200 new bikes ridden & rated

This week’s MCN, out March 26, comes with a free a 32-page supplement brimming with every new bike for 2003, an eight-page British Superbikes preview, and your chance to win a brand new Ducati 749.

No matter what kind of bike gets you going, we’ve got it in our Ridden & Rated pull-out. All the bikes have received MCN’s exclusive rating and opinion from our crack team of road testers. And with decades of experience behind them these opinions can be trusted.

The eight-page BSB preview covers all the latest developments on the bikes and how the riders are preparing for the first round at Silverstone on Sunday, March 30.

Reigning champion Steve Hislop raves about how good his new R1 is, while John Reynolds says Suzuki has had its development year and now has eyes its on the championship.

We take a look at the top four Ducati teams and compare the two factory bikes of Monstermob and Renegade with the 998s bikes fielded by ETI and D&B.

You also get to meet the Castrol Honda team, the former World Superbike squad now backing Steve Plater. They have come over to BSB en masse with Edwards’ SP2s and the knowledge gained from three WSB title wins.

And MCN has teamed up with the European Superbike School to offer you the chance to win a Ducati 749, worth nearly £9000. Runners up will get a set of Pirelli Diablo tyres, worth £293, or one of 50 £100 European Superbike School vouchers.
