Rolfo back in WSBK with Kawasaki Pedercini

Tuesday, 23 November 2010 17:27

Roberto Rolfo has returned to the Superbike World Championship for the Kawasaki Pedercini team, with whom he will ride the new ZX-10R machine in 2011. The 30 year-old Italian moves to the Pedercini team after one season in the Moto2 GP class where he took one win at Sepang in Malaysia and a third place at Sachsenring in Germany.

Rolfo already has three years' experience in World Superbike. In 2006, he raced with team Ducati SC Caracchi, while in 2007 he joined the Hannspree Honda Ten Kate team and the year after the Hannspree Honda Althea team. In 2009 he started the season with Stiggy Honda team but after only a few races he was replaced by John Hopkins due to the team's economic problems.

Roberto Rolfo :"I'm really very happy to return to the Superbike championship. My three years' experience in this fascinating and competitive championship was unforgettable and I will try my best to improve my preceding results. I immediately established a good feeling with the entire Pedercini family. They are reputable professionals and we are on the same wavelength concerning next year's targets. I decided to leave Moto2 because I'm eager to ride the new Kawasaki ZX10R and take advantage of all its great power. It feels grand to be back in Superbike and I'm determined to put a good season together next year. I'm looking forward to testing the new bike very soon and getting familiar with it while also getting to better know my new team. This will be my very first time on a Kawasaki bike".

2011 calendar confirmation promises a season of highlights

Wednesday, 24 November 2010 12:44

The FIM has handed down the updated 2011 WSBK calendar and as was the case in 2010 it features 13 rounds, which will take place at some of the world's most evocative and iconic racetracks.

The season opener takes place at the incomparable seaside circuit of Phillip Island, one of the fastest and most open circuits in the entire world of racing (photo). It, like many others, is an old friend of WSBK racing and it will of course feature as an official pre-season test venue, shortly before race weekend, on Monday 21 and Tuesday 22. Raceday itself will be Sunday, 27 February 2011 - make a note of it now. At Phillip Island World Supersport will also make its only non-European appearance of the year.

Early springtime at Donington Park will echo the very beginnings of WSBK in 1988, with this brilliant motorcycle racing venue all ready to welcome back WSBK racing after a year's absence. March 27 will be raceday, for the first of two races to be held in the UK next year.

April 17 is the day for yet another classic WSBK venue, Assen, while the first of three Italian-based WSBK rounds come along at super-fast Monza, on May 8. The normal European theatre of operations is left behind for a short period after Monza, and the Superbike class alone heads to America and the Miller Motorsports Park this year, for a race on Monday May 30 - on the Memorial Day holiday. Note that there will be no Supersport World Championship round at Miller in 2011, but the programme will see the reintegration of a round of the AMA Superbike Championship.

Two race weekends in a row will be enjoyed in June, the first being the San Marino Round at Misano on June 12 and then a new adventure beckons for the full WSBK travelling circus, the debut of the Motorland Aragon Circuit in Spain on June 19.

The wide corners and chicanes of Brno form round eight on July 10; the even faster layout of Silverstone has its latest taste of WSBK action on July 31. Double the thrills for British fans, and they will have several top riders to cheer on again, as they did in 2010.

August is a race-free month for all WSBK classes, with action reconvening at the historic Nürburgring circuit on September 4. An intense end to the season sees three European rounds, Imola, Magny Cours and Portimao, all coming along within a four-weekend period.

Imola has been reconfirmed on September 25, Magny-Cours in France is the penultimate round of the year on October 2, while instant classic Portimao is again the venue for the final round of the season, on October 16. Portimao will, in fact, bracket the WSBK season neatly, as it hosts the first official test of the year, between 26 and 28 January.

Ten rounds remain in the Superstock classes, as there will be no races for those classes in Donington, and their season gets underway at Assen, on April 17.

Tailored with a four-mode ABS system and a Dynamic Traction Control system, the new S1000RR is light at only 189kg and fast thanks to an inline-four engine that outputs a good 182 bhp. What a beast!

Yamaha Building A Moto2 Contender?

