Does it still have a photo of a semi-naked tart on every second page?

Don't know, I haven't sent off my subscription thing yet

PB doesn't have any tarts in it AFAIK. You must be thinking of Superbike mag or Fast Bikes.

Thanks. Kyle's bike is an 08.


It's the 600 that's got the horrid lights. I had assumed the 1000 had gone the same way. I think the K7 and K8 1000s are pretty much the same bike.

My 2p..........

I really like the look of the beemer, got quite an eggresive look to it. Though ive never rode a boxer, so not sure what they ride like.....

and i HATE to say it, but i really dont like the way the gixxer has evolved in looks, i still prefer the K5. Now i know technological its an absolute masterpeice, but still its aesthetically unpleasent.!!!! lol.

K5's not THAT much different to the 7/8.

But there is a subtle difference which, I agree, is preferable.

Superbike has stopped the T&A (and even the dodgy phone line ads) as of this month.

I have a subscription to it (not deliberately, but it was the only bike mag I had the option to change a gift sub of TopGear magazine to).

I actually quite like it - down to earth, and packs plenty stuff in. No bullshit, and no apparent marque favouritism.

I used to buy Bike, but the waffly, boring nonsense articles were rapidly overtaking the interesting stuff last time I read a copy.
