It’s the one we’ve all been waiting for. Finally we’ve managed to get the
multi-award winning GSX-R 1000-based special ‘Cedzior,’ top photographer Rob
Irving, and professional fit burd and Superbike TV presenter Jess Impiazzi into
the same room at the same time. We locked them in with a grossly inadequate
amount of clothing and told them they weren’t coming out without a truly
stunning set of pics. After a couple of hours, this was the result.
Cedzior features a breathed-on GSX-R 1000 engine in a hand-built frame,
with plenty of unique details including the belt drive conversion, twin nitrous
bottle feeds under the tailpiece and a frankly stunning level of attention to
detail. It’s one of the most hotly anticipated spread bikes we’ve run in recent
years.
Elsewhere in issue #232 Clink's got all the jibber jabber
on Mr T's GSX, whilst we knuckle down with Dusty’s Germanic-style FireBlade and
go flat out for a beautiful XS650 tracker. We get all worldly and international
with a late model turbocharged R1 from Australia, an Italian dragbike-inspired
custom Tuono, a South African Z900 and yet another awesome creation from serial
US streetfighter builder, Full Of Hate.
We’ve got event coverage from Verona, a ProFile on Mick
Butler and a fascinating addition to our ‘Anatomy Of…’ technical series. This
feature rolls up its sleeves and delves, elbows-deep, into a dedicated Moto
Gymkhana bike to find out precisely which modifications are made to get around the
sport’s tight, technical courses in the quickest possible time. And we’ve got
our usual choice blend of news, announcements, product reviews, illustrations
and lots, lots more.
Subscribers should get their copies very soon, whilst the
mag goes on sale next Thursday (04/04).
April the Fourth be with you. Er, no, hang on…
