If you were to ask a group of random people what they thought a Sport Bike was all about, the majority would respond with some kind or comment about speed, power or performance. For most these bikes are an endless search for lap times and eking out every ounce of what is possible with modern…
For this morning’s Track Day Tuesday segment – rapidly becoming my favorite on RSBFS – we have a real life The Matrix moment. Will you take the red pill or the blue one? Because this morning we have two ultra-rare factory Honda customer race bikes from two different sellers. Sure, some of you were just…
