12th December 2016

For us, this bike as a lot to live up to; replacing the ER-6N is always going to be a tough job as it was such an easy, all round package and the ‘Z’ heritage is filled with 40 years of incredible machines – meaning a combination of the two for this bike could be…

As Sepang was pretty special this weekend, we decided to give you guys a little gallery to feast your eyes on. So how about some riding style comparison? So who’s got the best style? We’re thinking Marquez for pure craziness but Jack Miller is pretty classic. But as a little bit of a…

With the range of Supernakeds growing ever more popular (and bonkers), it was only a matter of time until Kawasaki upped their game and finally gave its Z1000 a higher spec twin; behold, the Z1000 R edition. Here at Fast Bikes, we love the letter ‘R’ on anything; so it’s always good news when a…

29th October 2016

Now, I can hear the muttering already that it’s just another reincarnation of the Dragster RR – but don’t be fooled by those similar aesthetics. Yes, she wears some jazzier clothes but MV have also given some sweet love performance wise as well (And this is the non-power sapping Euro 3 model to boot), so…

26th October 2016

Hot off the heels (get it?!) of our gloves special, we follow up with some super sweet boots this time around. It would appear on the outside, that crafting a proper set of boots is a lot easier than making decent gloves. We’d all be forgiven for thinking that the case, but it just isn’t.…

The hand is a brilliant bit of evolution, we think you’d all agree? That opposed thumb we possess certainly has much to answer for regarding our scorchio development as a species and now, in the modern age, every digit is more important than ever considering all the sodding buttons we push on a daily basis.…

Jesus, here we are, getting psyched up for the last round of 2016. Feels like only yesterday I was spewing letters on a word document about how awesome testing was; and now we are at the end of the road. Brands is always a mental weekend for us as its only just down the road;…
