Road test: 2008 Triumph Speed Triple 1050 – Sharper Speed Triple
How do you improve something that’s already as good as the Speed Triple? Well, there were a few issues with the Nissin radial brakes; the seat wasn’t comfy enough for pillions so Triumph justified a re-launch for its superstar.

2008 Moto Guzzi V7 Classic – V7 in the Italian Alps
Moto Guzzi has pulled another classic model name out of its hat. The V7 Classic is a 70’s inspired roadster that means the same to Moto Guzzi as the Bonnie does to Triumph. I had a very pleasant acquaintance with the small 750 in the Italian Alps. |

Track test: 2008 Bimota DB7 1098 launch – Brute force À la carte
Pick the best from the best, machine it and bolt it together by hand and voila you have a Bimota. The DB7 oozes of exclusivity from the design to the choice of the 160hp Ducati Testastretta 1098 engine. I got the chance to ride Bimota’s first superbike since the SB8R on Misano. |

First look: ALPINESTARS BIONIC NECK SUPPORT
The Alpinestars Bionic Neck Support (BNS) is a structure which is designed to work with a helmet to reduce the risk and severity of a catastrophic neck injury (ie. A paralyzing injury). While no product can guarantee protection from all motorcycle injuries, due to the varied dynamics of accidents, the BNS is designed to substantially reduce the likelihood of a career ending neck injury although it must be stated at the outset that it, as with other such systems, may not prevent injuries occurring in all cases.

Test CR&S Vun: what else?
On May 19 2008, CR&S organized the first CR&S Track Day at the Ecuyers track (Beuvarde, France). After 6 hours in a ferry boat and another 8 hours on French motorways and their innumerable speed radars, I finally reached the almost brand new Ecuyers track. Cloudy and cold weather, but no rain. I'm not exactly in a fresh condition, but seeing the many Vuns (differents technical configurations and paints schemes) makes me happy. |
