    Sastre Kawasaki Twin

    Sastre Kawasaki Twin

    This stock frame Kawasaki ER-6n, just showed up on instagram. It was built by Pep Sastre, one of the top technicians at Kawasaki Spain, for, we hope, his son Ferran to race. I say hope, because Ferran is an absolute demon racer. He competed in the DTRA for the last couple of years, coming close to winning the title in 2019, and has also raced as an amateur in America, where he won big races. The bike was hashtagged as a hooligan, but as a 650 Twin it's too small for most hool

This is what he told us... Kind of a crazy deal, and sometimes I still don't believe it. I won this bike in a raffle that Davis Fisher did to raise some money.  Last summer Davis announced on his Instagram that he was going to sell raffle tickets for his Kawasaki 700 Twin AFT racer. Tickets were $50 and h

    And It Blew My Mind

    It's hard not to be overwhelmed by the amount of 'content' swilling around the motorcycle universe. A friend sent me a link to a video that was 12 minutes long the other day. I looked at the still screengrab, the running time and decided I'm never going to watch it. 12 minutes! Perhaps it's because Icon have advertised in Sideburn since the very early days of the magazine. Perhaps it's because I really like Amanda who writes the unerringly sassy and perfectly pitched press re
