SMALL MANUFACTURERS

I loved MSL from the start for its early reviews of new bikes, individual slants on current motorcycle issues, MotoGP and how ‘biking is changing – but – I’m getting bored with pages of Do-you-cat-ehs, Tri-um-phants and Bum-double yous!

Please can you include more bikes from the minor manufacturers. I have had Suzukis for about 11 years, but recently purchased an Aprilia Shiver. The bike’s doing really well and the rider is getting there, too! But what fun, what a challenge and what a smile when it all clicks!

I tried Triumph, BMW, Yamaha and Honda as well, but this is something else to ride – you should try it!

So Ed, please include some of the lesser bikes around, if only to space out the ‘regulars’ who inevitably will produce more new variants.
