Track aficionados might turn their noses up at doing an Advanced Rider Training course in a convention centre parking lot… and that would be their loss.

We’ve been hearing the cry for a while now, “The Koreans are coming! The Koreans are coming!” This spring, National Motorsports is leading the charge in Canada, bringing the Hyosung mark to our shores. Why all the excitement over the Comet 650, the Comet 250 and the GT650S? Industry types are looking to the Korean…

We took the time to speak with Dan Fischer about his dream, the Fischer MRX 650, an American Sportbike. The Fischer MRX has been a while in coming, but word is that the bike should be on the “horizon for this spring”. Till we see the production version, we’ll just have to let the interview…

It wasn’t a big booth, but it contained a testament to what giving up 3 years of your life to a passion and vision can do. It’s Dan Fischer’s dream: the Fischer MRX 650, “the first American Superbike” – consensus around the booth was that the Buell didn’t qualify; we didn’t go there. The bike…
