I have been reading a lot of rumors about this in the news on many blogs. This time it is closer to be getting real as a Sportmediaset has announced that Rossi has signed two-year deal with Yamaha in their daily TV sports update. The news is said to be officially aired on August 15th.
I’m hoping we can see more Yamaha Limited Edition bikes with Rossi 46 livery soon as we always had in the years when Rossi is with Yamaha.

BMW Motorrad presents the lightest 4-cylinder supersports bike in the 1000cc class to date, the BMW HP4. Based on the BMW S 1000 RR – or RR for short – the new sports motorcycle has an output of 142 kW (193 hp) and weighs just 199 kilos including Race ABS and with a 90% full fuel tank (169 kg dry weight with Race ABS).
The new BMW HP4 sees its world premiere in 2012 and is a continuation of BMW Motorrad’s HP model series founded in 2005. After the boxer models HP2 Enduro, HP2 Megamoto and HP2 Sport, the BMW HP4 is the first 4-cylinder motorcycle in the HP family. (more…)
Let me start this post with a photo gallery. You can click on the image to see bigger picture.
This new Ninja 250R set to be released by the end of this year for 2013 sales has been given a nice upgrades in terms of styling and in the engine department. The style are now much sharper and looks modern enough for any riders to take notice of it on the road. 250cc bikes is an important market for ASEAN countries since lots of the riders ride moped. Given the category of this 250cc as the beginner superbikes, it makes a lot of sense for riders of moped to upgrade their bike to this category before proceeding for bigger capacity bikes. (more…)
This year, Yamaha 135LC Hand Clutch 5-speed comes with a new additional colour that is red gray model. The livery looks like the previous black and white model that is available since 2011.
For this time, we can see that this 135LC 5-speed is no longer using IRC tyre and Enkei wheel. It has been replaced with Duro DM1198 tyre and the wheel has been replaced with Yamaha brand. I have checked out the bike and it seems that the tyre and wheel are looking high quality as we expect from Yamaha, but why no Enkei wheel anymore? (more…)
There has been a lot of discussion about this new Honda Future 125 on MM FB page and also on this post. I personally likes the features available for this bike. There are a few important features that I think are very important for this Honda Future to beat other bikes in the same category. The bikes in the same category are Axelo, Wave 125, Lagenda 115 and Ace 115. Even though Lagenda 115 and Ace 115 are 115cc and 120cc bikes, we can still consider it in the same category as there are no offering from both of the manufacturer that can provide 125cc 4-stroke moped model. Also, the price not differs much.
Important features of the Honda Future Helmet -In
1. Helmet-in Underseat Box
This is one of the very important feature of this new Honda bike. I have been struggling to keep my helmet every time I park my bike. You can use the helmet hook that is available on most bikes, but imagine if that time is raining. Your helmet will successfully become a good water basin. By keeping the helmet under the seat you can make sure it doesn’t become wet. Good thing!
If you were someone who like to wear expensive helmet like original SHOEI, ARAI or AGV, even just riding moped, you’ll definitely be thankful of this feature. You can properly secure the helmet invisibly under the seat. At least, we can reduce the potential of the helmet being stolen since it is not visible on the bike. Anyway, it’ll be a great loss if you lose everything including your bike to a thief. In the end, the helmet-in feature is an important feature for any moped that can give lots of benefit and enhance the security of helmet which is a good addition to this Honda Future (I don’t like the name Future though, since it is not so much futuristic at all).

Lorenzo and Spies are going to use the Jupiter Z1 as their paddock bike in Mugello. The Z1 has been decorated to a new livery that is identical to the livery of the YZR-M1 use for MotoGP. This is a great support for the exposure of the Jupiter Z1 and might make this bike become the next best seller for Yamaha in Indonesia.
