This is one of the nicest livery I have ever seen for a Cub Prix racing bike. This time, Maju Motor Racing has obtained the number 46 for their race plate number. The colour blue and minimalism livery design really gives the bike proper race looks. Many parts of the bikes comes from Racing Boy. We can see the use of the new wide SP522 5-spoke wheel that looks great on it. (more…)
The popular gasket for many bike tuners in Malaysia, Apple Gasket (not to be confused with Apple Computer) has been around for many years and has equipped us with lots of gasket size for our tuning needs. One of the gasket made by Apple is this racing 60mm complete gasket set for Yamaha 135LC. Usually the tuners need to custom made the gasket by themselves since there are no replacement gasket for bigger bore engine. Even if it is available, it would be very hard to find but this, Apple Gasket is easily available in many workshop in Malaysia based on my observation. Apple Gasket is made by NP Gasket and it is good to know that they listen to tuner needs. (more…)
Pista in Italy means track. So this AGV Pista GP is a helmet specially made for track rider. Previously, this helmet has been codenamed ‘Project 46’ with Valentino Rossi involved in the development of the helmet. This new helmet from AGV is extremely good. Here is what Rossi said about it:
“I am very happy with the interior shell”
“Great aerodynamics, it feels like I am not wearing a helmet”
“Excellent ventilation, it is really noticeable”
“Exaggerated visibility, like switching from the TV to the cinema”.
It features lots of improvement from the previous flagship helmet from AGV, that is the GP Tech. The shell for this state-of-the-art helmet is from carbon fiber which provides lightweight construction and high strength properties. The helmet is made in a process called ‘reverse engineering’, whereby the helmet is designed around the head contours of the rider. In this case, it was Rossi’s head. The visor has been improved with +15 degree opening that helps the rider to view the track better when flat out on the tank. All this without compromising the safety.
One of the concern of a rider like us is about the price. I think this one will not come cheap, maybe you need to save a lot money in long time before you can buy this. Or you can sell your bike to buy this helmet.

This stunt is being performed by Stephane Peterhansel which is the winner of Dakar Rally for 6 times. French magazine, L’Integral, has asked Peterhansel to do a special stunt for the magazine special issue. The picture here is being taken at the sandy hills of Merzouga in Morroco. By the way I see it, he must be one of the expert. He can make YZF-R1 fly!

Honda Motor Co. has prepared a superb story of their MotoGP history on a special website. I have read them all and I think it is being written by someone who really knows what is happening in Honda MotoGP involvement. You’ll get the chances to see the rare race bike like the RC166, the oval-piston NR500, 2-stroke legend NSR500 rode by Mick Doohan and the legendary 4-stroke RC211V rode by Rossi which can exceed speed of 330kph. Check out the special site (more…)
This video has been sent by Azizul Ab Aziz at MM FB fan page earlier. It features a bike that I have never seen before, the 1966 Honda RC166. It make me thinks that technology in the past are far more interesting that what we have now. Today, it is always about cutting cost, maximum profit and environment-friendly (not that I’m against it). Sometimes we need to satisfy our need of power at the dispense of our control like this small bike with monster heart. It sounded like what race bike should sound. Solid and powerful. It revs all the way to 18,000RPM. This is my dream 250cc bike.
