Yamaha YZF-R125 2011

2011-09-28T14:46:00.001+07:00

4-stroke, 4-valve, single cylinder, liquid-cooled, SOHC engine is tuned to deliver free-revving performance Yamaha YZF-R125 2011.

The YZF-R125 also has real racing pedigree, featuring the agressive styling of the R6 and R1 as well as a MotoGP inspired mid-ship exhaust.

The YZF-R125’s advanced engine combines a 4-valve cylinder head and fuel-injection for the best possible performance. The short stroke layout gives the engine a free-revving character, which when connected to the 6-speed gearbox, delivers lively acceleration.

With R-series style front cowling and twin fox-eye headlights, the YZF-R125 has the same aggressive supersport styling as the R1 and R6. Unlike many 125cc bikes, the R125 is built on a full-sized chassis providing a more comfortable riding position – especially for taller riders.

Yamaha is committed to using high-specification components – like the large diameter 292mm front disc brake units on the YZF-R125. The compact twin-pot caliper design on the front-brake combined with the 230mm rear disc ensures smooth, controlled braking at a range of speeds and assured stopping power when you need it.

The mid-ship Yamaha YZF-R125 2011 exhaust muffler contributes to centralise the bike’s mass for balanced handling, and houses dual catalysers for cleaner emissions. In addition, an Air Induction System introduces air into the exhaust for more complete combustion of exhaust gases, lowering emissions even further.

The combined digital and analogue panel Yamaha YZF-R125 2011 speedometer provides a clear view of all the bike’s vital functions at a glance.

The Yamaha YZF-R125 2011 features a lightweight Deltabox frame which delivers an optimum balance of strength and rigidity for class-leading handling performance. Complementing the frame is a lightweight cast aluminium swinging arm that allows the link-type rear suspension system to operate more efficiently and deliver more responsive handling qualities.

BMW HP2 Sport High Performance with 2D GP dashboard

2011-08-31T19:41:00.001+07:00

The engine of the new HP2 Sport is truly a masterpiece of engineering.
The raw numbers are enough to leave you in no doubt – this is a
power unit that is built with absolute performance in mind. It develops
133 horsepower (98 kW) at 8,750 rpm, and while its maximum torque
of 115 Nm is produced at 6,000 rpm, the boxer engine will rev all the
way up to 9,500 rpm. The HP2 Sport also features all-new cylinder
heads, with cam follower valve lifts attached to double overhead

Camshafts on each cylinder. There are four radial valves on each
cylinder, with valve plate diameters of 39 millimetres at the inflow
and 33 millimetres at the outflow. Other modifications such as
airflow-optimized intake and exhaust ports, new forged pistons
and redesigned connecting rods also contribute to the outstanding
performance. Two oil coolers, running in parallel one behind the
other, prevent the engine from overheating.

HP stands for High Performance. The HP2 Sport is a pure sportsbike,
and everything about it serves that end. Weight is reduced to an
absolute minimum, and radical design innovations abound. There
are a wealth of exclusive components, such as the adjustable Magura
master cylinders, adjustable milled foot pegs, and billet aluminium
top yokes, all designed and manufactured to the very highest quality
standards.

The bike also draws on BMW Motorrad’s extensive experience of
endurance racing. Everything from the gear shift assist to the carbon
fibre panels and 2D GP dashboard is designed solely with perform-
ance in mind. Riders will also love the Öhlins sport suspension, which
is adjustable for height and rebound/compression damping, and the
radially bolted Brembo monobloc brake system. BMW Motorrad ABS
is available as an option – for track use, this can be deactivated

The HP2 Sport represents the absolute pinnacle of boxer engine design. The BMW Motorrad designers have poured all their love of brilliant engineering and passion for detail into creating a thorough- bred sportsbike of the highest class.

As a genuine High Performance machine, there are no compromises in the HP2 Sport. Every detail right down to the last screw contributes to the handling and riding dynamics, so riders can push their abilities to the absolute limit. Thanks to components such as the carbon front fairing, self-supporting carbon tail section, and forged alloy wheels, the dry weight is an unbelievably light 178 kilograms. Combine this with the incredible engine and outstanding chassis, and you have a machine that is the sports rider’s dream.

Yamaha YFZ450R 2012 ATV

2011-07-04T20:20:00.001+07:00

The fuel-injected 449cc engine has superb power characteristics. Power delivery is smooth and strong off the line with lots of low and mid range where you need it.
The crankcase holds a crankshaft that’s ready to handle the increased balance ratio, as well as a counterbalancer for superior vibration control. The crankcase also houses the oil tank, which helps to centralize mass for unmatched handling and makes maintenance easier.
Camshafts are designed to maximize the torque available in the low and mid ranges.
Fuel injection uses a 12-hole injector that provides exceptional atomization of the fuel for maximum combustion efficiency and power delivery. The system also uses a big, 42mm Mikuni® throttle body and includes ISC (Idle Speed Control) for easy, reliable start-up and warming.

The prestigious “ATV of the Year” Award from ATV Sport Magazine. “Best in Class” from ATV/SxS Illustrated. Winner of shootout after shootout. The YFZ450R took ’em all – in its first model year, right out of the starting gate. This is one amazing ATV!
In ATV motocross, great power output doesn’t mean much without superior handling. YFZ450R delivers! The stance of the YFZ450R is motocross ready. The weldless frame is designed from lightweight aluminum, with a tension-steel bottom frame that lets the engine sit lower for excellent mass centralization. Suspension components have more travel, carefully chosen for best performance, and the front shock bodies feature Kashima coating for even smoother operation.
Fatigue can sometimes be a racer’s worst competition. That’s why the YFZ450R’s designers made this ATV so comfortable. It boasts racer friendly ergonomics with plenty of room to hang off in the corners, and the seat is padded just right to be more comfortable regardless of riding position. Handlebars are 4-position adjustable, too, so every rider can choose the best position, and the throttle has been designed for all day comfort.
This 449cc engine uses titanium five-valve cylinder head technology, with a camshaft designed just for this machine to deliver abundant low to midrange torque for performance where you can really use it to take the lead – while still maintaining a super strong top end to let you pull away from the pack.
The YFZ450R incorporates Yamaha Fuel Injection for precise fuel delivery. With big 42mm Mikuni® throttle body and 12-hole injector, this system provides exceptional atomization of the fuel for maximum power. The system also includes ISC (Idle Speed Control) for easy, reliable start-up and warming.
This ATV is designed to make race prep easy. Body panels come off easily for service; there’s no need to remove the battery or other components to get the fenders off. The aluminum frame is bolted together, rather than welded, for maximum durability. And the oil tank is integrated with the crankcase so it’s easier to service the engine.

The chassis is very spacious, allowing room for even an aggressive racer to move around during the moto, and the ATV’s body panels that the rider contacts during operation are of a softer plastic material for greater comfort. The seat is narrow in the front, yet wide and padded in the rear to provide a more comfortable ride, even when hanging off on the side of the seat in a turn.
The wheel has been designed with the inner lip rolled in. This increases the rigidity, allowing a reduction in weight while maintaining strength.
Wheels are set motocross-spec wide, near the maximum allowable 50 inches, for great cornering ability. The Dunlop® tires are grippy with a great pattern for cornering, and at 20 inches in the rear and 21 inches in the front, provide much better ground clearance than the competition. That makes the YFZ450R fun to ride off-road, too.
ProTaper® handlebars are mounted on 4-way clamps for exceptional adjustability. There are two sets of holes in the handlebar crown, and eccentric clamps so the rider can choose the standard setting, 10mm or 20mm forward, or 10mm back.
Foot pegs are a generous 2.6 inches wide, something riders will appreciate every time they want to get up on the pegs, with good kick-up on the ends for solid footing.
The frame is aluminum for lightweight, except for the frame member under the engine. Here tensioned steel is used for its combination of strength and thinness. This allowed the designers to sit the engine lower overall for excellent mass centralization for unmatched handling. The aluminum frame is bolted together, rather than welded, for maximum durability.
The front frame is noticeably narrow at the A-arm mounting points. This dramatically reduces changes in camber as the long A-arms travel through their full range of motion. The front 44mm KYB® shocks have Kashima coating for smooth operation with superb bump absorption and excellent anti-bottoming characteristics. The 9.8 inches of wheel travel means this racer is up to even the most challenging tracks.
The rear swingarm is crafted of strong, gravity-fed aluminum, and it’s matched to a fully adjustable 46mm KYB® piggyback shock absorber for excellent handling. Rear wheel travel is 11.0 inches for comfort even on tough terrain.
For excellent stopping ability, YFZ450R features dual front hydraulic disc brakes and a trick looking, lightweight wave-type rear rotor.

The throttle lever requires low effort, and it’s very comfortable to use. That means less fatigue during all-day riding.
The instrumentation is all business. The discrete panel on the fender in front of the rider gives vital indicators about low fuel, coolant temperature, check engine, and neutral gear via a straightforward LED display.

Bridgestone Battlax, rear tire for motorcycle

2011-07-02T22:08:00.001+07:00

Bridgestone has brought their performance packed MotoGP motorcycle tire advancements to the streets in the form of the Battlax BT016.
Bridgestone has constructed the Battlax BT016 tire with Mono Spiral Belt (MSB) technology.

The MSB construction is a continuous single strand wrapped around the circumference of the tire, which eliminates overlapping of the belts, seams and joints. What does all this mean? Your motorcycle will be more stable due to less internal heat generation with improved bump absorption.
Bridgestone has focused on all details of the Battlax BT016 including the tread.

The BT016 features L shaped grooves that enhance bump absorption and rear-end steering. Bridgestone also made sure the grooves do not cross to increase high speed durability.

The Battlax BT016 uses HTSPC (High Tensile Super Penetrated Cord), which is a first for a radial motorcycle tire. This technology allows the tire to be more flexible, provides more stability without reduction in bump absorption, and minimizes the generation of heat throughout the tire.

The Bridgestone Battlax BT016 boasts a 5LC triple compound design that provides ideal grip performance that is demanded for all riding styles. The center compound provides good stability.

Cockroaches can fight Superbugs (MRSA)

2011-06-07T10:11:00.001+07:00

God is great!!!,,,,,,,,,,,,

Cockroaches are often regarded as a disgusting animal, because it is identical to the places where dirty and unhygienic, you now need to give thanks to these ridiculous animals. Because according to new research cockroaches can fight superbugs such as MRSA and Escherichia coli (E. coli).

Based on research from the University Nortingham Simon Lee, UK, cockroaches and grasshoppers contain a powerful antibiotic molecule in their brain that can be used to develop new treatments against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and E. Coli.

In many countries MRSA (bacteria resistant to antibiotic drugs) has become a problem. MRSA caused 50 percent of all infections acquired from hospitals in the United States. In some European countries, on average 20,000 people die each year and about 10 percent of them had MRSA.

In research on cockroaches and locusts, scientists have identified up to nine different molecules and has the potential to be toxic to these super bacteria. The researchers also hope will pave the way for new treatments for a variety of drug resistant bacterial infections.

Based on the study to, brain tissue and nervous system of this insect can kill more than 90% of MRSA and E.coli bacteria, without harming human cells. Simon Lee, who will present his work at the meeting of the Association of Public Institution for Microbiology in Nottingham, said: "We hope that these molecules could eventually be developed into treatments for E. coli and MRSA infections are increasingly resistant to current drugs."

"The results of this study is also a potential new antibiotics could provide an alternative to drugs currently available and quite effective but have serious side effects and undesirable," said Lee.

Increased resistance to antibiotics due to the use of an inappropriate and self-medication, patient adherence, such as discontinuation of treatment, hygiene management is not enough, and do not follow proven practices.