While we have lamented about how Oberdan Bezzi is a motorcycle artist and not a motorcycle journalist, despite the fact he is often cited as if he were one, the Italian artist has posted information on his blog (alongside a render of course) that Yamaha is rumored to be building a Moto2 bike which will be ready to compete when the series replaces the 250 class, either in 2010 or 201.

Named the YZR 600 M2, the bikes would be sold in Yamaha’s traditional red and white production livery, much as the old TZ bikes were back in the 1980s. This breaks from the current model where bikes are leased to teams in the MotoGP series.

While this news seems far-fetched, should Yamaha be genuinely interested in producing equipment for the Moto2 class, it would mark a turning point for the series, which so far has only garnered attention from chassis specialists such as Moriwaki, Suter and BQR. These current entries almost exclusively involve building prototype chassis around production engines, typically a Honda CBR600RR powerplant. Interestingly enough however, Honda has not expressed any interest in the new class, and there have even been some statements which would seem to imply that the Japanese giant will not build a bike for the new class.

Test Ride – Aprilia RS250…!!!

Talk MotoGP Aprilia RS250 ... remembering that until now was still victorious in the MotoGP Aprilia 250cc class .. And by coincidence (it has a soul mate), Aprilia replica version has become the first motor ... i (kok first motor racing circuit ... .. why not a small motorcycle). :)

Aprilia RS250 uses two stroke engine, 249cc, 90 degree V-Twin, liquid cooled. Powernya can reach 78HP. Talk about this RS250 drink, kudu minimum Pertamax Plus or Shell Super Extra (which got RON 95). That makes him groggy brake fluid is a kudu Dot 5.1 (brake fluid is very rare there, except in Toda Racing). In addition to brake fluid, there's more that makes groggy namely the kudu had Gearbox Oil 75w-90 viscosity. :)

To turn a simple RS250 engine, key in the on position, hold the switch engine is turned on, and kick starter genjot .. direct flame. RS250 only have a kick starter and electric starter is not got. Therefore, the battery was cheap .. 4A disposable. Differences with a Cagiva Mito for example the need for using electric starter 9A. Although using a kick starter, kick starter RS250 very lightly, so entenya using a single hand can. Even more severe kick starter FU150 (maybe if his appeal in a lightweight 30% of his kick starter Fu150 ... imagine a light?).

After the engine flame, temperatures will begin to move from cold to 37 degrees centigrade berbah onwards. I usually wait until 50 degrees celcius new bike ready to use. RS250 has a sixth gear acceleration (deh with the exact same Fu150 ngebayanginnya ... .. let's easy). If the side stand down (indicator lit), then if the first tooth is inserted, automatic machine will die. This is related to safety reason (if not ya lah ... very dangerous).

After the side stand is raised (inactive), and the teeth first entered the throttle ready dibejek. But, be careful if membetot throttle .. I never take it Fu150 Abiz, direct RS250 throttle play betot Gaza .. consequently the motor willie .. (Tuh lift front wheels). Have a steady acceleration, gear one could reach 40 km / h, while second gear can reach 100 km / h. RS250 .. How about stability? Do not ask bro .. 100 km / h is very stable .. as we take a duck second gear speed 30 km / h. 3 teeth and so forth how? Teeth three ever make, but never mbejelk polls .. because the road near the Semanggi Sudirman already Abiz ..

Talk about handling .. well as other sportz bike .. Kudu nikung fall if you want high speed, or kudu search if you want to turn the bow ... If the road tonight, must get used to the lights that adherents to the fairing .. so when the lights turn ... not highlight to the road ..

My only complaint is that when riding RS250 in a state of stress going bad ... .. lho kok could .. ? Yes, because it must at all times Seeing temperature. Based on the experience of each stopped 25-30 seconds, the temperatures will rise 1 degree Celsius. Normal temperature ranges when the road 70-80 degrees centigrade. When it reaches 100 degrees Celsius, getting ready for Geber nyari nih empty road bike but with lower RPM .. can with the gear 3 RPM 5000's. In addition .. if traffic jams .. gonna get ready for tired hands and feet also jagain tuh kudu motor ... (well who ordered the motor ... street circuit on the public road Lage .. too bad ....)
