183bhp at the wheel !!!

December 9, 2009 by Adrenaline · 7 Comments

“MCN uncovered a secret dyno test result sheet of a pre-production S1000RR in April which made 182bhp at the tyre, and 200bhp at the crank.

At the time there was internal concern at BMW over releasing a 200bhp claimed figure – top brass were concerned over sparking political controversy by releasing a 200bhp road bike.

The new figure proves that BMW has understated the true power of the engine.

The 183bhp, EEC-corrected figure is a full 13bhp more than a Kawasaki ZX-10R MCN has tested on the same dynamometer – and Kawasaki press bikes are notorious for making more power than customer bikes.

The current class-leading Yamaha YZF-R1 makes 155bhp – 28bhp less!”

I went to Al Corniche Club today to visit the TriStar guys and to test ride some of the bikes they had, the weather was nice and the event was well organized, a lot of bikers showed up..it was like a bikers’ gathering…some female bikers were also there.

We have ridden almost all the bikes they had there, then ended up riding each other bikes….it was a like a bike orgy.

Miss Lebanon Emigrant of Kuwait happened to be there and was in her Halloween costume which matched the colors of my bike. Read more

Use your head

“Use your head ” is the latest guerrilla marketing campaign from Ducati, a group of umbrella girls hit the streets of Milan coming into direct contact with bikers to promote safe riding, talk about safety and the responsible use of motorcycles.

I wonder what would happen if the traffic department here runs a similar campaign?

“JUST RIDE”

International Female Ride Day is a synchronized worldwide event where women motorcycle riders demonstrates their enjoyment and passion for motorcycle riding.

Introduced back in 2007 with the aim of highlighting the number of women riders, build female rider awareness, and encourage other women to take up the activity.

The FEMALE RIDE DAY started as a National event in Canada with the intention to go globally, the success it made in 2007 made it easy to make it an International event!

Kuwait BMW Motorcycle Club is organizing the same event locally on Friday 2 May 1st 2008, check their website for more info.
