Print and digital editions feature a first ride report on the BMW S 1000 R and Kawasaki Z1000 ABS, in addition to a ride report on Tom Sykes’ championship-winning Kawasaki ZX-10R superbike (http://www.sportrider.com/news/146_1401_april_2014_issue_on_sale_now/)The April 2014 issue of Sport Rider is now on sale and features first ride reports on the latest naked bike offerings from BMW, Kawasaki, and MV Agusta. Race-related features include a behind-the-scenes look at the 2013 World Superbike Champion, Tom Sykes, and a ride report on the bike that earned Kawasaki its first World Superbike title in 20 years; “Don’t be surprised if Kawasaki, KRT, and Sykes stand atop the World Superbike Championship yet again next year. Their ZX-10R is that good,” concludes Associate Editor Bradley Adams following his unforgettable day aboard the bike at the Circuito de Jerez.

Kawasaki’s World Superbike slugger was a hard act to follow, but BMW’s S 1000 R and Kawasaki’s Z1000 ABS were more than up to the task, with Bradley and Kento reporting that those bikes provide the serious punch we’ve long wanted from a naked bike. Read about that duo and the MV Agusta Rivale 800 in our editors’ respective reports.

Elsewhere in this issue you’ll find an update on Scorpion’s new EXO-R2000 helmet, Avon’s Storm 3D X-M sport touring tire, and NUVIZ’s Ride:HUD, a heads-up display that’ll mount to the user’s helmet and put pertinent information in front of the rider, “at a distance the eyes are already focused to,” Adams says. Sedici’s Hotwired jacket and pant liners are reviewed, and Kento goes for a ride on Ducati’s class-mingling Hyperstrada.
