In the June / July issue of Bike Rider Magazine, Chad heads to the launch of Yamaha’s new Supersport contender, the YZF-R9. Powered by the excellent CP3 triple we’ve grown to love in the MT-09, the sporty machine features the most aerodynamic profile of any Yamaha before it, while offering a set-up that works well on the road and the track. We test Honda’s clever E-Clutch system on the sporty-looking LAMS CBR650R and sample another triple in the form of the sharp CFMOTO 675 SR-R. Finally, we enjoy some time with Triumph’s updated sporty retro, the Speed Twin 1200.

Alan Cathcart recounts his time riding a fully restored example of Barry Sheene’s actual RG500, which the man himself confirmed was the real deal. And he also looks at the machine that started the online special phenomenon, the Ducati MH900e.

George Lockyer gets to meet his hero, the motorcycle adventurer Ted Simon, while Duncan Coutts gives us the inside scoop of what it’s like to be a Kiwi visiting a Euro round of MotoGP – and it’s hilarious!

All this and more in the June / July issue of Bike Rider Magazine.
