This document summarizes the evolution and growth of the msportbike website and magazine over the past 4 years. It started as a site for Malaysian Super Series racers but now has nearly 4,000 members from diverse motorcycle enthusiast communities. The second issue of the msportbike magazine has undergone improvements like a new size and paper quality. It features additional sections on MotoGP and road tests of the BMW HP2 and Aprilia Pegaso Strada, as well as content on women riders and motorcycle fashion. The editor hopes readers both old and new will enjoy this expanded issue.

Lets bike down memory lane a little. Four years ago, msportbike was conceived as a website for sportridersfromtheMalaysianSuperSeries(MSS) to congregate and discuss the development of the sport. Even the Ducati Club of Malaysia got housed in there once the website was launched. But it is a completely different scenario now.The membership for the website should be coming to 4000 any day now and the majority is not even MSS racers or Ducati owners. Who are our readers? Well, they come from all walks of life, including long-distance travelers, rugged off-roaders, commuters and speed junkies.All share a common ground:a passion or rather an addiction for all that is two wheels. Andasmsportbiketriestoestablishafoothold in the magazine industry with our second issue just hot off the press, we hope it will resonate with motorcyclists from the past, present and future and even appeal to those living overseas. Taking the bull by the horns, we are committed to take on the extra workload and have listened to your calls for improvements in the magazine. So,the second issue has undergone a serious facelift with a well-thought out change of size and paper quality. The motorcycling lifestyle has been given a little more prominence with a touch of glam. And if you enjoyed the first issue, you might appreciate the additional sections dedicated to the MotoGP with an exclusive interview with the rider of the moment, Casey Stoner. There is a BMW HP2 road test, which must be read with our Aprilia Pegaso Strada road test. Yes, the Aprilia Pegaso is not a new bike but we just know that you would appreciate some insight on its practicality as a commuter. Women and bikes are not left out as well.Erra Fazira talks to us about her long affair with bikes and we have the hot Christiane Fischer modeling some exquisitely sexy summer wear found in shops you would not think to look in.Who needs malls when you can shop at a bike dealer near you? So as we divulge more of our findings on affordability, beauty, quality and excellence (!), we hope you enjoy the ride. Ride safe,always.
