Rene Maehr, KTM’s newest factory rider talks about racing just before competing in his third International Superstock Series at his favourite circuit of Monza. Rene is riding the newly launched KTM 1190 RC 8 motorcycle in its debut year of racing.
What are your goals and expectations for Monza?
Firstly, it is always fantastic to come here to Monza. The venue and all the atmosphere here is unique. Its pure racing feeling! There’s a very good reason why Monza is my favourite (...) >> read
Harley-Davidson’s latest racing success shows inspiration behind new model launch
In 1970 Harley-Davidson introduced a new 750cc, 4 speed, 90 bhp V-twin engine motorcycle specifically for flat track racing, the XR750. Little did the engineers realise that the bike they had produced would go on to become the world’s most successful flat track bike, destined to dominate championships from the early 1970’s through to the present day.
The XR750’s success was underlined again (in 2007) (...) >> read
Sometimes not only unconscious people don’t succeed doing burnouts, but those who come in a full-face helmet and complete leather protective equipment too. In this case the brake wasn’t applied strong all through the circle and what happens is for you to see below.
If I was to describe “The Uno” in three words those would be sharp, single and stylish.
It is all due to the fact that although it works like a Segway it looks like Hayabusa’s small and single-wheeled brother. It is an absolute brand new custom machine and makes an impressive entry with the sport-like riding position offered (footpegs are way behind while the seat and handlebars are what you would expect to find on your daily sportbike).
In order to keep good balance there are two side-by-side wheels with custom rims while the orange and grey color scheme elected for it won’t have it pass unnoticed at any Motorcycle Show. Its first was in Toronto.
What is the most amazing related to it is the fact that as creator it has an 18 year old, Ben J. Poss Gulak.
Following the stage of Monza planned this weekend Honda will go on with the festivities of the Italian branch at the SantaMonica Autodrom in Misano.
Everybody is invited to finally meat their favorite models in the 2008 Honda range and there will be no entry price. That wouldn’t be a problem as the Festival has the clear purpose of allowing potential customers or simply those with a soft spot for this maker to try bikes on the road (for all) or even on the track (only for (...) >> read
Yesterday, in occasion of the Barcelona Motorcycle Show, Husqvarna presented as worldwide preview TC 450 and TE 310 MY 2009. Husqvarna MY 2009 models make their debut as a worldwide preview at the Barcelona Show with the TC 450 and TE 310. The new TE 310 takes the racing Enduro four stroke range up to 4 models. The displacement is very well known and requested by those who enjoy Enduro riding, but not as professionals, and look for a higher displacement than 250, but with the same (...) >> read
It looks either like an advanced mountain bike or an anemic trial bike, but it is actually a combination of both which has been recently introduced as a concept. Yes, it is the DH 2.0 from Derbi, the two-wheeler unveiled by pilots of Derbi Motomondiale Pol Espargaró and Joan Olivé at the MotOh! Exhibition.
Being fitted with a four-stroke single cylinder with two valves meeting Euro 3 regulations, this angry 96.21cc mountain bike is being backed up by 8 horsepower at 8500 rpm and a torque (...) >> read
Now that the summer season starts requesting its rights and events are being planed all over the world, two wheels professionals begin doing a bit of their routine in order to get back in shape for the tight schedule of the year’s period. As a preview, I’m attaching this video of a small stunt show of stuntman Emanuele Freddo who is not bad at this at all! Don’t try this in the parking lot! Even better, don’t try it at all!
The inspiring promotional video hosting MotoGP riders, “replicas” of Dani Pedrosa, Jorge Lorenzo, Andrea Dovizioso, Colin Edwards, James Toseland and Nicky Hayden! Starting early is always good in racing and it seems that children in this video together with the Michelin mascot have got that right. Gentleman, start your engines!
Roehr Motorcycles has just allowed reservations for the new 1250sc model which will be available this summer. Claimed being the most powerful and implicit the fastest running production bike that America has to offer, it already starts to impress and you couldn’t expect less. >> read
