Tickin' over

June 2023

The 2023 British Superbike Championship is now well under way – and if you  didn’t put the work in pre-season, I’m sorry to say you’ve probably missed the boat. Au revoir…

Tickin' over

It’s crazy. I see so many riders ramp up their training as a new season begins, but this is actually one of the worst things you could do – at this point in the year, the gas should be rolled off in an attempt to maintain the level of physical fitness developed during those long, hard winter months... not rolled on to improve it. 

In past issues of Fast Bikes, I’ve touched on the various phases (mesocycles) of physical preparation required to develop the best package possible to win races, each of which are characterised by differing levels of training intensity. In season is most definitely NOT the time to be going hard at it.

CLASS OF 2025 TRACK ATTACK

When it comes to getting a proper grasp of a sportsbike, there’s nothing like giving it a proper flogging on track. So, following on from Big Mac’s deep dive into these four reprobates last month, having been in the saddle tearing up His Majesty’s highways, it’s time to crank things up a notch and bounce a few limiters off the walls around our favourite rollercoaster Cadwell Park. Armed with little more than a genny, some tyre warmers, and late autumn sunshine, here’s what went down when we let them off the leash...

UNIDENTICAL TWINS

They might share the same ethos, capacity, and scantily-clad demeanour, but the DNA of these sub-litre headbangers couldn't be more different. The question is, which one should you crave most? We hit the road and the track in a bid to find out...

KTM 990 DUKE On track...

It's fair to say that on track I didn't enjoy the KTM as much as I did on the road. By living in the upper half of the rev range all of the time, it just felt that I couldn't really access the KTM's strongest points.
