The ORDINAL NUMBER was born 500: 4 cylinders, 8 valves for cylinders, oval pistons, two connecting rods for cylinder.

Also the loom was innovated: it was about a monobodywork “to egg” into which the propeller was inserted. The ORDINAL NUMBER 500 was brought in debut to Silverstone da Takazumi Katayama, ex-iridescent of 350 and in glese Mick Grant. The debut was a disaster: the motion had start difficulty, it was let share from the fund of the array. Grant fell and the ORDINAL NUMBER caught fire. Since then the initials ORDINAL NUMBER, that was for “New Racing“ was a mockery object: “Nearly Ready“ was nicknamed, almost ready, or “Never Run“, he will never run.

Subsequently it was led in competition briefly also at Freddie's Spencer. Today it is still the most complex project never faced by the colossus of Tokyo. When 500 follows a short video of the ORDINAL NUMBER.

Harley-Davidson names Keith E. Wandell President

2009-04-10T05:25:00.000-07:00

Keith Wandell has been named Harley-Davidson's new President and CEO, taking the place of James Ziemer. Wendell joins The Motor Company by way of fellow Milwaukee-based automotive supplier Johnson Controls, where he'll remain in his current role as President and COO until the end of April. Financial news institutions seem generally pleased with the appointment, which is good since H-D's currently experiencing some of the worst market conditions in its 106-year history. Somewhat shockingly, Wandell does not currently own a motorcycle, a fact we're certain will be quickly rectified.

Also starting on May 1 will be Enrico D'Onofrio, who will take the reigns at MV Agusta, the Italian motorcycle maker that was recently purchased by Harley-Davidson. D'Onofrio had previously held the role of CFO at cross-town rival Ducati - which definitely sounds promising - and will take over for Matthew Levatich, who will now serve as COO at H-D. Quite the management shake-up, no? Mind-numbingly boring press release after the break.

Concept Honda CBR600RR Repsol Carbon

2009-04-10T02:18:00.000-07:00

He is one of the most beautiful concept and better realised what he has ever seen on the last times. It is about a concept Honda CBR600RR Repsol Carbon published by TheUncle on deviantART.

In the photographic gallery you find also two versions, in blue and white (Suzuki?) and one instead in green and black (? Kawasaki) you think one perhaps before the definitive version Repsol Carbon.

Apart from the small dome and part of the previous bottom similar to the KTM RC8 I find her really "bad".

Lighting equipment to Led BKR for Yamaha T-Max 500

2009-04-10T02:05:00.000-07:00

BKR, new mark dedicated to the tuning of Inhabitants of Bergamo, proposes for the scooterone best seller of the Italian market a new lighting equipment to led, more performante and of strong aesthetic impact.

An approved back lantern: light of position, stop and arrows, all of it integrated into a single lens thermoformed and completely shining through to show in all their beauty the series of led to high brightness that constitute a unique of its kind product.

The led generate a superior bright intensity to a normal system to incandescence and extremely cleaned guaranteeing the maximum visibility in any atmospheric condition. The product is perfectly intercambiabe with the to be adopted product of series the same wiring. The price to the public is 138,50 Iva included.

BKR has realised also the approved previous arrows. It is about a single thermoformed lens and technology to led.

Suzuki GSX-R 1100 Off-Road

2009-04-09T04:41:00.000-07:00

We have told a little time to you fà about the R1 with enduro ready for Erzberg Rodeo; now there is the turn of Suzuki GSX-R 1100 off - road prepared at the RM's Racing di Pedrengo, an exceptional mix between a superbike of other times and a motion with regularity.

The motor has been elaborated, increased 4 cylinders to 1200cc, and connected with an order of the swift gas; the original back telaietto has been sawed, and the forcellone substituted with one in aluminium derived from the GSX-R 750 of 1993; the back mono one is an Ohlins of road type, while the forecarriage is taken in loan from a KTM.

To guide a special of this calibre must not be an easy thing, above all taking into account the answer of the motor and of not optimal distribution of the weights. Goodness knows that sound celestial there goes out of the open unloading each time that puts 4 Hamamatsu cylinders to land his cavalry…

Jawa celebrates 80 years with 650 Dakar

2009-04-09T04:38:00.000-07:00

The present JAWA Motion spol. s r.o. is a born Czechoslovak company in 1929 to Prague; this year, to celebrate his first 80 years, will propose a new model of grittier motion and the decidedly modern technical contents: one will call 650 Dakar and will be presented in two versions.

