Motorcycle Racer 195
It’s here! The new edition of Motorcycle Racer magazine, issue #195, is now on sale in the shops and through the website.
The one and only Troy Bayliss, multiple World Superbike Champion and MotoGP race winner, is our Guest Editor, ably assisted by racing’s men-in-the-know, Andrew Pitt, Scott Smart, Neil Spalding, and backed up by fabulous photographs from those trackside wizards with cameras. This issue’s theme is Selling Racing and we’ve gone round the world finding out who is doing what to get new riders and fans involved in the most exciting sport there is!
The 2017 Ducati factory MotoGP bike goes under the microscope, we find out what life as a MotoGP mechanic is really like – and find out what’s gone on in the Aprilia garage with Sam Lowes in a revealing interview with his crew chief.
Over to World Superbike and the story of Puccetti Kawasaki ZX-10 Superbike build – the bike that got Leon Haslam a podium at Donington – is told by none other than Andrew Pitt. We fire a bunch of questions at Scott Smart about the shenanigans over World Superbike rules and regs. Onto British Superbike: we talk to Jake Dixon and the RAF Reserves team and go behind the scenes at a typical BSB weekend.
We explode common track day myths – and find out what the experts recommend to make sure you get the most from a trip to your local circuit, even if you’re a track day virgin.
And there’s more – the men behind the British Talent Cup including Jeremy McWilliams and Alberto Puig explain the reasons for its introduction and the father of one of the chosen Cup riders talks us race series options for talented young riders in the UK.
And why not enter one of our two competitions? We’ve got prizes up for grabs but to enter either of them will take a little bit of thought…
