RUST magazine: Rust#18

RUST magazine: Rust#18. This month Warren went on a well deserved jolly to the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan… He came back with a suitcase full of motorcycle parts! Who knows what happened to his clothes… New at the show? Well, the BMW R1200GS Rally looked the business! The Honda Africa Twin Enduro Sports just looked a bit scary! The Honda X-ADV pseudo off-road scooter just looked plain weird… There was a new CRF we did like, however, the CRF250L Rally, which looks set to become a light adventure favourite, with screen, LED lights, 10.1-litre tank, 21”/18” wheels and higher suspension. Other offerings in that category, BMW’s G310GS, Kawasaki’s Versys-X 300 and Suzuki’s V-Strom 250 probably less so… In the scrambler section we have a new BMW R nineT Urban GS, an homage to the R80GS of old in its white, red and blue livery… We also have the the gorgeous Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled, and a new version of the Triumph Street Scrambler… And Gas Gas are back with a new enduro model for 2017, the Phoenix, an EC/XC 250/300, with all-new chassis, significantly reworked motor and new Kayaba suspension. Other features include the inaugural running of the Athens-Gibraltar Race, which crosses 15 countries throughoutSouthern Europe. The Big Easy? Andy Dukes plans the longest journey of his life, around the globe on an F800GS. And finally… Octane Booster, a brief history of Acerbis from Bergamo, the enduro capital of Italy, meeting theirlegendary founder Franco Acerbis and previewing their latest product, the Ottano range of clothing…
