Related to the last prompt of the survey, "I only come here for the babes," why do you guys post "babe" shots at all? Those who want online-skin will find a lot more elsewhere, and those of us who are a touch more modest think that Katja in full leathers on a bike is more attractive than a silicone-implanted android in a swimsuit.



Just a thought,

Katja is the best, you'd know if you ever watched _the races_ instead of the people standing around.

Is that the best you can do? It's so...third grade.

The best, fastest, and sexiest bike ever was a CX500. It could take an R1 any day of the week.

Actually, I find that a lot of the British magazines are even more sportbike-oriented than MO (except for last year, where MO really focused on sportbikes. This year is better). Bike, Biker, and Performance Rider are pretty much supersport and superbike cover-to-cover.



I do agree that MO needs to stay out of the trap of being SoCal sportbike oriented. I personally don't care whether an R6 or GSXR600 will stay more settled in turn 6 of Willow Springs. I live in the mountains of Colorado and standards and dual-sports are what are most practical--and most fun--for where I ride (though my current bike is an absolutely bulletproof Honda Shadow 600).



Dirt content is good, but make sure that you get plenty of trailies and dual-sports instead of just MX. Just like I'd rather read sportbike reviews on the street than on the track.

Katja Poensgen IS a fine woman. She's a 25-year-old German. And a d*mn fast racer, too. Read MO's interview with her at

She raced a GSXR-750 last year. This year she is on an Aprilia RS250:
