S1000RR Photos
The bike looks really narrow, i like the new colors, hate the exhaust, developing a taste for the front fairing, and love the clutch by wire.
Sharing is caring
Michel Fabrizio (Ducati Xerox) and Ben Spies (Yamaha World Superbike) shared the wins at one of the most exciting Superbike rounds in Monza today.
Fabrizio won race 1 after Spies ran out of fuel meters from the finish line…in race 2 Spies dominated from start to finish and after a few laps cruised alone to the checker flag.
Noriyuki Haga (Ducati Xerox) crashed in race 2 after being hit by a bird, BMW Ruben Xaus finished in ninth place.
I want some of that
It’s not easy being a super model

Its powerfull..very powerful, yet the power delivery is smooth and precise… size and looks are deceiving, and may lure you away from this bike thinking you may not enjoy riding such a big bike….but the K1300R goes way beyond its looks, it handles like a 600cc, has the power of 1300cc, and stops like noting i have ever ridden!!!
The onboard computer on K1300R offers a lot of useful info about the bike and its components like tire pressure, ABS and ASC status..etc.. if you can memorize all the symbols and the way they flash.. fast flash, slow flash, no flash, lights-up red, lights-up yellow..etc.
Automatic Stability Control is a new feature that i did not have the guts to try yet..it intervenes and reduce the torque applied to the rear wheel once it detects a degree of instability like a sliding rare wheel….don’t worry about the bike skidding just squeeze that throttle at that curve and let the ASC take care of it.
Shift assist is yet another kick ass feature…forget all about the clutch and shift up clutchless at any speed, its like a Tiptronic gear box…the thing is so damn quick and seamless…and oh and that backfire pop sound coming from the exhaust evrey time you shift up gives you the feeling of a turbo charged engine…its like POP POP with every gear shift…just grasp that handle bar, twist the throttle, hold on to dear life and let it POP.
The K1300R is a powerful razor sharp bike, but can be as mellow as a BMW 7 series when you want it to be.
POP POP.

The Spanish MotoGP round was very exciting as expected…it was a furious battle between Pedrosa, Rossi, Stoner and Lorenzo, but despite the home field advantage Pedrosa had, Rossi took his first win of the season beating Pedrosa on his home land.
Pedrosa started strong with his trademark “Strong Start” and led the race for the first 17 rounds, but Rossi took the lead after that and never looked back.
The race also marked the first podium for Stoner at the Spanish track.

…and the feeling’s right
Trying to be a bit feminist and show my support to the other sex, i participated yesterday in the “Just Ride” event organized by TriStar.. the ride was the first and only in the middle east.
It was a cool nice ride and i got to meetrace some female riders that really know how to ride ..never thought we had any in Kuwait !!
Gathered at TriStar, rode to Doha, then back to Applebee’s for diner curtsy of TriStar.
I also got to meet BuYousf… he had his camera on him and took some nice shots.
