Our Harley, bobbers, poppers friends, or whatever they call their bikes has been bragging about how fast and powerful their bikes are, they also subtitled parts of movies in an effort to hide their failure against the Beemers and the DUCs.
For a while they won the media war on FB, so i deiced to shoot a little video that shows who is really wining these traffic light drag races, i raced them with my 1000cc Ducati Sport Classic and i didn’t even unleash all the horses…they are running 1750cc stroker engines.
The Sting Of The BumbleBee is also available in HD, enjoy.

This may sound a repetition of the previous post.
SWA -Supertest World Association- is an organization that runs the world biggest track test with motorcycle journalists from all around the world to compare the latest bikes in the market.
This year test took place in Greece, with the absence of Ducati, KTM and Bimota, the final ranking -based on lap times, dyno power and torque measurements, comfort, price/performance ratio- was as follows:
1-BMW S1000RR (with distinction)
2-APRILIA RSV4
3-MV AGUSTA F4 1000
4-KAWASAKI ZX-10R
5-SUZUKI GSX-R 1000
6-YAMAHA YZF R1
7-HONDA CBR1000RR
Best of 2010
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.

One night stand
let me rephrase that “One season stand”, BMW has officially confirmed the divorce between them and Davide Tardozzi’s due to “different ideas with the rest of the team on the structure of the team” !!
Do you think Ducati will take him back?
Please DO try this at home

If you think you can.
From the GSX-R to the RR
Leon Haslam has been officially released from his contract with Alstare Suzuki due to financial problems facing the team.
Deep pocketed BMW seized the opportunity, and Haslem will be taking Ruben Xaus place riding alongside Troy Corser in the BMW Motorrad team for the 2011 season.
I believe this a great move by BMW, as they need a young rider with great stamina and determination like Haslem next to Corser their experienced rider.
