Rider Magazine  |  October 2016
The October 2016 issue of Rider magazine is an adventure tour de force, with full tests of popular ADV machines both big and small. Our cover story pits the Honda VFR1200X, Triumph Tiger Explorer XRt and Yamaha Super Tenere against one another in a multi-day, on- and off-road camping trek that reveals all of their strengths and weaknesses. On the other side of the scale, we find out if the low-priced CSC RX3 Adventure 250 single is enough bike for a true adventure. October touring stories include a straight shot through the middle of the U.S. heartland from Canada to Mexico on U.S. Highway 281, a lovely lap of the Hawaiian island of Oahu on a pair of beautiful Triumph Bonnevilles and a Favorite Ride along the defunct Miami-Erie Canal in Ohio. We also take a look at the newly opened MotoTalbott motorcycle collection in Carmel Valley, California, the 2016 Quail Motorcycle Gathering in the same area and look back at the Kawasaki Avenger in Retrospective. You’ll also find loads of useful gear tests and the usual questionable words of wisdom from our monthly columnists. Enjoy the issue!