Before making a big investment whether you’re hiring a painter or doing the job yourself turn to this book for a clear idea of what works and what doesn’t.

Drawing on years of experience running her own custom painting shop, JoAnn Bortles reviews the full array of options for paints, graphics, and effects. In an easygoing and engaging manner, and with photographs to illustrate her points, she explains the tools and techniques that apply in various paint schemes and shows what might work especially well in certain situations and for particular vehicles.

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1” Track Down and Destroy the Secret to Voldemort’s

2011-05-14T09:28:00.001+07:00

Harry, Ron and Hermione set out on their perilous mission to track down and destroy the secret to Voldemort’s immortality and destruction – the Horcruxes.

On their own and on the run, the three friends must now rely on one another more than ever…but Dark Forces in their midst threaten to tear them apart. Meanwhile the wizarding world has become a dangerous place.

The long-feared war has begun and the Dark Lord has seized control of the Ministry of Magic and even Hogwarts, terrorizing and arresting all who might oppose him. The Chosen One has become the hunted one as the Death Eaters search for Harry with orders to bring him to Voldemort…alive.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part I is a brooding, slower-paced film than its predecessors, the result of being just one half of the final story (the last book in the series was split into two movies, released in theaters eight months apart).

Because the penultimate film is all buildup before the final showdown between the teen wizard and the evil Voldemort (which does not occur until The Deathly Hallows, Part II), Part I is a road-trip movie, a heist film, a lot of exposition, and more weight on its three young leads, who up until now were sufficiently supported by a revolving door of British thesps throughout the series. Now that all the action takes place outside Hogwarts--no more Potions classes, Gryffindor scarves, or Quidditch matches--Daniel Radcliffe (Harry), Emma Watson (Hermione), and Rupert Grint (Ron) shoulder the film almost entirely on their own.

After a near-fatal ambush by Voldemort's Death Eaters, the three embark on a quest to find and destroy the remaining five horcruxes (objects that store pieces of Voldemort's soul). Fortunately, as the story gets more grave--and parents should be warned, there are some scenes too frightening or adult for young children--so does the intensity.

David Yates, who directed the Harry Potter films Order of the Phoenix and The Half-Blood Prince, drags the second half a little, but right along with some of the slower moments are some touching surprises (Harry leading Hermione in a dance, the return of Dobby in a totally non-annoying way).

Deathly Hallows, Part I will be the most confusing for those not familiar with the Potter lore, particularly in the shorthand way characters and terminology weave in and out. For the rest of us, though, watching these characters over the last decade and saying farewell to a few faces makes it all bittersweet that the end is near (indeed, an early scene in which Hermione casts a spell that makes her Muggle parents forget her existence, in case she doesn't return, is particularly emotional).

Despite its challenges, Deathly Hallows, Part I succeeds in what it's most meant to do: whet your appetite for the grand conclusion to the Harry Potter series. --Ellen A. Kim

The Tuono V4R is the only naked powered by a narrow V (65°) 4 cylinder engine with unique characteristics. Extremely compact, as slim as a twin-cylinder and installed in an ultra-compact chassis, the 65° V4 engine is the epitome of Italian engineering ingenuity. The Tuono gives away very little to its RSV4 sibling in terms of pure performance, but in exchange offers a greater fluidity that make it more enjoyable and rewarding to ride on the road and when carrying a passenger.

Power 167.3 hp at 11,500 rpm

Torque 111.5 Nm at 9,500 rpm

Rev limiter 12,300 rpm in all gears

To achieve these results, a number of different modifications were made to the Aprilia V4 engine:

• New valve timing diagram.

• Fixed intake ducts now 20 mm longer.

• Crankshaft flywheel with increased inertia for improved smoothness and overall balance.

Aprilia Shiver 750cc Designed to Minimise Fatigue, Generous Power Delivery and Torque

2011-05-02T21:36:00.001+07:00

Shiver is a thrill that Shines in the world of nakeds, that brings us unrivalled excitement, Solutions and technologies. it is a project with a single-minded objective: to satisfy your passion in every possible way. its multimap engine, top quality chassis and two versions of impressive componentry are totally in tune with your style of living and riding. Sporty ergonomics, aggressive graphics and technical contents accentuate the personality of the Shiver 750. ideal for out-of-town trips alone or with a passenger, the comfortable and protective Shiver 750 gt comes complete with storage compartments
and is also available in the abs version. make all of your dreams come
true with aprilia.

A top fairing and lateral intake ducts in true racing style, composite frame with red trellis, black exhaust covers and two-tone graphics are just a few of the many contents and details that underscore its sports spirit with
the force of Aprilia’s technology and design.

Aprilia shiver looks like from the top, its so sexy…

The narrow saddle, aft-mounted footpegs and handlebar position make riding ergonomic and sporty for riders of all statures and levels of experience. The Wave front and rear disc brakes let you safely tackle
the road with exhilarating aggressiveness. The separate and removable passenger footpegs also give the Shiver 750 an extra touch of sportiness.

Electronic control of the power supply provides the ideal torque in all conditions. Latest generation electronic fuel management makes it
possible to better handle the 95 hp at 9,000 rpm, optimising torque delivery across the rev range for a bike that is easy, efficient and fun to ride.
Aprilia was the first to introduce this technology on a production bike, revolutionising both riding pleasure and ease. The Ride-By-Wire system, which optimises power delivery, emissions and fuel consumption in relation to engine speed, gear selected, throttle grip aperture and closure speed,
temperature and atmospheric pressure, offers impeccable rideability and fluidity in all conditions.

The rider can change the character of the V90° engine by simply touching a button on the throttle hand with the thumb. Simply cycle through the three maps displayed on the instrument panel screen and select the one required: Sport, Touring, Rain. The letter representing the selected map flashes on the screen and, the next time you open the throttle, you will note that the bike personality has changed significantly!

The analogue-digital instrument panel is a genuine on board computer receiving and processing a whole host of information via the CAN line and equipped with its own memory for self-diagnostics. The LCD display, with adjustable backlighting for optimum visibility in all conditions, provides the rider with a comprehensive set of information: gear engaged, map selected, ambient temperature, trip time and clock.

100% made in italy, engineered and constructed entirely by aprilia, the 90° v-twin offers performance comparable to that of a four cylinder of the same class, with incredible elasticity and rideability. the 90° v configuration allows for remarkable results in terms of performance and compactness.
exciting and potent when you want to carve through the turns, smooth and linear when you want to enjoy the scenery on a longer journey, and reliable, thanks to aprilia experience and quality.

The hydraulic multiplate wet clutch is self-adjusting, for smooth, millimetre
precise engagement and maintenance-free use.

The chassis, which has always been one of aprilia’s strong points, is a
composite frame with the upper tubular steel part connected to large,
aluminium side plates on the Shiver, an admirable synthesis of rigidity and light weight. this work of sculpture emerges from aprilia’s experience on the racing circuits and allows the engine power to be used to full advantage.

Every component of the chassis exudes authentic sporting passion. The dimensions and configuration of the aluminium swingarm are specifically defined for maximum stiffness even when the bike is ridden hard.

The shock absorber is mounted laterally not just for an aesthetic reason, but because this solution frees up space for the centrally located exhaust manifold, allowing for perfectly symmetrical weight distribution. The lateral shock absorber, pivoted directly on the swingarm, features adjustable spring preload and hydraulic rebound.

The upside-down fork with 43 mm diameter stanchions and a wheel travel of
120 mm, lets the rider tackle any road with precision, comfort and safety. The steering yokes are in forged aluminium for maximum lightness and strength in true motorsports style.

If you want to enjoy effectiveness, thrills and spontaneity of riding to the utmost with extraordinary personality and style, then Shiver 750 GT is the ideal sport touring bike for you. Its new sharp and surrounding top fairing makes the design of this bike even more seductive, and its protection, even more complete in all conditions. The storage compartments with 12V socket keep all comforts within reach all of the time. A riding position designed to minimise fatigue, generous power delivery and torque on tap whenever you need it mean that any journey can be tackled with extraordinary ease and
confidence. The version with two-channel ABS offers the peace of mind of even greater active and passive safety, even in the most challenging situations.

Perfectly in keeping with the spirit of the bike, the top fairing of the Shiver
750 GT includes two practical storage compartments which are easily
accessible even when on the move. The fairing also boasts a 12V socket
for powering a GPS receiver, a battery charger or other accessories.

Shiver proclaims its sports character with a radial calliper braking system: a solution derived directly from motorsports. The 320 mm front discs are the same components used on Aprilia’s hypersports models: the result is outstanding braking performance and precision. Both the front and rear brake systems use metal braid pipes: another racing solution for
class leading braking performance.

In collaboration with Continental, Aprilia has developed an ABS system specifically calibrated for each of the two Shiver models to ensure maximum safety even in the worst road conditions. This innovative two channel system manages the front and rear brakes separately with a sophisticated
electronic control that monitors the speed of the two wheels in real time. Safety first and foremost, whether you are pushing the bike to its limits in the most challenging turns or if you are suddenly faced with an unforeseen hazard.

Wow!!! Losses due to Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan reached 309 billion U.S. dollars

2011-03-29T23:20:00.001+07:00

That Number are very fantastic, $309 billion U.S. Dollar???. Wow!!. .

The Japanese government, as reported by AP news agency on Wednesday (March 23, 2011), said the losses due to earthquake and tsunami that struck the country early this month could reach U.S. $ 309 billion.

Can you count them correctly, hehe.. that’s a lot of money.

It is a calculation of the Cabinet Office of Japan from total devastation that occurred in infrastructure, residential buildings, and offices in Japan.

The Japanese government plans to inject fresh funds into banks as loan funds for companies that are trying to rise from the devastating disaster. The funds are planned to be taken from emergency fund of U.S. $ 135 billion, which is prepared at the breaking of Lehman Brothers in 2008. In addition, Tokyo is also currently preparing soft loans amounting to U.S. $ 122 billion to help companies that were damaged by earthquake.

Good news,,,I hope everyone can re-live their lives as before, and no one tried to take advantage of this disaster.

Valuable Lessons from the Japanese Earthquake 2011

2011-03-27T01:22:00.001+07:00

March 11, 2011 Japan has been rocked by such a devastating earthquake, 8.9 on Richter scale.

8.9 Richter scale earthquake is a very great size, could damage any buildings within radius of hundreds of kilometers. You can imagine how much damage it caused.

One thing that makes this natural disaster from getting worse is the destruction of nuclear power plant building.

Complications resulting damage will be more severe and long and widespread impact if not handled properly.

Nuclear radiation is likely to spread to various countries.

We are very concerned with natural and humanitarian disasters that happen in Japan. Help our friends in Japan with the help of what we might have.

If you have excess energy, help with energy. If you have more material, help with the property you have. if you do not have anything to donate, Helps our friends in Japan with a prayer.

No matter how small our help, would be very meaningful for those who really need it.

Many parts of the Japanese state has been razed to the ground due to tsunami. Help people of Japan to rebuild their home again, so they can live decent again and forget the incident.

Events that impinge on nuclear power plant has made us all understand and comprehend how big the risk it causes. For that we need a more in-depth research to find a safe alternative energy to meet world demand for energy.

Wind-turbine and water-turbine generator need to be researched more deeply in order to produce a large energy with the smallest possible physical form. As we know that to generate 3MW electricity required one hectare area, that's mean generator building height needed is reach 100 meters high.

German Scientists Developed Car Driven with Driver's Brain

2011-02-23T14:27:00.001+07:00

German scientists have developed a car that can be used without the need driven. driver's brain would determine the direction and the vehicle was moving as desired.

