2011 Kawasaki ZX-10R Revealed
Top to bottom makeover for the big Kwak
From the September, 2010 issue of Super Streetbike
But that's all soon to change. Kawasaki seems to be the first Japanese firm to accept the BMW S1000RR's open challenge to match its advanced electronics and astonishing power output. While we don't have specifics regarding the new engine, we do know that the 2011 ZX-10R will feature adjustable traction control and an ABS system along with radically different (and badly needed) styling. After the first test sessions we've heard reports of significantly faster lap times over the 2010 version, so we're guessing the Japanese upgraded the suspension while instituting a strict rice and seaweed diet to trim the fat.

Aprilia USA Introduces the 2011 Aprilia 750 Shiver to U.S. Dealers
Race-Inspired Design
The Shiver’s sportier look is attributed to the introduction of a short windshield and aggressive wave brake rotors. The Shiver also comes closer to the rider’s needs with a two-inch narrower saddle, yielding better bike control. Additionally, the rider foot pegs are set backwards and the handlebar curves set to the front end allowing the rider to assume a more race-riding position. The Shiver is also outfitted with a 5.5x17-inch rear wheel, which provides improved handling and also increases turn-in speed.

Engineered for Power, Stability and Smoothess
To ensure the rider has power and stability, the Shiver is designed with the multi-map integral Ride by Wire technology that was developed from racing experience gained with the Aprilia RSV4 superbike. With the simple touch of the starter control, the rider can select one of three maps (even while moving with closed throttle), including:
To ensure the rider has power and stability, the Shiver is designed with the multi-map integral Ride by Wire technology that was developed from racing experience gained with the Aprilia RSV4 superbike. With the simple touch of the starter control, the rider can select one of three maps (even while moving with closed throttle), including:
- "Sport" to use when the rider wants to kick the bike in high gear;
- "Touring" when smoother power delivery and fluidity are essential during the moments when the racing desires are set aside to enjoy a more relaxing ride, even two-up;
- "Rain" when the road grip is not as good as it should be and maximum safety is the main objective.
Exceptional Performance
The Shiver’s V-90 engine achieves outstanding output values, with a maximum output of 95 horsepower at 9,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 81 Nm at 7,000 rpm. The engine features the Aprilia twin-cylinder, which combines an exceptionally high level of output with maximum exploitation rates and user-friendly riding options. With top-of-the-class output levels, the Shiver delivers generous torque over most of the rpm range, insignificant vibrations and smooth full-power delivery.

1200 Aprilia Tuareg
Motomodif: We view with some test on the road, un'enduro large displacement and vocation fuoristradistica signed with Aprilia. No pictures but here's a preview of how it could be 1200 Aprilia Tuareg. It could be that, in our opinion, the name dell'endurona which is already testing Aprilia Road, perhaps waiting to present at 2009 dell'Eicma with other forms of cylinder 1200 to be adopted on Dorsoduro, and Shiver Shiver GT. We, meanwhile, thanks to the collaboration of our designer Luca Bar, we have begun to envisage how it could be, according to observation fleeting but also from close range of the prototype that is already turning to the streets to be tested. We saw it while going with a KTM 990 Adventure, which suggests that there will not be far away, if only as the concept. Still lacked definitive superstructure but a first idea we could able to do. And behold, then, the front 21 "to what is, for example, that on his BMW 1200 GS mounts a wheel the size or the longer road with cousin Guzzi Stelvio. Chassis lattice, in perfect Aprilia style which gives us many years of cycling in all respect and will not fail - we are sure - to do the same on the new Tuareg twenty years later.
Returning to the name, we think that would be abandoned the mark "Caponord" which - though successful - was associated with a motorcycle and off road, and of different design. So why not to dust the Tuareg who created so many riders and so many dreams? However, now that you exit from Pegaso Aprilia list, one could also imagine displacements smaller for the new Tuareg who could also count on the 750cc engine that debuted in 2007 on the Shiver.
We are, therefore, information officers or, at least, new sightings to update you on the new Aprilia from road enduro.
MV Agusta F4 2010
Motomodif: Few days at the debut of the new sport of MV Agusta with 186 horses. After the savage in two displacements, renewed the F4 over the years has drawn new stylistic canons MV Agusta F4 2010.

