ROAD FeAtuResTEST: BMW GS VS YAMAHA XTZ – 21 Having seen the two bikes thoroughly tested off the beaten track, KR Ed Ross MacKay decided it was time to put BMW’s R 1200 GS and Yamaha’s new XTZ 1200 Super Tenere up against each other where they will spend most of their time, on the road.

TEST: YAMAHA FZ8 – 28A late rejig last month saw the Yamaha FZ8 test postponed until this month. The FZ8 is a worthy addition to Yamaha’s naked range.

TOUR/TEST: HONDA GOLDWING – 32With a brand new Honda Goldwing to ride, and the best part of two weeks to check out the lower South Island, no wonder Big Dave and the Co-Pilot were reluctant to return home after last year’s Burt Munro Challenge…

TOUR: THE PHILIPPINES – 44With his fiancé Dolly as his guide, Kiwi Adventure Rider Peter ‘Pesky’ Kempthorne sees another side to one of Asia’s most populous nations.

FEATURE: QUASAR RALLY – 62In September last year Kiwi Dave Lochead attended the 10th Quasar Rally in Hastings in the UK. To explain why he made the trip we have to go back a few years.

ROAD COMP: INSIDE SWC – 67The Superbike World Championship will roar back into life with the opening round of the 2011 season at Australia’s Phillip Island circuit from February 25-27. Michael Esdaile has the story.

DiRt FeAtuResDIRT TEST: HONDA CRF450R – 89US and NATO troops might well be battling the GWOT but dirt riders around the globe are battling their own GWOD; Global War on Decibels. Honda’s twenty-eleven CRF450R is the latest weapon to be re-engineered to suit.

DIRT TEST: KTM 200EXC – 95KTM’s 200EXC exists in an appealing netherworld between its 125 and 250 cousins. Dirt Ed Ollie paid a visit and didn’t want to leave.

ADVENTURE: BMW GS RIDE – 115What better way to celebrate the 30th anniversary of BMW’s on/off-road GS model than with a ride from Cape Reinga to Bluff via some of New Zealand’s best highways and byways? Garry Williams has the story.

ADVENTURE: ST JAMES STATION – 121With the St James Station in north-west Canterbury now controlled by the Department of Conservation, KR’s man in Christchurch, Racing Dave, explores some tasty new options in the area for Adventure riders.

KIDS TEST: YAMAHA RAPTOR 125R – 124Heartened by the response to its race-styled Raptor YFM250R sport quad, Yamaha has come up with a 125cc version perfect for the keen KR Kid.

3 axO crOSSOver BOOT $349 Distributor: Northern Accessories

The Crossover off-road boot may be short in height but that’s all it’s short on. With inspiration from the successful Prime and Dart boots, the Crossover uses plastics that are thicker where more support is needed and thinner where weight can be saved. The moulded shin plate absorbs and re-distrib-utes impacts and the PU skins resist twist-ing and over-rotation. An overlapping pattern allows a greater amount of variance in calf and leg sizes. The buckles are replaceable and offer a solid, worry free closure with lots of adjustment. The lightweight synthetic upper resists wear and requires little or no break in. A toe box gives grip and support and a large suede heat guard repels heat and resists wear. A stain and odour resistant interior is finished off with a removable foot-bed insert for comfort. These boots start at size 4 and run up to size 8 in black.
