Motociclismo test the Bimota DB7!

Powered by the Ducati 1098 v-twin, the Bimota DB7 should be a match for most Japanese litre-class superbikes. Plus, of course, the bike looks very good...

Pics: Motociclismo

Motociclismo recently got to test the brand-new Bimota DB7, which was first shown at the EICMA in Italy, in November last year. The bike was put through its paces at Misano Adriatico circuit in Italy.

Apart from being strikingly good looking, the DB7 is fitted with the very powerful Ducati 1098 engine, instead of using a lower-tech air-cooled v-twin from the Ducati range, as Bimota have often done in the recent past.

The Motociclismo report says, ‘The market wants horsepower, and Bimota have put a lot of it on the street. The DB7, which has a chassis designed by Bimota, is fitted with the 160bhp, liquid-cooled Testastretta 1098 engine and the bike weighs a mere 170kg.’

After years of lagging behind, could the DB7 mark Bimota's comeback?

‘The bike’s 2-into-1 exhaust system [which is different from the Ducati 1098’s twin-pipe setup…] improves power delivery at low revs, helps boost overall power output by 8bhp, and saves some weight. The DB7’s oval tube lattice frame is light and works very well,’ say the guys at Motociclismo.

Of course, don’t rush off to meet your friendly neighbourhood Bimota dealer just yet – the DB7 costs about US$37,000… :-(

Neander 1400 Turbodiesel: Yours for US$140,000!

Okay, so it has only 95bhp, but the Neander's turbocharged diesel engine produces almost twice the torque of your R1, GSX-R1000, ZX-10R or Fireblade!

For those who don’t particularly like the 190bhp Kawasaki ZZR1400, Neander have the perfect solution – a motorcycle fitted with a high-tech 1.4-litre diesel engine. No, really, the Neander 1400 is fitted with a 1340cc, air-and-oil cooled, eight-valve, turbocharged, fuel-injected parallel-twin that makes around 95 horsepower at 4200rpm.

And before you GSX-R1000 and R1 owners start laughing, get this – the intercooled Neander mill makes 195Nm of torque at only 2600rpm, which is about twice as much of what most litre-class superbikes make. The belt-driven Neander, with its six-speed gearbox, accelerates from zero to 100km/h in 4.5 seconds, and top sped is 225km/h. So, yeah, this 270-kilo machine really is the oil-burner from hell...

We had already said most of what’s above, here, back in September last year. Now, the big news is that the Neander 1400 Turbodiesel is finally available all over Europe, for the equivalent of a mere US$140,000. Only 60 bikes will be made every year.

When Sir Alan Cathcart tested the Neander for Motorcycle Cruiser magazine, he said ‘The only downside to this thoroughly avant-garde diesel engine package is the noise it makes, which frankly isn't very pleasant. The issue isn't so much about the engine itself being mechanically noisy, more that the turbodiesel tune simply isn't one that sounds at all melodic or even very sophisticated when you're actually riding it, especially compared to conventional bikes costing one-tenth of the Neander's heady sticker price.’

‘Diesel technology has advanced so much in the past 10 years, not only thanks to turbocharging, but also due to variable nozzle geometry, and especially the evolution of the common rail system, such as found on the Neander. By any standards, this bike is a surprise – not only for its unique mechanical format, but also for the effective manner in which it applies the benefits of diesel development to a motorcycle,’ says Mr Cathcart.

McGuinness replica Honda CBR1000RR announced

It can win the Isle of Man TT races. Can you?

For Isle of Man TT fanatics, Honda UK have announced John McGuinness-replica CBR1000RR Fireblades, only ten of which will made. Each 2007-model bike (new, never used before) will be painted in HM Plant colours (as used on McGuinness’ bike, which he raced to victory during the 100th IoM TT races last year), will have a single seat only, an Akrapovic exhaust system, a dark screen, and headlight covers. Each bike will be sold with a full Honda warranty.

One of these bikes will be put out on eBay on the 7th of this month, for ten days. The money raised will go to the CJ Riders Fund, which was set up in 2006, when British racer Chris Jones lost his life in a tragic accident at the Cadwell Park circuit. This bike will be signed by John McGuinness and will come with a certificate of authenticity.

The BMW R1150GS-based Beutler Boxer

Looks like a cross between a motorcycle and a Zeppelin airship...

Pics: Motociclismo

What do you do with an R1150GS that nobody wants? If you are Klaus Beutler – a man devoted to building high-performance streetfighters – you don’t hock it off to buy an R1200GS Adventure. Instead, you take the 1150GS and convert it into something that nobody else in your neighbourhood has – the rather outlandish Beutler Boxer.

