Head to MotorcycleNews.com for full details of the stories mentioned and remember to like and subscribe so you don't miss future instalments. This week we've been riding the eagerly awaited Aprilia RS660 at its launch in Italy. The new bike sits somewhere between a traditional head-banging supersport and a softer road-going bike like a Honda CBR650R. With 99bhp on tap and a smorgasbord of technology, could it be our favourite middleweight sports bike? Read our full review to find out. This week has been brimming with new bike news, not least of which has been the full engine spec of Ducati's upcoming Multistrada V4. Ducati have moved away from desmodromic valves to get an impressive 37,000 miles between valve surfaces, but still giving the bike 168bhp to play with. We're looking forward to seeing the full bike next month. Sticking with new bike news, BMW have unveiled the 2021 R 1250 RT. The new version is now fully Euro 5 compliant, but it's also packed with the latest technology including radar guided cruise control as an option. All the new gadgetry is controlled through a whopping 10.25 inch TFT screen too. Not to be left out, Kawasaki have upped the tech offering of their Versys 1000 for 2021. The top spec version now gets Skyhook automatically adjusting electronic suspension from shower. The bikes lower down in the range are all getting upgrades too. Head to our page to find out what else is changing and see the new paint jobs too. And finally, this week's issue of MCN includes the 2020 awards where we celebrate what we consider to be the best bikes of the year. We've put a handy little video together outlining the winners, so pick up a copy of the paper to find out exactly why we chose what we did for each category.
