Only €5,99

This is what’s been going through my head this month while putting together CMM. This month’s main test is the – perhaps – undervalued and overlooked Suzuki GS750, a bike many claimed was a bit of a Kawasaki rip off, replicating many of the Big K’s thencurrent features from the likes of the Z-series and yet building something special of their own. Whatever you think of the bike and its origins, it is the grandsire of the likes of the
GS1000, GSX-series, Katanas, GSX-Rs and modern Suzukis all…

Then there are those bikes that go their own way, either from a technology point of view or from a styling perspective. Enter, stage left, Aprilia’s Moto 6.5. Here was a machine with humble Pegaso-based running gear, but with the design that was very dividing. The looks were penned by designer Philippe Starck, more known for house lamps than lairy motorcycles. Our
own Steve Cooper rides an example from page 30 and falls for its charms. Me? Well, I rode one back in the day and I couldn’t stand the thing: it was an ugly home that the lovely five-valve Pegaso motor didn’t deserve at all. But, each to their own, eh?
