RR still the best

According to MCN the RR is the fastest and the best on and off the track, but i still think the RSV4 is the most beautiful bike.

Nothing Special !!

I have been browsing the net the past 2 days, reading all posts and news coverage of EICMA, i was also following Facebook posts by a couple of friends who are attending the exhibition but unfortunately -apart from the EICMA girls – this year exhibition had nothing special.

It’s more of a scooter exhibition than a motorcycle exhibition, most of the bikes at EICMA were either a different color version of last year models or just face lifted 2010 motorcycles.

Most of the manufacturers had a couple of scooters on display, but the chatter was mostly on BMW scooters the C 600 Sport and the C 650 GT plus concept C and concept E. Aprilia also introduced 2 new scooters, the SRV 850 and the SR Motard which comes in either 2-stroke 50cc or a 4-stroke 125cc. but the most radical designs came from Vespa.

There must be good reason for BMW to go back to the scooter market, is it the gas prices, is it the bad city traffic, or its just a trend that’s becoming a cult ?

Note: the video above is from last year as i couldn’t find any good ones of this year.

I’ve Got the Power !

This is a video we shot last year, we had a demo Aprilla RSV4 Factory, a demo BMW S1000rr and a fully moded BMW E60 M5.
We were experimenting with the RR trying to find out what can it do, so we asked our friend on the RR to stop and only start accelerating when we – me on the RSV4 and my friend in the M5- pass by him at a speed of 100kmh.
Now the thing that we did not know that the RSV4 was on the “R” mood which stands for Road and only pumps out 140hp while the “R” mood on the RR is the race mode that unleashes all the 180 horses.
Enjoy

2011 World SBK kicks-off at Phillip Island

Tonight at 4am -Kuwait local time- the first round  of the 2011 world super bike championship kicks-off at Phillip Island.

Carlos Checa set the quickest lap ever recorded around Phillip Island on his Althea Racing Ducati 1098R -1 minute 30.882 seconds-, thus grabbing the first Superpole trophy of the year, Biaggi came second on the Apprila, and Haslam forth on the S1000 RR.

I believe its gonna be an intense race, with the three aggressive boys at the poles.

2011 Aprilia RSV4R

Leaks on the 2011 Aprilia RSV4R are still pouring in, i posted a couple of month back about the new features of the 2011 RSV4R, and now it seams that the RSV4R will be coming with a bunch of new features that were only available on the RSV4R Factory, like the APRC system, quick shift, launch control, wheelie and traction control.

Other changes include a slimmer exhaust, gold forks, shorter gearing and lighter wheels. The APRC-equipped RSV4 R should be retaliating around KD4750 which makes it a smarter option compared to any of the Japanese bikes in the market.

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.

The Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC Special Edition is serious track bike it applies Aprilia’s track technology and experience to Aprilia’s supersports road bikes, the new RSV4 APRC -Aprilia Performance Ride Control- special edition comes with adjustable traction control -8 settings- , wheelie control -3 settings-, launch control -3 settings-, quick shifter and an ECU derived from Aprilia’s SBK bike.

This bike is almost a clone Max Biaggi‘s bike, i believe it is the most beautiful bike currently in market -not locally- . Read more

Ducati dominates Imola

But Aprilia claims the championship….what an exciting race it was, in race one Ducati claimed the entire podium and in race two Ducati claimed the 1st and 2ed positions.

Checa on the Ducati and Sykes on the Kawasaki gave us a great show, i have never seen a Kawasaki performing that good before….on the other hand Biaggi did not do much in this race as if he was certain of the championship…and a mistake from Haslam gifted the championship to Aprilia.

The final round will take place in France on Oct 3ed. and it will only rearrange the manufacturer standings a bit.
