Greece Lightning

Here at Fast Bikes, we’re always on lookout for cool things to do on two wheels. So how does three days of spanking 600s around the only licensed track in Greece alongside star instructors sound for some time away? Pretty damn good in our books…

Almost immediately afterwards we were zoomed off back to Italy though, because the EICMA show was on and Ducati had a bunch of special kit to show off.
