Up Your Game With The Ducati Panigale V4 Racing Accessories Kit

The Ducati Panigale V4 is a beast on and off the track with its 214hp and 124Nm.

Despite the fact that it already boasts a monstrous power, the wonderful people at Ducati decided that there is no such thing as enough power. This brings us to the Bologna-based motorcycle company latest product, the Panigale V4 Racing Accessories Kit.

The kit features a variety of racing-oriented components, including an Akrapovic Titanium Full Race Exhaust that increases peak torque and horsepower by six per cent.

Not only that, but the full-system exhaust also shed 5.4 kilograms off the V4.

However, the installation of the race exhaust requires an update on the engine mapping.

Moreover, the racing kit also offers an assortment of carbon fibre components, including a swingarm cover, clutch cover, chain guides, crankcase protector, and many more.

The looks of your V4 will look even more menacing with Rizoma mirror plugs and a tail tidy.

 

For those who are interested, the Panigale V4 Racing Accessories Kit will only cost you around USD8,200 (RM33,700).

KTM Powered CFMoto 800MT Officially Revealed

CFMoto has officially launched the all-new 800MT adventure touring motorcycle at the Shanghai Auto Show.

While product launches involving Chinese manufacturers tend to be overlooked, the 800MT is one you should look out for.

Despite made in China, the 800MT is powered by the same 799cc LC8 parallel-twin engine found on the KTM 790 Adventure.

CFMoto and KTM have been working together since 2011, with the Chinese manufacturer responsible for producing a few of the Austrian small-displacement motorcycles consisting of Duke 125, 250 and 390 in China.

This puts the CFMoto 800MT as a legit contender in the adventure-touring segment.

While the 790 Adventure offers 95hp and 88Nm max torque, the revised LC8 engine delivers 94hp and 78Nm.

Nevertheless, the 800MT comes with decent spec, including a KYB suspension and J.Juan radial callipers. The 800MT is not shy of electronics either, as it comes with a cornering ABS, traction control, ride-by-wire and riding modes.

The question is, will it arrived in Malaysia? After doing some digging, expect the CFMoto 800MT to arrive at the local showroom sometime in 2022.

KTM 890 Duke Tech 3 MotoGP Replica Edition Launched – Limited To 100 Units!

It is always interesting to find manufacturers taking a different approach in promoting their current motorcycle range.

KTM, for example, just launched an 890 Duke Tech 3 MotoGP Replica Edition with only 100 units of these bad boys produced exclusively for the French market.

The Tech 3 MotoGP Replica edition is based on the standard 890 Duke but injected with a fancy get-up consist of a MotoGP paint job, a belly-pan, Akrapovic exhaust system and a pillion seat cover.

However, it still runs with the powerful 889cc LC8 parallel-twin engine capable of producing 115hp and 92Nm found on the bone stock 890 Duke.

Surprisingly, despite being an ultra-rare machine, the limited-edition machine cost just 1,300 Euros more than the standard 890 Duke. In our book, that is a great deal!

Unfortunately, these limited-edition motorcycles are only available in France, the home base of Tech3 who are currently competing in MotoGP with KTM headed by Herve Poncharal.

Lexmoto LXS 125 Lands In The UK – Under-tail Exhaust Lives On!

Reliability aside, Chinese motorcycle manufacturer is good in one thing, developing an affordable small displacement bike for new riders.

That is exactly what Lexmoto (another Chinese motorcycle brand) is doing in the UK as they recently launched the all-new LXS 125 for the European market.

LXS 125 is a fully faired motorcycle that features the latest design and technology and is priced at EUR2,499 (RM12,366).

What you get are an excellent 10L fuel tank, full-LED lighting and a fully digital instrument.

Surprisingly, the LXS 125 also comes with (a rather unappealing) under-tail exhaust, which we think could have been designed better.

Despite powered by a small 125cc single-cylinder, water-cooled engine, it still churns out a healthy 13.6hp @ 8,750rpm and can achieve a top speed of 110kmph.

Suspension is handled by a telescopic fork at the front and a single shock absorber at the rear, while braking is done by a dual petal disc (front) and a single disc at the rear.

MotoGP: Yamaha NMAX To Continue As Official Paddock Scooters

Dorna and Yamaha have put pen to paper which will see the continuity of NMAX as official MotoGP paddock scooters beyond 2021.

According to the official statement, Yamaha will supply the newly updated 2021 NMAX 125.

Yamaha has been MotoGP official scooter supplier for all teams in the paddock since 2005 and will continue to do so for years to come.

Dorna received a total of 25 units of Yamaha NMAX 125 prior to last weekend MotoGP.

Director Marketing and Motorsport, Yamaha Motor Europe, Paolo Pavesio, expressed his excitement over the new deal.

“Yamaha has been the official supplier of scooters to Dorna Sports and the FIM MotoGP World Championship since 2005 and we’re proud that this partnership will continue in 2021.

“Yamaha will provide a fleet of the updated NMAX 125, a scooter that, with excellent agility, easy stability, generous inbuilt storage capacity and its sporty Yamaha DNA, has been a bestseller in both Europe and Asia and is a perfect fit for the demands of the MotoGP paddock,” he said.

Meanwhile, Managing Director of Dorna Sports, Pau Serracanta, also shared his perspective on the latest agreement.

“We’re very happy to continue our longstanding agreement with Yamaha and for them to remain on board as the official scooter supplier of the Championship. Yamaha supply quality, reliable scooters for Dorna staff to use in the MotoGP paddock and make the logistics of running the world’s fastest motorcycle World Championship that much more efficient.”

The Yamaha NMAX are also among the popular scooters in Malaysia despite only available with a 155cc engine.

MotoGP: Suzuki Commits Future Until 2026

Suzuki has officially extended their stay in MotoGP for the next five years from 2022-2026.

The Japanese marquee now joins KTM, Ducati, Honda and Yamaha in signing the new contract extension.

Suzuki recorded their first premier-class win in 2000 with Kenny Roberts Jr, who clinched the title with two races to spare.

Then between 2002-2011, Suzuki only claimed one race win before bowing out of MotoGP due to the financial crisis before returning in 2015 with an all-new GSX-RR that helps propelled the career of Maverick Vinales, Alex Rins and Joan Mir.

Mir emerged as Suzuki 2nd world champion by defying the odds to rule the 2020 season despite the global pandemic.

Suzuki is currently interested in fielding a satellite team ahead of the 2022 season, with Petronas, VR46 and Gresini as possible candidate.

Aprilia is now the last remaining manufacturer that has yet to re-sign with Dorna.

We like motorcycle boots that don't look like motorcycle boots. That just adds versatility to them and allows you to use them for purposes other than just riding.

Oh the blasphemy! We called the Trident 660 a beginner's superbike, but we standby it wholeheartedly. The Trident is fast and a lot of fun, but it is also very accessible for anyone with just a little bit of experience. And there's not much to worry about either, it is not overly complicated and neither is it very big and heavy. Are u a newbie looking to trade up to a bigger bike? The Triumph Trident 660 may just be worth a look. #TriumphMotorcycles #TriumphTrident #TriumphTrident660
