Rider Magazine April 2017 Back Issue

English
116 Reviews   •  English   •   Sport (Motorsport)
Only $1.49
The April 2017 issue of Rider is chock-full of twin-cylinder adventure, from lengthy tour tests of KTM’s gentle beast, the 1290 Super Duke GT, and Honda’s mellow automatic NC700X DCT, to flogging a Ural Gear-Up sidecar on the famous LA-Barstow-Vegas run. One of our erstwhile contributors demonstrates how easy it is to buy a used bike in another state, fly there and have the trip of a lifetime riding it home, and another takes on a tour of Arizona’s Will West, complete with gunfights at the OK Corral. Along the way we go overseas and just around the corner to test ride Triumph’s stunning new Bonneville Bobber and BMW’s little-big G 310 R single, and send our Managing Editor back to riding school with CLASS in California. In Gearlab there are tests of tires, boots, rainsuits and jackets, the focus is on motorcycle soft luggage and stale green lights in Tips, Tricks & Answers, and who can forget the Kawasaki KZ750 Spectre featured in Retrospective? Of course, first you’ll have to put up with the usual babble and bluster from our talented and knowledgable columnists, but it will be worth the effort, promise. Get your issue today!
