IRON MOUNTAINEERS
One of the world’s wildest dirt bike events is the annual Erzberg Rodeo Red Bull Hare Scramble in Austria. If you want rocks, you’ve come to the right place.
700cc OF SEPARATION
How far have 350cc thumpers evolved in the past 29 years? We sat back and looked at our 1983 Honda XR350RD and 2012 KTM 350 EXC-F Project Bikes in a solid bench race session that delivered the answers.
125s ENDUROISED
Who said the 125cc two-stroke off-road bike was a dying breed? Not Dr Phil, who’s just taken his son Sean’s new YZ125 and set it up for off-road combat, just like he did himself with his own YZ125T back in 1985.
OODNADATTA TRACKIN’
When Triumph Australia went looking for a media launch ride venue for the new 1200 Explorer, the Oodnadatta Track in South Australia proved to be the ideal choice.
HARDCORE POSTIES COAST TO COAST
How long do you reckon it would take to ride a postie bike across Australia? Would you believe five-and-a-half days? This is hardcore madness.
YERRANDERIE EXPRESS
The southern highlands just outside Sydney offers a feast of adventure bike riding options, highlighted by the wilderness village of Yerranderie, deep in the mountains between Taralga and Oberon.
ADVENTURE BIKE: SUZUKI V-STROM ABS
The best value-for-money multi-cylinder adventure bike on the market might just be the Suzuki V-Strom 650.
PROJECT BIKE: YAMAHA WR450F
Just how crazy were Clubby and Wolfy in choosing to take on the APC Rally aboard a pair of EFI Yamaha WR450FBs? Hmmm, even they are beginning to wonder ... as the race continues to get the bikes ready in time.
PROJECT BIKE: HUSQVARNA TE449
The best of Italian and German dirt bike design just keeps on keeping on.
PROJECT BIKE: TRIUMPH TIGER 800 XC
What-ever the assignment, the Tiger 800 XC is ready and set for the challenge as Russ keeps up the TLC.
PROJECT BIKE: HONDA XR350RD
Another yarn on Clubby’s much-loved shiny red vinduro beast, just to inspire all you readers to drag your vinduro clunkers out of the shed and ride ’em!.
TECHNICAL: THE CUTTING EDGE
If there’s one thing Dr Phil really appreciates, it’s technical innovation in new dirt bike design. One brand that is constantly evolving with its new model bikes is KTM, with its latest 2013 machines at the cutting edge of the tech wars.
