-

1“An original GSX-R750 Slingshot, exactly as it would have left the crate, right down to the fresh-from-themould Michelin A59/M59X rubber. Over on the left is the opaque screened Ducati Paso, a Suzuki GSX-R1000K3 and hard top BMW C1 scooter. Over on the other side there’s a Ducati Desmosedic­i RR, Bimota DB5, Kawasaki KR-1S, Suzuki RGV250K Honda NC30, Yamaha R1M and Honda VFR750 Intercepto­r...”

2“Turn left after the entrance turnstile and this is the sight that greets you.

It’s flanked by a Buell 1125R and a Harley VR1000; two superbikes never raced on these shores.”
