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 .

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

The Superquadro
http://youtu.be/H7SKvsW_0qo
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 :
Goodbye Steve
U’ll be missed, and your innovations’ will live on.
