RUST magazine: Rust#14
Is SWM’s RS650R the ultimate lightweight adventure bike? Can Yamaha’s WR450F really be a woods weapon? Can Warren possibly fit one more accessory to his long termers? These pressing questions, and more, will all be answered in RUST 14 It’s a big issue, is 14, with all that plus columns from one David Knight MBE (at last!) and from our adventure riding buddy July Behl (that’s July as in the month, not Julie – he’s a bloke, okay?). Plus: a little product testing, ‘Gallery’ (our favourite two images of the fortnight) and we celebrate the end of a surprising year in the enduro world championship. Enjoy your riding – and reading!

WHO ARE YOU?<br />
Dylan makes a fair point. Increasingly much of our riding is non-competitive.<br />
Just as in amateur motocross, we’re seeing more and more riders side-stepping<br />
competition and enjoying ‘practice days’ without the pressures of checks or<br />
special tests. Ride when you want, stop when you want. Chill with your buddies.<br />
You can’t knock that!<br />
“We’re not all chasing championships, most are simply looking to enjoy a good<br />
day out, having fun with their mates, while enjoying a responsive bike. So the<br />
WR’s high-end capability isn’t the amateur rider’s first priority. The good news is<br />
that through the plug-in Yamaha Power Tuner there is so much adjustability in<br />
the WR’s engine characteristics.<br />
“Likewise the suspension is very high quality, but on stock settings seems setup<br />
for the expert rider. In stock form the WR is fast with a firm ride. So essentially<br />
we were looking to back everything off.”
