The Art Deco Motorcycle That Time Forgot

By James Grahame



The sheer beauty of the BMW R7 prototype takes my breath away. A single copy was crafted in 1934 by design engineer Alfred Böning. His vision was a departure from the "bicycle with motor" design still prevalent in the 1930s. The R7 incorporated sweeping enclosed bodywork, a pressed steel frame, valanced mudguards and then-innovative telescopic front forks.

The R7's beauty was more than skin deep, however. The transmission featured an 'H' pattern hand shifter and the 800c Boxer engine crafted by Leonhard Ischinger was decades ahead of its time. The revolutionary engine includes a forged, single piece crankshaft. The cylinder housing is a monoblock with a hemispherical combustion chamber, eliminating the need for a troublesome head gasket and the camshaft is positioned below the crank (allowing more convenient plug placement).



Alas, the R7 was deemed too extravagant and expensive to produce in the harsh economic and political climate of the mid-1930s. The roadworthy prototype was stripped of useful parts, crated and largely forgotten until 2005. When the box was finally opened, the R7 was found to be 70% complete but in disastrous condition. Many components were severely rusted and a long-forgotten battery had ruptured and corroded the machine even further.

Luckily, the original design drawings were located in the BMW Archives and BMW Classic undertook a comprehensive restoration. A team of specialists rebuilt the frame, bodywork, transmission and one-of-a-kind motor. By the end of 2008, the machine looked like it must have when Alfred Böning first rolled it out of his Munich workshop. It performed flawlessly on its first road test in over 70 years and, hopefully, will be displayed around the world in years to come.

Ural's New 2WD Patrol T Motorcycle

By James Grahame



Ural motorcycles are direct descendants of the venerable BMW R71. Prior to WWII, the Germans gave blueprints and casting molds for the design to the Russians, who promptly turned around and manufactured thousands of them for the Red Army. The Irbit Motorcycles Works has been producing updated versions ever since.

The new 2WD Ural Patrol T is a sport utility motorcycle with the world’s only on-demand 2WD sidecar drive shaft that would put a Lada Niva to shame. It even features a reverse gear to back out of tough spots in a hurry. The bike features a 749cc air-cooled 4-cycle opposed twin cylinder engine, Herzog gears, Brembo brakes and Domino controls. There's even a storage compartment in the sidecar for spare ammunition gear and tools.



Every Ural bike is still hand-assembled in Irbit, Russia and is simple to maintain. As the company proudly declares, there's nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer and sickle. Available for $12,399 at a sport utility motorcycle dealership near you.

A Ferrari Chopper Motorcycle For Those Who Desire More Than Just The Supercar

The Ferrari never really does conjure the image of a stylish chopper mobike in our minds. It is always the famous Italian supercar that is known to have torn up the racetrack for so many years now. So, neither you nor we can be blamed. Because one very enterprising and, might we add, daring motorcycle bulder has devised a contradiction of his own. And he likes to call it the Ferrari Chopper.

The picture above showcases the machine in reference in its mechanical splendor. We are told that only two such bikes have been made. One has been powered by an inline-triple from Triumph. On the other hand, the second one makes use of an inline-four that has been yanked from a Yamaha R1.

And if it helps, both these bikes have been on the show circuit with a lot of mileage gained on both the Internet and in print. One of these bikes was recently auctioned off on eBay for a huge $40,000.

2011 Kawasaki Ninja ZX10R

I read about it on motorcycle.com.



And they found a secret of baddest Ninja ever!!!


Kawasaki made a special site for the next Ninja! It's Kawasaki Challenge.


Test rider Hidemichi Takahashi rode the new race-spec Kawasaki ZX-10R in a test session at Suzuka. Wet conditions limited the Kawasaki R&D team to just two or three laps of usable data, however.


World Superbike Championship race-winner Akira Yanagawa will take over for another day of tests July 8. Kawasaki R&D has planned several other tests in preparation for the 2011 WSBK Championship.


From the site, I read many information, including some expectations, weight reduction issue, horse power peaking, latest technology compared to BMW S1000RR, since the BMW is told to be the most sophisticated one. Well, we'll see the latest news from Kawasaki.


Here if you want to hear the 2011 Ninja sound!







I like Kawasaki Ninja since I was about 19. I'm a kind of person who likes good names. I love details. And I think that Kawasaki made great job by picking "Ninja" as its sportbike series' name, picking green color as its identity was also a great decision!


