Date Reviewed: January 9, 1999
Bottom Line:

the mach one is a great bike and should be the number 1 gt of all times. if u r looking to race this is a great bike to use. Chris turner has no idea what he is talkin about and should probably not review bikes ever again. the mach one has great components and handling. If you throw a three piece crank on there you will be ready to race and win.

Bottom Line:

I've been a racer for over 7 years now and the mach 1 plainly sucks from my perspective. Its suppose to go fast!!! The Robinson sst is a real winner its got speed and quality to top any gt. You want a fast bike? Pick the Robinson sst and you'll be burning down the track in no time
