Superbike Magazine November 2011 Back Issue

English
7 Reviews   •  English   •   Aviation & Transport (Motorcycles)
Main Test: 2011 Honda Crossrunner vs 2011 Suzuki V-Strom 650 vs Yamaha VXR jet ski. Honda claim that the VFR800-based Crossrunner was inspired by high powered personal watercraft (jet skis to you and I), so we did the decent thing and tested it against one. It lost. We also tested the new Suzuki V-Strom 650 as an on-road competitor to the Honda.

First UK Ride: KTM RC8R. The KTM RC8R was given a bit of a hiding on road and track by Mr John Hogan. Was he crushed? Was it crushed? Should it be crushed in a car crusher?

Feature: Traction Control They might be banning traction-control in the 2012 British Superbike Championship (they are, you know) but it’s on the BMW S1000RR, the Kawasaki ZX-10R, Ducati 1198SP and Aprilia RSV4 APRC. Which works best? We tested them all.

Feature: 20 years of the Fireblade Yes, the Honda FireBlade is 20 years old. We first clapped eyes on it in 1991. We first rode it in 1992. Here’s the story behind a genuine biking icon..

Long Term Test BIkes: 2011 Yamaha YZF-R1, 2003 Yamaha R1 race bike, Kawasaki ZX-10R, 2011 BMW S1000RR our long term test bikes abused and rated. Both old and new R1’s take to the track, the ZX-10R did the Royal Engineers club track day at Snetterton and then ran out of fuel while Kenny tested the Dunlop GP Racer D211 tyres in rain, sunshine and on track aboard the S1000RR.
