2005 MCN test fleet

MCN’s long term test bike fleet launched this week with an amazing selection of bikes lining up to be put through their paces this year.

There will be 19 bikes on test with everything from a Suzuki GSX-R1000 to a Honda Africa Twin and the bikes are already being put through their paces.

MCN editor Marc Potter took his Ducati Monster S4R on a track day, while road tester Adam Child went one better, tackling Cadwell’s famous mountain section on his BMW R1200RT tourer. Art editor Mark Tucker has already been to the Isle of Man and back on his BMW K1200S.
