So many people have been asking for a wallpaper of the Fireblade that never was (as seen in our 20-page ’20th Anniversary of the Fireblade’ pull-out in the current issue), that we thought we’d give you one, so to speak.

Entry to the competition is free and is by completion of the official ’Celebrate 50′ competition entry form only available at the dealership on the day. Prizes will be drawn on the following Friday. Top prize is a unique anniversary YZF-R1, resplendent with Akrapovic pipes and new paint job, lovingly crafted by top painters Altamura Concepts. Yamaha will also throw in two VIP hospitality passes to the British round of MotoGP, courtesy of the Yamaha Racing Team.

There are two further pairs of VIP hospitality tickets to give away, as well as loads of other great prizes – including 50 items from the new team gear collection and 25 pairs of general admission tickets to Silverstone for the MotoGP!

The Longest Day – 2010 Test Archive

BMW R 1200 GS Adventure vs Ducati Multistrada 1200 Sport vs Yamaha XT1200Z Super Ténéré

We didn’t just ride to the local roundabout and back, either. To test these bikes, and ourselves, to the limit, we rode all three from Land’s End to John O’Groats – and back again – without stopping for anything but fuel and grub. 1,703.5 miles in 30hrs 4mins.

We also used the test to see how Dunlop’s Roadsmart coped with three different bikes, and the longest laden head cycle they’re ever likely to be subjected to. And boy did they do well… Find out more about Dunlop Tyres.

BMW Release 30th Anniversary GS Range

Moby — Sun, 16 May 2010 10:47:58 +0000

30 years of life is always worth celebrating, so BMW is doing exactly that to commemorate the three decades of the GS’s existence. Using the Motorsports colours that the firm used for its Paris-Dakar bikes in the eighties, the new bikes are a breath of fresh air compared to the normal sober colouring of the big Beemers.

There are some additional goodies on the bikes, like a tinted screen, hand protectors and cross-spoke wheels, so if you want a good looking R 1200 GS, F 800 GS or F650 GS, then now’s the time. Head to a dealer on 19th June for a special demo day to try one of the range out, or visit the BMW Motorrad website.
