Spies to move to Monster Tech 3 Yamaha MotoGP in 2010

Texan to join fellow Lone Star Statesman Colin Edwards at Monster Tech 3 Yamaha team


In what was a wild-rumored but still somewhat expected considering the ambiguity of previous announcements when the company revealed that current World Superbike rider Ben Spies has signed for two more years, Yamaha announced today that Spies will actually move directly to MotoGP next year , instead of living in the World Superbike series for one year before making the move to the Premier class in 2011. Spies will be joined by fellow Texan Colin Edwards of Tech 3 Yamaha Monster team, replacing former World Superbike champion James Toseland, who will take Spies' place in the squad WSBK Yamaha. The spies' old crew chief Tom Houseworth and mechanic Greg Wood will also make a move together with Spies to MotoGP.

"I want to thank Yamaha globally because of their faith in me," said Spies. "They've treated me like a king! Yamaha recently allowed me to rethink my contract for 2010-2011; I sign for the WSB for 2010, but after I started thinking about Indy competition and my age versus waiting until 2011. This is not an easy decision, Yamaha World Superbike team and crew has been especially Massimo Meregalli was fantastic and very pleasant to be included in one season together. I hope that I can give May, Laurens Klein Koerkamp and others to remember the championship this year with me. Thank I love also extends to the 'Infront', promoters of WSB series, especially Paolo Ciabatti. I've enjoyed the series and this first year racing in Europe. Now I have two challenges, to finish this year provides the best and to move toward goal - new goals in MotoGP. Herve Poncharal at Tech 3 is to show support by allowing me to come on board with my crew chief Tom Houseworth and Gregory Wood, my mechanic, who have both been with me since the AMA today. We will have a learning curve to overcome next year but I woke up to a new purpose. I hope to have a good year and my goal is to try and stay on top of 6-8, considering the talented line up, will be difficult. With the world upside down, there is one constant for me and that's Yamaha. "

Lin Jarvis, Managing Director of Yamaha Motor Racing, will see Spies' move as a preventive measure for the year 2011, when the second contract Fiat Yamaha rider Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo ended. "Following the announcement of Ben's two-year deal with Yamaha one month ago, he has re-elect him and decided that he wanted to move to MotoGP sooner rather than later," said Jarvis. "Yamaha has considered the request and with Tech 3, we can find a way to make it happen. Ben has done a fantastic job in rookie season in World Superbike and now we are very excited to welcome him to the GP program faster than we expected originally . We believe that Ben would be a quick study next season and a strong future championship competitors. We look forward to working with him in the years to come. "

Toseland's moved back to the World Superbike has been estimated, as a result has been sub-par for the two British riders in the MotoGP season. Meanwhile, the current team Edwards has consistently out-performing him, with a much publicized spat between the two because of Toseland's "poaching" Edwards' former crew chief this year and increase the American motivation in the team's increasing tension. With Spies take place, it would bet that the wall separating the two Monster Tech 3 Yamaha rider (as well as the factory Fiat Yamaha team) will be taken down.

2010 - Ducati unveils Hypermotard 796 for 2010

Ducati introduces a smaller, lighter, more affordable Hypermotard

For those Ducatisti who longed for a smaller and more affordable version of the Hypermotard 1100, Ducati has answered for 2010 with the new Hypermotard 796. Using an enlarged version of the air-cooled two-valve V-twin found in the Monster 696, the Hypermotard 796 powerplant cranks out a claimed 81 horsepower and 56 ft/lb of torque, and includes the APTC clutch that reduces both lever effort and back-torque during downshifting. The triple clamps have been “redesigned” (no specifics were available, although we’d venture to guess it probably means that the trail has been reduced for lighter steering effort), and the frame layout has been revamped to allow for a nearly one-inch-shorter seat height. Claimed dry weight is 368 pounds, which should make for an agile-handling supermoto machine

The Hypermotard 796 will be available at authorized Ducati showrooms beginning in December 2009. Color selections will include Ducati red, matte black, and matte white. MSRP for the Hypermotard 796 will be $9,995, joining the Monster 696 in Ducati’s sub- $10,000 price bracket; a bargain for the handmade Italian motorcycle.

