Issue # Number 68 of Australia’s leading modified motorcycle magazine is on sale now.
The cover bike is a BMW called Slugger. With 204 rear-wheel horsepower, 150 ft/lb of torque from the turbo’d HP2 Boxer engine and hub-steering, this thing is wilder than your mother-in-law! The evil continues with a test of manhood aboard the Ducati Diavel, the bike that should come with self-control and a licence carrying unlimited points.
The fun kicks on with a head-to-head family feud between Suzuki’s GSR and GSX-R 750s, a hot rod Ducati that has a right to the name Monster is featured. Subtle yet capable of king-hits is the turbocharged Suzuki GSR600. Able to drag six deputy editors out of a pie shop, the PTR-modified Suzuki Bandit opened more than just eyes when Rapid rode it.
The second part of the in-depth interview with Mat Mladin continues, along with an interview with Mick Doohan.
The long termers all get a run as does the first look at Pirelli’s Rosso II Road tyres. For the dragracers Rapid has a scoop with our report of the Australian Nationals from Sydney Dragway.
