World Superbikes came to Donington Park for a sunny, dry weekend of truly excellent racing. We really got some of the most exciting, nail biting stuff we've ever seen, some great results and some genuine surprises. Oh, and it didn't rain either...

World Superbikes and Monza are a just about unbeatable combination, certainly when it comes to nailbiting racing and unexpected results. This time we got some unexpected results, that's for sure. Just not necessarily in the way we might have liked...

You hear lots of things about tyre wear, weather, setup and so on. But what does it all mean? Here's a brief, and necessarily simple, look at some of the terms you're likely to come across in race reports, and an idea of their significance.

Assen never fails to provide thrills a-plenty. It's fast and challenging and always manages to produce a curveball from somewhere with predictably, um, unpredictable results. I think it's fair to say that this year's SBK round was no exception ...

FIXI are supporting the Crescent Suzuki SBK team. We met up with a bunch of guys who made a promo video for them at Imola, and were sufficiently impressed with the finshed result as to want to share it with you. Enjoy. (Links to another site) Almeria is a beautiful privately owned circuit in Spain. You'll not find it on the race calendar, but it's a favourite with trackday goers. We went with BSB Eurotracks to see what the fuss is all about... The GSX-R series of bikes is generally regarded as being at home on the track. Even though the 750 doesn't have a race series, it's still sold as a proper track weapon. We took the opportunity to find out if it's justified...

MotoGP kicked off for 2012 in Qatar. New rules, with bigger engines (no more boring 800cc freight trains), extra bikes on the grid and different tyres had great potential for a things to be rather more interesting than before. Did it work? Have a look and see...

Imola is one of those Italian circuits with masses of history and fantastic atmosphere. Not only that, but it delivered some of the best Superbike racing we've seen for ages when the SBK circus rolled into town. Hard fought with some truly epic battles and heroic rides...

2012 started with a bang at Phillip Island when the first race of the Superbike season threw a few surprises into the mix from the outset. Great, close racing and some true heroics made this a weekend to remember for most of us...

We regularly come across products that make great claims and fail to deliver. But this time we've come across something that appearsto be unadvertised and makes no claims at all, but works well enough that it should be in everyone's toolbox... Sticky Stuff Remover! Every couple of years, Suzuki bring out a new version of their evergreen GSX-R 750 which we get to review. I make no secret of our fondness for the bike overall, but the 2011/2012 bike is, well if I tell you everything here it'll spoil the review for you, won't it?... Sam Lowes is young, good looking, bloody fast on a motorbike and could well lift the World Championship next year if he's given the support. He's also an infuriatingly nice lad, completely without the ego and nonsense that some riders carry with them. Worth a chat, then...
