    Kawasakis

    Not that I'm a Kwakker owner, but the latest Performance Bike mag to hit the shops has road tests on a whole range of the latest Kawasakis of all shapes and size, plus articles on various famous K models of yesteryear such as the 750 H2 triple, the GPZ900 and more besides. This particular issue is the best bike mag that I've come across for some time - go get it!

    my old girl is has a K engine in her, so I'd be interested in reading this mag, so long as it's entirely objective of course not just a promotional stunt.

    Doubt if it will sell well.

    Cause Kawasaki buyers KNOW their buying quality without having to look is some magazine to see if certain models make the grade!

    Unlike Other brands!

    I take it Geoff that you still own shares in the mag then?! I bet you ride a really crap bike - oh - on the other hand you obviously have really good taste and know quality when you see it (Biff slowly retreats mumbling).

    Is that the UK publishes performance Bike mag? I haven't seen it on sale anywhere here.

    Is it the vibration or the woeful handling that causes their owners to suffer such grammatical impediment?
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    I still think the ZX6R was a great road sportsbike. (as opposed to a track sportbike like the GSXR)

    Suzuki's are like a loving dog, caring and loveable, yet also defensive and aggressive when they need to be.
    Kamakazis are like a wild, rabid, bush pig - they run flat tack, you hold on, and steer it away from obsticles.
    I used to love Suzukis and Yamahas - but now i have a fond spot for the Kwakas. Someday i have my orange Z1000turbo(with a shot of NOS for measure).
