25th July 2016

WE FOUND IT. After chasing our tails all weekend at Brands, we finally found what makes all the difference in getting that sweet spot on the bike. Two inches of foam on the tank, which pushes me back and completely changes my riding position. Mad isn’t it? So with that, and a tonne of exercise…

25th July 2016

Okay, we survived Silverstone. By the skin of our teeth but we did it! We now had a bit of time to regroup now, before the home round at Brands Hatch.

18th May 2016

We had some cracking racing from Sepang, with Sykes back on the top step in race one and Hayden crafting a beautiful maiden win in the class in a rather wet race 2. Rea managed to extend his championship lead, and although Lowes had a big off in race two, found some good pace on…

10th May 2016

It’s not all fancy launches, spanking new bikes and sunshine at Fast Bikes. In fact, there’s nothing we like more than getting some cracking used bikes and heading out to our favourite local roads. That’s what we did this month, choosing four classic machines – that have surprisingly un-classic price tags. Whether it was a…

Does the name Massimo Tamburini ring a bell? Well it should. Not only did he play a role in the creation of Bimota, but he designed two of arguably the most iconic and beautiful machines laden with two wheels: the Ducati 916 and the MV Agusta F4. So how can you top that? Give the…

This weekend World Superbikes descended on Assen, for the second hit in a run of European rounds and gave everyone an excuse to love this championship again.

WE MADE IT TO SILVERSTONE! If you read my last blog, you’d of seen I made a bit of a mess. We ended up taking the bike back in a bunch of pieces wondering if it was all just a big nightmare. Yet, somehow, after a week of hard work and doubt we made it…

2nd April 2016

This Winter has seem some of the most strenuous testing plans I’ve ever seen. A whole host of teams throwing copious amounts of rubber at the tarmac in return for that miniscule advantage; and it’s showing. At Donington (just testing remember) the top boys went quicker than the qualifying pace last year, which means this…
