Word out of Japan is that a new Yamaha R1 has been confirmed for launch later this year.
Some were predicting that Yamaha will replace the current awesome engine of the R1 with a three-cylinder version. It is said that that is not true. Instead, the new R1 will use an updated version of the current four-cylinder crossplane crank engine. (more…)

British MotoGP rider Cal Crutchlow was reported to have undergone surgery last week on both forearms to help prevent arm pump yet again.
Professionally known as chronic exertional compartment syndrome or CECS which is common with athletes, this injury basically makes the muscles in the affected area under perform or becomes weak.
Doctors will usually cut a small incision to the muscle to relieve pressure in that area. Several weeks rest is recommended after such procedure.

A hard task considering that the SP only weights around 171kg which gives it a big boost on its power to weight ratio.
The new colour scheme will be available starting this September.