The driver was wearing a special headset - originally designed for video games - which have sensors and connected to the vehicle electronic devices wirelessly.

Brain driver only needs to "think" like "turn left", "turn right" and added speed.

Equipment named BrainDriver worked with to get input from a variety of video cameras in vehicles, radars and sensors. The supply of such data can provide 3-dimensional views of the surrounding cars.

Special headset consists of 16 sensors that charge capture the brain electromagnetic signals.

Computer translated the signal. In the pilot, the driver can steer left or right turning vehicles although there is little lag between the time you give the command to move the vehicle.

In the 2nd test, the vehicle was "trained" to recognize the turn left, turn right, plus the gas and brake pressure.

The project was conducted by a team AutoNOMOS, one unit of the Artificial Intelligence Group, which owned Freie Universität in Berlin.

The researchers suggested their work a new concept and "still far from the engine control technology with the brain.

Luxury Electric Car Will Launch Soon

Super luxury car manufacturer Rolls-Royce will launch soon their electric car.

The price? zero-emission vehicle is said to be priced around 1 million pounds. He will be introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in early March. The name of the pass is EXP 102, EXP stands for "experimental."

Rolls-Royce Phantom is based on the type that cost 300 thousand pounds. Daily Mail writes that the vehicle battery can be recharged using household electricity.

Usually, the Rolls-Royce will introduce the vehicle "experimental" it to the whole world, especially for the superrich. After that, they opened a new order and start producing.

The manufacturer based in Goodwood, Sussex, England, said "Today, Rolls-Royce Motor justify the development of the 102EX, Phantom is entirely powered by electricity, to be introduced at the Geneva Motor Show on March 1, 2011."

mechanical energy absorbing aluminum able to reduce car accident victims

2011-02-19T13:50:00.001+07:00

Soft hood and curl up into the moment of collision is believed to be able to save the life of the victim who was hit from the front of the car.

The scientists developed a "mechanical energy absorbing aluminum" in the sheet metal. Gazette will be sinking into.

The technology is believed to significantly reduce the victims of the cyclists and pedestrians if hit by a vehicle.

"Pedestrian-friendly hood" was developed by scientists at Cellbond with colleagues at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge.

One vehicle manufacturers have expressed interest to use the technology on their vehicles, but the researchers did not want to mention the plant.

Professor Hassan Shirvani from Anglia Ruskin University, said the pilot was designed to reduce head injury by 60 percent of the victims of a collision.

"When a collision, pedestrians have a dynamic force on the hood," he said. "If the collision kinetic energy is not absorbed by the hood of the engine will experience a force equivalent to that caused injuries."

Technology absorb bump on the head between 50 and 60 percent through the soft structure. 20 percent of victims killed in traffic accidents in Europe are pedestrians and cyclists.

Maruti will be the flying car from india

2011-02-16T11:55:00.001+07:00

An Indian inventor boast that he can makes car fly into a reality. "Raw materials" it is a hatchback Maruti 800 cc of the rotor blades fitted on the roof and the tire is replaced with "vacuum section.

The vehicle was to be one of the stars in the Aero India 2011 in Bangalore.

Maruti is the vehicle of Indian origin who in 80'an made by Suzuki. Vehicles that become the basis for the dream of the inventor, AK Vishwanath (52).

16 years he's been working on it and Fly Maruti vehicles that he can ride upright (vertical lift-off) and have been tested in wind tunnels.

AK Vishwanath So far they have yielded 40 patents. His inspiration, among others, from the ability of flying bees.

He explained that the first vehicle that uses electric generator and the engine pumping "energy flow" for lift-off and fly surf.

B'Lorean Vishwanath give the company name, derived from "B" to the place of origin, Bangalore, and the famous DeLorean sports car in the movie Back To The Future.

Unfortunately, Maruti Flying was not really flying, so many people are skeptical. Vehicles were not allowed to broadcast until a certificate of India Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).

Vishwanath said several companies had approached to finance the project but he said "Talk to the business only after all the design in the wrong paperwork."

Flying Car like Ghostbuster vehicles???

2011-02-16T11:37:00.001+07:00

Previously, some delusional old thinkers who appeared in Tomorrow's World or Blue Peter, showing off some floating hatchback or with-wings-Cortina. They boasted it would become a reality but in fact never existed.

Finally, there is an easy car to be flown, taking ordinary gasoline and actually exists.

Guardian reported, Roadable Aircraft Transition flying car created by an American company Terrafugia, were airborne and able to switch between driving and flying in about 20 seconds.

Well, finally, in 2011, there are measures of other companies. This year the American company called Terrafugia will "produce low-volume" Transition Roadable Aircraft.

This original car, not a delusional, can be bought and actually flying car. The car was a bit like Ghostbuster vehicles with folding wings and will be priced between 125,000 pounds and 160,000 pounds. Carl Dietrich, CEO Terrafugis hopes to sell 200 per year.

"Many people say they never thought the car was actually produced. However, we already have and now can drive and fly, and change between them in 20 seconds," said Dietrich.

Terrafugia (Latin for "escape from land") was founded by Dietrich and a team that includes pilots and aeronatika engineers .

Partly funded by the United States Department of Defense, and they already secretly working on the vehicle in Woburn, Mass., since 2006, and is now almost ready to start selling.

new Transition Owners must have 20 hours of flight before getting permission mechanical flapping wings and take off.

Colonel Phil Meeter, the first person to fly the Transition in the trial in upstate New York in 2009, saying "My daughter can do this! Anyone can do it!" Meeter said.

flying car has a range of less than 500 miles (enough for a flight from London to Zurich, Switzerland) and will run at a speed of 115mph.

American companies that target the American consumer. Terrafugia flying car equipped to accommodate luxury.

The car has a touch-screen controls in the cockpit, and "cargo area of a golf club." With wings tucked-up Transition mode can be filled regular gasoline at the gas station and parked in the garage usual. The car also has a parachute that has a built-in.

Yamaha Lexam “moped and matic motorcycle combination”

2011-02-12T15:58:00.001+07:00

yamaha lexam will satisfy your taste who want a combination of mopeds models with automatic transmission machine.

Mopeds are popular for their ease of ride and convenience in daily use. Because they are often shared by family members, the market has been calling for models with automatic transmission. However, the length of conventional CVT units designed for scooters was a problem when applying them to mopeds, thus creating the need for a far more compact CVT unit design. Yamaha Motor answered this need by developing the Y.C.A.T. as a core technology featuring a high-elasticity, heat resistant resin drive belt with optimized sheave (pulley) design and an optimized belt-chamber cooling function to create a unit compact enough for the new model that retains the look and feel of a moped.

Synthetic Gasoline is it Really Safe???

2011-02-05T21:26:00.001+07:00

The fuel used by Cella Energy is hydrogen base. Just a different way of packaging or shape. Hydrogen is no longer cooled or thawed. Because it also does not need high pressure tank.

Cella Energy exploit the advantages of nano-structures. Furthermore, hydrogen or hydride packed with coaxial electrospinning process with micro-fibers of the polymer. Twenty-third fiber size diameter of a human hair. Furthermore, the structure of the hydride fuel is encased by the polymer core. The exterior serves as a safety and protective hydrides, as well as a filter (chemistry). Therefore, this concept is considered 100 percent safe plus the cost of production is cheaper.

In this way, hydrogen refilling can be done in a few minutes only, such as gasoline or diesel. It takes only a few modifications. It is said, can also be used in vehicles with fuel cell system (hydrogen present).

tank for this fuel or synthetic gasoline is still the conventional form and are placed as the position now. Because it does not require high pressure or low temperature, the existing infrastructure can be directly used.

The concept is the same as pouring the additive into gasoline. Density or energy content can be tailored to the needs of the industry!

CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide The Art of Motorcycle

2011-02-01T21:03:00.001+07:00

All the quality. All the legacy of the Harley-Davidson name. Plus custom touches and performance that distinguish you from every other bike on the road. Sure there's a little vanity. Premium custom paint. Big, tricked-out wheels. The perfect storm of engineering and style you'll only find on a custom machine. And you'll spoil yourself with the accessories from comfort to electronics to chrome. But the real signature of a Harley-Davidson Custom Vehicle Operations motorcycle is the explosive power and sleek detailing of the huge Screamin Eagle engine. It's custom-built, not just for anyone, but for true connoisseurs of the road.

These injection-molded hard bags have room for 2.26 cu. ft. volume of long-haul luxuries and a perfect surface for showing off some premium paint. Even better, these saddlebags open from the top, so your gear won't end up spilled all over the highway. They keep your fancy unmentionables dry, and the chrome latches won't corrode in bad weather. And when you're off the road, one common key starts the bike and gives you access to your saddlebags, keeping your pockets as uncluttered as your bike's refined design.The premium Tour-Pak adds to the luxury look and gives you even more space to pack stuff for the road. And we add another layer to the mix with exclusive Custom Vehicle Operations saddlebag and Tour-Pak carry-out liners. Dual-direction zippers for more access. Side pockets for your quick-reach items like cell phones, keys and wallet. Rubber bottoms that keep the insides dry and clean, and d-rings let you clip on attachments and shoulder straps for easy transport.

The back end of the CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide model demonstrates once again the premium style and innovative engineering you'll find with the Custom Vehicle Operations at Harley-Davidson. The taillight features an integrated wraparound brake light for a clean look. And with its wraparound coverage, you get additional style, increased visual footprint at night and long-lasting LEDs that just keep burning on.

The premium custom look goes the distance on the CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide model with the chrome dual exhaust. Featuring 4-inch touring mufflers, chrome billet end caps with black spears and chrome touring exhaust shields. Relish in the rumble and performance of these high-end pipes.

Aggressive yet balanced, every element of the CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide model is painstakingly designed to deliver the most luxurious riding experience and that includes the custom contrast chrome Roulette wheels. With a 16-inch wheel in the rear and 17-inch in the front, this Ultra boasts a smooth, nimble, slick ride no matter where your journey takes you.

Just like the most precious stone on Earth, the diamond-cut gauges on the CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide model speak to the custom, high-end look of the bike. Precise, crisp in every line, reading their displays reminds you every time that you are rolling on an exclusive motorcycle made by a legendary American company.

Individually crafted and hand finished, high-impact paint and graphics come standard on all Harley-Davidson Custom Vehicle Operations motorcycles. Concentrated metal flecking adorns the exclusive color scheme for a light-catching candy appearance. A subtle drop shadow emerges from beneath the hand painted pinstripe flames outlined in striking accent colors. Skimping simply is not in our vocabulary.

Harley-Davidson fuel tanks are finished by hand that's what makes them stand out from the competition. Their seamless design and unmatched style are unique among all motorcycles on the road. The tanks are one of the first and last things people notice when they lay their eyes on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle so we make it worth their time. And a classically styled, bold six-gallon fuel tank doesn't just give you a bigger canvas for premium or custom paint; it holds six gallons of go so you can eat up a lot more road between pit stops.

The knowledge of what makes an engine truly move a rider runs deep at The Motor Company, and it was put to good use when we created the Screamin' Eagle Twin Cam 110 engine. We sweated bullets perfecting every cubic inch, pushing design and technology forward. And we did it all without compromising one bit of Harley-Davidson's unique styling. Evolved, yet carrying on the legacy of the Flathead, Knucklehead, Panhead, Shovelhead, Evolution and Twin Cam 88 engines that came before. The performance and durability are a direct result of the untold miles logged on the V-Twin since 1909, and the proud heritage that comes from a century's worth of commitment to life on two wheels.

