Sliding Stateside: AMA Flat Track
By Warren 'Wozza' Pole on 28/10/2002 15:06:21
US Flat-tracking is changing its image and producing the next generation of future MotoGP and WSB racers. No longer looking like extras from the set of Deliverance, these new flat-trackers are cool kids with modern gear and a whole new attitude...
full of 18 different types of coke (decaff, recaff, diet, cherry, berry, or good 'ole original anyone?).And as one freeway gives way to another we slide south from Cuyahoga Falls (middle Ohio, middle of nowhere) to Thornville (Southern Ohio, slap bang

California Superbike School Supermoto review
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...
. Now, I'm no Thierry van den Bosch, but after the 20-minute session I was sliding it with confidence and hadn't fallen off. But it was only a matter of time...Back in the classroom and the next lesson was to combine a bit of back brake with the slide

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.
be no point in Christian racing a 125 or 250 GP bike, he doesn't have the right style, he needs to start on a 600 or even a 1000 so he can slide it. He is smooth with the throttle and has so much feeling for a rear tyre."After a full day's tuition around

Bridgestone BT-002 review
By Jon Urry on 15/10/2006 10:17:52
Bridgestone launches its new Racing Street tyres - road-legal rubber aimed predominantly at track day riders in search of serious grip
in them, and certainly enough for a few more track days.For fast track riding and very occasional road use the Racing Streets are certainly worth trying.BT-002 Racing Streets are available in 120/70-17 fronts and 180/55-17, 190/50-17 and, later in the year

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?
was opening the throttle wide open in 1st on the exit of a hairpin, feeding in 2nd and then 3rd.The rider behind me said the ZX-10R laid a long black arc as I went through the gears. In 1st at full throttle leant over, the system did cut in obviously, but only

What makes Lorenzo so good?

He loves to slide Jorge gets faster through the course of a race. When the tyres get squirmy, Jorge gets going, frequently setting his best lap at the end: “Not too many riders have this talent. For sure, my father’s training helped me to develop

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
and stroke, 11.8:1 compression ratio, five valves per cylinder, two inlet, three exhaust (you only really need four valves, but 20 looks nicer than 16 in a flashy graphics font on the fairing...) but certain changes do make this motor special.First up
