BSB 2012; Mystic Mac investigates
By Niall Mackenzie on 03/01/2012 15:13:44
It's only January and not every team is in place but I can't help pontificating
chance of giving the ZX10RR its first ever BSB title. I know Shane Byrne is desperate to add a Mackenzie equalling third championship trophy to his collection and, as I know his fitness, determination and talent aren't in question, I’m looking forward

Rainy BSB tests are nothing new
By Niall Mackenzie on 25/03/2013 09:44:00
This year's pre season washout will just generate more excitement for the fans come April
THE combination of bad weather in the UK and a European testing ban means that most BSB teams will now start the season with very little track time. This sounds like a disaster for the top teams but history has proved this isn’t necessarily true

John Reynolds on the latest Gixers, BSB and Loose Women
By Niall Mackenzie on 21/02/2012 18:52:04
When John Reynolds was pushing me hard in the late nineties for BSB titles he was always polite and would happily stop to chew the fat and talk about the weather. But that was the limit of our friendship as he never wanted to like rivals too much

The short but sweet life of the Yamaha R7
By Niall Mackenzie on 17/01/2012 15:39:42
It didn't win any BSB races but I love it all the same
I was reunited with an old friend recently, my 1999 Virgin Yamaha R7 Superbike. By the end of 1998 I had won three straight BSB titles with the Yamaha YZF750, when main sponsor Cadbury’s pulled out leaving zero funds for a title defence

BSB's green movement
, even though the money involved in each championship is very different. America is a much bigger country so the best six or so riders get paid a lot more than here. The link between BSB and the AMA got me thinking that we have been doing something right

By Niall Mackenzie on 21/05/2013 08:49:48
Three-time BSB champ swaps S1000RR for HP4
Like most Superbike fans I have been reading with interest how technically clever the BMW HP4 is and how incredible it is to ride. And when it was launched last year I had every reason to believe the hype because I’ve covered many miles on standard S1000RRs and they delivered ev...

By Warren Pole, Niall Mackenzie on 20/04/2008 21:32:42
It's Suzuki against Suzuki as the standard GSX-R750 meets its Nemesis - the Crescent Suzuki BSB GSX-R750 Special. And boy is it special...
miles from Donington, Niall Mac, the Crescent GSX-R and our photo shoot, and I was late already.A blurred glance at the stock GSX-R's speedo (I was shivering that much) showed I was doing 70mph. I needed to go faster, so I pushed up to a ton but all

He knows the ropes when it comes to Superbikes and our parsimonious pundit fervently believes both World and British series will be things of great wonder and entertainment
Lizzy, where did it all go wrong?The World Superbike Britfest is of course up and running and looks like keeping us glued to our tellies until the final round in October. That said, we have some big names coming home to roost in BSB that should make