Here in Indonesia, there's also Kawasaki Ninjas, but the 2-stroke Ninjas are more popular here. There are Kawasaki Ninja 150R and Kawasaki Ninja 150RR, with 2-stroke 150cc engine, these bikes rule the Indonesian road!


Lately Kawasaki launched the Kawasaki Ninja 250. It has a 4-stroke engine, with displacement of 250cc, and comes with a two-parallel engine. This is also a shocking bike, not only in Indonesia, but in the whole world as well.
I always like Kawasaki other than Yamaha frankly. It may have no good achievement in motoGP, nor in WSBK, but I'm always a big fan of Kawasaki!


Kawasaki Ninja ZX10R is surely the Ninja I like most. And the information I read frommotorcycle.com just made me impatient to hear more about the 2011 ZX10R.


Reading it, I found out that the Ninja will be the baddest ass-kicker Ninja ever! While the Kawasaki team still trying the dealing with the issue of the Ninja; less weight, higher horse power peak, more sophisticated technology, etc., I will still love Ninja, no matter what.

Ducati: The 848EVO middleweight sportbike gets refined

By Motorcycle Advice USA, on August 10th, 2010

The Ducati 848 EVO
PRESS RELEASE
DUCATI ANNOUNCES THE 848EVO SUPERBIKE
New for 2011, the 848EVO is the year’s most significant middleweight sport bike
Cupertino, Calif. (20 July 2010) – Ducati proudly announces today the most powerful middleweight sport bike on the market; the 2011 Ducati 848EVO Superbike.
The new Ducati 848EVO is the pinnacle of sport bike engineering, designed to be the leader in the middleweight class. Weighing only 369 pounds and propelled by 140 horsepower and 72 lb/ft of torque, it is the most powerful motorcycle in its category.
The 848EVO is based upon Ducati’s best ever selling middleweight Superbike- the 848. Along with the “EVO” designation comes a significant amount of upgrades based on AMA Pro Racing feedback and consumer demand.
At the heart of the 848EVO is the Testastretta Evoluzione engine, significantly redesigned for a higher power output. All new cylinder heads, pistons, throttle bodies and camshafts combine for a forceful output of 140hp @ 10,500rpm and 72.3 lb/ft of torque @9,750rpm. All of this significant engine performance is wrapped in new black cylinder cases.
In addition to the more powerful engine, the 848EVO’s chassis and braking systems have been upgraded. A cross-mounted steering damper has been added for greater control of the steering system, and the welcome addition of Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tires will ensure maximum grip while delivering every last horsepower to the asphalt.
The 848EVO receives a massive upgrade to the braking system in the form of Brembo Monobloc calipers. These single-piece calipers are machined from solid alloy and achieve a higher rigidity and resistance to distortion during extreme braking. The resulting increase in hydraulic efficiency not only delivers incredible braking power, but also provides an enhanced and precise ‘feel’ at the brake lever.
All this combines to form the most potent, powerful and lightweight middle class sport bike available; both for the road or race track usage. For 2011, a special “Dark” version will be available; which unlike “Dark” editions of Ducati’s past will be a truly black bike from front to rear, giving the motorcycle an aggressive look and attitude.
The Ducati 848EVO Superbike will be available in North American Ducati Dealerships at the end of August, 2010. Impressively, MSRP will remain unchanged from the 2010 848 it replaces: $12,995 for the “Dark” edition, and $13,995 for Ducati Red.

