12 Launch Test: Suzuki’s 2011 GSX-R600
As hard as it may be to admit, the old GSX-R600 was a bit tubs lardy when compared to the scalpels in the sportbike class. To address this Suzuki ditched virtually everything from the old model and made an all-new 600 in its place.

102 MSL Project 2011: Yamaha YZR500 Replica
No sooner had the Editor finished his RGV250RR Project (and he hasn’t stopped going on about it yet!) when the ginger fella took the wraps off a collection of bike bits he’s been squirrelling away for a year or two on the quiet. Looks like we’re building a classic modern GP500 replica for the road then. Engine (yes), frame (yes), trick front end (yes). All systems go, go, go