Fire up the Twin Cam 110 engine and feel the low-end torque unleashed. The colossal 110 cubic inches provide seemingly endless torque with adrenaline-pumping pull through all six gears. Boasting the largest-displacement V-Twin engine by Harley-Davidson, the Twin Cam 110 produces 115 ft. lbs. of torque at 4000 rpm. Six speeds. A strong driveline and strong internal parts. Low routine maintenance. And a low cruising rpm couldn't feel better.

Feast your eyes on the Twin Cam 110 engine and there's no mistaking its roots. This is authentic Harley-Davidson style through and through with an attention to detail you won't find from any other motorcycle company. Granite heads and cylinders feature machined cooling fin tips and are highlighted by chrome rocker covers. Exclusive to Custom Vehicle Operations, the granite powertrain and 110 badging are unapologetically distinguished. It's a jewel machined out of metal. Pure. Dripping with power. From the classic edge of the cooling fins to the clean lines of cases and covers the Twin Cam 110 engine makes an ironclad statement to holding on to what's right and staying true to what satisfies the rider.

You want a ride that rumbles not begs for mercy when you lean on it a little. The Six-Speed Cruise Drive transmission provides smooth, quiet shifting and reduces engine speed on the highway, so you get a better match between engine turnover and road speed. And the Isolated Drive System makes acceleration flow in a smooth, steady stream from your wrist right down to the pavement. It's a rare ride when a bike responds like this, and a low growl goes a long way when you're opening up the road ahead.

Performance gets the custom treatment on Custom Vehicle Operations motorcycles. The addition of a high-performance clutch with hydraulic actuation helps make sure you're getting a smooth, confident feel with just the right amount of effort and a hands-off reliability that's only fitting. And you'll love the confidence and control it lends when harnessing those 110 cubic inches of Screamin' Eagle power.

Everything about the Screamin' Eagle Twin Cam 110 Engine is a testament to the premium styling and performance you get with a limited Custom Vehicle Operations motorcycle. Right smack between the engine jugs rests the high-flow "ventilator" intake with high-flow filter element, back plate, diamond-cut Screamin' Eagle badge and protective rain sock. Your bike will breathe easy while the increased air flow boosts the raw power. Unique and exclusive. That is what Custom Vehicle Operations is all about.

Iconic, fierce, the most distinct decibels you'll ever hear bouncing off city canyons or scenic country landscapes. The sound of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle has a rich history of its own. It's a classic roar. It's the sound of freedom, soul and self-expression.

Naturally, the king of the road gets some royal extras. The premium Harman Kardon audio system boasts great sound for booming down the boulevard and highway, and, yeah, it might as well go to 11. It's loud, proud and comes with AM/FM receiver, CD and MP3 player, 4 speakers (2 up front and 2 in the rear) with an amplifier that distributes 40 watts per channel even an intercom and CB. When it comes to hearing your tunes or just keeping your own chatter free and easy, this system has it all.

You may know where you're headed, but this little dandy helps you get more out of every mile. The quick-mount cradle makes it easy to mount and detach and it plays nice with the bike's tight lines. Designed by bikers for bikers, it's preloaded with City Navigator NT street maps and markers for H-D dealers, motels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and anything else you might need while out on the road.

When it comes to the CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide model with ABS, "stopping power" has a double meaning. The components of our ABS are tastefully hidden within the wheel hub, so you'll still turn heads with a clean, streamlined design. More importantly, though, you get certainty in the saddle knowing your bike's going to behave when you need it.

Harley-Davidson touring means maximum comfort in all conditions and the capacity to add whatever enhances and personalizes your ride. The high output charging system provides an electrical capacity robust enough for your add-ons: heated vests, lights to showcase the engine, you name it. So if you're hell-bent on two-wheeling it, we make sure you've got the juice to do it your way.

Whether you need a quick charge for your cell phone or dinner from a hotplate on a lonely stretch of road, knowing you've got 15 amps of power to get through the day or night goes a long way. And don't worry about pesky rain spoiling your power supply the spring-loaded cap keeps the receptor dry and free of road muck.

If you're ready to take Touring to the next level, the cruise control feature will help you settle in for the long haul. Get the comfort of the cruise without the cables cluttering up your handlebar. Our electronic throttle control technology makes it possible to have the best of both worlds.

The factory installed next-generation security system with siren features a hands-free fob that automatically arms and disarms the vehicle electronic security functions as you approach and walk away from the bike. Stick the fob on your ignition key ring and let it do all the work. For additional peace of mind, the automatic bike lock features a key fob that locks the ignition, Tour-Pak and saddlebags so you won't have to worry about leaving your valuables tucked away on your ride. It's this attention to details and rider security that make Harley-Davidson motorcycles unique.

Harley-Davidson leverages the latest in technology without compromising style and function. That means we hide electronics. The whole wiring harness is skillfully routed behind the jewels of the bike, the tank, engine and all the other eye-popping features you want to see. It's just another way The Motor Company goes the extra mile to give its bikes that premium, top-of-the-line fit and finish.

Hand controls on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle are incredibly intuitive. The turn signals are self-canceling and, based on the speed and angle of the motorcycle, they know how long to stay on. Engaging the controls quickly becomes second nature so you can focus less on turning off your signal and more on basking in the freedom of the ride.

A true Touring bike has to be tough enough to take on thousands of miles for years to come. Our Touring chassis is designed to do just that. Based on a single-spar, rigid backbone frame and swingarm, it easily handles the hum of that big Screamin' Eagle engine, and it's built to last. Perfect for riders that always take the scenic route.

Confidence. Control. High-performance dual disc Brembo brakes offer consistent stopping power. The 4-piston front and rear calipers with dual front rotor brake system is state of the art and top of the line. It's just another way The Motor Company puts a high level of detail into their bikes to give you peace of mind throughout your journey.

With air-adjustable suspension that comes standard, you can dial in your ride to accommodate heavier or lighter payloads, unexpected road conditions or simply set it to how you like to roll. The lighter the load, the softer you can go by decreasing the air pressure a bit, or increase the air pressure for a more rigid ride. It's all about rider and passenger comfort and setting your bike to fit your taste the easy way.

Harley-Davidson motorcycles are different than any other bike out on the road. There's a balance to them. The steering, the maneuverability It's all in concert. And each Harley-Davidson model is tuned differently to create a unique riding experience for each individual no matter which bike they swing their leg over. Let's face it, we didn't get to where we are by being like everyone else.

Need help convincing someone to let you buy your Custom Vehicle Operations dream bike? Or just to come touring with you? This seat's for them. Its suspended, dual-control luxury offers the ultimate in touring comfort for both rider and passenger. The monogrammed CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide backrest is plush and cozy, with adjustable lumbar support. The seat is heated to please the most finicky of hangers-on. A new suspension feature acts as a secondary shock absorber. And the seat itself has even been reshaped. It sits lower and it's trimmed in at the thighs for an ultra-comfortable ride mile after mile.

Don't be a prisoner to the elements outside take control of your ride with the color-matched fairing lowers on the CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide model. Slide them open for a cooler ride or leave them fixed to fight the wind tooth and nail. Use the glove boxes to empty your pockets, ditch your phone, and ride free. When it comes to Touring, Harley-Davidson Custom Vehicle Operations is all about optimal comfort every time you hunt down a horizon.

Your boots were made for riding, in any way you see fit. Our full-length rider footboards boast a tried and true design that's stood the test of time. Rubber vibration isolation offers a comfortable ride every time. And heel and toe shifting makes getting through the gears quick and easy. Plus, height adjustable passenger boards add another level of comfort for your riding partner.

The 2-1-2 exhaust helps direct heat away from the rider and passenger, while providing ample performance, and signature Harley-Davidson rumble, and big style.

Synthetic Gasoline Only 1.50 U.S. dollars???

2011-02-01T13:51:00.001+07:00

According to Stephen Voller, CEO of Energy Cella, high energy content of synthetic gasoline is very high and is packaged as capsules using nanostruktur technique called “coaxial electrospraying”.

This synthetic gasoline was cheaper compared with the results of mining gasoline, only 1.50 U.S. dollars per gallon!!!.

Synthetic gasoline was discovered by a British company, Cella Energy. The technology was developed from material that is called “complex hydrides”. Synthetic fuel development process has been going on for four years in a highly secret program at the famous laboratory, Rutherd Appleton Laboratory near Oxford, England.

Another plus, can be directly used on current gasoline engine without modification and does not generate carbon emissions. Well, of course you can imagine, the hope of conventional machine manufacturer can live again when threatened by an electric car.

“We have developed micro-fuel pellets that can be used on machines that were using gasoline. Can be used without having to modify the engine, “said Voller.

Because it comes from hydrogen, combustion process produces no carbon emissions. Research to find gasoline is led by Professor Stephen Bennington, in collaboration with scientists from University College London and University of Oxford.

“Our technology comes from the material called” complex hydrides’, namely hydrogen. Packaged like a capsule with a unique process (patented). Therefore, storage and handling easier and safer than the gasoline used today. “clear professor Stephen Bennington who became Head of Research at the Cella Energy.

Ducati Hypermotard 796

2011-01-17T20:41:00.003+07:00

The Hypermotard concept created an innovative segment that bridged the gap between hyper-sports bikes and supermotards. In essence, it took the high speed handling and smooth engine from a hyper-sport bike and combined it with the aggressive styling, lightweight minimalism and slow corner precision of a supermotard.
The result is an easy to handle motorcycle with unbelievable agility, incredibly sure-footed handing and a flexible engine that deals with city traffic just as easily as a spirited ride through the winding mountain roads.
The 796 engine is a completely brand new, lightweight Desmodue power unit designed to provide the torquey, smooth and enjoyable character famous of all Desmodromic L-Twins.
The 2-1-2 catalytic exhaust system uses an efficient pre-silencer configuration with twin lambda probes providing finer fuel mapping and Euro3 conformity. The system’s lightweight and compact design is achieved by using 1mm thick tubing and terminates in Ducati’s trademark twin under-seat, black exhaust mufflers, stylishly contrasted with great looking aluminium end caps.

Twin 305mm semi-floating discs gripped by radially mounted 4-piston Brembo callipers provide powerful and progressive front-end braking with that all-important rider-friendly ‘feeling’, while the rear is equipped with a 245mm disc and 2-piston calliper, also by Brembo.

The orange back-lit display provides an extensive amount of data including speed, revs, time, oil temperature, battery voltage, A & B trips, fuel reserve trip and scheduled maintenance, while the warning lights illuminate for neutral, turn signals, high-beam, rev-limit, oil pressure and fuel reserve. In addition, it can list recorded lap times by using the high-beam flash button as a stopwatch.

The headlamp uses a highly compact lighting shape which blends with the single piece nose fairing and front fender moulding, while the rear light employs a specially designed strip of LEDs enhanced by a high diffusion lens shaped into the sleek lines of the tailpiece. The same LEDs are intensified under braking. The front directional indicators also employ the latest in LED technology for illumination, and are ingeniously integrated into the handguards which support the foldable rear view mirrors. The high intensity LED rear light assembly is moulded into a unique tailpiece positioned high behind the seat.

The challenge of maintaining a clean, racing look around the handlebar area, motivated the design of the folding mirror concept which is based on the handguards typically found on off-road bikes. Flipped out for high visibility street mode and easily folded in for a quick change to ‘Hypermode’, the mirror handguard assemblies also integrate the LED directional indicators for an even cleaner front-end.

1998-99: winner of 41 titles of dirt track and long track in Australia

As a toddler Casey Stoner displayed a passion and talent for motorbike riding that was extraordinary, even by the standards of his bike-mad family. By the age of three he'd already graduated from pushing his older sister's (Kelly) 50cc Peewee around the yard to taking his first ride on his own.

