Trackstar makes it to No 1 spot In MCN What Bike Top Ten!

We are delighted to find our Trackstar has made it to the No 1 spot in the What Bike small bike and commuter top ten!

The Trackstar fought off competition from AJS, Daelim, Honda, Suzuki, CPI to name a few with What Bike declaring

“at £1549 new, it’s simply unparalleled. If sales take off Sinnis may just redefine our perception of Chinese-made bikes”

What Bike also comment on the fabulous value, cute looks and retro charm…   So we couldn’t have said it better ourselves!   Read the article yourself by simply jumping onto our Media page:

Goodwood to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia all on my amazing Apache 125!!

It’s difficult where to begin after such an epic trip aboard my Sinnis Apache 125…

10,700 miles in under 4 weeks crossing 15 countries and many time zones to enter Ulaanbataar on the 25th August becoming the 1st 125cc motorcycle to cross the finish line…  It’s all a bit surreal…

Riding for 12 – 14 hrs a day wasn’t easy but then I guess it’s not supposed to be easy but the sights and people I came across simply overwhelmed me and it was a trip I shall never forget…  Some highlights:

  • Riding from dusk until dawn for 14 days straight
  • Riding a camel
  • Falling over the handlebars – ouch
  • Having dinner and staying with The Kuwait Royal Family
  • Falling into river and after a squeeze of the air filter my Apache lived again (amazing!)
  • Riding at 10,000ft for several days
  • The beauty of the Altai mountains in Russia
  • Swimming naked
  • Eating Goat
  • Meeting similar people from all over the world!
  • Flying Mongolian Airlines and surviving (actually it was a great service!)
  • Getting ripped off several times in Russia
  • Sitting in Traffic at over 36 degree in all my gear for hours
  • Bribed $2000 at the Russia border (I didn’t pay!)
  • Camping overnight at the Mongolian border
  • Riding 8000 miles on standard Kingstone tyres!!
  • Getting abuse from angry drunk Mongolian men in UB
  • Eating a sausage on a stick!
  • Crossing 10 rivers (well 9 actually as a man did the 1st one!)
  • having pocketfuls of currency I rarely understood!
  • Doing sign language to represent a cow or a pig as I couldn’t read menus…
  • Staying in the worst hotels in existence
  • Pithing a tent in a sandstorm
  • coughing up week old smog and dusk
  • Being almost knocked off my bike my a crazy Russian truck driver
  • Running out of fuel on the German Autobahn at night

Plus a million other things!  Photos are coming but in the meantime please visit www.facebook.com/anthonysadventure
