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!

Meanwhile we’re working hard to make <strong>RUST</strong> as multi-coloured, multicultural<br />

as EnduroGP. You’ll find a mix of enduro and adventure content again<br />

this issue. We’re happy to have an update from our (not-quite) regular columnist<br />

David Knight on his year and his future plans. We’re happy to find Yamaha’s<br />

latest WR450F has far more potential than the European launch suggested.<br />

We’re also super-pleased that SWM has a third great machine in their RS650R,<br />

which is a lovely bit of mid-sized adventure kit. We asked adventure mate July<br />

Behl if the flood of social media content is devaluing the big adventure ride. And<br />

we wish we hadn’t asked our publisher Warren Malschinger to write-up his prep<br />

for the Welsh Two Day Enduro – we were looking for a nickname for him, now<br />

we have ‘War-ren Peace’!<br />

We hope you enjoy the read. We’re always keen to hear your feedback<br />