At four years of age Casey competed in his first race in the under 9s category at the Hatchers dirt racing track on the Gold Coast. By the age of six he had won his first Australia title. Many, many hours of riding, travelling and long nights working on bikes followed. Between the ages of 6 and 14 Casey raced all over Australia, travelling with his father (Colin), mother (Bronwyn) and sister (Kelly).
In that time Casey won 41 Australian dirt and long track titles and over 70 State titles, riding up to 5 bikes at a meeting in different capacity categories.

Casey could not legally road race in Australia until he was 16, but had decided he was ready for the challenge. So the decision was made to move to England where Casey was already of legal age to race. A big risk to take, but it paid off.
Casey was lucky enough and talented enough to attract immediate sponsorship after just one race in England. He went on to take out the English 125cc Aprilia Championship in 2000, in his first year of road racing.
In that year he also raced two rounds of the Spanish 125cc Championship. It was there he was noticed by GP great Alberto Puig. Alberto was impressed by Casey's determination and skill and invited him to race for the Telefonica Movistar Team in the 125cc Spanish Championships the next year.

In 2001 Casey raced in both the English and Spanish championships in the same year managing to come second in both championships. In that same year he was also granted wildcard entries into the MotoGP 125cc world series, in both England and Australia.
Straight onto a 250cc machine in his rookie year, and at only 16 years of age, Casey demonstrated his ability and speed with results. His best result for the year was a 5th at Brno as well as several 6th place finishes.

In 2003 he went on to ride for Lucio and Safilo Oxydo LCR in the 125cc GP series and took four podium finishes and his first race win, in Valencia, at the end of the season. His first win in a GP race was a huge turning point for Casey and his career.
In 2004, at 18 years of age, Casey moved to KTM for a season where he helped to develop the team's 125cc bike into a winning machine. That year he made it to the podium six times and took KTM's first ever win in a GP class.
2005 saw Casey once again come back under the welcoming umbrella of Lucio Cecchinello's team, this time riding an official 250cc Aprilia.
Finally in 2006, at twenty years of age, Casey accomplished his long held ambition of racing in MotoGP, the fastest and most prestigious of the classes. He set pole position in his second MotoGP race in Qatar and battled for the win until the final corner in the GP of Turkey, finishing runner-up just a fraction behind winner Melandri. Too many errors conditioned the second part of the year, but Casey, in finishing eighth overall in his rookie MotoGP season, demonstrated that he was in amongst the elite group, of which he is the youngest rider.

In 2007 Casey Stoner has joined the Ducati MotoGP Team alongside Loris Capirossi, with whom he has struck up a good friendship. In winter testing he has often been amongst the pacesetters and has proved to have rapidly adapted to the Desmosedici GP7 and Bridgestone tyres. Stoner won the first grand prix of the season, the first ever 800cc grand prix, and had his first win in the MotoGP class. After that the young Australian took other nine wins, four further podium finished and scored five pole positions. On September 23rd, in Japan, Stoner secured Ducati's first MotoGP World Championship becoming the first rider in over 30 years to win the MotoGP title on a European made bike and the second youngest premier-class World Champion, after American legend Freddie Spencer who won his title in 1983, and at the time was 84 days younger than the 21 year old Stoner.

The following year Stoner set out to defend his title and began his quest with a fantastic victory in the first GP to be held at night, in Qatar, but this was followed by a series of highs and lows that saw him lose ground in the classification. Improvement towards the end of the season with two podiums and another two convincing wins, in Australia and at the final round in Valencia, meant that Stoner closed the season as the vice-champion of 2008 with the highest ever points score. Ducati is the manufacturer to have taken the most victories thus far in the 800cc class, with 17 wins in 36 races.

In 2009 Stoner is again involved in the fight for the MotoGP title, in a season that is characterized by both successes and difficult moments. The Australian rider, after the success of the opening race and his first podium at Jerez with Ducati, also awards the Italian manufacturer with its first ever win at Mugello. Unfortunately for Casey, he is hindered by a physical problem that forces him to sit out three races mid-season. It is a very difficult decision for the Australian, which eliminates his chances of winning the title. Stoner steps onto the podium at Estoril and then wins the next two races in Australian and Malaysia. Casey concludes 2009 in fourth position but knows he has regained his speed and physical strength. In the post-race testing at Valencia he appears to be very much at ease with the innovations introduced by Filippo Preziosi and Ducati's technicians for the GP10 bike.

WR450F and YZ450F fill two of three positions for 2011 Dakar rally

2011-01-08T19:22:00.001+07:00

The Quad category has seen Yamaha YFM700R machinery dominant with seven of the first ten classified riders reaching the end of Stage 5. The listing his headed by Alejandro Patronelli. The Argentine is attempting his second Dakar after winning two stages and finishing second to his brother in 2010. Last year’s victor, Marcos, lost all hope of defending his title after receiving a six hour penalty after Stage 1 and had to retire in stage 4 after injuring his knee but Alejandro has been flying the flag admirably for the family name and hasn’t dropped out of the top two in the general standings for four of the five stages; arriving first in two. “I’m exhausted and it has been a hard race so far but this is the Dakar and I will keep on pushing with this rhythm,” he said. Countrymen Tomas Maffei and Sebastian Halpern are running second and third respectively. One of the few female entrants, Franco-Italian Camelia Liparoti (using a YFM700R), is presently fifteenth from twenty Quad riders still in the rally.

A special mention must go to former six-times Dakar winner with Yamaha Stephane Peterhansel who is second in the car division and has not dropped out of the top three for the entire contest.

450km of sand and further off-road tracks lie in wait for the special stage 6 until the break in the town of Arica, near the Peruvian border. The pause in the schedule will permit valuable rest and recuperation time as well as a chance for mechanical repair.

Today (Friday 7th) the 33rd Dakar rally will reach its sixth stage of fourteen and the crucial ‘rest day’ before the punishing trek back into Argentina from Chile. Over several thousand kilometres of diverse terrain and the harsh demands of the Atacama Desert have been completed so far and Yamaha can look towards a decent outing from the Yamaha Racing France Ipone team whose riders Helder Rodrigues and Jordi Viladoms fill two of three positions for WR450F and YZ450F technology in the top ten of the bike category.

Rodrigues suffered a tyre problem and a delay with assistance in the early phases of the rally (although he admirably completed the opening stage with used rubber) and has since been playing catch-up. The Portuguese – who was fourth overall in 2010 – currently lies fifth after consistent progress and is three positions in front of America’s Jonah Street (Team Jonah Street/JVO) with Viladoms in ninth. Sadly Frenchman Olivier Pain (team-mate of Rodrigues and Viladoms) had to withdraw from the race after a fall on Stage 4 led to a broken wrist. The experienced Enduro rider scored three top-five positions before getting ready for stage 5 and was aiming for a stage win yesterday. Passing Way Point 8 at 218km of the 423km long stint in first position, Olivier crashed at 231km of the stage and was forced to retire.

“I saw that the Pain had fallen and Marc Coma was already with him,” said Rodrigues after reaching the bivouac yesterday. “Even so I had to stop to make sure he was well because this is more important than anything else and fortunately his accident was not very grave. Afterwards I continued but I confess that it was hard to find my concentration again and get on the right trail. It could have been better but tomorrow we continue in the Atacama- my preferred terrain – so I hope I can fight for the lead and get near the podium.”

Permainan “Tim Sepak Bola Nasional Indonesia”, Sampai Kapan Terus Mengecewakan ???

2010-12-30T12:14:00.001+07:00

Sedih sekali rasanya melihat pertandingan final Piala Suzuki AFF Cup 2010 semalam. Rasa Kecewa dalam hati ini begitu besar…Harapan yang begitu besar kepada timnas Indonesia dari ratusan juta rakyat Indonesia tidak tersalurkan di lapangan.

Terlihat sangat jelas bahwa kondisi tim tidak kompak dalam menjalankan sebuah pertandingan final. Semangat bertanding yang tidak merata di semua pemain membuat down keseluruhan permainan sebuah tim.

Sepak bola adalah permainan tim, bukan hanya mengandalkan skill individu. Apalah artinya seorang Ronaldo bila tidak pernah diberikan umpan yang matang dari rekan-rekannya.

Semangat, kekompakan, skill, fisik, stamina, strategi adalah satu kesatuan yang harus ada dalam sebuah tim. Bila semangat tidak merata, akan ada kekhawatiran, rasa curiga dan tidak nyaman dalam pertandingan.

Ayo Dukung Timnas Indonesia!!! Hajar Malaysia Dengan Sportif

2010-12-28T10:37:00.001+07:00

Besok (29-12-2010) adalah hari penentuan, siapa yang akan menjadi Juara partai Final Suzuki AFF Cup 2010???. Kecurangan yang terjadi di stadion Bukit Jalil Malaysia telah membuat marah dan geram.

Tetapi itu adalah masa lalu, tidak bisa dirubah lagi, kita hanya bisa protes!!!.

Sekarang, mari….kumpulkan lagi tenaga, semangat, pikiran, konsentrasi, taktik dan strategi yang jitu untuk menghajar Malaysia di Gelora Bung Karno.

Tunjukkan dan ajari adik kita “Malaysia” akan etika dan sportifitas sepak bola yang sesungguhnya.

Jadikan Harimau Malaya Ompong di kandang kita!!!.

Bukti Foto dan Video Kecurangan Final Piala AFF yang Digelar di Malaysia

2010-12-27T19:04:00.001+07:00

Beberapa bukti yang bisa didapat di internet saya share disini, supaya semua bisa melihat dengan jelas bahwa kecurangan pada pertandingan final piala AFF yang digelar di Malaysia benar-benar terjadi. Tampak dalam foto mata Firman Utina terkena sinar laser warna hijau berkali-kali saat mengeksekusi tendangan penjuru yang berakibat sangat fatal. Tendangannya melenceng jauh……lebih jelasnya bisa dilihat di video.

bukti suporter Malaysia melakukan tindakan tercela

nb: Jangan ditiru!!! hargai pengorbanan Timnas Indonesia dengan bersikap sportif dan menjungjung tinggi semangat Fair Play agar kita kalah atau menang dengan terhormat.

Indonesia Harus Mengalahkan Malaysia Dengan Selisih Skor 4-0 Kalau Masih Ingin Menjadi Juara Piala AFF

2010-12-27T11:36:00.001+07:00

Perjuangan ekstra berat untuk mewujudkan impian menjadi juara pertandingan sepak bola piala AFF untuk pertama kalinya dialami oleh tim nasional Indonesia, setelah mengalami kekalahan telak 3-0.

Taktik dan dukungan penuh suporter Malaysia terbukti mampu merontokkan semangat dan pertahanan Indonesia yang dikawal Markus. Serangan bertubi-tubi dan teror sinar laser dan petasan suporter Malaysia terhadap tim Indonesia berhasil membawa Malaysia menang dengan skor telak 3-0, semua gol dicetak pada babak kedua.

Dengan hasil tersebut, maka Indonesia harus menghajar tim Malaysia dengan selisih skor 4-0 kalau masih ingin merebut juara piala Suzuki AFF untuk pertama kalinya.

Perbuatan suporter bola Malaysia yang menyoroti mata pemain sepak bola tim tamu dengan sinar laser sebaiknya tidak ditiru oleh suporter sepak bola dimanapun juga, karena itu adalah perbuatan yang tercela dan menunjukkan bahwa Malaysia ketakutan akan kekuatan tim sepak bola tim tamu seperti Indonesia atau Vietnam, sehingga melakukan bermacam-macam tindakan curang.

