I heard a rumour this weekend about one of the magazine writers / testers .
Shares a first name with Dan .
All the testers have had to produce their licences for insurance purposes , and it seems that one of them was unable to do this, as he has never had one !
Presently to be seen riding a 125 around Peterborough

Just got back from Woodbridge , yesterday we managed a full days racing .
Dutch guy reached 235 mph with the only clean run he managed due to electrical problems , its the first time in 5 years I have seen this guy turn upp and have problems .
We saw a couple of rodded turbo bikes , a gearbox failure , then today a guy had his brakes lock on and throw him off .
It appears they had been binding , then just locked the front wheel .
HE , tripped the beam at 135 , then got up and walked away , broken scaphoid only .

About the Gixxer? I have to admit I really wanted to want the Blade. But the Gixxer is the one I think I'll be going for. Whenever that will be.
Bob, are the 'build quality' issues still there with Suzukis?

I dont think there are any build quality issues with any of the Jap 4 .
I had a Thunderace from new 6 years ago , i thought that was going to rust before my eyes every time it got wet .
Without doubt I think the Hondas are better finished , but i wouldnt differentiate between the others .
Have a look around at some second user bikes
