WORDS: IANPERRYMENT
An invite to a bike launch at the Bikeshed almost always involves the covers being pulled off some sort of café racer thing, with the assembled ranks of tattooed hipsters stroking their beards in admiration, before heading back to the bar for another gluten free pale ale. But something stirred our loins when we saw the word ‘sportsbike’ on the invitation.
Held tightly under wraps, literally (they were draped in silk), the covers came off to lay bare the firm’s new GP Sport and GP Street. The former is the fully faired race version, the latter the naughty street naked.
