This may sound a repetition of the previous post.

SWA -Supertest World Association- is an organization that runs the world biggest track test with motorcycle journalists from all around the world to compare the latest bikes in the market.

This year test took place in Greece, with the absence of Ducati, KTM and Bimota, the final ranking -based on lap times, dyno power and torque measurements, comfort, price/performance ratio- was as follows:

1-BMW S1000RR (with distinction)
2-APRILIA RSV4
3-MV AGUSTA F4 1000
4-KAWASAKI ZX-10R
5-SUZUKI GSX-R 1000
6-YAMAHA YZF R1
7-HONDA CBR1000RR

2010 is the year of the European manufacturers’, as they were the ones with a lot of cash during the global recession and continued to feast us with new products while the Japanese went into hibernation.

Motorcycle of the Year BMW S1000RR
Best Sportbike BMW S1000RR
Best Standard Kawasaki Z1000
Best Touring BMW R1200RT
Best Sport-Tourer Ducati Multistrada
Best On/Off Road BMW F800GS
Best Off-Road Yamaha YZ450F

Finally, and in my humble opinion the most beautiful sport bike Aprilia RSV4.

Kuwait Ducati Club is organizing a track day on Oct 27 in Bahrain, so if you would like to unleash that little devil inside you don’t hesitate to contact them.

They are offering a full package including bike transportation, insurance, accommodation, meals, but unfortunately umbrella girls are optional.

The snap shot above is from Ducati website, seams they have discontinued the Sport Classic line and replaced with Diavel….so NO more classics!!!

Looking at the range Ducati, we have the Hypermotard, the Monster, the Multistrada, the Streetfighter, the Superbike and finally the Diavel…which is supposedly Ducati’s envision of a cruiser.

So HOG boys here comes the DOG boys.

Lorenzo may have won the championship today but the Dr. definitely won the race, and am sure Rossi will not stop amusing us the final 3 rounds of season.

Personally i can’t wait for the 2011 season to see Rossi competing from on top of the Ducati.

I don’t trust bikes without steering dampers, i always make sure any bike i own has one and if doesn’t come with an OEM steering damper i buy an aftermarket one before riding it.

TITAX is a Czech manufacturer of steering dampers, and their products are used in the WSBK by riders like Leon Haslam, Kuba Smrz, John Hopkins..etc.

TITAX has developed the TITAX EVO 1, a complete solution for the Ducati Monster range 696 – 1100, it guarantees improved handing, maneuvering, and high speed performance.
