Superbike Magazine April 2012 Back Issue

English

First Ride: Bimota DB8. SuperBike gets a ride on Bimota’s Ducati 1198-engined superbike. Exquisite machined components make up this hand-built dream bike, a title it’s likely to keep for most of us, since the asking price is around £20,000. Ouch.

Group Test: KTM 125 Duke, Honda CBR125R, Yamaha YZF-R125, Aprilia RS4 125. Pocket rockets or overgrown lawnmowers? We signed up World GP125 racer Taylor Mackenzie and unleashed our miss-spent childhoods on four unsuspecting learner legal 125s to see which one impressed the most girls.

Feature: Ducati Panigale Ahead of the launch of Ducati’s new superbike next issue, we took the opportunity to drape a pretty lady over one in front of a camera and have a look at how much this bike means to Ducati.

Feature: Track bike makeover We take a perfectly good Triumph Daytona 675 and turn it into… a perfectly good track bike. If you’re considering making the leap and turning your road bike into a track only machine, step this way.

Long term test bikes: 2011 Yamaha YZF-R1, 2011 Kawasaki ZX-10R, 2012 Suzuki GSX-R1000, 2012 Husqvarna TE449 our long term test bikes abused and rated. Kenny gets excited about his new GSX-R 1000, while Chris is messing around on his equivalent of a winter comfort blanket – the bonkers Husky 449 enduro bike. John, on the other hand, decided to run a picture of his ZX-10R taken by a giant x-ray machine. No, really.
