Tre Pis Toni
The is the first teaser of the new MV Agusta Brutale 675, the 3 cylinders naked has new exhaust with 3 outlets !
This light weight naked might carry the name “Trepistoni” which means 3 pistons, the reveal will be at Eicma after 10 days.
Respect Attitude
The above video is for the K1200R it goes back to 2006 and its full of attitude, where as the below is for the S1000RR and its a fresh brew missing all the attitude !
BMW please give the RR ads some Attitude to gain some Respect.
The 2012 GSX-R 1000
The new Gixer now comes with a 4-2-1 exhaust system, 11% lighter pistons, Brembo Monobloc brakes, modified suspension compression and a brand new instrument panel. The bike wight is also 2kg less, but its still missing traction control.
Sad day
I was watching the Malaysian round of the MotoGP from the office today and on the 3rd lap Simoncelli slides but somehow manages a save which almost brought the bike up again and unfortunately across the track and into the path of riders Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi.
Both Edwards and Rossi crashed into Simoncelli at the same time, Simoncelli was rushed to the medical center but he succumbed to his injuries at 11:56am local time.
Marco was a great racer we all enjoyed watching him race, he was the spice of the MotoGP.
Ciao super SEC .

A little bit of Multistrada
2012 S1000RR
This may come as surprise and maybe a dissapointment for those who just bought the S1000RR, almost two years after its launch the BMW S1000RR gets a revision.
The main objective of the revision was to enhance the riding precision and agility of the bike by giving it a punchier power buildup, and a much more sensitive response…these enhancements were based on feedback BMW got from super stock racers.
The bike got a lot of other enhancements but if it’s any consolation, no changes to the power and its still producing 193 hp but with a bit more precision. Read more

Caption that !
The lady in the Mini decided to clean her car at the parking lot in-front of the laundry, but she did not notice that her garbage is gona follow her around – at least for a while- .
The Superquadro
Meet Superquadro, the most powerful twin-cylinder production engine on the planet !
Ducati has yet again set a new absolute production twin-cylinder milestone of 195hp @ 10,750rpm and 98.1 lb-ft (13.5kgm) @ 9,000rpm, the power delivery is customizable with several Riding Modes that deliver the power appropriate to your riding style .
The engine might have the same looks of the 1098 and the Desmo driven valves, but it houses a completely different technology…so S1000RR here comes البنغالي .
I’ll leave you with Ducati technical words on the Superquadro :
