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…

We here at Fast Bikes heard that Tuesday just gone (yup, August 23rd) was Swedish Meatballs day. It’s true! Go check it out!

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…

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.

Although Silverstone isn’t renowned for always throwing up the best racing in the world, this weekend was an absolute corker to kick off the 2016 MCE Insurance British Superbike season.

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…

We sat down with Mr Peter Hickman to have a chat about his stellar season last year, and his ambitions for 2016 on board the JG Speedfit Kawasaki ZX-10R. What was intended to be a ten minute chat turned out to be a half hour pot of gold. It’s well worth listening to the lot!…

Touring on the best sportsbikes on the planet? Easy… Last summer a few of us rode down to Portimao for our big 2015 ‘Sportsbike Of The Year’ event. BJ led the group, which consisted of himself on a BMW S 1000 RR, and three touring virgins. Gary from Bridgestone on Yamaha’s R1M, reader Dan on…
