By Ben Cope on 17/04/2012 12:08:32
Would a 100bhp limit be the end of motorcycling?
comes in and we're stuck with it, what now?The Future?Out in Portimao, on a Bridgestone S20 tyre launch, there was one bike in the pits that wasn't getting a lot of love: the 2012 R1. It was a French model, restricted to 106bhp.I had to have a go

Did you know Spain's motorcycle federation has banned its riders from competing in the TT these last 37 years. Neither did we, but Niall's taking up the cause for a rider's right to choose
and Alonso could have always got their kicks concussing each other with tomatoes at La Tomatina festival in Bu–ol or playing tag with the bulls in Pamplona.Anyway back to the TT and enter stage left Senor Antonio Maeso. Antonio is competing on an R1

Michael Scott Column - Mar 10

By Niall Mackenzie on 16/01/2009 12:55:14
Niall Mackenzie reviews the 2008 Suzuki GSX-R750 throughout a year of abuse
of instructing I’m always keen to have a sports bike as a longtermer but I found last year I had to dig deep on my R6 if I ever got someone on a Blade or an R1 with some pace. Hopefully the 750 will give me the best of both worlds with its 600 chassis and extra
