Our friend Liam Shubert (MotoLiam) was on OnTheThrottle.TV talking MotoGP last night, previewing some of the changes to the machines for 2010 and answering questions.  The OTT boys continue to be on the cutting edge for the coverage of Motorcycle roadracing.

Two Wheel Tuesday, YZR500 Replica

DateTuesday, February 16, 2010 at 6:00AM

I know, it's a real bombshell that I would post something two stroke related for Two Wheel Tuesday, but, come on, it's a YZR500 replica!!!  I know they show this as an Abe replica, and that paint scheme is one of my favorites, but there is nothing preventing you from doing this a bit different.

Anyway, MCN was down in Sydney and spent some time at Mico Products going over this bike.  Enjoy!

King Kenny Rides The TZ750 Again

DateTuesday, October 6, 2009 at 9:19PM

For this years MotoGP weekend at Indy, I truely think that more people came to see and were more excited about seeing Kenny Roberts ride the bike that "They don't pay me enough money to ride".  This is a nice bit put together by Dunlop, though I wish they would have had more video of Kenny at speed in the corners on the beast.

Honda Out Of US Motorcycle Roadracing

DateFriday, September 18, 2009 at 7:07PM

We aren't much for cutting and pasting press releases and calling it content, but this does pretty much sum it all up nicely.

Honda Press Release
Honda Racing Announcement
9-18-09


HEAD: Honda Racing announcement

For immediate release:

Torrance, CA: During the 2009 AMA/DMG Road Racing series, American Honda
Motor Company, Inc. contracted team personnel, including team Honda rider
Neil Hodgson, to the Corona Extra Honda race team.

Corona Extra Honda race team participated in this series with our
award-winning 2009 CBR1000RR in the AMA Superbike class, unfortunately
participation in this series did not meet our racing goals and objectives.

Regrettably the current AMA/DMG racing environment does not align with our
company goals. Effective today 9/18/09, AHM will not be renewing contracts
with Corona Extra Racing and will be terminating the on-site Road Race
operations by 9/30/09.  All assets will be put into storage for future
consideration. Team staff was informed of these changes today at 1:00PM
PDT.

Honda Brings Flappy Paddle Gearboxes To Motorcycles

DateSaturday, September 12, 2009 at 10:50AM

Not sure how I feel about this.  There IS something about being able to operate a clutch, match revs on a down shift and be smooth that is appealing.  On the other hand, I can see how on touring and commuter bikes this could be attractive.  Not sure how well it will work for sport bike and racing applications, but I'm sure we will find out very shortly.
