On The Front Cover: Chris Ulrich on a 2016 Yamaha YZF-R1 leads Ken Hill on a Kawasaki  ZX-10R at UMC. Last year the Yamaha YZF-R1 outscored the 2014 defending champion BMW S1000RR in our Open-class sportbike comparison test. In this issue we run the 2015 defending champion Yamaha against the newest 1000cc-class sportbike contender, the Kawasaki ZX-10R. It turned out to be a very close-run fight.
