Motorcycling: Lorenzo wins Catalunya MotoGP

BARCELONA:? Spain’s Jorge Lorenzo extended his lead in the overall standings yesterday as he won his second successive race, the Catalunya MotoGP. The Yamaha-riding 2010 world champion came home clear of compatriot Dani Pedrosa on a Honda while Andrea Dovizioso, on a Yamaha, edged world champion Casey Stoner for third. Lorenzo, 25, won his third race of the season and his 20th MotoGP and holds a 20- point lead over Stoner heading into the British race. After planting his signature flag in the gravel in front of his ecstatic fans, Lorenzo told Spanish television it was ‘fantastic’ to win in front of home support.“It was a balanced race,” said the flamboyant 25-year-old.

IOMTT: McGuinness Takes 18th TT Win in Superbike Race

Honda TT Legends rider John McGuinness has further solidified his status as King of the Mountain by claiming his 18th Isle of Man TT win today in the Dainese Superbike Race. First onto Glenclutchery Road, McGuinness took charge of the Superbike race immediately, despite a challenge from Cameron Donald in the early laps. Getting the full-team effort, McGuinness had two extremely quick pit stops, which helped put some distance between him and the Australian, and eventually ...

Friday Summary at Catalunya: On Weather, Ducati Upgrades, And The Cost Of Monopolies

After the fickle weather which has dogged the first three European rounds of MotoGP, the first day of practice at Barcelona weekend got off to a dry, warm and sunny start. It was just what the teams and riders needed, some dry track time to work on the issues they face: for Honda, the chatter which they have suffered since the introduction of the RCV213V in the middle of last year, for Ducati, the lack ...

MotoGP: The Mathematics of Marc Marquez

Casey Stoner’s retirement announcement marked the – unhealthily early – opening of MotoGP’s silly season, and with just two weeks having passed, it is, in the words of Nicky Hayden, “too early to start thinking about that.” At the moment, factories, teams, and riders are still absorbing the news and pondering their strategy for the many talks and negotiations which will surely follow. Though the paddock, the media, and the internet are full of speculation, ...

Stoner takes pole at Montmeló

Under glorious sunshine in scorching hot temperatures the MotoGP contingent took to the track to battle it out for grid spots for tomorrow's Gran Premi Aperol de Catalunya. In the premier class, it was Repsol Honda Team's Casey Stoner who secured pole position in dominant fashion ahead of Jorge Lorenzo and Cal Crutchlow.With a fast lap in the low 1.41s, set with a soft rear tyre, Stoner relegated Yamaha Racing Team's local rider Lorenzo into second on the grid, who was just over a tenth down on the current world champion. Stoner stated after the session that he will most likely be racing with the hard rear tyre, after sighting that the soft compound's wear rate seems too high for the race.Rounding out the front row is Monster Yamaha Tech 3's Cal Crutchlow, who equalled his best ever start, yet will be looking to convert it into a podium for the first time in his MotoGP career. Contrary to Stoner, Crutchlow confirmed that he would be starting the race with the soft compound, as he believes the hard tyre does not give a significant advantage.Just fractionally slower, Lorenzo's teammate Ben Spies will start from fourth, putting himself in contention for a much needed positive race result tomorrow. Next to him in fifth is Stoner's teammate and local favourite Dani Pedrosa, who ran off track in turn 10 on his hot-lap after out-braking himself, and was unable to improve on his time. Tech 3's Andrea Dovizioso completes row two in sixth place, after having led the qualifying session in the early stages.Seventh on the grid is Ducati Team's Nicky Hayden, who looked strong all day after posting the fifth fastest time in the morning practice. He ousted LCR Honda MotoGP's Stefan Bradl into eighth, who recovered from a small crash yesterday to finish as top Honda satellite rider.Ninth spot is occupied by Ducati's Valentino Rossi, who, following a difficult day yesterday, managed to rediscover some place after reverting back to a carbon fibre swingarm and old settings. San Carlo Honda Gresini's Álvaro Bautista completes the top ten, failing to emulate his second place in yesterday's practice.Highest CRT spot went to Power Electronics Aspar's Randy de Puniet in 13th, who managed to beat his local teammate Aleix Espargaró for the first time this weekend. Apart from Pedrosa's excursion off track, the only other rider to take a detour through the gravel was Avintia Blusens' Yonny Hernandez and Cardion AB Racing's Karel Abraham at the end.

89-90 ZX7 H model engine needed

89/90 ZX7 H engine needed

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey all,

I've been working on my 90 ZX7 for over a year and half now and thought I was coming to the end of the tunnel with it. I replaced numerous parts and had a couple fabricated. I finally took it to a shop and when the mechanic turned it over he had a bad look on his face. He said a rod was broke (usually no.3).

Anywho i got too many scraped knuckle hours to let it go so I'm wondering if anybody has a lead to an 89/90 ZX7 H model engine.

Thanks a bunch,
Matt

Up-Close with the Mugen Shinden (神電)

It is hard to believe that it was only last November that Mugen started its electric motorcycle racing program, and drafted the first designs of the Mugen Shinden (神電) motorcycle. In four months, the Japanese tuning brand, known better for its four-wheeled efforts than its two-wheeled ones, was proving its concept at Motegi with John McGuinness on-board, and had subsequent rounds at Suzuka and Caldwell Park. Mugen had of course been on the Isle of ...

Spy Photo: Are You The New Moto Guzzi Stelvio?

Is Moto Guzzi working on a new adventure model? These spy photos would seem to suggest that is the case, as this bike was caught outside of Piaggio HQ, with the longintudinal v-twin heads popping out of the sides of the spoked-wheel machine. Caught by Moto.it, the Italian publication seems to think this is more of a super/hypermotard type of machine, though the proportions to us look to be more well-suited for adventure touring.
