It’s a new year, but is it time for a new bike? Whether you’re after a brand new 2012 model, a slightly used one, or something iconic from back in the day – we’ve got it all in the new issue of Fast Bikes. There’s even a 36-page New Bike Guide, featuring all the hot metal for 2012. If you’re not splashing out on some new metal, we’ve got riding, technical and legal advice, pages rammed with new products and features, and the famous Addiction section to keep you entertained. Take a look…

Chris Walker Race School

fastbikes — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 10:42:31 +0000

I have had the privilege of attending a number of training schools in my time at Fast Bikes, from Off road adventures with BMW, Wheeldon Farm Instruction, Bike Safe and of course 3 levels of the fabulous California Superbike School. But now there is a new(ish) kid on the block, the Stalker himself has devised a very new experience starting next year, and it’s high on my Christmas List – the Chris Walker Race School.

The school is a well thought out concept that promises to bring something to the table for any level of rider, tuition will come from one instructor for every two students handpicked by Chris with notable inclusion of current BSB Riders. You can expect an education on braking, your positioning, acceleration, lines and most intriguing of all for me is this will all be done in a race style – Warm-up Laps, Free Practice sessions and Superpole. Like with racing itself you will have live timing on screens and sheets to measure your improvement throughout the day with the chance to hit the podium and spray champagne all over the grid girls.

This is all going on at the recently resurfaced Mallory Park, interestingly the first circuit Stalker ever raced at and with its fast, slow and technical sections is the perfect venue for you to cut your teeth in the race style ‘experience’. The school is well supported too via key brands such as D.I.D chains, Maxxis tyres, KBC Helmets and Scorpion exhausts to name but a few. There is also an impressive fleet of Kawasaki ZX-6R’s to start you on your racing experience, once you have completed the supersport then they may even roll out the ZX-10R superbikes for you – and if you impress enough you may even progress into the big leagues and actually race with Chris as your mentor.

I rode with Chris once before at the WSB event at Silverstone, what he imparted to be in a 30 second passing boosted my confidence and riding massively, imagine what 8hrs will do!

So as soon as you sign up you will receive the intro pack (pictured), containing sliders, T-Shirt, Decals and other useful track day bits – Now that would look good under any Christmas Tree… I am leaving a space as a hint under mine.

The sun is out, the sky is blue, it’s mildly nippy, but we have the answer for you. Don’t worry, we’re much better at magazines than we are at poetry. The new issue is on sale now – and you get a free fleecy neck warmer with every issue! Grab one sharpish…

Here’s what’s inside:

Motorcycle Live 19th-27th Nov

Not long to go now folks. While most of us are in no hurry to visit the NEC itself, the allure of what will be hiding within from the 19th to the 27th November should be more than enough to get us all en route.

With 33 manufacturers (which is basically all of them) confirmed as exhibitors, a hoard of retailers, and stacks of interactive attractions, you’re certainly not going to get bored. Of course, you may end up broke by the time you leave, though.

This’ll be your first chance to see all the new 2012 bikes in the flesh, and there’s quite a bit to see. There’ll be the new Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade, Yamaha YZF-R1, Suzuki GSX-R1000, Husqvarna Nuda 900R, Ducati Streetfighter 848, BMW S 1000 RR, and a host of updated tweaks to pour over.

You can take the whole family along too, because even if they don’t ride already, they can have a go at the NEC. The ‘Get On’ campaign will be there, er, getting people on motorbikes for the first time, and if your nippers fancy a go (and why wouldn’t they), then Honda’s ‘My First Licence’ will be giving them the chance to catch the bike bug.

And to cap it all, Fast Bikes is sponsoring the ‘Question of Bikes’ attraction this year, with our good friend Stavros on the mic, most probably saying inappropriate things in public, as usual. See you there!

This month sees the 600cc sportsters go head-to-head with Honda’s new CBR600F jumping into the fight against its rivals; the new Triumph Street Triple gets some competition to worry about as it takes on Suzuki’s GSR750, Kawasaki’s Z750R and Yamaha’s FZ8; we give the new MV Agusta Brutale 920 a spanking; and that’s not even the half of it…

See what’s in this issue:

Plus – get a free waterproof pouch with every issue, so you’ll never kill another phone again…
