The most powerful and priciest of bikes in this test, it's no surprise it ended up at the pointy end...

- WORDS: BIG MAC

BMW M1000R

With the Ducati absent, the BMW claimed the bragging rights of being the most powerful bike on the test at 207bhp - Ducati claims 214bhp for the Streetfighter.

However, as we well know, pub ammo/big headline numbers don't always translate to something that's actually any fun or even any good. So, while the BMW may well sit at the top of the tree when it comes to big numbers, it's in good company when it comes to getting the basics right.

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.

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.
