LET’S GET IT ON!
Dangerous loves a bit of undressing, and so do his mates. Fast Bikes’ Moto3 Suzuki’s been made a hell of a lot lighter, if nothing else.

‘Pass me the hammer…’
If stripping a bike to pieces can be considered constructive, then it’s fair to say we’re making good progress with our Moto3 project. Over several brews, and far too many tall tales (on my part), an afternoon with my mates Clive and Jack saw a perfectly functioning and capable Suzuki RM-Z250 get ripped apart.
Now, for those of you that missed out on last month’s introduction, the plan is to reconstitute my RM-Z250 as a Moto3 wannabe. But not just the kind of bike that’ll look pretty at dinner parties and collect dust in the corner of a room. No, no, no! This bike’s destined for the race track, and we’ve got BSB’s Motostar championship in our sights. Just to get it out on the grid would be a result and, after the other day’s assault on the Suzuki, we’re hopeful we can turn this into a bike that’ll not just turn heads, but deliver a decent perform too. Or, at least hopefully.
