Fast Bikes (Feb 2013)

 

 

It’s an issue with the big launches in. Triumph kicks everything off with some substantial changes to the hugely successful Daytona 675. There wasn’t much wrong with it in the first place, so let’s hope the best just gets a little better. Then Kawasaki bigs up the Z750 to turn it into the Z800. We can usually see through a snazzy restyle, so Kawasaki need more than smoke and mirrors to make this Zed rock. Maybe it will… And last up is the MV Brutale 800, the latest in a long line of new Italian metal. Both bikes pitch themselves up against the Triumph Street Triple, but with they offer any opposition?

 

 

The riding doesn’t stop there, as Al gets a shot on a Harris Moto2 bike round Donington Park. Al’s ridden a lot of bikes in his time, so to call this the ‘best bike I’ve ever ridden’ is some accolade. Elsewhere, Beaky lets us in on his story about his first ever club race, and we look over where to book this year’s biking holidays. For 2013 we list 20 great destinations and 13 brilliant races to visit.

 

 

As you can see from the contents below (click it for a bigger version), it’s another ram-jammed issue, full of everything you want – and nothing you don’t. Packed to the rafters with bikes, bits and the occasional lady, it’s a feast for the eyes! There’s all the regular pages too, so that means great product reviews, stacks of news, tests galore, Addiction, riding, legal and bike materclasses, a racing round-up, longtermers, and the list simply goes on and on

Fast Bikes (Jan 2013)

 

 

 

We round up the best of the rest of the 2013 bikes, including a range of top new MVs and the awesome new KTM 1290 Super Duke R. And this month we didn’t just gawp at new bikes, we rode them as well, as Al went off to Spain for the launch of the hotly anticipated Triumph Street Triple R.

 

 

We’ve also had a shot on what the next generation of wannabe Fast Bikers are going to be riding until they get their full license proper, with the new A2 license friendly Kawasaki Ninja 300 and the Honda CBR250R ridden and rated. Al gets a shot on his race bike on the road, and also gets to see our Armed Forces go to war on the track as the forces meet at Mallory.

Fast Bikes (Feb 2013)

 

The latest issue of Fast Bikes (Issue 272 – March 2013) is in the shops and on sale now – rejoice! With the weather showing us glimpses of what could be in store in spring, now is the time to head out to the shops (or to the virtual shop where you’ll see our enhanced member) and get your fix of two wheel narcotics. Stick it in your crack pipe and inhale all the goodness that the March issue has to offer. We blew out the winter cobwebs this month and rammed this issue full of all the good stuff – new bikes, used bikes, racing, awesome feature, riding, mending and a lovely lady – so sit back and enjoy the March issue of Fast Bikes!

 

In terms of new bikes this month, it’s all about the MV Agusta F4 and F4 RR. These two stunning machines were launched in Valencia and Benjamin got the golden ticket out there. It’s a stunning machine parked up, but what’s it like on the hoof? Well, did you really expect us to reveal that? Back in Blighty, it was our enormous pleasure to get hold of a BMW HP4 to see whether its huge potential made it back on the boat. Then we get our first shot on the very surprising Suzuki Inazuma 250 and the A2 licence friendly (via a restriction) Kawasaki Z800 e. And there’s not a snowflake in sight…

 

Our core test is a simple premise. Why pay full whack on a brand new bike when there are some utterly amazing bargains out there on Planet Secondhand. We scoured the dealers to come up with four examples of you paying 50 per cent of the rrp and getting 100 per cent of the performance. With a 2007 Ducati 1098S, a 2009 Yamaha YZF-R6, a 2010 Kawasaki ZX-10R and a 2010 Suzuki GSX-R750 in the mix you’ll not find better value for money than in this amazing quartet.

 

And there’s still loads more to go, what with our feast for the eyes Addiction pages, our round up of the best helmets you can buy in 2013 (including the latest Valentino Rossi lid), brilliant race news and images, a great interview with the mega fast Lowes twins and we also catch up with Jonathan Rea. Then there’s riding, mechanical and legal advice, a new tracks and travel section, a used test on the 2009 cross plane crank Yamaha YZF-R1 and more besides. No wonder Christmas felt so short! If you want a slice of this, get to the newsagents now!

Fast Bikes (April 2013)

 

Get yourselves to the newsagents, digital or otherwise, and get yourself the new April 2013 issue of Fast Bikes Magazine NOW! It’s crammed with stacks of bikes old and new, features galore, product reviews, racing, masterclasses and even the odd lady thrown in for good measure

 

To kick things off we jump on some new bikes. The new 2013 Aprilia RSV4 Factory gets a run out in Estoril to see whether small changes made to the machine will add up to another sure-fire Sportsbike Of The Year Title. Then it’s out to South Africa to check in on the new world shrinking BMW R 1200 GS. Back in Blighty, we run the new Triumph Daytona 675R for, er, 675 miles round the West Country to see if there are any chinks in its armour.

 

Then we get to the big test; the Yamaha YZF-R1 takes on the Honda Fireblade family as we put both stables to the sword. This battle has been raging for 15 years now, and there are no signs of it letting up with the 2013 bikes the best ever. Then we find out that the new Triumph Street Triple isn’t going to have everything its own way in 2013 as the stunning Kawasaki Z800 is in with a shout of taking the naked middleweight crown from the British star.

 

After that, Fagan goes toe-to-toe with James Toseland and Danny Kent – in the gym – and proves that he’s got no hope here, either. So he then dons his off-road kit and heads out in the snow to go and have a play with Mick Extance in the white stuff. We check out the latest and very definitely the greatest in terms of aftermarket traction control and show how it makes riding faster – and safer. We then get 10 minutes with Dickey Beer, a stunt coordinator supremo, and chat about stunts, bikes and Stormtroopers…

 

After that, we check out possibly the trickest KTM RC8 in the land, with the help of one of our fine models, round up the best leathers you can buy this year, learn lots with all our Masterclasses, check out the staff and project bikes, hear what you lot have got to say and see where you’ve been, then we go racing and learn more about the phenomenon that is Spanish superstar Marc Marquez, and also get an exclusive interview with Jorge Lorenzo. You know, the MotoGP world champion