The 2010 BMW HP2 Sport Motorcycle

By Motorcycle Advice USA, on August 20th, 2010

BMW HP2 Motorcycle
2010 BMW HP2 Sport
The sportiest and most powerful series production flat twin Motorcycle of all time, the HP2 Sport Motorcycle continues into model year 2010 with the addition of a special Motorsport Edition.
The HP2 Sport Motorsport Edition continues to be powered by the familiar flat twin engine equipped with double overhead camshafts delivering 133 hp at 8750 rpm, but emulating the look of the BMW Motorrad Motorsport factory racers, featuring fairing, fuel tank, seat bench, front mudguard and engine spoiler painted in the BMW Motorsport colours Alpine White, Lupine Blue metallic and Magma Red.
Outstanding race results are inexorably linked with BMW Motorrad’s flat twin “Boxer” models. So it is an obvious step to build a high-end version! The result is the BMW HP2 Sport: the uncompromising realisation of the 24-Hour Endurance racer as a road machine. 100 per cent motor racing genes, licensed for the road. An exclusive sports machine by BMW Motorrad for motor racing connoisseurs and 2-cylinder enthusiasts which puts racing expertise into serial production – with power and authenticity.
With an incredible air/oil-cooled 133 bhp and 115 Nm – a unique performance for a serial production “Boxer”!
The BMW HP2 Sport Motorcycle caused quite a stir with its race track appea­rances – rarely has a 2-cylinder flat twin bike caused the competition so much trouble, it even outdistanced many a 4-cylinder bike. In the last 24-hour race at the Oschersleben Speedweek, both machines entered in the race finished in the overall top 10. One reason for this perfor­mance is the DOHC cylinder head*, which is being used for the first time in this fascinatingly engineered enthusiast’s motorcycle.
For all ambitious sports riders and keen flat twin fans a unique limited edition of 400 is now to be produced: derived from the paint finish of the Endurance machine, it is finished in the colours Alpine White /Indigo Blue / HP Red. As in the racing machine, the rims are finished in Indigo Blue at the front and Alpine White at the rear. Otherwise all the familiar specifications apply, including the material – leading to a sensational dry weight of 178 kg – and the impressive performance figures. In short: take the opportunity to put it away right now – or else use it for what it was built for and order a second set of rims for the rain tyres along with it! ­
* DOHC = Double OverHead Camshaft, double overhead camshaft for each cylinder.

BMW Motorcycles
With a staggering 130 horsepower, the HP 2 Sport Bike features the most powerful Boxer engine ever designed by BMW Motorrad. For the first time ever, double overhead camshafts are included in our famous opposed twin cylinder motor, kicking out even more revs.
Making the HP2 Sport even more track-ready is new Quickshifter technology, which means faster gear changes without having to chop the throttle or use the clutch.
with Added fully adjustable Ohlins sport front and rear suspension, Radial mounted Brembo Monobloc brakes, a lightweight carbon fiber aerodynamic fairing, not to mention forged racing wheels and tires and a MotoGP-inspired cockpit that computes lap times and other racing data, and the result is one of the most advanced sport bikes to ever scorch the tarmac.
As an option BMW Motorrad offers ABS especially adapted for sports use. An additional pressure sensor in the front brake circuit permits more sensitive brake regulation and prevents the control unit from releasing the front brake too early when weight is taken off the rear wheel suddenly. The ABS can also be deactivated for racetrack use.
The HP2 Sport Motorsport is now available for order and limited to 400 units. The price in Germany is € 22,300.- incl. 19% VAT.

2010 AMA Motocross Championship in Southwick, MA

By J. Barnett, on September 1st, 2010

Ryan Dungey Victory at Southwick
Yoshimura rider Ryan Dungey added another No. 1 plate to his already impressive collection on Saturday. The rookie clinched the 2010 AMA Motocross Championship in Southwick, Massachusetts, with 1-1 moto victories, making it his ninth win in a row this season in the outdoor series.
Dungey is the only rookie to ever win both the Supercross and Motocross title, and his Yoshimura-powered Suzuki RM-Z450 has gotten him to the front of the pack all season. Stand-in Honda rider Kevin Windham finished fifth overall, while his teammate Andrew Short, who sits second in the standings, soldiered through a tough day to finish 18th overall. In the WMX class, Ashley Fiolek won the first moto en route to a strong second-place finish for the day on her Honda.
Southwick is a very special race on the AMA Pro Motocross circuit, offering one of the sandiest and most challenging tracks of the series. Despite the fact there are two races left in the 2010 season, there was an air of excitement at Southwick as fans anticipated the crowning of a new champion by the end of the day. Ryan Dungey went into the race 111 points ahead in the series, and if he could add enough to his tally at Southwick, he’d be walking out with a No. 1 plate.
The first 450 moto saw Dungey riding a solid race as he positioned himself firmly in second place. When the opportunity arose, Dungey moved past the sandy roost of the leader and into first place on the very last lap. The crowd cheered loudly as Dungey took his 15th moto victory of the season, knowing they were about to witness history with the crowning of a rookie champ. Honda riders Kevin Windham and Andrew Short had mixed results: Windham put in a solid top-10 ride, securing seventh place in the moto, while Short pushed from the last spot on the gate to end the race in 15th.
When the gate dropped for moto two, Dungey used his Yoshimura power to get another good start and move into the lead shortly after the start of the race. He would go uncontested on his way to a perfect 1-1 finish to the day, crossing the finish line more than 24 seconds ahead of everyone else. After taking the checkered flag, Dungey met up with his team to celebrate history in the making. Ryan was given a new jersey to put on featuring the number he’ll run next year, No. 1, and his crew all donned specially made Dungey championship shirts as they crowded onto the podium to celebrate the 20-year-old’s second championship of 2010.
“Congratulations to Ryan Dungey for his awesome, record-breaking rookie season!” Yoshimura R&D of America Senior Vice President Don Sakakura said. “Ryan’s courage, superior skills and diligent conditioning were instrumental in his dominating motocross season, accomplishments which Ryan will surely cherish for a lifetime. His Suzuki RM-Z450 performed flawlessly all season long, we must offer sincere appreciation to the Suzuki engineering team abroad, as well Roger DeCoster and his team of race technicians.”

