We're a couple of final conformations away - hopefully by the end of next week - from revealing the long term testbikes we'll be running in 2010, which were instrumental in our setting this blog up.

If you think our normal roadtests are in-depth, they'll pale into insignificance compared to these two, although our unfolding experiences will be in bite sized chunks for easier access. Both bikes are awaiting the new plate in March, and will sneak into AmV40, but then you can follow them here on an almost daily basis ... and no, you can't borrow them when the regular roadtests come in.

At least one of them will be evolving over the summer, which will just about write its own story, while the second will be a common sight on British roads throughout the season, because we're going to ride the wheels off it.
