Buying a used sportsbike has never been such good value – we test five total corkers for under £2,500, then ride from Land’s End to John O’Groats and back without stopping on a trio of adventure trailies, sort out your suspension with our easy set-up guide, and race an S 1000 RR against a Nissan GT-R at Brands Hatch. It’s a packed issue!
Check out the full Car v Bike video in our Bike Channel media player on the right – and see Alastair going head-to-head with a Nissan GT-R on a BMW S 1000 RR at Branda Hatch Indy.

If all this sunshine is making your sportsbike gland itchy, you better hot-foot it down the newsagents and buy the only known cure – Fast Bikes magazine. Liberal application will prevent symptoms becoming irritating, but can induce long periods of riding, retail therapy and dangerously long periods of self-indulgent behaviour and happiness.

I was watching the goggle box the other night – in fact I was mourning my way through the final episode of Mad Men – when I saw this advert for a load of processed pretend food (ie the sort of stuff Fagan lives on). Imagine my surprise when I saw Bradley Smith was the star of the advert!
