Issue #62 of Rapid has just rolled off the press and hit news stands nationally and is definitely our best issue to date!
Not only has Rapid Bikes upgraded to an even glossier and colour rich format but it has also grown in pages and stories all for the same bargain $8.95 RRP!
Bike tests include the new 2011 ZX-10R, Ducati 848 Evo & 1198S, Yamaha FZ8S.
Our cover bike this issue is the much anticipated BikeCraft Buell Cyclone that is doubtless the current leading Aussie custom sports/fighter and has eclipsed even the highest end and long reigning bikes we’ve featured over the years – and is sure to start Extreme Creations, S&R Pro and all major bike builders kicking off new challenges.
You will also find an S&R Pro turbo GSX-R600 – the first in OZ, a turbo Suzuki Bandit from Springwood Suzuki in Brisbane, a wild Kawasaki Zed from Germany and Jeff & Wayne Gardner test and strip the three Japanese World Superbike Fours – the Ten Kate Honda, Sterilgarda Yamaha and Alstar Suzuki as we continue our WSBK bike feature stories.
Of course we don’t just write about bikes, we build them, and this issue features huge updates on Project XJR and Project Gixer 750. Mr Grumpy (XJR) gets a Hindle slip-on, Metzeler hoops and full race suspension from Trooper Lu’s Garage and RaceTech and Jeff and Mick hit Eastern Creek and surprise more than a few including ourselves and even Yamaha Australia!
Project Gixer 750 gets loads more bling plus the OZ Racing wheels go on and Jeff hits Eastern Creek for 16 whopping sessions and comes away smiling.
Technical features include OZ Racing wheels part II, Gadget Power plug-ins, Tech Time guru Q&A and lots more.
Special features will give you a laugh – the crazy Aussie Streetfighters brigade take us on their No Fools Run and we go to the Postie Challenge as well as spending some time with Trooper Lu’s Garage…
The biggest sports news is the full race report on the Bel-Ray 6 Hour at Phillip Island and there is much, much more! Enjoy!!!!
