By Jon Urry on 05/11/2004 16:16:12
You put your left leg in, rear wheel out, in, out, in, out, slide it all about. And that's what supermoto is supposed to be all about...
Right, the photographer's on this corner, concentrate, let's make this a biggie. Yep, he's aiming the camera at me. Dump the clutch, oh yes here we go, it's sliding, go on... go on... hang on... that's a bit too far... uh oh... bugger. I'll just lie

Christian Iddon: The Apprentice
By Jon Urry on 01/12/2010 15:14:53
You may not have heard of him but Christian Iddon is a World Supermoto racer. His raw riding talent is obvious. So, has he got what it takes to make an impact in road racing? Mackenzie passes his verdict.

Technically speaking: Kawasaki S-KTRC
By Ben Cope on 24/11/2010 16:53:43
Traction control has come a long way in just a few short years. S-KTRC is the most advanced yet seen on a road-going bike. So what's it all about?
-KTRC is designed to enable riders to push the edge of traction. Well, that's the aim.If you've watched MotoGP in the 990 era, you'll know that in order to get the best lap time, the riders had to slide the bikes on the exit of corners. Too little slide

The rise of the 2002 Yamaha YZF-R1
By Bertie Simmonds on 22/04/2002 15:24:57
After the original 1998 R1, this version had a tough act to follow. So how did they go about developing and improving the previous model
working correctly, Yamaha used two experienced players in this field, Mikuni for the throttle sensor and Mitsubishi for the ECU (electronic control unit).So, simply put, it seems that Yamaha seems to have added the vacuum operated slide from a CV carb to a
