Triumph Italy BE1 Racing and their plans for Assen


Triumph Italy BE1 Racing and their plans for Assen


The Assen track appears threatening in front of Triumph Italy BE1 Racing so the team meticulously prepares the now imminent start of the fourth round of Supersport season, especially after the good impression it left at Valencia. Built in 1949, the Dutch track is considered the highlight of motorcycle racing because of the medium and high speed that riders are needed to coquet with. After only three races in the World Cup, the promising team would have to try and stay on top or even (...)

24 hours of Le Mans: night racing

The video attached below offers a short brief of the 24 hours race of Le Mans. Even though spectators can only see the headlights and hear the roaring engines, the images are truly inspiring and encapsulate the racing atmosphere from the Night of World Endurance.

Winner at the 2008 edition was Suzuki which couldn’t have made it without the Suzuki Endurance Racing Team. Way to go Suzuki!





Photo of the day: not the dearest sight!


Photo of the day: not the dearest sight!


Just like the picture shows, it is not always recommended to go strong before a corner and this rider has learned its lesson in the bad way. This also shows that the protective tire wall is sometimes useless or even worst as it is built for cars, not for the trouble getting two wheels of this crashed racing Aprilia RS 125. Let’s just hope that behind those tires there was a soft cushion on which landing in your head would be a bit less painful (like that’s a consolation).



Toseland to debut with the pneumatic valve engine


Toseland to debut with the pneumatic valve engine


The information is now confirmed: The two-time World Superbike champion, James Toseland, will enter the Portugal Grand Prix with the new Yamaha fitted with pneumatic valve engine. Colin Edwards will benefit of the same treatment and it is expected from Toseland’s teammate to continue making the same good figure, although there is an obvious gap in performance compared to the M1 Factory. This represents the team’s supreme efforts of defending their position in the race and we (...)

How to lose a wheel while racing!

Racing on the wonderful Island on Man TT can really put a mark on any rider’s career, but in this case we’re talking about a carefully approached crash which, thankfully, didn’t had any consequences apart from a damaged bike and a rebel front wheel.





Crashes that happened during racing

We all love watching motorcycle races because there are way more entertaining than races on four wheels and the spectacle is much greater, but what comes strongly related to that are the crashes that take place during races. Some of them look very pain full and others can’t even be called crashes as the rider manages to remain on the bike (few indeed), but each one of them manages to cut our breaths. Let’s take a look!





Michael Schumacher on the Superbike podium


Michael Schumacher on the Superbike podium


Ok, let’s see how we ended up writing this news. There was first the hearing, the denial, the polemics and then the confirmation, but it was all worth it. Michael Schumacher loves the two wheels almost as it does with the four so the Seven Times World Champion in Formula 1 has finally proved it its first official Superbike race. At the Hungarian circuit in Pannonia, German racers occupy pole position and third place after riding on Honda CBR1000RR Team Holzhauer Racing Promotions (...)

2008 Ninja Trophy


2008 Ninja Trophy


On the 30th of March at the Vallelunga track in Italy Kawasaki fans will have the great opportunity of witnessing the second edition of the Ninja Trophy. A race will be held and the participants are owners of the 2007 and 2008 model year Kawasaki ZX-6R so we at least know what bike will win, let’s wait for the rider. Organizers planned six races and all are programmed on the most notorious circuits in Italy, the last and decisive one being the Mugello circuit. Participants have all (...)

Honda motorcycle powered by a V8 motor!

You can’t afford a Boss Hoss monster? No problem, build your own V8-powered motorcycle and you’ll soon be revving in style like in the video below.

Dutch baker Tjitze Tjoelker decided that it was time to do an outrageous thing with its Honda motorbike so he turned into something that you don’t see and hear every day.

Although the seat and pretty much the rear end isn’t attached, you can notice from the shape of the frame, handlebars and gas tank that we’re actually talking about a café racer so you can imagine what a blast the bike is.





Your own Supermoto experience!

If you have never raced a Motard before, and even more, if you have never ridden such a bike before, this video will help you get a feel of the blast you will have!

Vincent Guisande, who has installed an onboard helmet camera, finishes the race in second place so I’m leaving you in the hands of one of the best. Good luck!
