Wowee, Bmw's new full fat race bred superbike is making quite a stir across the world right now. Initial reports are that it is fantastic but something inside of me really detests the non-matching headlight configuration and also the same trick with the fairings, I can only hope that BMW invite me to go and take one for a test ride to see if it is really as good as reports suggest.

Things You'll Need:

* Motorcycle (this article assumes you are riding a sportbike)
* A couple of friends to help is nice, one at minimum
* Paper and pencil to write down the numbers
* A ruler that measure in metric (millimeters)

Fresh off the press from Ducati is the news that US only Ducatisti are getting one special race replica 848...

Sporting the Laguna Seca livery this ducati special is simply stunning!

DUCATI ANNOUNCES THE 848 NICKY HAYDEN EDITION
MotoGP Fans Celebrate the 4th of July with Debut of Special Edition Motorcycle Monterey, Calif. (July 3, 2009) – Ducati North America is proud to announce the newest addition to its model range, the 848 Nicky Hayden Special Edition. The special edition 848 will be unveiled tomorrow at the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.

Moto Morini has announced model updates for its popular 1200cc adventure sport bike, the Granpasso, ready for 2010.  The 118hp V-twin has been praised for its power delivery and handling, so designers at the Bologna factory focused on enhancing ergonomics for next year’s model, while improving its off-road capability.

Öhlins Racing has introduced a brand new 25mm pressurised fork cartridge kit for 2011 that has been developed in the World Supersport and Superstock championships to deliver world-beating damping performance under extreme track use. Based on the kits designed by the Öhlins Race Department and supplied to teams competing at the very highest level both on the world and national scene, the new TTX25 cartridge kit comes with all the precision and quality that you would expect from an Ohlins product.

The launch of the 2011 Triumph Daytona 675R to the world’s media at the Portimao Circuit in Portugal highlighted the increased sporting potential of Triumph’s new premium version of its class-leading machine thanks to the addition of Öhlins suspension.The 675R is the first Triumph to be equipped with Öhlins suspension as original equipment, a move that gained praise from members of the world’s motorcycling press who exclusively rode the bike during the two-day launch.
Öhlins Racing has completed final testing and is now ready to launch a complete range of suspension upgrade kits for the 2011 Suzuki GSX-R600, further enhancing the sporting potential of this already extremely impressive supersport 600 machine. The brand new GSX-R600 has been designed to be the ultimate supersport machine with Suzuki concentrating its development focus on the chassis. Having spent a number of years out of the supersport race scene, Suzuki are confident the new GSX-R600 will be back at the sharp end of the grid and Öhlins has developed a suspension package that will allow it to get there.

Öhlins Racing continues their long and prosperous relationship with Ducati by offering a specially developed fully adjustable shock absorber for the new revolutionary ‘Diavel’. To coincide with this new product, Öhlins Racing UK will be in attendance at the Ducati Days event at Silverstone and offering an awesome WSB prize to meet series leader, Ducati Althea’s Carlos Checa. The exciting new Ducati Diavel has turned the world of motorcycling on its head, delivering the performance of a superbike with the attitude and street presence of a cruiser.
Published in Product Releases
Öhlins has developed a set of performance forks for the awesome Ducati Diavel to give increased handling capabilities to this already unique ‘muscle bike’.The FGRT 301 ‘Road and Track’ forks have been especially designed with black outer tubes and gold fork sliders to retain the mean and moody look of this 160bhp monster machine, something that reflects the front suspension on the Ducati MotoGP machines. Featuring 48mm forks containing Öhlins NIX 30mm cartridge technology, the new forks offer improved road manners and high performance capabilities for when the pace increases.