The Beutler bike has been designed to look like it’s one single piece of… something. With resin and fiberglass, Klaus Beutler worked for months to fabricate the bodywork and all the paintwork was also done by hand.

According to a report on Motociclismo, it’s not an easy bike to ride – the seat is quite high and climbing on can be quite difficult for those who aren’t as tall as Mr Beutler himself. Then, the turning radius is very large, the clutch is stiff and the ergonomics are less than stellar. Worse still, the bike feels nervous and isn’t very stable at high speeds. And all this despite Beutler claiming he hasn’t done anything to the original chassis…

So what does Mr Beutler have to say to all of this? ‘Yes, I know that riding it is a little crazy. The bike has been built as if it were a museum piece, to be displayed in exhibitions and fairs devoted to the motorcycle. To hijack the prominence of customized Harley-Davidsons,’ he says. A bike built for museums? Hmmm…, definitely not for us then!

2008 Xerox Ducati 1098 F08 racebike shown

On the racing track, will this Ducati 1098 F08 be a worthy successor to the 916 and the 999? This will indeed be a crucial year for Ducati in WSBK...!

Xerox and Ducati have unveiled the 1098 F08 World Superbikes racer, which is based on the homologation-special 1098R. ‘2008 is a very important year for Ducati, as it sees the debut of the 1098 F08 racebike in the World Superbikes championship. The F08 is a bike derived from the impressive 1098R that has already become a technological point of reference with regard to production sport bikes. This season Ducati Corse lines up the official Ducati Xerox Team and provides extensive technical support to the satellite teams, confident that great results will be achieved thanks also to the level of expertise of all its riders,’ said Filippo Preziosi, Director General of Ducati Corse.

Ducati Xerox rider, Italian Michel Fabrizio was present at the unveiling, which took place in Jerez, in Spain. He rode the 1098R as well as the 1098 F08 during test sessions. ‘This event, in which the 1098 R was presented to the press, has helped me to see just how effectively Ducati transfers its racing know-how to the production of its road bikes and how, in this way, bike enthusiasts are able to have high-performance machines that are as unique as these. I can't wait to start the championship with this fantastic bike,’ he said.

And with fans like these, how can Ducati lose...?

The very cool, very stylish Ducati Ultramotard!
Pics: Moto Revue

What happens when talented specials builder Roland Sands gets his hands on a Ducati Hypermotard? Why, you get an Ultramotard! As you can see, the machine takes some of its flat-tracker styling cues from Sands’ earlier machine, the KRV5.

The custom-made twin exhaust pipes look very good, as does the custom red and gray paintjob. We don’t know if the engine has also been worked upon and whether there are any performance enhancements on this bike, but for a bit of around town posing, this Ducati Ultramotard would probably be hard to beat anyway!

Konica Minolta replica Honda VFR400R NC30

Would you believe this snazzy little 400 is actually 15 years old...?!

Yeah, we know, we’ve been doing a lot of Honda posts of late. But then today we came across this rather interesting looking Konica Minolta replica NC30, and couldn’t resist posting the pics here.

Based in Chiang Mai, Thailand, K-Conversions have been in the custom bike building business for the last six years, and going by the pics on their website, this NC30 seems to be their best work yet.

This 1993 model NC30, the price for which is pegged at US$4,500 has done less than 30,000km, and K-Conversions claim that its brakes are excellent, and the chain, sprockets, and fork and shock seals have all been recently replaced. The bodywork is all custom-made and, well, we think the bike looks cool!

Visit the K-Conversions website for more details.

Japan-only Honda CBR1000RR and CBR600RR track specials!

The 2008 Fireblade and CBR600RR, made lighter, meaner and more track-focused than ever before. But you can only buy them in Japan...

According to a report on Motociclismo, Honda have announced the availability of special, track-prepped Fireblades and CBR600RRs. Tweaked to the max and pared to the bone, these bikes are currently only available in Japan, though Honda might also sell these in other markets later.

Mods to the CBR600 include the fitment of new fork springs and shock absorbers and a racing exhaust, and removal of anything that doesn’t help make the bike go faster. The Fireblade gets a close-ratio gearbox, a more robust, higher-revving engine with new cams and valves, fully adjustable high-spec suspension, an HRC clutch kit and, of course, a lap timer. The ride height at the rear is adjustable, and in order to keep the weight down, Honda have even ditched the catalytic converter, since these bikes are only meant for track use.