The first public showing of the Hypermotard 796 will be at Milan’s EICMA international motorcycle show in November. Full information on the entire range of Ducati motorcycles can be found at www.ducati.com

2010 Honda VFR1200 to have dual-clutch semi-auto gearbox option

New F1-style semi-automatic transmission to be option on new VFR – plans to include on more sportbikes


By stacking both clutches inline on top of one another (red and blue) while functioning independently, Honda was able to keep the bulk and weight of the system down, as well as allow it to be retro-fitted fairly easily to existing engines.



By having each clutch control an alternating set of gears, the system allows the next gear to be "pre-selected", cutting down drastically on power interruption and shift time, making the gearchange feel seamless.

A unique "dual input" shaft allows the separate clutches to be stacked in the same location as a conventional clutch, reducing bulk and weight.





Much of the electro-hydraulic circuitry for the Honda Dual Clutch system is located directly on the engine or internally, reducing overall bulk.






The Honda Dual-Clutch system is fully integrated into the EFI's ride-by-wire control, meaning downshifts should be similarly seamless, with the system most likely keeping one or two of the throttle butterfly valves cracked open to bleed off engine vacuum and reduce backtorque.





A version of Honda’s new VFR1200 sport-tour motorcycle will come equipped with the world’s first semi-automatic dual clutch transmission, according to information recently released by Honda Japan. Unlike previous “semi-automatic” designs that have recently made their way into motorcycling, the new Honda unit is not a CVT transmission such as that used on the Aprilia Mana and even Honda’s own DN-01 (basically the same as those used in most automobiles, relying on a heavy and inefficient torque converter to function as a clutch) nor is it just a electro-hydraulically-operated conventional clutch as found on the now-discontinued Yamaha FJR1300 AE. The new dual clutch transmission is basically very similar in function to the semi-automatic gearboxes used by Formula One and World Rally Championship racecars, allowing seamless, lightning-quick gearshifts with none of the inefficiency or quirkiness of previous motorcycle-specific units.

Why two clutches? One of the disadvantages of the constant-mesh transmission is that engaging the next gear involves connecting one set of gears that are already spinning to a set of gears that aren’t rotating. This requires interrupting the power being applied so that the gearsets can disengage and slide over to engage another; the gears’ engagement dogs (male/female slotted connectors on the inner portion of each gear ring) are made to stay connected under power for obvious reasons. The interruption not only wastes power that could be used for acceleration, but it also upsets the chassis and suspension due to the sudden torque pull on the chain or driveshaft when the power is stopped and then re-applied.

The multiple clutch system works by having each clutch work a specific set of gears; in the Honda’s case, one clutch works with odd-numbered gears (1st, 3rd, 5th) while the other handles the even-numbered ones (2nd, 4th, 6th). The two clutches operate independently and alternately to perform gear changes. For example, when changing from 1st to 2nd gear, the engine’s ECU detects the upshift and engages 2nd gear, then releases the clutch controlling 1st gear while simultaneously engaging the clutch handling 2nd gear. So instead of having to take the time to connect a spinning gear to a stationary one as in a conventional transmission, the dual clutch system basically already has the gear engaged. Because there is virtually no interruption of power and the clutches are electro-hydraulically controlled, the gearchanges are not only seamless but are also accomplished far quicker than any human can.

The unique aspect of the Honda dual clutch transmission is that it features a light, compact design that allows the system to be combined with existing motorcycle engines without requiring a complete revamp of the engine’s layout. The new system employs dual input shafts and a patented inline clutch design, and concentration of hydraulic circuitry beneath the engine cover to reduce mass. The shift mechanism design is based on that of a conventional motorcycle shift drum, so it isn’t overly bulky or heavy.

