Rapid  |  Issue#81 May 2013
In latest issue of Rapid Bikes we take a look at a variety of bikes including an awesome 270 horsepower turbo Busa, a modified FZ1 track weapon, not to mention Cees’ Ducati 1198 which went from write-off to weapon. We’re testing the Kawasaki Ninja 1000 – touring down to Phillip Island and back, check out the world launch of the new Panigale 1199R, and the formidable the FJR1300 with its sporty touring prowess. Take a look inside the Team Honda Racing pit, where Paul Free of Motologic Racing works his magic with the likes of Josh Hook and Jamie Stauffer and read the final instalment in Steve Martin’s story. We cover the Eastern Creek GP layout for those wishing to learn the track before their first time, or take a few words of wisdom from Andrew Pitt on how to improve their times. Plus we cover all the racing news you may have missed since our last issue. All your regular favourites are here too, with Andrew Pitt, Steve Brouggy, Zenodamper and Bryan Staring, plus updates on all our long termers. Perfect for any bike enthusiast.
