The Building Of Yamaha YZF R1
The carburators
Right-hand side without frontwheel"
nice head light
handsome tank
"waterhose"(coolant)
The Canon 3S IS (digital camera) delivers extra details
No decals, right-hand side
No decals, left-hand side
Left-hand side, with decals, the decals sometimes were a little bit britle, and the decal-instructions need carefull reading
Drilling the (rear)brake disk (holes), could have been possible
A warning when polishing red AND white use seperate polishing-pads, white is easy to "spoil"
shinyness of the fuel-tank
Alcad-chrome on the front-suspension
sleek lines of the bike
the back light
the decals were a little bit brittle

The 2013 Triumph Street Triple
When Triumph unveiled the Street Triple in 2007, the new naked sportbike out of Hinckley immediately gained fame from both the media and riders across the world. The inline-three powered motorcycle remained relatively unchanged throughout 2012, but Triumph has redesigned the Street Triple for 2013.
The Street Triple receives an all-new chassis design with a new aluminum beam twin-spar frame and a two-piece, high-pressure die cast rear subframe for better handling, more optimal mass centralization, a weight savings of up to 13 lbs., switchable ABS as standard. The other feature is comprehensive LCD digital instrumentation includes a built-in lap timer, programmable gear change lights, fuel gauge, clock and gear indicator, as well as a large tachometer and digital speedometer. The unit is also able to display front and rear tire pressures when the optional Triumph Tire Pressure Monitoring System is fitted.
The engine arrive with 675cc three-cylinder, 12-valve with liquid-cooled and six-speed of transmission. It’s can produces 105 base horsepower and 50 ft. lbs. of torque. An engine immobilizer arrives as standard equipment for 2013, with the option of adding an accessory Triumph D lock that can be stored under the seat.
The handling of the revamped Street Triple is a low-mount exhaust, which redistributes the center of gravity, optimizing mass centralization. For Suspension duties up front is a 41mm, KYB upside down fork, with a monoshock out back. Stopping the Street Triple are dual 310mm floating disc brakes squeezed by Nissin two-piston sliding calipers, with a single disc out back. Further braking security arrives with fully-switchable ABS.
The base 2013 Street Triple will be available in three colors: Phantom Black, Crystal White and striking Caribbean Blue. Triumph says the MSRP will be released in late October, and the 2013 Street Triple should arrive in North American Triumph dealerships in January 2013.
Personal Liberation The CONFEDERATE Renaissance Fighter
What is common to a Vincent (HRD, Rapide) and a Jessica (Beil, Simpson, Alba)? These are things in life which you will always want or lust for, but can never have and you know that just as well, but still you will keep on wanting and hoping for ever.
Confederate is just a name you will always have it in your want / lust list. And with every product they feature, the hunger grows. Confederate has just launched its 3rd product after the Hellcat and Wraith. Its named C120 Renaissance Fighter and its as radical as its elder brothers, as limited as its elder brother and just as hell expensive.
The first photo you see just above was on every website that featured motorcycles saying its featured in the winter catalogue of Neiman Marcus. A frantic google search for additional images didnt yeild any results. A search in the Confederate website only gave its specifications. But after a day, Confederate had put lots of pics and a brand new website and a new logo too!
So, what is the Fighter all about?
Well, Confederate has never done anything conventional. What they dish out is totally outrageous, bizarre looking motorcycles which are downright sexy, it may take a while to adjust to their imagination, but THE MOTORCYCLES ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL. Period. The core thinking is that whatever changes and designs are incorporated are totally for superior riding and superior performance. The bikes looks like straight out of Star War movies.
This particular model, the C120 Renaissance Fighter is capable of 305kmph (190mph, eat that Busas and ZZRs!) aided with its cutting edge carbon fiber, titanium, and aluminum chassis. Wheelbase is 64", Seat height is 27" and all the gizmos that you can possibly immagine. The other thing is while the Hellcat was limited to 250, the Wraith limited to 145, the Fighter is even more exclusive with only 45 limited editions to be hand crafted. 3 have already been sold/ booked as the website says and by this time the number has surely decreased. No, actually its not worth rushing as the price tag would probably maintain a distance from you at $110,000. And thats not all. It is a super limited edition, why? because it has customized Neiman Marcus edition features.
Critics are saying Confederate has outdone themselves this time. So whats new? Everytime Confederate launches a bike, the biking faternity gets stunned. Okay, like the Wraith, the Fighter is built from a combination of components crafted from aircraft billet aluminum, carbon fiber, and high grade titanium as mentioned before which wraps around a 45 degree radial twin.
Although it looks like a concept bike (read not ready to ride), its only in the attitude. Take a hard look at it. The bike is very evenly proportionate. Notice the traingular mass at the heart of the bike. It would surely suit power racing and cruising with equal aplomb. The engine is of 120 cubic inches and there by the name C120 Renaissance Fighter.
The following is an extract from the Confederate website describibg the Fighter -
The Fighter clarifies opaqueness and nullifies hype with straight-forward true to concept certitude. At the source is a classic right triangle. Proportion is classically derived. Scale is middle way. Bearing exudes structural permanence. Human integration deploys yang energy, vitality, and power in the most simple, pure and direct form. Geometry is optimized for the medium and/or long disciplined journey of sensory heightened motion. Torque to weight is maximized. Engine, suspension and ergonomic luxury and ease of use is optimized. Materials utilization is the finest. Individual piece and component specification is highest and best.
Craft preparation and specification is uncompromised. The aesthetic is fresh, industrial, sculptural, holistic and honest. The saddle of the Fighter is your place for those outings which require extended time, geography, meditation and distance. Personal liberation will result!
Amen to that. So , if you are really planning to buy the Fighter or wanting a look, visit the Fighter website. Additional photos sourced from Confederate website, where a Neiman Marcus page has been created to promo this bike.

Honda to introduce RC213V for the Market on 2014
Honda CEO confirmed to introduce the RC213V onto the market on 2014. Sounds unbelievable? Stay tuned.
Field Trip to the AMA Nationals at Budds Creek Raceway
This was definitely impressive to watch - almost as impressive as the sunburn I got while I was there.
I recommend that all motorcycle people watch a pro level motocross race at some point in their lives just to see them railing around berms and boosting over huge tabletops in person. Badass. Its nothing like on TV. But take my advice and wear sunscreen if you attend an outdoor event.