These track-special Fireblades and CBR600RRs are apparently meant for racing teams as well as individuals who do not use their bikes outside of the racetrack. No word yet on whether these track-specials will be made available outside Japan, but we’ll keep you posted…

Bad Buggy: The Fireblade-powered Rage R180RT

With 180bhp and 400-450kg kerb weight, this Rage R180RT is the right 'family car' for the Faster and Faster lot. Dunno what the family would say though...

It creators, the UK-based Rage Motorsport, say that the R180RT is ‘effectively three vehicles in one – an extreme performance road car, a track car, and an off road racer.’ We think this mad… creation, fitted with the 180bhp Honda Fireblade engine – is the ‘family car’ for those who’d rather have a litre-class superbike anyway.

Fully assembled, the R180RT costs about US$47,000 – quite a big chunk of money for a kit car! But then this car (okay, buggy...) is fitted with the Fireblade's 180bhp inline-four, mated to a Quaife six-speed (plus one reverse) manual-shift gearbox. The chassis is tubular spaceframe, which Rage claim has been ‘tested beyond FIA standards.’

The R180RT rides on 13-inch alloys, shod with Yokohama 185/60 (front) and 205/60 (rear) rubber. Suspension is double wishbone all around, with adjustable, gas-charged dampers. Steering is a rack-and-pinion arrangement, with 1.7 turns lock to lock. Kerb weight figures are not available, but we guess it would be around 400-450 kilos. So with 180bhp driving the rear wheels, performance should be eye opening…

While the R180RT is supplied to customers in tarmac trim, by replacing the road springs with off-road units, increasing the ride height and fitting off-road tyres, Rage claim that you will have a vehicle ‘that can offer WRC performance on a rally stage and the hill climbing ability of a mountain goat.’ You still don’t get a heater or a stereo though, so make up your mind if you really want one...!

Muzzy Kawasaki Raptor 850: Holy Kaw!

The 160bhp Muzzy Kawasaki Raptor 850. Cool, eh?

Back in the 1980s and 1990s, Muzzy and Kawasaki had a strong partnership going, especially in the US. In the 80s, Rob Muzzy was tuning Kawasaki superbikes for Eddie Lawson and Wayne Rainey. Later, Muzzy-fettled ZXR750s and ZX-7Rs were raced successfully, and together, Muzzy and Kawasaki won a World Superbike title, four Daytona 200s, four AMA Superbike Championships, three AMA 750 Supersport crowns and an AMA 600 Supersport title. Not bad, eh?

In 1997, Muzzys Performance Products decided to do a special motorcycle that would be in the Honda RC45 league. The starting point was stock ZX-7Rs and the aim was to bring pro-racer superbike performance to the street. The 7R’s 750cc inline-four was bored out to 835cc, tolerances were blueprinted, and very high spec engine internals were used, resulting in 150-160bhp at the rear wheel! Apart from the 835cc engine, the Muzzy Kawasaki Raptor 850 also featured a heavily reworked chassis and high-end suspension components.

Only 50 of these Raptors were ever made, with each bike costing about US$18,000 – quite a bit back in the late-1990s. And this was without the optional single-sided swingarm, with pushed the price up to about US$20,000. Today, given that all the 50 bikes made would be more than 10 years old, a Raptor in mint condition would be hard to come by. If you can find one, it would probably cost somewhere in the region of US$25,000 or more, depending on the condition of the machine.

Some owners say that Raptor 850s can be a bit temperamental, and that the Muzzy Kawasaki is best suited to the track rather than the street. Also, we suppose parts would be hard to come by today, the bike would be difficult to maintain in top condition, and even if you throw a lot of money at it, the Raptor 850 probably still wouldn’t match up to current litre-class superbikes in terms of outright performance and handling prowess. Still, as a piece of 1990s race-bred exotica, we think the Raptor 850 is just so, so cool…

This is, supposedly, Mr Muzzy's very own 1994-model ZX-7R. It's got a close-ratio gearbox, flatslide carbs, carbonfibre bodywork, aluminum fuel tank, Muzzy road race Titanium exhaust (with jetting to match), shortened swingarm, and raised rearsets. A few years later, this machine probably formed the basis for the Raptor 850…

Wild rides: MotoGP bike vs 600-kilo bull!

We really wonder which beast is harder to control!

