The new issue (235 – June) is out now – so you better hot-foot it down the newsagents at lunchtime and get your monthly fix of hedonistic two wheeled addiction. There’s even a cracking DVD free with every issue – with over half an hour of full action footage and verdicts on the 600cc Supersport contenders.
So what’s in the mag then?
The Big Test
Strip Club – 1000cc Naked Sports
Kawasaki’s all new Z1000 takes on the class-leading KTM Super Duke, Honda CB1000R, Ducati Monster 1100 and Triumph Speed Triple in a full-on road and track shootout. This is hardcore naked madness.
The Other Big Test
The Perfect £6k Sportsbike?
Got £6,000 to throw at a sportsbike? Not sure which way to go? You could buy a new Benelli Tornado fresh out the crate, or you could go down the used route – with more risk, but increased bang for your buck. Brand new Benelli Tornado v used Triumph Daytona 675, Suzuki GSX-R750 K5, Honda VTR1000 SP-2.
