New MCN April 6: Rossi and Stoner reaction

1 of 8

In this week’s issue of MCN, on sale April 6, we have all the reaction from the crazy Jerez MotoGP weekend, including Rossi and Stoner’s thoughts on that crash.

We test the new Honda Crossrunner and KTM 125 Duke. We also test the new BMW K1600GT against its rivals.

Also in this week’s MCN, are 1000cc sports bikes irrelevant?

What you’ll find in the April 6 issue of Motorcycle News:

 

Honda Crossrunner first ride
MCN’s first ride of the new Honda Crossrunner proves it’s a great bike – but also that Honda, and indeed all the Japanese manufacturers, are at something of a crossroads.

 

 

 
KTM 125 Duke world first ride
The all-new KTM 125 Duke is not only very good, but it could also be the most influential bike of 2011.

 

Are 1000cc sports bikes still relevant?
The new Suzuki GSX-R750 and Ducati 848 Evo have all the cubes you’ll ever need on the road or track, so do we still need 1000cc sports bikes?

 

 

 

BMW K1600GT takes on rivals
We pit the new BMW K1600GT against the Kawasaki GTR1400, Honda VFR1200FA and Yamaha FJR1300.

 

 

Fuel price-beating 125 buys
Whether you’re looking for your first bike, a cheap commuter or a low-maintenance runaround, you’ll find plenty of 125cc bikes for sale on www.mcnbikesforsale.com

 

 

 

So close for Simoncelli
Marco Simoncelli, Ben Spies, and Colin Edwards were left pondering what might have been after blowing victory and podium hopes with a combination of mistakes and cruel luck in a nail-biting Jerez MotoGP race.

 

 

Stoner doubts Rossi’s talents
Stoner tells Rossi his ambition outweighs his talent after the Italian ended Stoner’s race attempting an overtake.