The motor 652cc derives from the single-cylinder Minarelli-Yamaha climbed the XT660; a simple and robust propeller, which it develops about 50cv to 6.500 circles / minute. But the Italian components climbed the Dakar do not finish here: there will be also the fork Pots, brakes Grimeca and other sides produced by Verlicchi and Bitubo.

The motion should weigh about 190 Kg dry, and the marketing would leave 2010. Two the versions: the base and the Touring; this last one will adopt a windscreen of generous dimensions and a set of three travelling bags. Maggiorni info on situated Jawa.

GM Segway electric P.U.M.A., two wheels for two places

2009-04-08T02:11:00.000-07:00

It has two wheels but they are parallel, he is guided sat and is two-seater. It is the prototype P.U.M.A. (Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility) that will be presented on the eve of the Hall of the car of New York, in program with near 10 in April 19.

P.U.M.A. is an electric vehicle planned by General Motors and Segway, company producer of the revolutionary vehicle to 2 wheels (biga). The vehicle would go to production in 2012 and would cost around 4000 Euro. It will be able to reach 56 Kmh and will have an autonomy of about 56 Km. The cost of a reloading would be of suns hundredth 26 of Euro.

"We believe that the project Puma - has been said by Larry Burns, vice-president for the research and development of General Motors - follows the direction outlined by president Obama and by the task force by the motor sector. It will be appreciated by the people, perches’ and’ an exceptional, amusing and sure vehicle".

First rendezvous with Harley-Davidson XR1200 Trophy 2009 to Varan

2009-04-08T02:06:00.000-07:00

Standing ovation for the first rendezvous in circuit of Harley-Davidson Italy. To Varan dè Melegari in province of Parma has concluded in this first Sunday in April the holiday The Legend On Tour that has held the first competition 2009 of the trophy monomark XR1200 Trophy.

So many people the lovers suited the works and curious attracted at the colours rejoicing and sound of the Milwaukee motion. A week-end of passion that has counted over 5.000 presence in spite of the inclement time in the Saturday day. The challenge on the XR1200 it has been the plate strong with the weekend: here is how it has gone.

In Pro-Class competition 1, Fabrizio Perotti followed by Luca Pedersoli and Luca Pini joins firstly the finishing line;, after the technical verifications post-competition, it is still judged the motion of not conformable Pedersoli to the rule and for this squialificata. Paolo Blora rises so to the third put and his motion “113 ″.

In the second manche Pro-Class Luca Pedersoli, Fabrizio Perotti and Sebastiano Zerbo leave well. To the third circle an unrestrained Alexander Traversaro fallen on competition 1, passes Zerbo and is placed in third position. The first four take the rest of the group and carry ahead with scowl their battle. The competition concludes with Fabrizio Perotti in first position, Alexander Traversaro second and Luca Pedersoli third; as in competition 1 nevertheless, Pedersoli scqualificato leaves the lowest step of the podium Sebastiano Zerbo.

In the class Challenger, the trio that opens competition 1 is seen to the first place by the pilot of house Roberto Demaldè, according to Fabio Balucani and third Roberto Poggi. Subsequently Balucani passes to the order with an overtaking from manual and fights to maintain the first position. Circle Demaldè and Hillocks follow it per second. In the following circles Fausto Duci and Nicola Ruggiero fight for the third position with Demaldè. Flag to squares for Fabio Balucani who closes in first position, Roberto Poggi in second and Nicola Ruggiero in third.

In competition 2 Challenger, to the first curves they impose on themselves in the group Roberto Demaldè, Fausto Duci and Fabio Balucani. Undergone after Demaldè it goes out of the competition and Emanuele Frosi penetrates into the rose of the first three, trying the hooking in top. The last competition of the day will conclude with Fabio Balucani in first position, Roberto Poggi in second and Fausto Duci in third, after the overtaking on the wool thread to the Frosi damages. The Chiefs' exclusion will deliver the third step of the podium to Frosi.

MotoGP to Losail: Stoner satisfied with the progress of the GP9, Hayden to the hundredth "token" in the class queen

2009-04-08T01:47:00.000-07:00

After 5 longest months of stop, the protagonists of the motorworld one return in footprint. The traced out one is that of Losail, who holds the first one and to the Big single moment I Award a prize in night of the calendar. That one of Doha will be the most important rendezvous.

