Kawasaki Ninja Mantra – Video
Kawasaki Ninja Mantra is a promotional video that explains the principles underpinning sport motorcycles Kawasaki range.
The Kawasaki are pretty savvy when it comes to advertising. Or, well, pretty clever way to choose an advertising agency to make good movies. For example, advertisements for ZX-6R 2013 and reached the final in 2013 Z800 a very important advertising festival. Not to lose the training, Kawasaki strikes again with a clip of one of the most famous names in motorcycling sports: Ninja.
2014 Ducati 899 Panigale – Video
For some of its recent history, Ducati has offered slightly-smaller-displacement versions of its flagship superbike. And given how successful the product strategy has been around the past, it will come as no real surprise that the 1199 Panigale will spawn a fresh understudy. Actually, it too will undoubtedly be called the Panigale.
But don’t assume that the 2014 899 Panigale is some overgrown moped in fancy dress outfits and wearing a respected nameplate. No, it’s nearly just as much of a thoroughbred as its your government. Actually, Ducati calls the 899 Panigale a “supermid” ( a variety of superbike and mid-size).
The 899 Panigale certainly appears like a superbike. The sinister dual headlights on the nose and the large expanses of bodywork look like almost directly copied from the more muscular Panigale. The aluminum monocoque chassis – to which theL-twin engine is bolted right to increase stiffness and reduce weight – can be located in the 1199’s design. The trunk swingarm, however, deviates from that of the senior Panigale: The brand new bike runs on the two-sided piece, as opposed to the 1199’s one-sided swingarm. Front suspension is really a 43mm Showa fork, as the rear features an adjustable Sachs monoshock. It’s all first-class, literbike-worthy stuff.
And despite the fact that it’s much less potent because the big Panigale, the 899 still packs an almighty wallop. The 898cc L-twin belongs to Ducati’s way-oversquare (i. e. the bore is longer compared to the stroke) Superquadro family, which is rated at 148 horsepower and 73 lb. -ft of torque. Power is delivered to the rear wheel by way of a multi-plate wet clutch, 6-speed transmission with the Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) system, and chain drive. That rear wheel, incidentally, is really a 10-spoke 17”x5. 5” alloy wearing a 180/60 ZR17 Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa tire. Leading wheel is really a similar 17”x3. 5” unit wrapped in a 120/70 ZR17 Pirelli. Braking is via dual discs in the front and an individual disc in the trunk, and ABS is standard (as are other electronic aids like traction control and an adjustable ride-by-wire throttle).
Ducati isn’t discussing performance figures at this time, but taking into consideration the 899 Panigale weighs just 426 lbs. filled with fluids, it’s probably with the capacity of reaching irresponsible velocities promptly. Ducati is dishing on pricing, however: The original red-with-black-wheels color scheme begins at $14, 995, as the striking white-with-red-wheels scheme begins at $15, 295. Expect U. S. deliveries of the un-underachiever to begin with by the finish of the following month.
Which is faster? An Ariel Atom V8 track day toy, BMW HP4 superbike or a rallycross Citroen DS3 with 600bhp?

Here we have three completely different ways of going extremely quickly in a straight line. Time for a drag race then. So what are the contenders? There's the one-wheel drive BMW HP4 superbike, which arguably requires the most skill to extract speed from but has a ludicrous 757bhp/tonne power-to-weight ratio. Then there's the two-wheel drive Ariel Atom V8 with 748bhp/tonne and the Citroen DS3 Rallycross car with only 577bhp/tonne but all-important four-wheel drive. Oh, and did we mention it's wet?

Obviously, Bmw Motorrad took the wraps off a totally new bike today at the Eicma show, the Bmw S1000r. A streetfighter form of the revered Bmw S1000rr superbike, the S1000r drops a “R” from its name on top of around 30hp, with the exposed cycle wearing a 160hp crest figure — basically because of a redline that is 2,000 rpm less than the S1000rr.
Assemble the 999cc inline-four engine for low-end and mid-range torque, rather the greatest top pull, Bmw says that the S1000r makes 7 lbs•ft more torque than the S1000rr, the distance up to 7,500 rpm.
With a crest torque figure of 83 lbs•ft at 9,250 rpm, the Bmw S1000r is presently slump, however with it tipping the scales at 456 lbs (207kg) — the 2014 Bmw S1000r is not many pounds heavier than its antecedent.
Bmw Motorrad has verified that the S1000r comes full stacked, with the new model emphasizing a race Abs, programmed steadiness control (Asc), and double riding modes (Road & Rain), with dynamic traction control (Dtc) as an extra characteristic.
This recent focus could be an impairment to Bmw Motorrad, acknowledging that traction control is quickly turning into a standard emphasize in the two-wheeled planet, and an unquestionable requirement have in the game exposed fragment.
Likewise accessible as a choice is Bmw dynamic damping control (Ddc), which is favor wording for a semi-animated suspension framework. Appearing for Bmw Motorrad on the Bmw Hp4, the Bmw S1000r is the first cruiser in its fragment to offer the new suspension innovation.
The 2014 Bmw S1000r is accessible in non-metallic Racing Red, metallic Frozen Dark Blue, and non-metallic Light White attires, and will be accessible in March/april 2014.
Suzuki MotoGP 2013 In Action – Video
Suzuki has released the first official movie MotoGP prototype.
Suzuki will be back testing in 2014, with Randy de Puniet now solely committed to test-riding the machine for the Japanese OEM.
High on the team’s list is getting its race program to work on only 20 liters of fuel, as well as switching from Suzuki’s current Mitsubishi-designed ECU to the spec-ECU supplied by Dorna and built by Magneti Marelli. Neither task is an easy one as Suzuki gears up for its 2015 return to Grand Prix motorcycle racing.
