The CBR 1000RR and ZX-10R stories are the first "Track" oriented stories we've published since October's Funky Twins Comparo.
I suppose all of the Paul Garson stories and other general interest items we've posted since that shootout were also just slightly off of your "ideal" content path.
If this stuff has in any way offended you or caused you to lose sleep fretting about the possibility of the rest of the motorcycling universe encroaching on your chosen motorcycling genre, get over it.
