New Motorcycle Magazine

Postby aardvark » Thu Jul 29, 2004 10:40 am

Remember the first issue of Moto (with the 500hp Hayabusa on the cover)? Wondered what happened to the second issue? Well, the crew at MOTO have been busy and have renamed the magazine, Rapid Bikes.

Not only have they renamed the magazine, but they also have 3 new contributors – Wayne Gardner, Mick Withers and Paul Bates.

Wayne will test all the latest in sportsbikes, while Mick, who is the editor of Dragster Australia, will look after all of their drag racing news.

Paul Bates is one of Australia’s premier stunt riders and will be in control of Flipped, their stunting section.

This issue they have a full test on the ZX-10R, Benelli Tornado RS, GSX-R600 and 750 plus the usual five wild customised bikes – including an incredible Lazareth V-Max.

Rapid Bikes magazine #1, on sale this Thursday 29/7/2004 for $6.95 in a newsagency near you!

Better than the first issue and better than AMCN so we'll see how it grows.
