"News @ Oakland Suzuki"
Dave Stanton Suzuki has joined with Riders Shop and will be selling custom bikes off the showroom floor. The first bike is debuting right now and it is an awesome GSXR1300 Hayabusa which they can't keep in stock, even stock. Look out for more from this dealership as the craving for high-end custom "streetfighters" continues to grow. Details at www.OaklandSuzuki.com.


MotoReview
"Auchtung Baby!"
With a much delayed introduction and lots of notable industry hype, the BMW K1200S is purported to be BMW's first Superbike. Trying to change their staid image and enter the Hyper-Performance cycle territory (occupied by such legendary bikes as the Hayabusa and Honda CBRXXX), BMW has put out a bike that is sure to get everyones attention! Check out Henrick's review of the K1200S on page 8 of Issue # 9.
