Here at Fast Bikes, we’re always on lookout for cool things to do on two wheels. So how does three days of spanking 600s around the only licensed track in Greece alongside star instructors sound for some time away? Pretty damn good in our books…

Greece Lightning

Now we’ve had our week of good weather this year, we thought it was only fitting to chase the sunshine –and scope out some of the best activities we can find on two wheels for you. So breaking the usual tradition of heading over to Spain for the standard trackday holiday, this time we headed out to Greece, to try out a brand new experience from an Italian company called Life Motorcycle. A Little bit of background: These guys (and gals) absolutely live and breathe bikes. From riding supermotos to working with the Ducati Riding Experience, the passion felt is so typically Italian –and an incredible breath of fresh air from the typical guys you meet running track events. The basis of the company isanarrive-and-drive style experience where you have the chance to ride a selection of Yamaha R6s and Honda CBR600RRs, around the only licensed race track in Greece; Serres circuit.

Heaven?

Now you might think that it sounds like any normal event, but as soon as you arrive there is an air of individuality about the whole experience; and it’s not just the fact we had Alex De-Angelis flying straight over from his World Superbike race in Misano to come spank some laps around Serres with us. For starters, they arrange a pick-up and transfer from the airport to the hotel at no extra charge; and the resort is stunning.

MV UNLEASHES ITS BRUTALE SERIE ORO

MV Agusta has marked its claim on the middleweight naked class with the arrival of the all-new Brutale Serie Oro. At its core sits the brand-new 950 EVO triple, a snarling, counter-rotating crank masterpiece pumping out 148bhp at 11,200rpm and 107Nm at 8400rpm. Even better, 85% of that shove is on tap from 3500rpm... proper road-riding grunt. With finger-followers, revised cam profiles and optimised cooling and lubrication, MV says it's stronger, smoother and – dare we say it – more reliable than any Brutale before it.

BMW'S BABY GS

Let's face it, not everyone wants a whopping big adventure bike in their life, and BMW gets that more than most. It's probably the core reason it's unleashed the new F 450 GS - a bike aimed squarely at the booming A2 adventure market, which drags a hefty dose of R 1300 GS design swagger into the 48hp class. With its unmistakable GS beak, X-shaped LED running light and slim, racy tail, the baby GS looks every inch the younger sibling of BMW's flagship bruiser.

OLIVER LONGTERMER SUZUKI GSX-R125

Another month into winter and the cold weather is not holding me back just yet. Despite the painfully icy winds, I have been out just as much as my I did in the warmer months, though with the help of layered clothes. The GSX-R125 continues to deliver more excitement, learning curves, and head turns - even after three months of riding.
