SUZUKI'S CN CHALLENGE SUZUKA 8 HOURS ENDURANCE RACER
Suzuki has pulled out of most of its circuit racing efforts in recent years, which is a genuine tragedy and means we don't see the brand often in this section, so it's a pleasure to welcome it back with this, the Team CN Challenge GSX-R1000R.

KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R
The KTM is one of those bikes that you really do need to try at least once in your lifetime, but with the caveat that you absolutely must give it a chance and some time to make sense.

ANDY LONGTERMER KAWASAKI NINJA 1100SX SE
I had a handful of rides in mind and tasks to complete over the last month before this write-up, but as happens from time to time, the combination of a higher workload and spending what time is available with family must take priority.

APRILIA TUONO V4 FACTORY
Like a grownup, sophisticated KTM SuperDuke R\" is what I wrote in my trusty notebook after my first road ride on the Aprilia, and I think that pretty much is all you need to know about it. Except, I've got a couple of pages to fill with my findings on the Aprilia, so I really should expand on my short but deadly accurate summary.

SUPERSPORT SENSATION FOR A SNIP, ANYONE?
Missing the Suzuki GSX-R750? Aren't we all. It really was an amazing thing to ride on track or on the road, with the agility of a 600 plus a heap more grunt. We mourn its passing every day.

ENFIELD FLYING GOAT
It's not often that you find yourself drooling at the chassis tech on an electric motorbike. But that's just what we were doing at the ABR Festival last month when we clapped eyes on this piece of work. It's the Royal Enfield Flying Goat – a prototype EV bike, hand-built by the firm's R&D engineers at Bruntingthorpe, and is festooned with sweet chassis kit, wrapped around a powertrain borrowed from the Stark Varg MX racer.