Tindakan Terkutuk!!! Suporter Sepak Bola Malaysia

2010-12-27T00:22:00.001+07:00

Pertandingan sepak bola final piala AFF pada hari minggu, tanggal 26 Desember 2010 antara Indonesia vs Malaysia diwarnai dengan ulah suporter tuan rumah Malaysia yang sangat tidak sportif, terkutuk dan najis untuk dilakukan.

Pertandingan itu sendiri berlangsung panas dan tegang, semenjak peluit babak pertama dimulai, tim Malaysia terus menekan pertahanan Indonesia. Kerjasama yang baik dan alur serangan yang rapi terus dipertontonkan tim tuan rumah Malaysia.

Beberapa kali tim tuan rumah Malaysia sempat membahayakan gawang Indonesia. Pada sebuah serangan tim Malaysia berhasil membuahkan sebuah tendangan penjuru untuk tim tuan rumah, Namun sangat disayangkan, ulah suporter Malaysia tidak sportif yaitu dengan menyoroti mata kiper dan beberapa pemain bertahan Indonesia dengan sinar laser. Sampai babak pertama berakhir kedudukan imbang 0-0.

Kejadian itu terus berlangsung sepanjang pertandingan babak kedua. Menyoroti mata pemain sepak bola Indonesia dengan sinar laser. Target utama adalah penjaga gawang atau kiper dan pemain Indonesia yang mendapat peluang baik untuk melakukan tendangan seperti Firman Utina dan kiper timnas Indonesia Markus Horison.

Tujuan mereka jelas, yaitu membuat buta, mata para pemain Indonesia sehingga kehilangan konsentrasi dan otot-otot pemain bola Indonesia menjadi lemas dan lengah. Sempat juga sebuah petasan/mercon meledak ditengah lapangan saat wasit menghentikan pertandingan karena teror sinar laser yang ditujukan pada mata pemain sepak bola Indonesia. Setelah pertandingan dilanjutkan kembali Indonesia akhirnya kalah dengan hasil akhir skor telak 0-3.

Tindakan tersebut jelas sangat terkutuk. Sudah seharusnya pihak panitia pertandingan piala AFF atau FIFA memberikan hukuman kepada tuan rumah malaysia atas ulah suporter bola Malaysia yang najis untuk dilakukan tersebut. Karena sangat membahayakan keselamatan dan merugikan tim tamu.

Apalagi ini adalah sebuah pertandingan final. Sudah seharusnya panitia pertandingan final piala AFF memberikan suasana kondusif dan penuh sportifitas demi tegaknya semangat fair play dalam sebuah pertandingan sepak bola

Dunia akan mengingat ketidak becusan panitia tuan rumah malaysia dalam menjaga jalannya pertandingan sebuah partai final sepak bola dengan aman dan tertib.

430 Participants from 51 Different Countries Ready for 2011 Dakar Rally

2010-12-21T09:14:00.001+07:00

For the third year in a row the Dakar will remain in South America. The two week contest covering more than 9000km starting from the Argentine capital crossing the Andes into Chile, the longest country in the world, through the Atacama desert and traversing a wide range of topography and climates. Over 180 bikes and 30 quads fill an entry list that sees more than 430 participants from 51 different countries set to attempt the distance. The competitors have already sailed from Le Harve to Argentina and will undergo technical control on the last two days of the year.

The 33rd Dakar Rally draws ever closer and the 2011 edition of the historic and daunting event will begin in Buenos Aires on new year’s day with Yamaha hopeful of further good results in the motorcycling category thanks to the excellent support of Yamaha Motor France and their potent Team Yamaha Racing France Ipone.

In Team Yamaha Racing France Ipone colours will be recent Rally of Morocco runner-up Helder Rodrigues, Spaniard Jordi Viladoms, France’s Olivier Pain and David Barrot filling an important supporting role. Hopes are high for Portugal’s Rodrigues who was 4th overall in the rally in 2010 and in currently in decent form on the adapted Yamaha WR450F. 31 year old Rodrigues – 2010 European Enduro Champion no less - was 5th in the ’09 Dakar and breached the top four ten months ago so is now optimistic of reaching the final podium in one of the toughest rallies in the world. To add to his pedigree the rider has not finished off the podium in the four major international events he has contested in 2010. The motorcycle class boasts a full entry with 200 competitors and will use new regulations for the first time limiting all bike sizes to 450cc. This will suit the WR that won the previous 450cc section of the Bikes division in 2004, 2005 and 2007.

Viladoms is also buoyant for January 1st and the 30 year old has a best result of 7th at Dakar as well as being a stage winner. “We have a great bike for the Dakar,” he recently posted on his Twitter account. “We made a two day test in Morocco recently for the engine and suspension and every time we rode the bike felt better; the team are really motivated!”
Pain is one of France’s top Enduro riders and finished 9th at last year’s Dakar meaning that the French team have three top ten racers in their ranks and enter the meeting as one of the strongest crews on the starting list.
Yamaha have a fantastic record in the rally with nine overall victories stretching back from 1979 and six successes thanks to Dakar ‘legend’ Stephan Peterhansel. Frenchman David Frétigné’s first effort in 2004 saw the introduction of the famous ‘2-Trac’ mono WR450F and he won three stages against the might of the twin cylinders. Yamaha now stand an excellent chance of further distinction on this highest of levels for Rally. 4.1 million spectators took to the countryside to watch the 2010 edition and with the Dakar now embedded in South America the following is increasing.

“We have worked with and developed the WR450F in rallies since 2004,” explained Alexandre Kowalski, Marketing Director of Yamaha Motor France. “We have a lot of faith in the light chassis and the reliability of the four-stroke 450cc WR motor which deals aptly with the long and difficult races.”
Yamaha also will also have a strong presence in the Quad category with the Argentine Patronelli brothers, Marcos and Alejandro, having dominated the competition in 2010 on their Yamaha Raptors. This time the formidable family partnership will count on increased technical back-up from Yamaha Motor Argentina and are clear on their goals. “The support from Yamaha during the rally means we can be more relaxed and organised for the race in 2011,” said last year’s winner and recent Rally of Pharaons victor Marcos, “we can use the stops for more rest and recuperation and these are two fundamental aspects for the Dakar. The Raptor is a powerful and reliable vehicle so we are optimistic.”

Of the 13 entered females in the 2011 race one will be Yamaha Quad pilot Camelia Liparoti. The former Quad Cross country World Champion will be blogging the experiences of her second Dakar and her endeavours can be seen on www.facebook.com/yamaharacingcom. Helder Rodrigues will also be providing updates online.

Concerning the route itself perhaps the hardest part will be the second half in which the intensity of the schedule and distances increase after the rest day on January 8th. In fact the longest Special takes place on the 9th with a mammoth 631km to be covered in the fastest way possible. The latter section of the rally also means the drop down through Chile and the dune and desert landscape more familiar with the veterans of the African Dakar. The Atacama is said to be one of the driest deserts in the world but generally the layout will involve a wide variety of terrain with the routing touching the borders of several countries including Bolivia and Peru; a truly encompassing voyage.

Yamaha EC-03 Electric Scooter “new way to travel”

2010-12-16T21:09:00.002+07:00

Fun and emissions-free, the pure electric Yamaha EC-03 gives city-dwellers a totally new way to commute. With its comfortable upright seating, user-friendly design and digital LCD display, it's remarkably easy to use.

For some time, Yamaha has been perfecting designs for vehicles that use electric power as a viable, low-emission alternative to petrol.

The EC-03 is the result of that continuous effort. This pure electric commuter draws on knowledge and technologies developed over three decades. Slim and compact enough to wheel inside, but punchy enough to cut through rush-hour traffic - the EC-03 defines a new kind of convenient, low-impact urban travel.

Designed for users of all experience levels - including those who've not previously ridden a scooter or motorcycle - the EC-03 also features silent operation and incredibly low running costs.

Convenient and economical
Thanks to a built-in charger unit, the EC-03 charges from any common wall socket using a single cable. It's simplicity itself - and with a full charge costing a fraction of a tank of petrol, the EC-03 is exceptionally economical to run.

Quiet and green
As a pure electric vehicle, the EC-03 is kinder to the environment, with zero emissions resulting from usage. Electric power also means no noise during your journeys. A special YIPU power unit combines efficiency with a slim, light design; and for an extra boost, you can switch from Standard to Power mode at the touch of a button.

Easy controls
Controlling the EC-03 is effortless, thanks to an electronic throttle built into the handlebar grip. This works with the high-spec motor controller for lively, smooth performance. A stylish meter panel with digital LCD display keeps you alert to speed and battery levels, and electronic sound functions alert you to low battery or indicator use.

Slim and light
With a specially-designed aluminum alloy pipe frame, the EC-03 weighs just 56kg - making it easy to handle on the road, to wheel indoors for charging or storage, or to load into a caravan or car if you're heading away for the weekend.

Feel good
The seating on the EC-03 is designed to make every ride a pleasure. Seat height, seat hip position, footrest and handlebar position are calibrated for an upright riding position that looks and feels good, with easy leg reach to the ground.

Suspension for added comfort
The EC-03 features a rear suspension system with large-diameter spring coils, which lets riders take bumps and potholes in their stride.

See and be seen
A stylish mutli-reflector headlight ensures excellent illumination during dark conditions.

Handy extras
The EC-03 includes three handy features for riders: a grab handle for easy parking, a luggage hook at the front of the seat for fastening baggage during motion, and a wire helmet holder underneath the seat - ideal for securing your headgear when the scooter is parked.

Yamaha YZF-R1 2011 MotoGP-inspired Engine

2010-12-05T20:59:00.001+07:00

Back for 2011, the YZF-R1 is the only production motorcycle with a crossplane crankshaft. Crossplane technology, first pioneered in MotoGP® racing with the M1, puts each piston 90° from the next, with an uneven firing interval of 270°- 180°- 90°- 180°. This uneven order does an amazing thing… it actually lets power build more smoothly. That means smooth roll-on delivery out of the corners, with outstanding tractability, followed by very strong high rpm power. It’s a feeling that’s simply unmatched, like having two engines in one: the low-rpm torquey feel of a twin with the raw, high-rpm power of an inline four. This breakthrough technology on the YZF-R1 represents a paradigm shift in both technology and performance.
This R1 keeps all the technological superiorities developed for its predecessor: YCC-TTM (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle) is MotoGP® inspired fly-by-wire technology used to deliver instant throttle response. YCC-I® is Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake which is a variable intake system that broadens the spread of power. The fuel injection system provides optimum air/fuel mixtures for maximum power and smooth throttle response.
The R1 features Yamaha D-MODE (or drive mode) with rider-selectable throttle control maps to program YCC-T performance characteristics for riding conditions. The standard map is designed for optimum overall performance. The “A” mode lets the rider enjoy sportier engine response in the low- to mid-speed range, and the “B” mode offers response that is somewhat less sharp for riding situations that require especially sensitive throttle operation. Switching maps is as easy as pushing a button on the handlebar switch.
In keeping with this machine’s exceptional cornering ability and crisp handling, the aluminum frame has been designed to offer exceptional rigidity balance. The rear frame is lightweight Controlled-Fill die-cast magnesium, contributing the optimum mass centralization. Suspension includes SOQI front forks which use one of the tricks developed for our winning MotoGP® bikes: independent damping. The left fork handles compression damping and the right side handles the rebound damping. And the rear shock adopts bottom linkage for optimum suspension characteristics.
The bodywork does more than add break-away-from-the-crowd styling with its more serious, less busy look. The side fairing is smooth for a sleek appearance. And, instead of the usual four-bulb headlight design, the R1 has only two projector-type bulbs mounted closer to the nose of the bike. This positions ram air ducts closer in for a more compact, smooth look. In addition, the rounded lenses are unique to the supersport industry.

