7th October 2010

After being given an almighty kicking in 2010, 2011 certainly looks a little brighter for Japan’s big four. The leader of next year’s pack is, somewhat surprisingly, Kawasaki. The drip feed of information on the new ZX-10R has now turned into a torrent, with Kawasaki releasing the final spec on what it hopes will be a…

7th October 2010

We’ll have to wait until the Milan show to see the really exciting stuff (mainly the firm’s new cruiser – the Diavel), but Ducati’s offering at Intermot certainly gets our thumbs up. As a starter, this is all very tasty indeed.

30th September 2010

The strangest thing happened the other day – I actually sold one of my bikes. Having seven lying around the place seemed a little excessive, and so I moved my GSX-R750 Slabside donor bike onto someone else who needed it more – FB reader Nigel Harte, who is building himself a very nice Slabby.

You’ll probably already be aware that the Red Arrows are riding from Land’s End to John O’Groats at the end of the month, in aid of a host of worthy causes. They’re being a bit mincey and taking four days just to go one way (we did it twice in 30 hours), but in their…

Suzuki redefined the sportsbike market in 1985 with the release of their ‘Slabside’ GSX-R750. Twenty-five years later BMW have achieved the same incredible feat of ripping up the rule book and defining a new chapter for the evolution of the sportsbike.

12th September 2010

Just as I think I am making good progress with my ZXR400 I find the next project come round the corner. About a month ago my other half passed her test and we went out and sourced a bike. This was pretty tricky, Shay is not the tallest of lasses and thus cannot ride either…

Charlies ZXR400, Keeping Cool

10th September 2010

When I started stripping the ZXR400 I started compiling a list of what I needed to replace. Bar the faring that is smashed to hell, the radiator and oil cooler were at the top. A clogged up mews of shite that went throughout the intricate grills of these integral parts of the bike.

17th August 2010

I’ve spent time sorting the electrics, fuelling, suspension, brakes and various other things that needed attention and although it functions,it could look a bit better. The bike came with its original plastics, and boasted features such as one missing seat lug, a missing centre panel on one side, a cracked lower right fairing and a…

13th August 2010

I was shattered this morning, having celebrated my track experience of Assen Circuit with a little drinky last night, no head banging just a happy tired.
