2008 Literbike Shootout: ZX-10R vs CBR1000RR vs GSX-R1000 vs YZF-R1
May 08, 2008 - 10:48 AM - by admin

Kids. For every hard-working junior scholar in the world, there's probably four or five little hooligans who prefer to walk on the wild side. You know, the kids who race their Big Wheels down steep hills, poke bee hives, throw rocks at dogs or joy-ride their mom's car at 15.

The OEMs are grateful for these kinds of kids, as they are the prime demographic for the quartet of outrageously fast and capable machines assembled here.

Does anyone need a bike with an insane power-to-weight ratio that exceeds million-dollar cars? No! But is there a large group of adult-aged kids with a ravenous appetite for adrenaline? Hell, yeah!

And so we have a group of bikes in which the weakest of the bunch pumps out 154 horsepower at the rear wheel, all neatly packaged inside wheelbases tighter than 55.7 inches. They... [Read More]

Yamaha - Daytona Beach 2008 ! !! !
Mar 04, 2008 - 8:56 AM - by SpidermanSS
March 3, 2008 - With 18 Daytona 200 wins to its credit--including an unprecedented, unbeaten string of 13 Daytona 200 victories in a row--the words "Daytona Special" do not just apply to the white-and-red 1979 RD400F that many of you remember fondly, and some of you were lucky enough to own, or still own.

Daytona IS Special to Yamaha. It's the track where Kenny Roberts won the 200 three times--including twice in a row--on his legendary bumblebee-liveried two-strokes. Where Eddie Lawson won the Daytona 200 twice on five-valve Yamaha's--once in 1986 aboard an FZ750S and once again seven years later, fittingly on his Number 7 FZR750RR OW01. Daytona is also where Scott Russell, Mr. Daytona himself, cemented his legendary status with two Daytona 200 wins in a row--in 1997 and 1998--on a YZF750R.

Yes, the High Banks of Daytona have been good to Yamaha. And, this week and weekend, Brand Y is hoping that the Daytona... [Read More]
