This is a 1981 prepped-out Vespa which, in the right hands, works like magic on the twists and turns of a slippery mountain road. There’s simply nothing to compare with the fabulous feel of an original Vespa being pushed beyond its manufacturer-given characteristics so we look forward on posting more similar ads.
It seems that being environmentally friendly doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to give up to all of those fun weekend incursions on the drag track (even though the one in this case is made of dirt).
Electric engines may not offer the same grunt as the ones fueled by methanol do, but it seems that they get the job done and participants open the throttle to the maximum lap after lap and there is great response to the strong request even though you may have to help the bike with your foot from time to time.
Take a look at this angry K 1200 R making a point against the V8 Topster or the other way. It really depends on what you like most when seeing these two orange beasts revving out their engines all the way up to the red lines on the Nurburgring track.
While everybody is concerned about how the pilots did at the famous Italian race, we are even more curious of how the girls looked and come up with this truly evocating video that will really make a big impression. Enjoy!
We are witnessing what seems to be an overall improvement in the racing performance of the recently-entered motorcycle pilot and this can only be a good thing, but not necesarily with good results.
As Michael Schumacher seems not to be afraid of anything, his confidence increases and meets the bad side of racing on two wheels instead of four. During the second run of the German Superbike Championship, the famous racer was the protagonist of a slip that fortunately didn’t had any consequences and allowed him to finish the race.
On the track of Nurburgring Schumi slipped in the 11th lap when he situated on the seventeenth position. Even though it suffered no injuries and the bike wasn’t heavily damaged, the former Formula 1 champion confesses:
“It’s been a shame because I was enjoying. I braked too early with the front and I ended the steering. Race one had gone very well and finished on the 22th position.”
And this is how the former Ferrari rider checks its second fall. The first had taken place on the same bike, a Honda CBR1000RR, on the track of Oschersleben.
Here’s a lesson that all of us could take: it’s the rider not the bike that makes the difference and you can have a blast on a mid-size motorcycle too. To convince you, here’s a video where a Kawasaki ZX-R ...400 competes against three other bikes but the weird thing is that the 400cc is far from its place in this pile of cubic centimeters and watts.
Before you watch this video I must remind you that the 400cc has a maximum power output around 57HP while the other three at least three times more.
We’ve come across this video which is all about the never ending fight between a four wheel and a two wheel machine. With this occasion, the new Caterham R500 with its 263 hp and 506 kg challenges the Ducati Hypermotard 1100 S having 95 hp and under 180 kg.
You don’t have to blink too much in order to see that it is all about the spectacle. Skids, takeovers, you name it, you have it. I personally like the ironic ending although I was supporting the Ducati.
No matter what, any MotoGP session brings us the “other” enjoyment of watching races and it is all about the sight. It is well known that teams not only compete on the track, but in the paddocks too. This is also where the fine ladies happen to be and the camera is just behind. > More
The motorcycling world is bereaved by another tragedy. Robert Dunlop died as a result of the injuries suffered on 15th of May during the free practice of the North West 200, a classic race held on classic road ever since 1929.
Running at approximately 160 mph near Mather’s Cross, Robert lost control of his 250cc Honda motorcycle and fall to the ground where he was hit by Darren Burns who raced just behind.
Family and friends are torn apart by the awful news and talk about the fact racing on classic roads should stop as a consequence of this tragic accident. Even though aware of the risks they are assuming, pilots live for racing and it seems that sometimes only such a terrible example can change something.
Among the many promising themes planned for this weekend on the track of Mantua, there is also the appointment with the French MX pilot, Livia Lancelot. At only 20 years, the skilled Kawasaki pilot arrives for the first time in Mantua with the clear purpose of defending that much craved first place in the Women World Championship.
Italy opens its gates for this weekend’s Grand Prix and although the track is a first for Livia, she has great expectations for a weekend to remember (...) > More
