In this week’s issue of MCN, on sale November 18, we have a six page test of the 2010 BMW S1000RR.

We tell you everything you could ever want to know about BMW’s new superbike, including how the traction control and ABS works.

The new Kawasaki Z1000 is ridden by Michael Neeves in Spain and he discovers the 1000cc naked is all about midrange power.      

Moto Guzzi stunned the industry at the Milan Show by revealing three new prototypes based on its iconic V-twin motor. Pierre Terblanche, co-designer of the bikes, gave MCN the lowdown on the stunning machines.
