TORQUING POINT: Single-Sided Rear Swingarms

An unravelling from Alan Dowds… Ever seen a red squirrel? Unless you live in the right part of Scotland, it’s unlikely; the ginger rodents have been outcompeted by their dull sciuridaen relatives from North America, the eastern grey squirrel.

Posted
by

John McAvoy has put almost 300 miles on the ZX-6R in less than a month. Is he happy? When I spent a few days on the ZX-6R a few issues ago, I was so taken by it that I dropped Kawasaki UK a line and asked if I could keep it on long-term loan. To…