We are talking about the Great Prize that it will give her to a series of radical changes that aim to reduce in short the costs of the MotoGP and to return impassioned garlic that show that too many times has lacked during the last years. Monorubber and sessions of proofs reduced for the moment.

Friday will be begun, with the single turn of free ones, in order that then each one continues with another two turns on Saturday all 45 minutes. Team Ducati Marlboro has unwound the perfect work last winter with the newborn one GP9. Casey Stoner, whom somewhat for the time is recovering at the intervention in the left wrist, will try to lead to house the third consecutive victory on the circuit of the Qatar.

“In Australia I have left the summer end and of the holidays but to say the truth I do not see the hour of the season begins.” - it reveals the Southport ventitreenne to us - “I am a content of the development carried ahead by the engineers in Ducati and tests that we have done in footprint. The motion it has improved under several outlines: the motor has a better disbursement of the power, the loom in carbon has improved the stability and it is that I satisfy also of the new forcellone in carbon, which we have tried only in the last two tests. Even if the buongiorno sees himself the morning, we know that the competitions are always another history: we must not lower absolutely the guard not to repeat the error of last year, when I have begun the season not much too trustingly. The Qatar is a not particularly exciting footprint, we hope only that the temperature is gentler compared to the tests”.

It proceeds slowly, but with constant progress, the adaptation of Nicky Hayden to the Desmosedici of Borgo Panigale. In the GP number 100 in career, ”Kentucky Kid” hopes to find again the enamel of the beautiful times and to manage to hit the centre of a placing that could infondergli the necessary trust to face the course of the championship.

“It is beautiful to run finally again: this year we begin the season later than the usual one even if we have not done many tests.” - Nicky declares -

“By now the moment has arrived of doing on the serious one. If I must choose on which footprint to make one's debut with the Ducati I would have chosen really the Qatar, where a few weeks ago we have done a good session from proofs, then I would say that I am lucky! I cannot hide that I would like to be more ahead of what there are, but they are whichever very glad to begin because I love the competitions, I love to run and to put myself in competition with others. I do not manage to believe almost of being arrived at the hundredth GP: I have liked all … well someone much more than others, but it is however that may be, an honour to run them against so many great pilots, on fantastic footprints and before a public aroused passion in the whole world. I know that it will not be easy but I hope that the best wall should still to arrive.!”

You want a helmet as Rossi – no problems!!!

2009-04-07T09:20:00.000-07:00

As it is known, on several races of last season world champion Valentino Rossi drove in a helmet on which top part its own photographic image flaunted.

Now a helmet on the same sample company AGV suggests to make to all wishing motorcyclists. And the offer is issued under the moto:" Place the image on a helmet and throw Valentino's call on a track in Mudzhello ".

For processing and a photo premise it is possible to choose a black, dark grey, white helmet or dark blue in same paint as was at Rossi. For order placing simply enough to load on a site a picture which you wish to transfer on a helmet (the maximum size – 500 kB). And it is possible to be limited to easier photo of design of such helmet, and it is possible both to go up to the end and to order it in a reality.

We will remind, what exactly in this helmet with original and fervent own photo on top Rossi acted and has won on the Italian track of Mudzhello. We will notice that this victory was the third successively in 2008 season and the eighth successively victory on this Italian track. By the way, if there is a desire to have the same helmet in accuracy and with a photo of smiling Rossi, instead of the also it as wrote Motonews.ru, is on sale for a long time already – under the European price in 745 euros.

Test Yamaha YZF-R1 2009: Road... with the motor of the dreams

2009-04-06T00:12:00.000-07:00

The R1 2009 bursts into the segment of the supersporting ones with the first great technical change introduced into the scheme of the motor four cylinders in line: the irregular bursts. Sound and disbursement bicylindrical but performance and I lengthen four cylinders, they unite with a control of the gas and of the back wheel I never endorse before hour.

Forget the hissing sound of four cylinders in line known till now. Those roared unloadings that were resounding to the high and low regimes as flutes driven to the high frequencies are only a memory. New Yamaha R1 ‘09 converges on the road of the modern MotoGP and goes along again the most evident technical choices, like the motor it to irregular bursts that transforms in so evident way the typical unloading sonority.

The motor is hoarse also when one travels above 10.000 indicated circles / minute, while at least there is added to the big and thundered voice an evident irregularity of typical answer of the bicylindrical big ones of our house. But the future seems by now unequivocally outlined and that one from the motor to irregular bursts becomes the technical choice of reference that we cannot marry and subscribe already after few circles on the traced out historian of Eastern Creek, to few tens of kilometres of Sidney, in Australia.