In order to respond to rider demands in a broad range of situations, the transmission is equipped with three operating modes: two fully automatic modes (D-mode for regular operation and S-mode for “sporty riding”), and a 6-speed manual mode that the rider operates by paddles on the left handlebar. Optimized shift scheduling in the auto modes achieves fuel economy equal to or better than that of a fully manual transmission, enabling the Honda Dual Clutch Transmission to deliver both performance and economy combined.

One very interesting aspect of the Honda announcement was the company “intends to gradually expand the deployment of the new transmission to more and more of its large-displacement motorcycles, particularly sports models destined for use in developed countries.” In other words, don’t be surprised to see this dual clutch semi-automatic transmission on the CBR1000RR (and maybe the 600RR?) in the future.

BMW Launch Motorrad Range of High Performance Motorcycles in India

If you are not satisfied with Hayabusa, Fireblade or Yamaha R1, then you should look forward to the BMW motorcycles which would enter into the Indian market in the near future. Almost 13 years after its abortive attempt to enter the Indian market through a joint venture with the Hero Group, German luxury carmaker BMW is planning another foray into the country’s minuscule high-end motorcycle market.


The company is studying India’s high-end and premium motorcycle market to introduce its Motorrad range of super bikes in India, said a top BMW India official. “Our people from BMW Motorcycle are having a look at the market. They are also in discussion with us for feedback on the matter.

As soon as we see potential for available market entry for sustainable growth, we would take that into consideration,” said Peter Kronschnabl, president, BMW India. The bikes of the Motorrad range will cost more than Rs.10 lakh in India, said another BMW India official.

The all new Yamaha Fazer launched

India Yamaha launched the much awaited motorcycle “Yamaha Fazer” 6th July 09 in India.

The Fazer, gets its DNA from the global Fazer series known for their sports touring, awesome looks. It has a “Look-at-me” appeal with the triple macho design concept giving it a concentrated form with excellent ergonomics. It has the beautifully contoured color – coordinated aerodynamic cowling to keep the wind blast at bay. With its comfortable riding position and seat the rider can enjoy a week end getaway or head off on a touring holiday

Just like FZ16 and FZ-S, Fazer carries the Monocross suspension to ensure agile running performance and handling. The placement of this model’s ‘MidShip Muffler’ toward the center of the machine gives it a good concentration of mass, exhaust efficiency and handling. Fazer has the “140/60-17” size rear radial tyre with a 60% aspect ratio contributes to better grip and handling stability.

Best of 2009 - Standard Motorcycles of the Year

Ducati Monster 1100

The new M1100 is the best-ever example of Ducati's popular Monster series, combining sexy Italian design with an excellent chassis and lusty, torquey V-Twin grunt that helped make Ducati famous the world over.

The Italians followed up the lively new Monster 696 with this 1100cc version of its revered air-cooled Desmo V-Twin, and it knocked our socks off with its all'-round versatility, rich character and a huge grin factor.

The big Monster has cozy ergos that welcome urbane commuter duties, as a proper standard should, but it also has the capable chassis and grunty power to terrorize repli-racer sportbikes on a twisty road. Low-rev neck-snapping performance combines with neck-snapping Italian good looks. Ducati's mondo Streetfighter model is much more powerful, but the M1100 is at least as much fun and is thousands cheaper.



Honorable Mention – Harley-Davidson XR1200

The XR1200 will rearrange your perception of Harley-Davidson performance. Here Pete imagines himself taking the checkered flag at the Springfield Mile.

When Harley-Davidson announced in summer 2007 it had created a new model called the XR1200, but that it was a Euro-only unit, everyone here in the States asked why we were left out. Then, after listening to the loyal masses, the Motor Company conceded and made it available for the U.S. as an '09.

Ergonomically the XR1200 strikes a good compromise between aggressive canyon attacker and sensible, upright everyday ride. And the potent Nissin brake calipers are crazy powerful. The flat-tracker look-alike styling is a head-turner, and the reliable 1200cc Sporty Twin has been massaged to yield the most horsepower of any air-cooled mill ever to emerge from H-D. Our only criticism is limited lean angle on the exhaust side impeding super-aggressive cornering, but you have to be the fast guy in your crowd for that to be a concern.
