What the fook are RIDE on about this month??? :mad: How dare they award the Fazer 1000 "The 1000CC + Bike of the Year Award" :rolleyes: And to make matter worse,they had the cheek to give it the nod over the BB. What the fook is going on; I know journalists know fook all, but this takes the biscuit :rant: This is what the toss pots had to say in summary:

The results speak for themselves. This was a real-world test conducted using every day situations and involved a variety of riders with different levels of experience. We gave all the bikes a fair and equal chance (yeah right!), but one stood out. And that bikes was a Faer 1000. The reason is simple - the Fazer is a bike which holds it's own against any of it's rivals in any road situation.....................blah, blah, blah, blah.....And finally the Blackbird. The big Honda's a fantastic machine :bow: and it gave the Fazer a good run for its money, but it fell short when it came to full-on sports riding :xm However, if you're a regualr tourer, then we'd go for the BB for it's high-speeding crusing ability and aerodynamic fairing.

The cheeky bastids, imagine refering to the BB as a tourer :t I'll never buy RIDE again. man8um

no probs with the diabolics geeza. Changed the front last week coz it was stepped as a result of track days :rolleyes: But rear's fine.
The R1 wears Diabolics too and had that sideways at Mallory twice, but on both occasions that was due to over enthusiasm & shite riding :blush: coming out of the bus stop %$fan and braking into Edwina's :blush:
