Hello and welcome to E141 of that Front End Chatter they have nowadays, spoken with words by Martin Fitz-Gibbons and Simon Hargreaves and supported, enabled and legitimised by our fwends at Bennetts, the bike insurance specialists (and yes, they will insure a Tuono!), and Bike Social, the bike club that gives you access to discounts, track days, events and competitions – as well as running the most up-to-date and informative biking website and YouTube channel, at www.bikesocial.co.uk

And on this episode we have: 
• how Suzuki's Hayabusa is still the go-to bike for old-school performance
• how Suzuki's revamped 2021 GSX-S1000 is much, much better than the previous version
• why WSB might be worth watching
• how Norton are still getting it wrong
• does Harley-Davidson's history of 'breakout' models bode ill for the Pan America?
• are UK bikers more conformist these days?
• do riders from different countries ride differently?

All this and much much more!
