Ducati vs. Ferrari during "Ducs Fly South" Track Day


Ducati vs. Ferrari during "Ducs Fly South" Track Day

Italy’s “red” motorcycle and car manufacturers will compete in a winner-takes-all race on July 13th at the Ducs Fly South track day at New Jersey Motorsports Park.

The event is Ducati’s major for the summer and the most interesting part of it goes like this: Universal Autosports staff will pilot three Ferrari Challenge cars around the track and see which one obtains the best lap time. Immediately following the hot lap competition, professional Ducati instructors and racers will compete in an identical way on Ducati motorcycles.

The best of the best Ferrari Challenge driver and Ducati rider will go head-to-head and, hopefully, offer an answer to the old car vs. motorcycle dilemma.

Video: Unbelievable Motorcycle Save by Jamie Hacking


Video: Unbelievable Motorcycle Save by Jamie Hacking

This video shows an unbelievable towards impossible motorcycle save achieved by AMA Superbike racer Jamie Hacking. What is definitely a scene that will remain in the archives of racing as the “greatest save of all times” happened while the American rider came out a high-speed corner on his Kawasaki ZX-10R and suddenly the bike lost traction of the rear tire.

Despite ending up scrapping the floor at over 120mph, Hacking somehow managed to hold on to the handlebar and the bike miraculously saved the day. The racer ended up finishing the race on a decent podium position (you sure know which that is).

2009 Norton NRV588 Race


Get the Flash Player to see the videos.

It’s always nice to see comebacks in the motorcycle industry, especially for fans of the different brands. In what Norton is concerned, although they’ll most likely never reach their former glory, the modern interpretation of their mid 1990s racer is enough to provide the industry with an accurate impression of how advanced the technology implemented in this model was for its time. And with performance data comparable to that of modern supersport models, we reckon the Brits have little catching up to do.

MotoCzysz E1pc is ready for TTXGP


MotoCzysz E1pc is ready for TTXGP

The MotoCzysz E1pc has been finalized, photographed and it is now ready for the TTXGP electric motorcycle race at Isle of Man. The pictures reveal the fact that only 6 of the 10 battery packs are exposed (3 on each side) and that the bike uses an iPhone for a dash.

The final step of the building process leaves us with an opened mouth and the Brammo TTR with shaking wheels. Also referred to as the D1gi1al Superbike, this is one electric bike that the world of racing has long expected, the journalists speculated about and which only needs to get on the track in order to prove that it means business. June 12th 2009 will be the day of truth!





Video: Motorcycle Save by Raffaele de Rosa


Video: Motorcycle Save by Raffaele de Rosa

The qualifying round of the 250cc MotoGP race in Mugello saw Honda rider Raffaele de Rosa losing almost total control of his motorcycle after being thrown from the seat. We say almost because what looked like a serious crash transformed in one of the best motorcycle saves caught on tape in a while, if not THE best. The race rider remains calm, continuing to maneuver his bike after being hit two times in the chest and manages to get back on the seat after even missing the footrest once. Unbelievable!
