ROAD FeAtuResLAUNCH REPORT : BMW K 1600 GT/GTL – 20BMW Motorrad Australia chose the sparsely populated northern New South Wales border ranges to launch its new six-cylinder K 1600 models. Good thing, says Big Dave.

TEST: KAWASAKI W800 – 29One of KR’s favourite motorcycles, Kawasaki’s W650, has just been upgraded. And Michael Esdaile reckons the new W800 is every bit as appealing as the bike it is based on.

TEST: TRIUMPH SPEED TRIPLE – 37A ground-up makeover has given Triumph’s iconic Speed Triple a new lease on life. Big Dave has the story.

FEATURE: BRASS MONKEY – 44Nash and friends always relish the ride to and from Oturehua in the Maniototo for the annual Brass Monkey motorcycle rally. This year was no exception.

ON TOUR: NORTH ISLAND – 52With a bike, a map and some accumulated annual leave to use up it’s amazing what you can turn up when you leave State Highway 1. KR office manager Linda Glasswell has the story.

DiRt FeAtuResPROJECT BIKE: HONDA CRF450R – 88The mission - to take a Honda CRF450, bolt on some performance parts and see what we get. Sounds easy, and it really is that easy. Rex Auty has the story

LAUNCH REPORT: 2012 KTMS – 90A new 350EXC-F is the latest addition to KTM’s off-road range. Ex-Ed JB is just back from Spain where he rode it and the other 2012 models

DIRT TEST: HONDA CRF450X– 97Honda’s CRF450X is the quiet contender in the 450F enduro class. Brenton May explains why.

DIRT COMP: CLUBS’ BATTLE – 103Similarities between the international Motocross of Nations and New Zealand’s fledgling Battle of the Clubs are obvious, giving the event a whole new dimension. Andy McGechan reports.

FRASER ISLAND ADVENTURE – 121Learning to ride a CT110 Honda ‘Postie Bike’ is easy right? Not, says Aussie-based Kiwi Peter Preston, if it’s your partner and she’s doing her learning on the soft, loose sand tracks of Queensland’s Fraser Island.

TRAIL RIDING: RUAPEHU 4-DAY – 126In which regular Trail Ride contributor Pesky relates more tall tales and true, this time from February’s four-day Yamaha Mount Ruapehu Trail Ride.

1 aGV Gp-tecH siMonceLLi LiMited edition $1299 Distributor: Nationwide Accessories

The Simoncelli AGV GP-Tech features the same graphics worn by Simoncelli during the 2009 250cc season – complete with the leopard skin signature. AGV’s GP-Tech lid is their top-of-the-line model with closeable vents at the front and a very comfortable in-terior liner that’s built to ECE compliant crash standards. Constructed from SSL (Super-Super-Light) Carbon-Kevlar, this is the very same helmet worn by Valentino Rossi. All new shell shape and aerodynamically tested venting system hollowed directly in the shell, this helmet longs to be at the track. Cool Max removable and washable interior with hygienic treatment. Double D retention system and a clear, flat, anti-scratch, anti-fog polycarbonate race visor with XQRS (Extra Quick Release System) and tear-off system. Sizes: SM/56-XL/62

2 foGcity anti-foG adHesiVe Lens $30 Distributor: Nationwide Acces-sories

The FogCity lens is treated polyester film with a perimeter adhesive on the reverse side with a patented anti-fog coating on the top surface to prevent formation of fog. The anti-fog treatment is a patented polymer coating which reduces fogging under normal temperature humidity conditions, even after repeated cleanings. The treatment is extremely hydrophilic which causes conden-sation to spread as a clear layer, rather than form droplets which appear as fog. Although it absorbs moisture, the coating does not dissolve in water, so it will not smudge when wet.

3 Muc-off anti-foG treatMent $34 Distributor: Forbes & Davies

If you ride in winter, chances are your visor is going to fog up. Keep it clear with Muc-Off Premium Anti-Fog Treatment. It’s formulated to give clear vision to visors, gog-gles, sunglasses, mirrors and windshields, even under the toughest of conditions. The advanced formula can be applied quickly and safely to leave a transparent micro-thin anti-fog coating. Muc-Off Anti-Fog Treatment comes in a handy 35ml bottle.

4 neo iMoLa 2 JacKet $270 Dis-tributor: Forbes & Davies

Practical, stylish, and affordable quality – pretty much sums up NEO’s new Imola 2 Jacket.

There’s also CE elbow and shoulder protectors, plus a back protector. Other nice touches include sleeve tension control, adjustable waist belt, air vent system, YKK zippers with dual storm

flaps, and loads of pockets for phones, wal-lets etc. Available in Black/Grey/White in a wide range of sizes to suit most any kiwi, from S right through to 7XL.

5 HJc r-pHa-10 HeLMet - Ben spies GrapHics $999 Distributor: Darbi Accessories

Ben Spies Monster replica graphic is now available. The reason for its popularity is its extreme lightness. The use of pre-impreg-nated fiberglass increased the strength but also lowered the weight. The fit of the helmet has been further improved with the use of advanced CAD design. With all the extra goodies in the helmet (Pinlock anti-fog lens insert, water repellent solution and applicator cloth, extra smoke-tinted visor - retail value $180) the helmet is ready to race. The interior is fully removable and washable and the advanced anti-bacterial fabric helps the interior to stay fresh for longer. For people who wear glasses there is a groove so you have less temple

pressure. Find out why Ben Spies has stuck with HJC by trying on one of these helmets at an HJC stockist near you.

3 sport-wasH $44-$95 Dold Industries

Sport-Wash is one of the Atsko Sno-Seal products and was initially developed to wash hi-tech membrane fabrics like Gor-tex. The real trick with Sport-Wash is that it leaves no residue and therefore doesn’t clog the membrane allowing the fabric to breathe as it should. Normal washing powders have phosphates in them and this is where the problem lies. Sport-Wash is safe for all washable fabrics and yet power-ful enough to remove all odours, stains of blood, grass soil etc., and, is very afford-able. If you buy a 2 litre bottle it works out at 74 cents per wash.

4 dunLop eLite 3 From $369 Dis-tributor: Forbes & Davies
