The 2008 MBOY competition was a real close one with the winner getting the nod by the barest of margins. What was also a fact of last years competition is that two-stroke love is alive and well with the gold going to Con Psaros and his insane RGV500 that was featured in Rapid Bikes, November 2007.
Con jammed an RG500 engine into an RGV250 chassis and in the process created a masterpiece, one that suitably impressed the Rapid faithful enough to get the prize.
The winner of the fantastic Warrian Enterprises prize pack was Kevin Mitchel, for his comments on Bruce Patterson's turbo 'Busa
"Bruce's bike is a great example of a street bike and has inspired me to build my own Hayabusa. Thanks to people like Bruce and Rapid Bikes for so much inspiration"
