2011 SUPERBIKE COMPARO ROCKS RAPID BIKES

Australia’s most in-depth Superbike Comparo is done and the winner is revealed in Rapid Bikes #66, on sale today.

When Rapid Bikes selects a winner, it’s only after thousands of kilometres on the road and hundreds of laps of The Farm.

The winner is voted on by riders that you know and trust: Wayne Gardner is our chief road tester and he’s ably backed up by fellow Australian road racing legend Peter Galvin. Bernie Hatton, James Spence, Jeff Ware and Warwick Maguire have all attained A-Grade racing status for good reason. The rest of our testing panel are experts in their own field. We don’t run lucky dips.

The 2011 contenders represent the finest selection of superbikes ever offered to Australian riders and the results may surprise.

Australia’s first turbocharged Honda CBR1000RR is also featured alongside a Ducati Monster and Yamaha FZ6N that have also been customised.

Jeff also hit the world launch of the Pirelli Diablo Rosso II at Salt Lake City, Utah, and we introduce our long-term Ducati 1198.

Rapid Bikes is a production of independent Australian publisher JP Media, home of Knee Down and Used & Classic Bike Enthusiast magazines.