Even if with less authoritative and more human garments compared to those of expensive Valentino, also we have to convince the most efficient management of the power presented by this type of motor. Not at random his majesty Red, after the first time had tried it, opted undergone for the motor to irregular bursts instead of that to agreed bursts, then called "screamer", that was guaranteeing nevertheless a quite superior maximum power. If then the benefit, in traction terms and dosabilità of the gas, is informed by a world pilot who certainly is not deficient in sensitiveness of guide and control of the motion, an even greater benefit will be informed by how many like us, honest workers of the semihandles, we have not at ours a noble cotanto movement of the “right wrist”.

Aerodynamics and style
One of the most evident changes of the news YZF-R1 is the completely drawn again small dome, which adapts perfectly to the double lighthouse with supplemented air catching. The unmistakable look of the series R is easily recognizable, but on this last version it is exasperated by a line extremely sharp that cleaves the air.To the lighting of the anabbaglianti a device is activated which dark part of the lighthouses.

When the pilot selects the dazzling ones it is withdrawn, allowing the complete projection of the bright bundle. The innovative design of the projectors includes also the commutator abbaglianti/anabbaglianti to solenoid, used for the first time on one motion destined for the series production. Also the instrumentation has been renewed: the new display multifunction is provided with tachometre, speedometer, thermometer of the liquid of cooling, indicator temperature aspirated air, two partial speedometers, indicator I level fuel, watch, chronometre, indicator of changed, indicator inserted march and indicator map motor activates. A novelty of the model 2009 is the loom of red, disposable colour only for the YZF-R1 "white", that confers to the motion a single look, emphasising so the new design.

Technology concentrate

The most significant technological element of this new compact motor to high performances is the tree “to cross” of derivation racing, that guarantees an exceptionally linear couple and gestibile and elevated traction levels. When a motor produces a determinate couple, in fact it develops this that the engineers Yamaha define “composite couple”, or a combination between that one produced by the combustion and that inertial resultant the rotation of the drive shaft.

In spite of the level of couple generated by the combustion there is proportional as well as direct result of the order given by the pilot on the accelerator, the inertial couple is instead of fruit of the variations produced by the rotation of the motor on the strength of inertia (resistance of the drive shaft to the rotation). Therefore the factor of the composite couple is not directly and immediately checkable by the pilot, in all that he varies while varying of the regime motor, independently the order given on the accelerator.

To be able to offer a more linear control it is then necessary to create a motor that allows to minimise the inertial couple and to optimise that one composite. In 4 cylinders one of the most effective manners to do it consists in adopting a tree “to cross”, with the connecting rod axes arranged in the way of obtaining intervals of lighting of 270th, 180th, 90th, 180th one, completely diverged compared to the sequence 180th, 180th, 180th, 180th from a traditional motor to 4 cylinders. This geometry allows to minimise the inertial couple created by the masses in alternate movement and to obtain the perfect push to the low and middle regimes and an excellent linearity of disbursement to any regime.

And in order to optimise later on the forces of combustion of the new asymmetrical motor, the electronic mapping of the system of alimentation foresees an injection of the fuel and a phasing of the lighting distinguished for each cylinder. Besides the pin of the drive shaft is of increased diameter, equal to 36 mm (compared to the 32 mm of diameter of the model YZF-R1 2008), fitter for the new characteristics of the tree to cross. The characteristic shares of the motor are of 78,0 x 52,2 mm, with a scheme to short run that determines the most elevated bore never recorded on a supersporting motor Yamaha with 1.000 cc.

It makes the debut on this one a motion also the substation with system “D-Fashions“ that foresees three different manner for the mapping of the motor: Standard, To and B, selezionabili the pilot on the grounds of the conditions of guide through the special order on the right semihandle. The Standard manner is going mappata to offer optimal total performances, the manner A guarantees an answer readier of the motor, while the B supplies a sweeter feedback to the orders given by the pilot on the accelerator.

This version 2009 is a compendium of all most sophisticated systems of electronic management planned at Yamaha's, the order of the gas is present in fact at electronic control YCC-T (Yamaha Chip-Controlled Throttle), the system of electronic injection with secondary injectors, the valve parzializzatrice at the unloading Exup and the system that varies the length of the ducts of inhalation YCC-I (Yamaha Chip-Controlled Intake) to optimise the respiration of the motor to different rotation regimes. Pistons close to spindles, connecting rods cemented and new water-supplies of the liquid of cooling provided with floating soul, complete the technical picture of this news, fascinating R1 2009.

