ROAD FeAtuResNEW MODELS – 22Talk about a feast after a famine! For three years new models were few and far between. Now the floodgates have opened. To celebrate KR brings you a tantalising look at what the (very near) future holds.

KIWI RIDER BIKE OF THE YEAR 2010 – 27Whoosh! Another year in the life of Kiwi Rider and Kiwi motorcycling flies past and the time has come once again to announce our picks for Bike of The Year.

DREAM ROAD BIKE BuYERS guIDE – 41Under $30,000, under $20,000 or under $10,000. Can’t decide? We’re here to help.

ROAD TEST: BRuTALE V SHIVER – 33It’s amazing how similar yet at the same time so different MV-Agusta’s latest Brutale 990 and Aprilia’s Shiver GT are. KR Editor Ross MacKay has the story.

RIDDEN: VESPA gTS 300 – 39Big Dave on a scooter? Stranger things have happened. As this Ridden on Vespa’s GTS300 Supersport proves.

ON TOuR: THAILAND – 47Dental work doesn’t HAVE to cost a fortune…as keen Auck-land biker Mike Binis found out when he joined the growing number of Kiwis heading to Thailand for dental work.

DiRt FeAtuResLAuNCH REPORT: CLuB BRP 2010 – 86Club BRP is Canadian company Bombardier Recreational Products’ annual sales/media shindig. This year the venue for the local (Asia-Pacific) version was our very own Queenstown. Ollie S has the story.

DIRT TEST: KTM 300 EXC – 90It’s the bush bike of choice for thousands of hard-core off-road riders worldwide but after riding the latest ’11 version Dirt Ed Ollie S. reckons KTM’s much-lauded 300 EXC is a very different bike to those that have come before.

RIDDEN: ’11 gAS gAS EC300 ...... 97Last month Dirt Ed Ollie S. was impressed by Spanish marque Gas Gas’s 2010 EC 300. This month it’s ex-Ed Jonathan Bentman singing the praises of the ‘11 model.

DIRT FEATuRE: MONgOLIA – 101Bay of Plenty rider Ian Bowden found joining one of Britton Motorcycle Adventures’ Mongolian tours everything he had hoped for – and more!

COMPETITION: AuCKLAND SX – 108It was a heady mix of disaster and delight at the fourth round of the Monster Energy Australasian Super X Cham-pionships in November. Andy McGechan has the story.

ADVENTuRE: THE COROMANDEL – 119Road riders love the Coromandel Peninsula. But with more gravel than tar it is also a great place for a little dual-sport adventure.

KIDS MX BIKE TEST – 129While KR kids features in the past focused on junior/young adult trail machines, there was one category left wanting a little attention. Enter junior motocross.
