Now that's the way to do a bike test!

Our buddies at TBM- Trail Bike and Enduro Magazine- decided on a  very different approach when testing a new KTM 690SMC-R against a classic Honda CR500 hybrid.

Girls, bikes, a 57 Chevvy, a 1941 Tiger Moth and a Norfolk airfield to be exact. Here's how the 'Planes, Trails and Automobiles' feature from earlier this year panned out-

Everyone rocks up in the Chevvy. Bikes and all.  Tiger Moth arrives and the race is on.

Fly Girls Caz n' Sophie- TBM got our attention at precisely this point...

Both bikes were remarkably even over the 1km course. The CR500 got the jump but the KTM 690 eventually reeled it back in by the end of the runway. Both were miles quicker than the Moth though, apparently!

Wait for the Moth- and they're off!

Very cool way to run a feature chaps. Well done!
