Nigel, what about a scanned version of the MCN article!

[Nigel]

I am working on it. We don't get the thing in South Africa, so I have asked a friend in the UK (he is a German friend) to buy one on the way home and scan it for me. Hopefully it works. I promised him a couple of bottles of red wine next time I see him

Good idee to have this news scanned........

Thanks a lot and hello from a very hot day (still 28 degrees at 10 pm) in West-Switzerland

I have a scanned version. Is there somewhere we can host because it is too big to post??

The test rider is from Sitzerland (Martin Walti 49 years like me ) and he owns a Fireblade. He says this bike is the best bike he has ever ridden. He says the motor is fantastic and the brakes are awesome. He says the chassis is super stable under barking and he was faster than tuned racebikes even though the bike is standard with standard gearing. Sounds very very good. If you want tohe article, PM me with your e-mail address. Perhaps we can host it somewhere Michael??

Oh, fast zur gleichen Zeit die gleichen Bilder. Ich lass meine aber mal drin, die sind etwas besser zu erkennen.

Nochmals Thanks to Nigel, he send me the scans!

[Nigel]

I think these will be better.

Ich muss glaub bald doch noch Englisch lernen

Ich wills dir kurz zusammenfassen: Es ist das geilste Moped, was der Tester jeh gefahren hat. 3 Sekunden/Runde schneller als mit seiner eigenen Blade. Bremsen vom feinsten, er kann 20-30 Meter später bremsen. Sie geht besser, als eine getunte R1.

Er ist begeistert...

Good stuff ... thanks Nigel! I am still skeptical with regard to the engine power. I remember the first tests of the pre-production ZX-10R 2004 with overwhelming power! Later on it turned out that the standard machines were at least 10bhp down compared to pre-production.

We will see in December ...

[Nigel]

Yes I remember. I hope it is not so. If it is 5 hp more that the Gix it will be fine.
