John Hopkins is more on top of his game right now than he has ever been. Currently leading the MCE Insurance British Superbike Series on his Samsung Crescent Racing Suzuki, John is well capable of winning the championship. Earlier this season, Hopper had an opportunity to race three different championships in three consecutive weekends. Here’s how it went down. Thanks to Andrew Wheeler for the beautiful GP imagery.

Tom Sykes: Eye on the Prize

dwilliams — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 17:07:04 +0000

Kawasaki makes great motorcycles, but the ZX-10 is not one of them. It’s a pile. Tom Sykes knows that, but he hasn’t given up. Tho the design has aged out, Sykes is a fine example of working as hard as you can with what you’ve got, all the while knowing better days are ahead. Next year he’ll have a brand new weapon between his legs.
Now, before you ZX-10 owners have a conniption fit, we realize the bike won several magazine shoot outs, etc etc. Apparently it had some street creds. But the thing is an utter abomination when pushing the envelope… or even looking at the envelope. Szoke, who rode it in Canada, is a second quicker on the CBR1000RR this year using the same tires at the same tracks.
I’m just sayin’…

Keith Code on Leon Camier

Sun, 20 Jun 2010 22:10:09 +0000

Leon Camier is a long time student of Keith Code and his California Superbike School, but we’ve got a feeling it was more than the “no brake drill” that helped Leon land his Aprilia RSV4 on the box at the Miller Motorsports Park round of the HANNspree World Superbike Championship. Our thanks to SportbikeWrench.com for making our WSBK coverage possible.
