Big night at the Canadian Motorcycle Hall of Fame. Big show at Toronto’s Queen E building: Moto Craft. Featuring the world’s top builders and some outrageous outrageousness. Also, Bertrand Gahel rides Suzuki’s newest GSX, the 8R, and finds it suitable for anything. It doesn’t fly, but it doesn’t need to. And he finds his ultimate limits on a Ducati Streetfighter V4 S. Yowww. Elsewhere, Zac K asks: Where are all the electric motorcycles hiding? Zabel takes a ride most of us would consider worth a year of our lives: South Africa on a motorcycle. It just doesn’t get better.
On the cover: Suzuki’s GSX-8R tries to keep up with Bertrand Gahel on track at the Chuckwalla Valley Raceway. The sporting qualities of the bike leave a good impression.
