In this weeks edition? Might buy it..
MCN is written by a computer programme using the thousand monkeys with typewriters principle. Allow me to save you 3-quid:
Kneedown wheelie stoppie BMW quality. Tiger British fantastic. Kneedown kneedown kneedown. Nice little bike for the wife. Kneedown stoppie kneedown. Almost as good as the GSXR kneedown stoppie.

Is that version available on the iPad?
Yes, it came top as far as I'm concerned, they often mark bikes down with phrases like: 'it's a really comfortable all day bike, even 2up, and it'll do it using the least amount of fuel possible while still being fun to ride and cheap to buy and insure' yeah? Where's the downside there then? Oh, it's not got a whole spectrum of power over and above what you can ever hope to need or use on the road and it doesn't cost £14,000, so how are you going to show you've got loads of disposable income down at the local bike meet?
£14,000 for a bike you can only use £7,000 of, or £7,000 for a bike you can use all of? Your choice, I've made mine..
To be fair to MCN they did mention, more than once, that big adventure bikes seem a bit pointless when considered in the company of the 4 bikes on test..
And Child is a nice bloke, sat with him on the ferry to the IOM in March, when you get him out of 'kneedown wheelie stoppie' mode he's an interesting bloke.. It was hard to get him talking about other stuff though considering we were both on the ferry to ride the course, him on the first press Panigale in the country.. Fun weekend in all..
