First Ride Ducati Streetfighter s 2010

The Ducati Street Fighter S has a sexy, expensive machine. It's like Tyler Durden in Fight Club: not a real bare-knuckles Pugilist, but a cheater Nice. The street fight, who is sitting in my garage is a 2001 Suzuki SV650, a guy crashed and resurrected as a surly, stupid punk rock. It destroyed the front has been upgraded to spec GSX-R750, Yoshimura pipes deafening and hand guards were bolted metal on the back and kicked the body was sprayed with rattle can black. My dose was $ 2.500, high-octane post-Katrina, the post-divorce. Ideal for the road warrior Street Los Angeles, but disapproved by the much less concerned about the police here in little sleepy Ventura.

Start with a framework of 1198, relaxing the inclination of 24.5 degrees to 25.6 degrees and add a new crib. Spread the swingarm 35 mm greater stability (which increases the wheelbase of 56.3 to 58.1 inches) and the use of a new axis delivery area. Use a dual-deck distribution and a sturdy butterfly-shaped lower triple tree. Add wrought, rubber-mounted handlebars and bands tapered aluminum handlebars. For the S-model, the use of the high plateau of Öhlins suspension, lightweight Marchesini forged wheels, as the base model, using Showa suspension and alloy wheels of 10 spokes. For high dollar cache, so that the cam belt covers S-model and carbon fiber front fender. Common to both models is an Öhlins steering damper Brembo brakes and cousin trick with steel pipes and new reservoirs of liquid. Two 330 mm discs at the front are experiencing radial-mounted calipers with four-piston monobloc radial master cylinder, while the rear gets a 245 mm disc and two piston caliper.

The Streetfighter S was introduced to Ronda, a town in the mountains of southern Spain which is home to the largest arenas in the country (Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles used to hang out there and poetically about bullfighting). We tested the S model, and wanted to emphasize that Ducati traction control, which is not available in the base model. Much to our regret, we do not drive on the roads near Round Mountain, but the Ascari Race Resort, a private 3.37 miles, 26-turn circuit. With charming Italian accent, the people of Ducati has a lot of hand waving and expressed concern about our security and police on the road. It is a pity, because these days on the track was terribly windy and is limited to five sessions of 15 minutes. We could have had more chemicals, more fun and less wind in the street.

Qualifying results of MotoGP Le Mans France

Although it might be hard to believe considering his form so far in the MotoGP World Championship, Valentino Rossi scored his first pole position of the 2010 season during qualifying for the French Grand Prix at the Le Mans Bugatti circuit. Rossi’s time of 1:33.408 held off the advances of Fiat Yamaha teammate Jorge Lorenzo and Repsol Honda’s Dani Pedrosa, while early session leader Casey Stoner had to settle for a spot on the second row on his Ducati after failing to improve as the session wore on. Stoner’s teammate Nicky Hayden was barely .021 second behind, but wasn’t exactly jumping for joy, feeling that his pace on race tires definitely needs improvement if he is to stay with the leaders "The second line is a positive result for us, because to be honest, my race pace was not great," said the Kentucky Kid "and now we have given ourselves a chance, because the beginning is very important here. We have made a great step cycle in the morning session, but was not really able to follow up with another afternoon, so we have work to do tonight, because right moment it is looking like a really difficult race for us"

Monster Tech 3 Yamaha's Colin Edwards drove hard to snatch eighth place network, although it was impossible to understand what he has to deal with the leader. "I'm riding as hard as I can, but I only finished eighth, Edwards said." These guys have fallen in front of half a second from pole time last year, and although I hate to say, I failed in the mid-33 Bike feel well and I think that is good but is work hard trying to drive the pace front of the group. We worked hard this weekend, and we seem to have corrected some of the problems we had in the first two races. I feel more comfortable with the bike and the front end is improving.

MotoGP Season - 2010 Qatar Results

The 2010 MotoGP premier class flavour opened much as due Sunday night in beautiful Doha, Qatar, with Casey Stoner on the pole and the two Fiat Yamaha studs on the front row. Five laps into the race, Stoner was finished for the night, and Round 1 was suddenly up for grabs. Valentino Rossi then spent added day at the duty demonstrating that he is the prizewinning in the business and the odds-on favorite to repeat as World Champion. However, whatever emerging guns are suggesting that it’s not all going to be business as customary in 2010.

Early on, digit could see this wasn’t going to be no steenkin’ procession. Although Rossi ended up leading 17 of the 22 laps, Dani Pedrosa, Stoner and an antecedent Andrea Dovizioso every enjoyed some time in the lead. At the moment when Stoner lost the front end on Lap 5, Rossi, Pedrosa, Nicky Hayden and Dovizioso were every within 3 seconds of him and within a half second of digit another. 

Jorge Lorenzo, New Kid in Town Ben Spies and a surprising Randy de Puniet were all running within three seconds of Dovizioso. Lap 6 of this race was about as good as it ever gets in MotoGP, with the top 13 riders all within 9 seconds of each other. It was, as they say in the Southwest Airlines commercials, “ON”.

• Three of the crowning octad finishers were Americans.
• Nicky Hayden is feat to be a factor again this year, the way he was in 2008. Not the champion he was in 2007, but a definite contender.
• Ben Spies is for real. A legitimate danger to win the denomination in the foreseeable future. Ditto for Dovizioso.
• Yamaha is the crowning machine discover there. Ducati haw be the most overrated machine discover there. Honda has a puncher’s quantity most weeks. Suzuki is discover to lunch.
• Randy de Puniet is improving. He haw belong in my mythical Division 1. In that he’s French, I wait him to run stronger in training than in races. At Doha he qualified 4th and ended 6th.
• Dani Pedrosa is not yet up to speed this year. Although he got soured to his usual un-freaking-believable start, he qualified 7th and ended 7th.
• For perhaps the prototypal time EVER, Jorge Lorenzo exhibited whatever patience and maturity. After getting soured to his usual poor start, he appeared content to settle backwards in 6th place. At Stoner’s exit he moved into 5th. At Lap 7 he sat in 4th place, where he remained, biding his time, until Lap 21, when he ate Hayden’s, and then Dovizioso’s lunch and got Rossi in his crosshairs. At the finish, he trailed Rossi by a plain second. If the race had lasted one more lap he probably would have won. Is this a new, improved Jorge Lorenzo, one with exclusive six engines to last an whole season? We’ll encounter out.
