They interview Clarkson in this issue, where he says "all biker girls are slightly fat!"

But its a BMW and I would rather chop my own gonads off than own one of them.......car or bike. I know its silly, but i have some strange principles :roll:
Anyway, my subscription copy of Bike has usually arrived by now. Where is it?
Is it on general release yet?

I got my copy at ASDA on Monday night.

I know he says these things for a response, so here is one for him...... :toss:
Quite frankly, I have had better looking bowel movements than Clarksons face!

One thing about the BMW is that it costs £6,000 and BMW don't do price cuts. The £4,000 SV has a huge price advantage over the BM and is not that far behind.

VFM or something.

Compare a £6,000 bike like the 1200 Bandit or CBF1000 against the F800 and the BM looks weak indeed. Not including supersports 600...

I agree with them about the ER-6. It doesn't look nice at all. I had a good look at one and I could not give my money up for it. The SV looks far more 'expensive'.

The new Bandit 650 is a surprise. Has a new engine but it really is a new engine! Not a GSXR cast off. I thought the Bandit was dead but no...Suzuki must really love the 600 middleweight market.

Clarkson - the face of Dumbed Down Education. The guy receives an honarary Phd in engineering, without knowing very much at all about engineering. Or learing the not-very-fun mathematics (unless your me, in which case, maths is fun...better than soduku as a puzzle ayway...) :smt104

Clarkson...nope...got nothing positive to say there...

The human equivalent to the Sun newspaper.

Did you see the last bandit 650 made the top 10 in the RiDE power survey of new bikes?
They'd be crazy to drop the Bandit 600 series altogether, it's their competition against the HONDA CBF600.
The GSR is up against the Hornet, which in light of what the new Hornet is equipped with they had better hope they can sell the GSR on price alone.

The Basket 11-10-06 02:07 PM

The Bandit is a top machine...but what is the GSR600 about?

But a point of order 'ere...did you see what the SV was up against?
ER-6?
CBF600?
Where are the Fazers, Hornets and Zs? No longer top stuff!

It will be put up against the GS500 next!
