Old boys and proper bikes at the Spa Classic 2012.

If you miss seeing factory two stroke racing machinery being ridden properly then you should consider a trip to the Spa classic event in 2013.

Suzuki GSX-R Recall Affects 210,228 Motorcycles in US

Suzuki’s front brake master cylinder recall for GSX-R sportbikes going as far back as 2004 affects a whopping 210,228 motorcycles.