Crossplane crankshaft technology proven in victory after victory on MotoGP® machines provides a high-tech uneven firing interval. Unlike typical inline-four engine design, where the two outer and two inner pistons move together in pairs with 180° intervals, the crossplane crankshaft has each connecting rod 90° with a unique firing order of 270° – 180° – 90° – 180°. This overcomes the inherent fluctuations in inertial torque during each engine revolution, and the accompanying peaky torque characteristics. Instead, combustion torque continues to build, giving the rider more linear throttle response with awesome power and traction out of the corners.
To maximize rider comfort as well as power output, the engine adopts a coupling-type balancer that rotates in the opposite direction as the crankshaft.
This engine features forged aluminum pistons to take maximum advantage of the power characteristics. Titanium intake valves are lightweight.
A forced-air intake system is adopted to increase intake efficiency by using the natural airflow during riding to pressurize the air in the air box. This contributes to outstanding power delivery characteristics in the high-speed range, while the design also helps to minimize intake noise.
Slipper-type back torque-limiting clutch greatly facilitates braking/downshifting from high speed.
The exhaust system is meticulously designed to enhance engine output while, thanks to its three-way catalyst technology, also reducing exhaust emissions. The silencer is a single expansion type, and the sound coming through from the unique crossplane crankshaft-equipped engine is unlike any other inline-four cylinder production supersport.
This fuel-injected engine takes full advantage of YCC-T (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle), the MotoGP®-inspired fly-by-wire technology used to deliver instant throttle response. There’s also YCC-I, Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake, the variable intake system that broadens the spread of power. Fuel injectors have 12 holes for optimum fuel atomization that translates to the most power from every fuel charge.
Have it your way, thanks to Yamaha D-MODE (or “Drive Mode”) variable throttle control. There are three modes that control how YCC-T responds to throttle input from the rider. The selectable “A” mode puts more emphasis on engine response in low to midrange rpm. “B” mode, on the other hand, provides less sharp response to input for riding situations that require especially sensitive throttle operation. The standard map is designed for optimum overall performance. Selecting the map you want is as easy as pressing a button on the handlebars.

The frame has a combination of uncompromising rigidity where needed along with carefully achieved flex for the precise rigidity balance this bike needs to give the rider the full benefit of its handling and engine characteristics. It is a sophisticated combination of Controlled-Fill die-cast, stamping, and gravity casting… the exact technology needed for each portion of this advanced frame.
SOQI front forks take a page from the championship-winning design of our MotoGP® weapon, the M1. Since both forks always move together, compression damping duties can be confined to the left fork, while rebound damping is precisely handled by the right fork, reducing oil cavitation.
The SOQI rear shock features both high and low speed compression damping plus an easy-to-use screw hydraulic adjustment for preload. This unit also adopts a pillow-ball-type joint for exceptional shock absorption, road hold feeling, and damper response. To achieve maximum performance, a bottom linkage is used to work with the rest of the chassis refinements for brilliant, crisp handling characteristics.
Factory racers get machines tailored to their preferences. Welcome to the club. R1 has adjustable footrests, with a 15mm height and 3mm front-to-rear adjustment.
The press-formed fuel tank has a shape developed using 3-D simulation analysis technology. The elongated shape of the tank allows it to fit neatly within the frame in a way that promotes concentration of mass.

Marco Melandri’s new R1 racebike first test of 2011 next year

2010-12-03T11:25:00.002+07:00

Following his one day test in Valencia last month this was Marco Melandri’s first proper opportunity to work through some set up developments on his new R1 racebike. The Italian rider improved steadily over the test days, making steps each day as the team continued to modify the physical set up of the bike to suit him. Day three saw him record a 1’32.4 lap on race tyres. Melandri also took the opportunity in the rain to experience his bike on Pirelli wet tyres. The team now have valuable data to take away to work over the winter to make further changes to suit the new riders in advance of the first test of 2011 next year.
Eugene Laverty, Yamaha World Superbike Team
232 laps, Best Lap 1’31.5
“I’m pretty pleased with the test, it’s a nice way to go into the winter break. In the three days we got a lot of laps done, the second day especially was big breakthrough. So far we’ve had two one day tests so the second day here was where we really made the bike mine. The race times on the 2011 machine weren’t so far away from 2010 bike so we’re developing in the right direction. The new Ohlins front fork is definitely an improvement. I’m still learning this bike so we are fine tuning it as we go.”

Marco Melandri, Yamaha World Superbike Team
216 laps, Best Lap 1’32.4
“It was a good test in the end, the three days were very intensive. It was quite challenging at first working on the 2011 machine but during the second day we started to find a way and then third day we found a big improvement and found a good pace for the race. The rain meant we couldn’t find a good lap time with a soft tyre but for me that wasn’t what was important here. The difference between a MotoGP bike and a superbike on this track are huge, the bike moves a lot more so the faster corners are very different but step by step it’s getting better and better. The feeling is very good, I’m very happy. The track is a difficult track so we have done well and I think we can be very strong for the first race here next year.”
Andrea Dosoli - Yamaha World Superbike Team Manager
“These were three very important days for us, after the shakedown of the new bike in Valencia here we had the chance to work on it in more detail. We have confirmed that the new bike is pretty good with high potential. We are pleased that it can keep consistent lap times during race simulation. For this we are quite happy as on this track in the past we have struggled. Eugene was very fast from the beginning in all three days and had a good feeling working on both bikes. Marco has been working hard, mainly on the 2011 bike. He has been working on rider position; there are still some areas we have to improve for him to be more comfortable on the bike. He was very consistent with race pace although he didn’t have time to try a flying lap. After the first two days he struggled a bit with setup then today he found a good one that worked for him and was comfortable so the lap times improved. Overall the test was very positive and we are confident we have a good base for the Philip Island race.”
FINAL TEST TIMES
Eugene Laverty 01’31.5
Max Biaggi 01’32.1

Kyle Chisholm took his YZ450F to third position at Paris-Bercy

2010-11-20T10:54:00.001+07:00

Paulin’s quest for glory did not last a lap as he ran wide over the biggest jump of the course and clipped a trackside obstacle that threw him to the ground. The 20 year old was dazed but unharmed. Chisholm meanwhile took advantage of many crashes around him to move up the field and terrorise the back of MX2-GP World Champion Marvin Musquin.

Motoconcepts Yamaha’s Kyle Chisholm took his YZ450F to third position on the first night of three at the popular Supercross Paris-Bercy for a decent debut at the annual event and the biggest Indoor SX meeting in Europe.
The Palais Omnisports in the French capital was full to capacity for an entertaining and noisy opening evening in which Yamaha Monster Energy Motocross Team’s Gautier Paulin was able to shine on the YZ250FM in the opening half of the schedule while Chisholm was eventually able to walk away with the plaudits.

The narrow and challenging course offered a lot of grip and became harder as the night wore on. Paulin was among the fastest in practice and had the arena on its feet with a remarkable effort in Superpole to earn the quickest lap. The Frenchman then won the L’Americaine eliminator heat from main rival Justin Barcia. Chisholm on the other hand had a turgid time and started the Main event from the back of the gate.

“The night did not start well but it ended OK,” the American said. “It has been pretty hard with this being my first Bercy and getting used to the different programme. I struggled on the soft track in practice and it took a bit of time to get the bike set-up. I knew my fitness was good and the main event was a lot of laps. I made a decent start and just kept going.”
Supercross Paris-Bercy continues on Saturday where the same line-up will push for the 'King of Bercy' title.

Lorenzo build an impressive eight second lead over Rossi at Estoril Portugal

2010-11-01T13:46:00.002+07:00

2010 World Champion Lorenzo made a strong start from pole, taking the lead into the first corner before briefly relinquishing it to Nicky Hayden for a few seconds before taking back control of the race. Team-mate Rossi made a play for the lead on lap four, relegating Lorenzo to second until lap 17 where a decisive out braking manoeuvre saw the Spaniard retake the lead, putting his head down to build an impressive eight second lead over Rossi by the chequered flag. The victory was another landmark for Lorenzo, being the third consecutive time he has won from pole position at this track. Rossi's second position finish continues his impressive record in Portugal, giving him his tenth podium here in all classes.
Jorge Lorenzo

Fiat Yamaha riders Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi put in a superb team performance today at the Grand Prix of Portugal on the Estoril circuit, taking first and second respectively to deliver Yamaha it's third consecutive Triple Crown with the Team, Rider and Manufacturers' titles. The achievement marks the first time since the Triple Crown's inception that any manufacturer has won it three times in a row. After a weekend of disruption from the weather today's race was run mainly in bright sunshine, although rain earlier in the day meant the track was still patchy to begin with.
Rossi's second-place and a non-finish from Casey Stoner means the Italian has moved back to third in the championship standings, 19 points off Dani Pedrosa and second place. The final round of the season comes in one week's time at Valencia in Spain.
Jorge Lorenzo - Position: 1stTime: 46'17.962
"On the warm-up lap I could see there were still a few wet parts and I knew that I was going to have to be careful at the beginning. I got a great start and was in the lead but eventually Valentino overtook me and then off he went. He had a better pace than me then and I couldn't go with him. As the track got drier I found my pace improving and then step-by-step I closed the gap and was able to get past him. At that point I felt really good and I am so happy to win for the third time here at Estoril. It was a long time since I have won but my confidence has remained high and I haven't been worried. I knew I could win here at my favourite track. We also confirmed the Triple Crown for Yamaha today so well done to the whole team for this victory."
Valentino Rossi

Valentino Rossi - Position: 2ndTime: +8.629
"Like I said yesterday, a wet warm up and a dry race is a difficult one! I am happy about this weekend, we worked really well on the bike on the wet and this morning I was the fastest in the warm up, if it had been a wet race I could have been very competitive. For the dry we started blind so I had to try to take some risks at the beginning because the setting was ok, but it was not enough because when Jorge got into his rhythm he was faster than me, I had no way to fight with him. I tried to stay with him but he was too fast. Anyway second place is positive for my championship because I am back in third place and I'm not so far from Dani Pedrosa in second. I'm happy to have improved the setting of the bike but we are still not strong enough so we will try to improve for Valencia for a final win with Yamaha."

Wilco Zeelenberg - Team Manager
"They were strange conditions for the race today, being run in the dry after all the wet practice sessions. We struggled at the start a bit with a full fuel tank, Jorge over braked a little on the end of the straight so P1 was not so good in the beginning. After eight or nine laps however the feeling was a lot better and he was able to catch up with Valentino and pass for the win. This is victory number eight and after a few races of not winning we are happy to be first again! We need to keep our focus for Valencia because it would be great to finish this fantastic season with one more win."

Davide Brivio - Team Manager
"On one side it was a very good race because we went into a dry race with a blind setting and we got a very good result, but unfortunately when you are so very close to the victory it's hard to not get there. Anyway we took a positive second position and we learned a lot today about out setting for the final race. It was a very positive day for Yamaha too because we took the Triple Crown again, well done to everyone."

Mixed fortunes for Edwards and Spies in Estoril
The Monster Yamaha Tech 3 Yamaha Team experienced mixed fortunes at the Grand Prix of Portugal today, Colin Edwards racing to a gutsy seventh position while Ben Spies was unfortunately unable to start after a heavy fall on the sighting lap.

