i k e s & a t v s BRP ADDS A TOURING MODEL TO ITS CAN-AM SPYDER ROADSTER LINE-UP BRP introduces the new Can-Am Spyder RT roadster in response to specific consumer demand for a touring platform. The 2010 Can-Am Spyder Roadster lineup now includes the Spyder RS (Roadster Sport) and RT (Roadster Touring) models. The introduction of a touring model coincides with a substantial gain in market presence on the heels of strong consumer demand since the roadster’s launch 2 years ago. Driven by a passionate owner community, the innovative three-wheel concept has become a global phenomenon in more than 50 countries to-date. “The Can-Am Spyder RS is already a resounding market success, although, clearly, its full growth potential is only beginning to materialise,” said Australian and New Zealand Can-Am Spyder Product Manager Rohan Slater. ”We are delivering the expansion of our Can-Am Spyder roadster line-up as promised at its launch in 2007 and believe the announcement of the Spyder RT will further accelerate the momentum experienced thus far.” The Can-Am Spyder RT roadster powered by a Rotax 991 engine with Electronic Throttle Control optimized for touring stays true to the brand’s promise to deliver a perfect balance of performance and peace of mind. The roadster features the same acclaimed BOSCH-engineered Vehicle Stability System (VSS) as found in the Spyder RS roadster, which includes Antilock Brakes, Traction Control and Stability Control systems. The VSS, coupled with the inherent stability of the roadster’s ‘Y-architecture’ and overall ease of use reinvents riding for enthusiasts of all skill levels. BRP is also introducing an industry-first optional RT622 trailer package, designed specifically for the Spyder RT roadster, which is compatible with the vehicle’s stability system and provides an additional 622 litres of storage. “The introduction of the Can-Am Spyder RT now provides options for sport and touring enthusiasts alike,” said Chris Dawson, Vice-President and General Manager, BRP International Division. “BRP’s superior design and innovation continues to deliver paradigm-shifting vehicles that push the envelope and the RT model is no exception. The new platform goes brilliantly with what touring riders demand and there is no doubt in my mind the Can-Am Spyder RT is going to forever change the touring motorcycle category.” MV Agusta launches new Brutale 990R and 1090RR After years of success and with over 15,000 bikes sold worldwide, MV Agusta has launched the all-new Brutale 990R and 1090RR on the prestigious Misano circuit in Italy. “We are writing a new chapter in the glorious history – rich in tradition and victories of MV Agusta. A new chapter of renewed excitement, commitment and investment in the Brand and its future” commented Enrico d’Onofrio, Managing Director of MV Agusta. The new Brutale keeps the essential lines of the model that over the years has touched the heart of fans, while boosting and enriching the technological content almost all of the technical and aesthetic components have been completely renewed. The Brutale pushes the limits of research and technology with its 2010 models - the 990R and the 1090RR. With its state-of-theart components, the 2010 Brutale delivers acclaimed performance and ease of riding, in keeping with the “Made in MV” formula, a commitment to excellence in components, in the design of which MV Agusta is at the forefront. The “easy” handling enables the Brutale to compete with the Japanese naked bikes, it is agile and instinctive in the hands of the rider. It excels on the racetrack, and its eclectic elegance and charm thrill even the casual admirer. To achieve these results, it was necessary to replace 85% of the components, but the new Brutale has preserved the significant style features of previous versions. The work carried out on the 990R and 1090RR cannot be defined as mere restyling rather, it is a silent MV Agusta revolution.

i k e s & a t v s 2010 Suzuki GSX-R1000 Arrives! Hot on the heels of its scintillating form in the Australian Superbike Championship, Suzuki’s legendary GSX-R1000 is available in three new colour schemes following the arrival of the 2010 model. With dramatic new graphics, the 2010 GSX-R1000 is available in Suzuki’s traditional Blue / White livery, or Black or Blue / Black colour schemes. After victories on debut in American and British Superbikes, the newest generation of Suzuki’s flagship model added to its impressive pedigree, winning on debut in the Australian Superbike Championship at Eastern Creek in July. Team Joe Rocket Suzuki ace Josh Waters backed up the win with podium finishes in the following two events at Mallala and Phillip Island, with the GSX-R1000 also setting a new lap record at each circuit. An unsurpassed package, the Suzuki GSX-R1000 is powered by a 999cc, four-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC engine, featuring the Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel-injection system and a class-leading power-to-weight ratio. The GSX-R1000 is packed with race-bred technology, including MotoGP-inspired mufflers, a back-torque-limiting clutch and Suzuki’s original Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS).

New liveries highlight the GSX-R1000’s stunning looks, with the aerodynamic bodywork the result of extensive wind tunnel development.
