Re: Mr Postman
It's fine if you want to reminisce about old sportsbikes and learn how to restore them.
It's all a bit "we were young once".

The more I read the more I agree with that, although the bit about the Fireblade Evo was interesting. I had never heard of it before... I might start buying Fast Bikes.

Re: Mr Postman
I've still not got my copy but I can imagine it's as described.
I also get Bike monthly as it's free with my bank account as a benefit but that has little to do with sportsbikes unfortunately.
Seems like fastbikes mag might be the last decent sportsbike mag to grace the shelves as Superbike mag went to the wall a few years ago and now the loss of PB is leaving little choice for sportsbike fans.

Re: Mr Postman
I was first.
Fast Bikes is way past its best anyway. Not much to read in their anymore anyway IMHO.
I think I posted it on the 765 thread but only 37,000 sportsbikes were sold in the world last year. It’s not a big market anymore especially if you think Honda sell 19 million two wheel vehicles last year.

Re: Mr Postman
My very first big bike was a adventure bike and tbh I can see me edging back to one the older I get, just not quite ready yet :Kwacky wrote:The great lead
Others follow
But a KTM Superduke GT is a very nice compromise

A lot of ebay sellers are doing that. They list it on ebay for a bit more then order via Amazon and send it direct to you. They save on postage and packaging as well.

Re: Mr Postman
Liking that Rossgo, I’ve got a kit that’s similar, but I hadn’t thought of adding a multi tool to it - now rectified thank you!