After a weekend of atrocious weather severely disrupted the practice and qualifying schedule, the MotoGP race started on a drying track in bright and sunny but blustery conditions. Some damp patches were still visible on the surface after further torrential rain this morning, but with no dry track time under his belt, set-up and tyre choice became a lottery for Edwards.
Edwards needed to call on all his experie nce as tricky conditions in the early laps presented the 36-year-old with a severe test of skill and bravery. Working out quickly where he could push, Edwards spent the majority of the race on the fringes of an exciting five-rider fight for third place. He got up to seventh on lap 18 with an overtake on Randy de Puniet and at that point he was only 1.6s behind Marco Simoncelli in third.

Frustratingly for the Texan, he was unable to force his way into contention for a rostrum, despite launching numerous attempts to close down on the podium battle unfolding directly in front of him. He eventually finished seventh and heading to the final round in Valencia next weekend, Edwards is just one-point behind Marco Melandri in his bid to claim a top ten overall championship finish.

It was a difficult afternoon for fellow American Spies, who had impressed all weekend on his first visit to the Estoril track. Spies w as confident of a strong race despite having never completed a single lap of the track in the dry. But he crashed on the second of two sighting laps at turn four and was unable to start the 28-lap encounter.

Spies suffered a dislocated left ankle and aggravated injuries suffered in Le Mans and Silverstone earlier in the season. The 26-year-old will now travel to Spain where he will undergo MRI scans on the ankle, though he is determined to end his outstanding rookie campaign by participating in the final round in Valencia next weekend.
Colin Edwards

Colin Edwards - Position: 7th 99-points
"It was a lottery before the race because we'd had no dry track time and at the start there was still quite a few damp patches around. My guys at Monster Yamaha Tech 3 though did an awesome job because what we ran on the bike worked pretty good. But if you don't adapt in a couple of laps then you're in big trouble and off the pace. I felt pretty good from the start even though it was so difficult in the first few laps. It was hard to find the limit or work out when you were going to slide and everybody was having big moments. This is all going on why you're trying to push at the same time and it was a bit of a lottery just to keep it on two wheels. I caught that group and I could see third but I couldn't do anything with them and that was pretty frustrating. I made up time on them on the brakes but they just had a bit more punch coming out of the corners. So each time I'd close up, they'd gap me leaving the next corner. The podium was right there, I could see it, but I just couldn't get close enough."
Ben Spies

Ben Spies - DNS 163-points
"I knew the race was going to be tough because I had never turned a lap in the dry on this track. The first sighting lap was fine and o n the second I just made a mistake at turn four. Aoyama and Capirossi were in front of me and they nearly did the same thing. I just didn't have the left side of the tyre heated up enough and it spat me off. I'm frustrated because I'm sure even in the dry I could have had a fairly good race. I've hurt my left ankle again and it's pretty painful right now. I'll have some more scans in Spain but my intention is to go to Valencia and race and hopefully do the test too. We'll have to wait and see but that's my plan right now."

Herve Poncharal - Team Manager
"It was certainly a mixed day for us. Colin rode a great race and he was always in that group fighting for the podium. He gave his maximum effort and he wasn't that far away from the podium at the end in a race that was very difficult considering nobody had any dry track time over the weekend. I was standing on the grid when Race Direction told me that Ben had crashed at turn four and I feel really sorry for him because all weekend he's done an incredible job. He'd never seen this track and in atrocious conditions he was always one of the fastest on track. When you look at the race it is not impossible to imagine Ben being capable of fighting for the podium again. We hope he'll be fine for Valencia and I know already that he wants to race. Congratulations also to Jorge for another fantastic win in what has been an amazing year for him and Yamaha."

Casey Stoner Win at Philip Island

2010-10-18T13:23:00.002+07:00

Stoner's win means Rossi slips one place to fourth in the standings, with a deficit of eight points from the Australian. After a hard three weeks the paddock now heads home for ten days, with Jorge Lorenzo due to take part in a parade through his home city of Palma de Mallorca on Wednesday when he returns victorious as the new World Champion. Today also saw American Tech 3 Yamaha rider Ben Spies, who will join the Factory Team in 2011, secure the Rookie of the Year title.
Jorge Lorenzo

A double podium for the Fiat Yamaha Team today sealed the second leg of the 2010 Triple Crown, as World Champion Jorge Lorenzo finished second and Valentino Rossi third behind winner Casey Stoner in the Australian Grand Prix at Phillip Island.
After a sopping wet weekend the weather finally cleared up today, as the sun came out and temperatures rose above 15 degrees for the first time. Lorenzo got a good start into turn one, losing one place to Marco Simoncelli but passing the Italian back soon after to retake second. As the World Champion had feared however he was unable to match Stoner's pace today, despite trying his best in the early stages. Once he realised he could not catch the Australian he contented himself with an uneventful but enjoyable race, unchallenged throughout to finish in second place. It was the 23-year-old's 50th start in the MotoGP class and his 32nd podium from those races.

A small set-up tweak in warm-up had left Rossi slightly more hopeful of his chances today but the nine-time champion was left with all to do when he dropped to ninth on the first lap. He gained two places on the next three laps and on lap five found himself on the end of a four-man group in sixth, with third in his sights. He dealt with Simoncelli first, passing his countryman on the brakes into turn one, dispatched Nicky Hayden on lap seven and then fellow Yamaha man Ben Spies on the eighth. His task was not over however and he had his work cut out to hold onto the final podium spot with Hayden hard on his heels. On the third last lap the American got by the Italian but a brilliant last-lap move from Rossi secured him an incredible 13th podium in 14 years at Phillip Island.
Jorge Lorenzo - Position: 2ndTime: +8.598
"We knew Casey would be hard to beat today! I tried my best, riding as hard as I could at the start and occasionally it seemed like I was closing a little bit, but then on the next lap Casey would extend his lead again by a few tenths. I kept trying but I didn't have much hope and half way through I decided it was better not to take risks. I really enjoyed riding here and sliding a bit on my M1, it was fun but this was Casey's race today. It was good to be on the podium and now we are heading back and I have my first chance to go home to Mallorca as World Champion and to celebrate with my friends and family. Today we won the Teams' Title and this shows what a great season it has been for us all, with everyone working at the maximum."

"To start eighth and finish third is not a bad result and, considering the trouble we had this weekend, we can be happy. Today Casey was riding in a different sport and I want to say congratulations to him - the podium was the maximum for us but it was still a hard fight to get there. We made some good changes to our set-up this morning and I knew I had a better chance, but we still lacked grip and the bike started to slide a lot after a bit. I had great fun with Nicky at the end because in some places he was faster than me and I really had to push, but the podium here is so important for me and I couldn't give it up easily. This is my 13th podium in 14 years racing at Phillip Island and I am very proud of this record. We have had three podiums in a row, including one win, and after this difficult season I am happy about this. Today we won the Team title and I am happy for us all and for Yamaha."

Wilco Zeelenberg - Team Manager
"Today the podium was the most we could do. Jorge tried his hardest at the start and his lap times were quick; we had a good set-up today but Casey was just faster than us. Jorge really enjoyed himself out there and he had a big gap behind him so it was a successful day. Considering the difficult circumstances we've had all weekend we can be satisfied with what we've achieved. We are happy to win the Team title and now we are going home, finally, and everyone deserves a good rest!"

Davide Brivio - Team Manager
"This morning we did a good job and we were able to find a much better setting. Unfortunately the difficult conditions this weekend and the bad luck we had in qualifying yesterday meant that we were starting from the third row so we had a big job to do. Valentino did very well to get this podium. These three races have gone well for us and we're heading back to Europe satisfied. Congratulations to the whole team tonight for another Team Championship."
Super Spies claims top rookie award in Australia

Ben Spies set another personal milestone in his stunning 2010 MotoGP world championship campaign today, the Monster Yamaha Tech 3 Team rider's hard fought fifth place in the Australian Grand Prix securing him the coveted Rookie of the Year award.
After a weekend of typically unpredictable conditions at Phillip Island, today's 27-lap race started under sunny skies with temperatures hitting a weekend high of 15 degrees. Spies made a flying start from the front row of the grid but slipped back to sixth after nearly touching new world champion Jorge Lorenzo as the field jostled for position at turn two. The 26-year-old was back in the hunt for his third podium by lap five, Spies executing thrilling overtakes to move by fellow American Nicky Hayden and Marco Simoncelli. But a small mistake under heavy braking for the perilously fast first turn dropped Spies back to sixth on lap eight. He quickly regained his composure but was unable to restart his rostrum challenge with Hayden and Valentino Rossi pulling clear. Spies had a determined Simoncelli to occupy his mind though, the Italian seizing fifth on lap 19. Content to shadow Simoncelli, Spies quickly realised he could lap much faster and claimed back fifth on lap 23. Displaying his expertise on worn tyres, a magnificent late attack broke Simoncelli's resolve to ensure Spies lifted the Rookie of the Year title with two races remaining. And his latest top six result means he will also finish top non-factory rider in 2010.
Colin Edwards got his bid for a top ten world championship finish back o n track today, the experienced Texan claiming seventh. Edwards was hopeful of fighting for a top six finish but he spent the majority of the race adapting his riding style to counter a small rear grip issue. With just two races remaining at Estoril and Valencia, Edwards is just three-points away from an overall top ten finish.

"Jorge and I got super close coming out of the first corner and he almost touched my brake lever. It made me run wide in turn two and a couple of people came by. It didn't ruin the race but it ruined me building up some momentum. I fought my way back into third and was pretty comfortable when I ran wide at the first corner on lap seven. I got in there a bit hot and the rear came round. Everybody got a run on me and came by and dropped me back to sixth. I then had a good battle with Simoncelli. I kind of towed him around and h e picked up his pace and came by me. Once I knew nobody was behind me, I just waited until a few laps from the end to push and pass him back. I made sure I got a decent gap and chilled out in fifth. At the end I was running times that if everything had gone smoothly, I feel like we could have battled for the podium. Towards the end of the race I was running similar times to those ahead of me and that's all I can do. I'm happy to be Rookie of the Year too. I beat a lot of good guys for that and it will be an achievement I can be proud of at the end of the season. I've had some good results on this three-week stretch and I'm now looking forward to the last two rounds."

"The pace I'd run all weekend was pretty much the pace I was able to run in the race. Conditions changed so much over the weekend that we never really got enough time to work on findi ng a decent set-up. I was confident going into the race and got a decent start but pretty much from the second corner I was having some spinning from the rear tyre. I tried to adjust my riding style because I didn't want to lose contact with the group in front of me. I settled into a comfortable rhythm but I just couldn't go any faster. I was trying different lines but I couldn't enter the corner like I wanted to. My speed was basically dictated by what the rear was doing, but we'll look at the data and figure a few things out for the final part of the season. I want to thank my guys at Monster Yamaha Tech 3. This has been a tough period of the season but we've worked really hard together and I'm happy with the way I've performed. Congratulations to Ben too for getting Rookie of the Year. He's rode awesome all year and he's beaten a lot of good guys to achieve that."

Herve Poncharal - Team Manager
"Ben's amazing season just gets better and better. To win the Rookie of the Year title with two races to go is a fantastic achievement for him and all of his Monster Yamaha Tech 3 crew. A lot of very talented riders came from the 250cc class into MotoGP this year and they knew all the tracks, which Ben didn't. He's done a magnificent job and done it with another impressive top five finish. Simoncelli never gave up but Ben was too strong for him and showed how strong he is on used tyres. Without a couple of problems in the early laps, I think he could have battled with Valentino and Nicky for the podium. I'd like to thank Colin for all his efforts in this run of three races because he has been very consistent, qualifying very well and showing strong form in the races. He might have expected to be a bit higher up today but he never stopped pushing and I'm delighted with his attitude. Congratulations to Yamaha too on winning another Triple Crown fo r the third year in succession. The competition is so high in MotoGP and that is an amazing accomplishment."
