It’s not a secret anymore that Ducati will be unveiling their new 1199 superbike in November, spy photos and concept designs are all over the net but how genuine are these photos is something that we’ll never know before November.

Return of the minimalist legend

I love it when a manufacturer  goes back to the old blue prints and bring to life an old great bike, the Vespa PX was born back in 1977, it was the best selling bike at Vespa and now after 34 years the PX is back with the same retro styling, a 2 stroke engine with automatic mixer that meets the strictest Euro 3 standards, a side spare wheel, a kick starter, glove compartment a four-speed gearbox that utilizes the left handle bar grip to shift between gears which should make it much more fun to ride than the automatic ones.

I should start finding a space for this one.

Turbo channel is one of my favorite YouTube channels, although its not very active but i keep going back to watch some of the timeless videos they have.

A couple of years back i posted 3 videos form the channel on the history of  Ducati, if you have a couple of hours to spare this weekend then why not visit the channel and edutain yourself  with some motorcycle history…the Twist The Throttle series is also available on DVD if you wish to watch it in HD.

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.

The New Green

I have been asked many times about the new Kawasaki ZX10-R, but all i could say was that Kawasaki USED to “Let the good times roll”….especially that they issued a technical recall on the ZX10-R a month after it the launch.

I did not get an invitation to the launch at Lossil in Qatar last Nov, so i haven’t ridden the green yet, and i can only quote whatever is circulating around the net and what the journalists that rode it has to say.

MCN did a group test last week between the ZX-10R, S1000RR, Honda Fireblade, Yamaha R1 and Suzuki GSX-R1000, and the above video should summarize it.

It can wheelie

Jap Art

Again Kawasaki keeps the good bikes for the Japan market and send us only the lousy ones, the ZRX1200 comes with 2 new color schemes this year..a Dark green with light green band, and a dark brown with light brown band.

Powering this classic a 4-stroke liquid-cooled, DOHC four-cylinder engine, with a total displacement of 1.164cc that pump 110HP at 8,000 rpm, and a 107Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm, the bike weighs 246kg.

I would love to get my ass -or what’s left of it- on one of those for a Friday morning blast, but unfortunately this bike wont be going anywhere outside the Japanese market.

2011 Norge GT

I’am not a fan of big touring bikes, but the sound and feel of any v-twin bike has a certain feel that can’t be replaced, you have to ride one to be able to understand how addictive it is….thats why i have a fetish for v-twin bikes.

The 2011 Norge GT its engine and exhaust system updated to the more powerful 8 valve (4 valves per cylinder) and now the 8V 1200 is pumps up 102 bhp, with 104 Nm (77 lb-ft) torque at 5500 rpm. For better cornering and stability when the bike is fully loaded with the touring gear, the suspension was also upgraded with new front forks and a new rear shock absorber.

The bike also got a new power-adjusted windscreen, new improved air flow fairings for engine cooling, anti-slip seat with a “body forming” foam, vibration-dampened footrests.