2011 New Yamaha Star Stryker 1300

2011 Yamaha Stryker 1300





The Stryker by New Yamaha Star Motorcycles is the coolest bike to roll off the assembly line since the Yamaha Raider took the industry by storm. With its raked out front end and "fists in the wind" riding position, this bike is pure attitude. And with fuel injection, a 1304cc V-Twin, and a beautiful final belt drive, the 2011 Yamaha Stryker churns out plenty of low-end torque that gets to the ground in a very satisfying way. It's time for an attitude adjustment! Powered by a liquid-cooled, 1304cc V-twin powerplant, the new Stryker offers an unparalleled riding experience. The looks are guaranteed to turn heads while the engine performance and sound will keep you grinning all day. But there is more. It is hard to put into words but one ride and you will discover its unique "bad boy" attitude.




2011 New Yamaha Star Stryker 1300



Double cradle steel frame with "open neck space" provides an aggressive chopper image. This frame utilizes a rigid engine mounting system to optimize the overall rigidity balance of the chassis for superior handling. The rake is 34 degrees with a yoke offset * of 6 degrees. The frame not provides excellent handling and roomy ergonomics but also compliments the beautiful flowing lines of the entire machine.
Important Note: Raked out front fork with lots of trail generally provides good straight line stability but often results in heavy steering at low speeds. The engineers at Yamaha will not sacrifice handling for styling, so they have developed a 6 degree yoke offset angle combined with a 34 degree steering head for a total fork angle of 40 degrees. The "Stryker" provides light "athletic handling and easy steering" not normally associated with a custom styled bike. This bike was designed to be ridden ! Key numbers: 6 degree yoke offset angle, 34 degree caster angle, 109mm of trail.

2011 Triumph Sprint GT Review

2011 Triumph Sprint GT – Triumph has built its share of extravagant bikes-the “Nuclear Red” Speed Triple jumps to mind, as does the Rocket III in any color. The Sprint GT is not one of those bikes. This heavily modified Grand Touring version of the old Sprint ST is an advanced machine that covers its strong performance behind a cloak of reserved classiness. Though it seems similar to the old ST, the GT is new from the fuel tank back, and substantially modified everywhere else. The result is a motorcycle that keeps the sporting abilities of the ST, with better passenger accommodations, improved carrying capacity and advanced performance all around.
2011 Triumph Sprint G is powered by a 1050cc l-c inline-triple engine developing 128 bhp at 9200rpm and 80lb ft at 6300rpm. A conventional side-mount muffler replaces the ST’s underseat exhaust, making room for a longer, lower subframe to increase passenger comfort and restore underseat storage capacity. This new subframe carries standard-equipment saddlebags, now expanded from 22 to 31 liters and big enough to hold even the largest helmet. The cast-aluminum rack is also standard, and pre-wired to accept an optional 55-liter top box that features a built-in 12-volt power socket to charge gadgets on the fly.
The suspension isn’t especially advanced, but calibration is spot-on; plush enough for enjoyable traveling but responsive enough for sensible, high-speed sport riding, too. The old, right-side-up cartridge fork stays, but damping rates have been raised to effectively remove the previous version’s excessive dive under braking. The single-sided swingarm is 3.1 inches longer to boost stability under a heavy load, and a firmer shock now offers 30 clicks of remote preload adjustment to easily accommodate solo or two-up rides. The braking system-another weak link on the ST-has likewise been addressed.
