plus the launch of Yamaha's awesome new learner weapon - the MT-07.

In custom bikes there's an amazing Honda CBX Cafe Racer with styling to kill for, a stunningly modified Kawasaki ZX-10R with enough titanium for a WSBK machine, as well as a wicked turbo’d Triumph Thunderbird.

This issue Tech Tips looks at HEL Performance's new brake pads, with Workshop continuing the brake overhaul feature, with master-cylinders, lines and pads the focus! Plus we've got a feature on EICMA 2014, where many of 2015's new motorcycles were revealed. And of course all the regulars such as our Long Term Ducati 899, a Project Hayabusa (The Short Bus) with Mick Withers, ET for your drag racing fix and all the regular columns with Ned Shaw, Mark Stenberg and Dave Manning.

In the Knee Down track section you’ll find columns by Steve Brouggy, Andrew Pitt, Bryan Staring and Emma Bailey of EJB Exercise Physiology.
