In this week’s MCN, out June 6, we have all the action from the first races of the 2012 Isle of Man TT.

John McGuinness gets ever closer to Joey’s record with his 19th TT win. We talk to the Honda TT Legends rider after his Superstock victory.

This week we have spy shots of several new BMW models.

Also this week we put the top adventure bikes through their paces on an off-road adventure with Dakar rider Stan Watt.

Plus we have all the news and gossip from the weekend’s MotoGP race at Catalunya.

Adventure bike armageddon
Four bikes. A Dakar hero. 100+ miles off-road. Just one question: can adventure bikes live up to their billing?

Big picture: TT 2012
Agony and ecstasy for our heroes as the world’s greatest motorcycle racing festival blasts into life on the Isle of Man.

Why there’s never been a better time to buy an MV
Early MV Agusta prices are now slipping under £5000. Are they a bargain or baloney?

The bike that condemned Harley to cruisers
In 1977 Harley unveiled the blacked-out XLCR where ‘CR’ stood for ‘Cafe Racer’, and it was one of the most striking, radical and financially disastrous Harleys ever produced.

Single-minded McGuinness takes Superbike win
The inexorable charge of the Honda TT Legends rider coupled with some canny pitwork gives him yet another TT victory.

Crutchlow in talks with Ducati
Crutchlow could partner Rossi in 2013 as he believes his aggresive riding style matches Stoner’s and so he’d suit the Ducati.