All New 2011 Suzuki GSX-R600 and GSX-R750 Unveiled, Official Photos and Info
Suzuki set its sights on improving three key elements; track performance, styling and weight reduction. Official numbers will be released later today, but unofficially the new GSX-R600 is 20 Lbs. lighter than its predecessor with the 750 losing about 19 Lbs. What does that mean for wet weight, how about 410- and 416-Lbs. for the 600 and 750.
No detail was overlooked either, as Suzuki went through a painstaking process of trimming the excess fat. Team Blue and White managed to cut over 2 Lbs. with the new frame and amazingly shed another 7 Lbs. with the fresh bodywork. In addition to thinner body panels, Suzuki simplified the number of fairing pieces from 40 to 32 and even saved another 1 Lb. with the new headlight.
The engine also went on a serious diet, as it’s now over 4 Lbs. lighter than the previous mill. Piston skirts and pin bosses on the 600 were carved to the tune of a 14% weight loss and the connecting rods were also lightened by 12%. If you think that’s insane, Suzuki also moved the ECM and all of its components from the tailsection to underneath the tank, since less wires means a 330 gram weight savings…yeah, Suzuki was that serious about making weight.
Along with an overall decrease in total engine heft, the motor is also more powerful. This bump in steam comes courtesy of lighter internal components, increased compression and a massaging of the piston surfaces for a robust midrange and top-end hit. To maximize the lightweight motor, Suzuki also reworked the transmission with a taller first gear and a tighter stack thereafter¬—a combo that is said to be “telepathic” on the track where you’ll never get caught between gears.
Along with the lightweight frame and feathery motor, Suzuki also shortened the wheelbase by 15mm, while leaving the new swingarm the same length as the previous unit. By rotating the engine 3-degrees inside the frame, Suzuki was able to tighten the package for improved turn-in feel, while retaining the longer swingarm length to keep on-throttle exits in check.
Along with the new bodywork that’s best described as stunning, the ergonomics have also been tweaked with a shorter, more sloped gas tank that allows taller riders to better tuck behind the screen. Front and rear overhang have also been decreased for less weight, creating a stance that's off the charts.
While horsepower figures and official weights aren’t available yet, the MSRP (suggested retail) for the two Gixxers was…which might be the biggest news yet. The GSX-R600 has a retail of $11,599 and the GSX-R750 rings in at $11,999. Yeah, you read that right, the 750 is only $400 more than the 600. How’s that for a bargain?
Stay tuned for the full write-up in the January issue of Super Streetbike, but until then, here are the highlights and a few pics.

where: Maryland International Raceway in Budd's Creek, MD, USA
Rain bracketed both ends of Maryland International Raceway's Fast by Gast Superbike Finals but failed to derail the event completely. Fifteen inches swamped the Budd's Creek area in the days leading up to the race, forcing event manager Jason Miller to extreme track overhaul measures on Friday. He promised a fast track and the MIR staff delivered. 466 racers ignored the weather to compete at MIR's last Mickey Thompson Performance Tires MiRock Superbike Series race of the year and set 6 new records along the way.
Orient Express Pro Street number 2 plateholder Rodney Williford qualified number 1 in that class with a 7.15 at 203—gobs quicker than the 23 other entries. But Williford redlit to Mike Slowe in round 2 of eliminations. Slowe then beat Mike “Dead Heat” Claycomb in the semi. National record holder Bud Yoder beat Rob Budgell in a Michigan grudge match in the other semi before the rains came. Neither finalist can make the November MiRock final in North Carolina so they split the purse.
The Mickey Thompson Performance Tires MiRock Superbike Series races next November 6-7 at the Lee's Performance Finals at Rockingham Dragway in Rockingham, North Carolina, USA.
