Rapid Bikes - Issue 104

Bu sayıda

Issue 104 of Rapid continues to deliver on Rapid’s mantra – if it’s rapid, we’re into it. Phil Tainton Racing’s fire breathing Suzuki GSX-S1000 is on the cover, and what an animal that bike is. If you think you’ve ridden a fast bike before, you haven’t ridden this. Another fire breather is the turbocharged Kawasaki ZRX1200. We have the full story on what it takes to make a bike like this a reality. There’s a number of other modified bikes, including some beastly classic racers, like the Honda 500/4 all the way from the UK, and a Honda CB1100F from NZ. We feature the California Hot Rod, one of the most famous of Ducatis, and chat to Josh Brookes about the behind the scenes of world level racing. For you tech heads out there, we look at a neat fork mod to bring your old forks into the NOW and we start rebuilding an air-cooled Suzuki race engine And Mark McVeigh tells us why the right vision techniques are important to your riding.