So what’s tougher – riding a 150kg, 240 horsepower MotoGP machine, or trying to ride a rampaging 600-kilo bull? MotoGP bikes will accelerate from zero to 100km/h in about two seconds and from 100km/h to 290km/h in less than 10 seconds. Powered by 800cc, four-cylinder engines, these two-wheeled missiles will hit top speeds of about 340km/h and during high-speed corners, they can be leant over at angles of up to 60 degrees. Truly awesome. But how does MotoGP compare with professional bull riding (PBR)?

While MotoGP riders work with teams of highly skilled technicians who fine-tune the bikes the way riders want, professional bull riders don’t even get to pick their bull for competition events. Bull riders are randomly paired with available bulls, and during an event, they must ride the bull using only one hand. (During their rides – each of which lasts for eight seconds – riders are disqualified if they touch themselves or the bull with their free hand.)

Professional bull riding and MotoGP. See how the two sports are a bit similar...

In a competition, riders get points based on how difficult their bull is to ride – judges look for bulls with speed, power, drop in the front end, kick in the back end, directions changed and body rolls. (A body roll is when a bull is in the air and kicks either his hind feet or all four feet to the side.) On the rider’s part, judges look for good body position, constant control, and the ability to match moves with the bull.

Hmm… so let’s see. Though they won’t hit 300km/h, the bulls aren’t fitted with any kind of traction control or other electronic rider aids. Like a MotoGP bike, a bull might try to highside its rider. And while a YZR-M1 or ZX-RR will usually not try to trample and gore its rider to death, a bull just might do that. So would it be fair to say that professional bull riders are harder than the MotoGP boys? Er…, you decide!

The Freddie Spencer saga...

The Ducati 1098R is just awesome, it's beyond anything that words can describe. But is it more desirable than the MV Agusta F4 CC...?!

Motoring magazine interviews Claudio Castiglioni

Mr Castiglioni. Likes good-looking women. Owns MV Agusta. Makes the most beautiful bikes in the world. Luckiest bloke around, eh..?

Cagiva have an agreement with an Indian two-wheeler manufacturer, Kinetic, who are now manufacturing the Mito 125 for Cagiva. These bikes are assembled at Kinetic’s manufacturing facility in Pune, India, and are then exported out of the country, to be sold in Europe and possibly elsewhere.

Recently, Pablo Chaterji, a photographer-journalist with a popular Indian automotive magazine – Motoring – traveled to Italy, where he met up with and interviewed none other than Claudio Castiglioni himself. Mr Castiglioni, of course, is the man who owns MV Agusta and Cagiva brands. Here are a few excerpts from what the great man had to say:

On selling off Husqvarna to BMW

Claudio Castiglioni: “This was a decision that we very carefully considered over a long while. Ultimately we decided that it was important to take care of our two important brands in the same way, and with equal attention. So we’ve decided to focus our attention mainly on the MV Agusta brand, and also on expansion of our brands.”

On the future of the F4

CC: “Our aim at MV Agusta is, of course, to make a product grow, but we don’t want to transform a product either. We would rather that the product evolved, rather than changed altogether. If a person bought an MV Agusta tomorrow morning, then five years later the bike would still be cutting edge. And even if we were to offer new models, then we would do so according to this policy.”

On his own role in the development of the F4

CC: “I was involved one hundred percent – from the conceptualization, to the first sketches to the finished product.”

On how it was to work with Massimo Tamburini

CC: “We worked extremely well together, as a matter of fact.”

On the possibility of MV making a supermotard

CC: “We may examine the possibility of getting into the supermotard segment, but if we did it, it would be according to our core values at MV Agusta. Firstly, of course, it would be different from anything else on the market. Secondly, it would be of higher quality and at a higher price as well, since we are essentially a luxury brand!”

On MV's plans of getting into MotoGP

CC: “Not at the moment, no. I tell everyone that MV Agusta is the most historic name in motorcycle racing. We’re the Ferrari of bike racing. We will come back, of course, but we will come back to win.”

On whether he still rides

CC: “Yes, I do ride. My favourite bike is the Brutale, but for a rush of emotion, I ride the F4! I don’t go on long rides anymore though.”

On his favourite bike racers

CC: “My favourite riders are Rossi and Capirossi.”

On whether Rossi can win the MotoGP world championship this year

CC: “Well, he has Bridgestones now, so let’s see. But his engineers also have to work very hard, because his bike was just too slow [last year.] It was very bad!”

On his favourite cars

CC: “Well, I drive an Alfa Romeo 166 at the moment. I also have three Ferraris – an F40, which I think is the best Ferrari ever made, a Testarossa and a 360 Modena.”
