Superbike Magazine  |  January 2012
First Ride: 2012 Yamaha YZF-R1 When Yamaha launched the new 2012 R1 at a sunny Valencia circuit, we were on it when they handed out the keys. The headline news was about the addition of adjustable traction control. And? And does it work? What else is new on the 2012 R1?
First Ride: 2012 BMW S1000RR
A week after the R1 we were back at Valencia for the launch of the 2012 BMW S1000RR. Same power, but chassis and electronic tweaks. Will the improved BMW still the others how a litre sportsbike should be made?
First launches: What? There’s more? Yes, we were more than happy to jump on the new 2012 Kawasaki ER6N and the new new, new, completely new (apart from the BMW engine) Husqvarna Nuda and, er, assess them like the professionals we are.
Feature: The Fast Picture show. We’ve all got footage of ourselves and our mates ‘larking’ about (or just riding) our bikes. Here’s how to make a video of them. With tips from the director of ‘Fastest,’ the new MotoGP film.
Feature: Ducati 998, 999 and 1098. You want one of these bikes? Do you want to know all you could possibly wish to know about Ducati’s superbikes? Here’s the lowdown. We spoke to owners, dealers and fixers for the skinny.
Long Term Test Bikes: 2011 Yamaha YZF-R1, 2011 Kawasaki ZX-10R, 2011 BMW S1000RR our long term test bikes abused and rated. The BMW seems to have lost some power, the R1 still sounds like a beast with its Yoshimura cans and a sabotaged horn and the ZX-10R? It’s still green and likes Michelin tyres.
And there’s more, much more.
