A sweet start
The start of the 09 World Super Bike season was full of surprises, BMW Motorrad Motorsport team scored the fastest lap in race one at Phillip Island with their new bike the S 1000 RR.
BMW may have a long history in racing but they are rookies when to comes to the Superbike World Championship, and they will be facing tough competition from the manufacturers that has been racing the WSBK since 1988.

Pop Art
I just found out that one of my colleagues is a Pop Art artist…i was showing him some photos of a ride with friends when he said that he wants to show me something and asked me to email him a couple photos.
The next day he came with the above, its all done digitally using his Mac and not using any filters or ready made effects of course, the nice thing is that you can print it on any material of any size.
He is working on a local collection which i will post once its ready.

Buell 1125 -nickname BS-
I was in Shuwaikh today with a friend buying some stuff, we finished early so we decided to pass by the Harley Davidson showroom, i was surprised to see they had the new Buell 1125 which i hated just by seeing its photos over the internet, but after seeing the real thing i decided not to judge anything before seeing it in person…

Making a special bike more special is not an easy task, but someone gave it a go ; the result is a charming MHR1000s, a modern replica of Mike Hailwood bike.
Prices of the 2009 K series
BMW Motorrad has released the prices of the 2009 K series, the bikes should be available at BMW dealers starting February 2009, 14,700 Euro for the K1300R , 17,050 Euro for the K1300S, and 18,650 Euro for the K1300GT.
Usually the local prices are close to the European ones, and with the falling exchange rate of the Eruo the prices will be really competitive.
I so much want one
Kawasaki takes us back to the seventies with its new 2009 Kawasaki ZXR 1200 , the bike reminds me of the good old days when these bikes were owned only by well-built men, as they were the only ones that could handle such a heavy bike.
I guess its time for me to live the seventies again, but the bike is being served solely for the Japanese market for the time being.
When It Rains, It Pours
I guess we are gona be seeing quit a few of the RC8 in the streets, the bike is getting great reviews and it seams the guys in Kuwait are up to date.
The white stallion you see above was air shipped just to be here before the Eid holiday, go take a look before the lucky owner takes it home, oh and i heard that an R virgin is on the way.