Cup IMF velocity: Unbeatable Alessia Polita to Vallelunga

2009-04-06T00:04:00.000-07:00

Sun day on the footprint “Piero Taruffi“ of Vallelunga for the first proof of the Cup IMF, organised at the Gentlemen' s Motor Club of Rome in concomitance with the second stopping place of the Trophy of the Centaur.

Weekend to be framed for Alessia Polita (Yamaha - in the photo) that has dominated the female competition becoming necessary is in the Italian Championship in which in that European: the of the Marche ventitreenne is a strong game, accumulating suddenly an abysmal advantage and managing then the situation

At the small group of the inseguitrici Polish Jaworska is lopped before our Sharon Mermet, both on Yamaha, while in the plotoncino of the best they have fought also Roman Faith, a long time second and then fourth because of a doubled, and Alessia Falzoni, also their on Yamaha.

The Polished one has allowed twice in the class 600 Stocks of the Trophy of the Centaur with an analogous script: initial circles to great walk and then regular but unsustainable step for the pursuers; to underline also the third place of Paola Cazzola (Yamaha).

Great show has offered also the Kawasaki Ninja 250 Junior with absolutely 5 pilots in continuous brawl: she has been blunted by the Neapolitan Ciro Pizzo, shared from the pole position, which has preceded to the photofinish (only 4 thousandths!) Federico Massa then, lightly more distanced, There Them Touch Paolo, Benito Tarantino and Luca De Pretto.

Fear moments during the circle of reconnaissance of the Kawasaki 600 Ninja: the poleman Andrew Di Giannicola has almost stopped and has been plugged violently by Pietrobon and Chiurchiù; motion destroyed, it pilots to the hospital but fortunately without heavy consequences.

Also the "verdona" ZX-6R has offered show: Mark Ferroni and Lorenzo Renaudo have fought absolutely in six for the victory then they have lightly given the step and Florentine Mark Morreale has taken advantage of an overtaking exchange between Roberto Antonello and Michele De Luca to place his winning blow with a paw.

WSTK to Valencia

2009-04-05T03:53:00.000-07:00

Beginning on the GSX-R 1000 K9 wetted at the Champagne for Claudio Corti. The centaur of the team Alstare Suzuki Brux is awarded to itself the inaugural stopping place of the world Superstock 1000 2009, precendo on arrival Belgian Xavier Simeon (Ducati Xerox Junior Team) and French Maxime Berger (Ten Kate Honda Racing).

Claudio leaves suddenly to the big one managing to check the competition without particular problems. The detaching on the pursuers increases constantly circle after circle letting to the of Como ventunenne take the wide one without too many difficulties.

Simeon and Berger seem to take a hint suddenly and at half competition the oars aim in boat preferring to defend respectively the second one and the third step of the podium. Quarter is Javier Fores (Kawasaki Pedercini), fifth Barrell, sixth our Daniele Beretta.

More back we find Michele Magnoni (eighth), Andrew Antonelli (tenth), Denis Sacchetti (eighteenth on KTM), Niccolò Rosso (ventunesimo). Not at all flag to squares for Davide Giugliano, Luca Morelli and Federico Biaggi, out during the last circle.

MZ - one of the companies which has hardly worried an increasing pressure of competitors in the end of the last century.

And in 2008 in MZ and at all declared end of activity and manufacture dissolution.

However, apparently, that for legendary mark not all is lost. If to trust a note from motor-magazine Motorrad, two former German motor-racers Martin Wimmer and Ralf Waldman have got at Hong Leong the rights to trade mark MZ. Purchase cost is not informed, but, by estimations, it makes about 4-5 million euro.

At present, the company has collected new staff and is going to surprise us new workings out. We will look, whether can MZ begin to shine again in a close sky of the motor-market which is much covered as bright stars of the European and Japanese motor-giants, the promising Korean and Indian companies it is less, and incalculable scattering of the Chinese hardworking imitators and their importers.

Nevertheless, we will wish company MZ of good luck and we will count that shortly we will see some new models of motorcycles with the exclusive thought over design and a competitive technical component. By the way, on the hearings, a new management, considering a difficult economic situation, agrees about deliveries of some accessories with the Indian and Chinese companies. Really, if for BMW it is authorised to cut down expenses thus why and is not present for MZ?
