I just got this from Yulite, Sentul. Going to install to my bike and see what this spark plug can give. I also have checked on the net about its benefit. Check out the official statement by NGK and 13 more pictures after the jump (more…)

Ducati has been very busy lately with lots of their bike lineup. 1199 Panigale is the 2012 version of its superbike with two cylinder and 1199cc engine. It is going to be officially released this November.
The wait is almost over, the Ducati 1199 Panigale on its way.
The new generation Superbike will be unveiled at the EICMA International Motorcycle Show in Milan 10-13 November.
The new model not only will deliver record performance, breathtaking design and technical innovation, it also breaks with our Superbike tradition by adding a name to its 1199cc engine capacity, making a significant and warm association to its historic roots in the Borgo Panigale (pronounced “Pan-ee-gah-lee”) area of Bologna. In an Italian territory known as “Motor Valley” and where high performance and racing runs through the veins of its passionate people, we decided to underline our pride in being world ambassadors for the “Made in Italy” title by immortalizing our home town in the name of the best sportsbike ever built.

It looks brutal and dangerous. It looks like it ready to fight on the street. Aggressive styling and naked looks make it desirable enough for riders in search for good middleweight street bike.
Ducati confirm their 2012 Streetfighter 848 with the first officially released images of the brand new model set to add everyday accessibility to the Italian manufacturer’s famous naked sport bike family.
Combining a new and brilliantly engineered 848 Testastretta 11° engine with the enhanced geometry of a chassis that provides confidence-inspiring agility, the Streetfighter 848 has enriched its user-friendliness with a smooth and flexible power delivery, revised ergonomics and Ducati Traction Control.
The Ducati Streetfighter scored a round one knock-out when it entered the ring for the first time at the Milan show back in November 2008, winning the ‘Most Beautiful Bike’ award and raising the bar for extreme nakeds. Its asphalt-ripping reputation became the desire of sport naked connoisseurs throughout the world and the Streetfighter 848 will now widen that appeal even further with enhanced usability.
Available from November 2011 onwards, the new fighter is dressed in red for Ducati traditionalists, while yellow makes a return for mid-range purists and “dark stealth” provides a matte-black reminder of the Streetfighter’s aggressive image.

Another brilliant design by Marchesini for superbike especially Ducati. Comes in the size of front: 3.50 x 17; rear: 6.00 x 17. Price is estimated at USD3,000 (MYR9,000). I like this!
Just use elastic hook. Attach one end of the elastic hook to the bracket of the basket / carriage and the other one end to the seat underpin. Some bike seat doesn’t have underpin that be hooked like this such as Modenas Kriss, so, be creative and work your way out.

Born from MotoGP
With an exclusive new colour scheme based on Yamaha’s Assen TT-winning MotoGP bike, the WGP 50th Anniversary R1 celebrates Yamaha’s remarkable Grand Prix heritage. Featuring an innovative crossplane-crankshaft with an uneven firing interval, the R1 kicks out high levels of linear torque for superior traction. Using the MotoGP-developed TCS, R1 riders can now adjust the performance characteristics of the 998cc in-line 4-cylinder engine for more exciting cornering on the highway and reduced lap times on the circuit. A compact aluminium Deltabox chassis delivers precision handling – and for optimised high speed performance the latest R1 is equipped with a new front cowl.
The WGP 50th Anniversary R1 looks better than ever in our famous red, white and black factory-bike colour scheme! A WSB championship winner first time out, the crossplane-crankshaft R1 is the leading 1000cc in-line 4-cylinder bike on the street or track. For more controllable performance the latest YZF-R1 runs with a MotoGP-developed Traction Control System (TCS). Equipped with 6-modes, the new TCS reinforces the rider’s trust in the bike’s abilities, enabling you to unleash its full potential at the flick of a switch. With race-bred technology and race-bred style, nothing comes close to the look or feel of the new 50th Anniversary R1! (more…)
Naza Bikers Dream offers a lot of superbike choices with many styles to choose from whether it is naked, sports or supermoto. It might not be cheap, but the prices here are very competitive. My personal favourite is the Honda CBR600RR and Kawasaki ZX6R. It just looks nice.

Honda Supra 125X is also known as Honda Wave 125X in Malaysia. The 2012 version of this Supra in Indonesia has been named Honda Supra 125X Helm In. One of the most important feature of this bike is the availability of big capacity underseat compartment that is enough to fit helmet in (hence the name ‘Helm In’). Not just open face helmet, but the full face helmet can fit too! Other than the underseat compartment, the fuel tank capacity also has been enlarged to 5.6 liter! That is very large. Before this, the largest capacity fuel tank for bike under 125cc 4-stroke bike is held by Modenas CT110 at 5.3 liter which can bring the bike up to 250km in single fuel tank fill. This Supra 125X Helm In can extend that range all the way up to 287 km for the same single fuel tank fill. More information about the fuel efficiency data here.
The brakes also got upgraded to feature front and rear disc brake. Both are single-piston caliper equipped by Nissin. I have heard rumors that Boon Siew Honda Malaysia are going to replace the 125cc bike in their offering with new model. Some people say that it might be the Honda CS1, but this Supra 125X Helm In is also 125cc. Well, we just need to wait.
PT Astra Honda in Indonesia also have released the official pictures and colour offering. It is available in 4 colours that is Majestic Red, Legacy Green, Luxurios Gray and Royal Blue. (more…)
This Brembo M4 Monobloc radial caliper is made from a single block of aluminium. By doing this, the caliper will be able to withstand higher impact and posses less weight. It is absolutely one piece of engineering beauty. It just looks good. Anyway, this is for superbike application only and it is being sold in pair. Price is at €892.50 (MYR3,771.87). That is the same price you would pay for a new Modenas CT110 bike.
This M4 Monobloc has been fitted to the 2012 MV Agusta F3 Serie Oro. Beautiful. Just beautiful.

This is the newer version of radiator cover which is one of the popular accessories for Yamaha 135LC. Radiator cover can protect sharp and harmful pieces of shrapnel, debris or stone from hitting and damaging your 135LC radiator.
This one provides better airflow to the radiator and at the same time protect it. The Yamaha logo and Yamaha wording there adds nice touch of the cover. The price is also cheap. You should install this to your bike since the replacing radiator is very expensive.
