RUST magazine: Rust#17
RUST magazine: Rust#17 Yep, Team USA won, but RUST digs deeper into the real stories that made ISDE 2016… Instant salvation? Can Rick Kemp atone for a lifetime of misdemeanours by trail riding the Pilgrims’ Way in just one day? Is the true adventure bike a single-cylinder lightweight super-enduro? CCM think so, but can the GP450 really cut the mustard? From France to Chile, we travel the globe to find out! Write less, said the editor (me!). That’s really not happening; at 128 pages our latest issue tops our last again. It’s all for your benefit though, and besides, look where dumbing-down gets us – Brexit and Clinton-Trump! Let’s engage our brains, our imagination – and our inspiration for that matter. This issue we’re even embracing medieval history, you don’t get that in many moto-publications. Anyway, this is also our first birthday – one year, 24 issues. It’s quite a pace, we’re not exactly flat out, or WFO as you might say, but pushing-on certainly. And with each issue our audience is expanding (read the editorial for more on that) so if you’re a new subscriber, welcome! Anyway, gotta run, there’s a plane to catch and a big adventure ride waiting. Should be epic… Enjoy your riding, too – and reading! Best Jon Bentman (Editor, RUST)

in praise<br />
of the<br />
CCM GP450<br />
off-road, tackling extreme heat, cold and<br />
altitude – all with no problems. Many people<br />
think that 450cc is too small but the bike will<br />
cruise at 70-75mph all day if you want<br />
(though the fuel consumption goes up at<br />
these speeds) with no more vibration than<br />
any single-cylinder KTM. It was light, easy to<br />
pick up on my own (in the middle of nowhere<br />
in the dark and wet when exhausted).<br />
“It has been reliable and I recently spent a<br />
day with the TRF on a 80-mile off-road trial<br />
in the usual wet and rutted routes around<br />
Salisbury Plains and the bike kept up well<br />
with the KTM 450s and 300s even with semi<br />
off-road tyres. Everyone who had a go on it<br />
was well impressed. I think this is a bike<br />
worth looking at as a true global lightweight<br />
adventure bike.”
