Grab yourself a copy of Rapid Bikes issue #83 and read our huge 2013 Rapid Bikes Superbike Track Shootout where we put the new BMW HP4 and Ducati Panigale up against the BMW S 1000 RR, Ducati Panigale S, Honda CBR1000RR, Yamaha YZF-R1, Kawasaki ZX-10R, MV Agusta F4 and Suzuki GSX-R1000. This year, the rules are simple – the bike that is voted the most fun to ride is the winner! But it doesn’t stop there, with issue #83 there’s a Quick Test on Yamaha’s YZF-R15, an amazing custom Aprilia RSV4, a Ferrari Busa with the looks to match the go and a NOS B-King, plus our own long termers – including our new 2013 Hayabusa! The features include Matt Batistta’s return to racing, a Tyre Test on Pirelli’s Angel GT tyres and all the regulars such as Flipped with Matt Mingay and ET for your drag racing fix. In the Knee Down track section, you will find columns by Steve Brouggy, Remy Gardner from his progress in Spain, Andrew Pitt and Bryan Staring as well as a track guide for Barbagello Raceway and our first look into A-Grade racing in the Getting Started Guide. We’ve also expanded and improved our On Track section for all your domestic and international racing news, plus much more!
