Have you ever lain in bed, arithmetic running riot in your head? I have. It has happened to me regularly. You see, in automotive journalism, there is a catch. You can't own it. Almost always the vehicles you want are not within your reach, and because you drive and ride vehicles far beyond your reach, you can never emotionally accept settling for a vehicle that is actually well within your means. This means you are left calculating what your income is, what you can spare off it, what EMI that becomes and how you will fuel and service the motorcycle. It is probably the same with cars, but I've never thought like this about a car. I just knew I would never be able to buy a Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet from the moment I cast eyes upon her, er, it.

If you opened the magazine and flipped straight to this story instead of unclogging those rain gutters, worming the cat, earning a living or some actual productive societal function, you’re either knee-deep in this all-surface adventure shtick or dreaming about it.

You’ve read everything there is to read about Helge Pedersen: 'round the world in 10 years and 220,000 miles on an R80G/S. You watched Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman take the longish 20,000-mile way from London to New York, via France, Germany, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Canada and a good chunk of the continental United States on kitted BMW R1150GS Adventures in 2004. You have their 15,000-mile '07 sequel on DVD: John 'O Groats, Scotland to Cape Town, South Africa in 85 days on a fresh pair of R1200GS Adventures, just for the fun of it. Fun?

The ultimate in performance has always been argued in the hallowed halls of the motorcycle industry; what qualifies?
Does blistering acceleration make up for compromised cornering?
And, where do you consider a proper place to compare bikes against one another – a drag strip, a race track or a winding real roads circuit?
Well, this new machine from the Czech Republic may take the win in all of those categories. The FGR Midalu 2500 takes the whole ‘most powerful motorcycle’ debate to an entirely new level.
