Superbike Magazine  |  September 2011
Main Test: Bike of the Year Aprilia RSV-4 APRC vs Ducati 1198SP vs BMW S1000RR. Our bike of the year test took place at Dunlop’s test track in the South of France and saw the German BMW taking on the might of Italy.
First Ride: FTR Moto2 bike. The ultimate trackday bike or an overpriced Honda CBR600RR powered special? Kenny went to Silverstone to ride a Moto2 bike for the masses, well those who have £75,000 to spare anyway.
Race Feature: BMW S1000RR World Superbike ride. Kenny heads to the Monza circuit in Italy to ride BMW Motorrad’s world superbike and European superstock race bikes.
Feature: Aprilia RSV Mille. All you could ever want to know about the Italian sports bike for those who don’t want a Ducati.
Long Term Test Bikes: 2011 BMW S1000RR, Yamaha YZF-R1 and Kawasaki ZX-10R, 1998 Honda CBR900RR our long-term test bikes abused and rated. New gearing for the BMW and the Fireblade, although for very different reasons and the R1 gets Yoshimura exhausts.
Plus: Free onboard footage of a 128mph lap of the Isle of Man.
