YZF-R15 One Make Race Championship – Season 2010 inches closer to culmination


Chennai, December 2nd, 2010: After successfully zooming through four rounds of R15 One Make Race Championship, India Yamaha Motor Pvt. Ltd. is set to organize the fifth & final round of the championship. The final round of 5 leg championship, organized as part of SIDVIN-FMSCI National Motorcycle Racing Championship 2010, will be held on 4th and 5th December at Madras Motor Race Track in Sriperumbudur. This year, Yamaha R15 One Make Race Championship was open to participation from both Yamaha and Non-Yamaha customers.
Riding on Yamaha’s Super Sports YZF-R15, the contestants experienced the breathtaking acceleration of the bikes on a race circuit. Loaded with true Yamaha DNA – Performance, Innovation & Design, YZF-R15 provided complete racing experience to the biking enthusiasts and hands on feel of its riding, cornering and braking abilities. Yamaha made their experience more exciting by mounting Daytona Racing kits in the bikes. The racing kit includes Racing Exhaust system, Racing ECU (Engine Control Unit), High Lift Cam Shaft and Petal shaped large Disc. These kits are developed using valuable experience gained from MotoGP racing and are designed exclusively for racing purposes in a closed circuit.
Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Yutaka Terada, Director – Sales & Marketing, India Yamaha Motor Pvt. Ltd. said, “All the four rounds of Yamaha R15 One Make Race Championship have been very exciting. We are very happy with the level of participation and responses from our customers. Our mission is to revolutionize the biking culture in India by giving Indian youth an exposure of international level racing competition and we commit to continue to organize more such racing events in the future.”
Two riders (One from each Class: NOVICE & EXPERT) will be given a chance to participate in the “YAMAHA ASEAN CUP RACE” to be held in Malaysia later this month. The riders can further get a chance to compete in “ASIA ROAD RACE CHAMPIONSHIP RACE 600cc Class” based on their performance in Yamaha ASEAN Cup Race-2010. Rider selected based on his results in the ASIA ROAD RACE CHAMPIONSHIP RACE 600cc Class can make his Life Time Dream come true as he could get a chance to participate in the Grand Prix.
The technology in YZF-R15 has percolated from YZF-R1 (Deltabox frame/ Fuel Injection/ 6 speed gearbox/ styling/ Liquid Cooled 4V engine). Just like R1, it is light weight, has power on demand, besides having centralized mass, stopping power, aerodynamics, ergonomics and stability/rigidity. It also has the controllability and maneuverability to maximize riding/ cornering/ braking performance.
Yamaha’s corporate culture has always given special importance to Motorsports as a way of expressing the ‘Spirit of challenge’ the company values so highly. R15 One Make Race is one of the biggest initiatives by Yamaha to take racing culture to new heights in India and has proved to be very successful in its objective. Carrying forward the racing legacy, Yamaha aims to take the racing culture and spirit in India to the next level.

motorsports |motorcycle modification |new motor bikes |2011 Ducati Diavel Review (Almost)

Factory MotoGP rider Nicky Hayden Hayden rode the Diavel onto the LA Auto Show’s stage two days ago, culminating with a tire-smoking burnout. Ducati was there to share the spotlight with the AMG division of Mercedes-Benz, together announcing a new partnership that sees the high-performance AMG sub-brand sponsoring Ducati’s MotoGP team.
Nicky Hayden Ducati Diavel Mercedes Benz CLS 63 AMGDucati’s MotoGP rider Nicky Hayden smokes the Diavel’s tire next to an AMG CLS 63. AMG announced sponsorship of Ducati’s GP team at the LA Auto Show.
After Hayden’s smoky entrance, the hundreds of international automotive media promptly ignored the new 550-hp CLS 63 AMG and flocked over to the chunky Diavel.
The deal includes sponsorship of Ducati’s GP team for two years plus an option to extend it, and the marketing effort will also encompass test rides/drives at each other’s events. And company reps hinted about the possibility of one day cooperating on future products.
“I’m pretty sure our AMG Performance Studio will be able to capture the spirit of Ducati in a very special AMG someday,” teased Ola Källenius, CEO of Mercedes-AMG GmbH, “but that’s something for another show.”
“Our engineers and our designers will have a lot of input from them, and vice versa their designers,” Gabriele del Torchio, president and CEO of Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A, told Motorcycle.com.
Nicky Hayden Ducati Diavel Mercedes Benz AMGA throng of auto journalists gather around the new Ducati Diavel. Ducati CEO Gabriele del Torchio stands next to his GP rider Nicky Hayden, while AMG and Mercedes brass enjoy the shared spotlight.
Coincidentally, the companies share a history of using desmodromic valve actuation. Mercedes employed  the mechanical-closing valvetrain design in its fearsome W196 Grand Prix racer from 1954, while Ducati’s legendary engineer Fabio Taglioni first used the system in the 1956 125 Desmo GP bike, and the Bologna-based company continues to use desmo valves in its current range of V-Twin engines.
The 1199cc V-Twin from the odd but successful Multistrada finds a new home in the Diavel, seen for the first time in North America at this week’s auto show. We were able to try it on for size shortly after Hayden warmed it up.
 “I’ve got a Ducati 848 at home, but I might need to add one of these because it’s something different,” said the Kentucky Kid.
Nicky Hayden Ducati Diavel MotoGP Nicky Hayden, the 2006 MotoGP world champion, leans on the Diavel shortly after making a grand entrance at the LA Auto Show. He may be smiling because he likes the bike, or it might be because he was just told he’ll be getting an AMG Mercedes as part of a new sponsorship agreement.
The Diavel is indeed different, and it’s often been derided by traditional Ducatisti who revere the brand’s performance heritage. However, the Diavel (“devil” in Bolognese) is directed at a new clientele.
“I truly believe that we’re going to open a new market segment, as we did many years ago when we introduced the Monster,” del Torchio commented. “It was a new category in the market, and we think the Diavel will do the same.”
Ducati reps are cautious about describing their new creation as a cruiser, even if its long and low stance points it in that direction relative to something like an 1198.
“It’s very comfortable, very powerful and easy to ride,” related del Torchio, who has ridden the Diavel in prototype form.

Getting a chance to see the Diavel in the flesh, it looks smaller than the impression it gives in photos. It takes but a short swing of a leg to get onto the 29.5-inch seat, made possible by a low-mounted horizontal rear shock. The saddle’s bucket-like perch feels comfy but doesn’t allow much fore/aft room, and it’s nicely highlighted by red stitching.

Ducati Diavel Mercedes Benz AMG Ernst LiebErnst Lieb, CEO of M-B USA, aboard the Diavel. Note the rider ergonomics that are comfortable yet sporty.
Don’t expect anything like ape-hanger handlebars on this pseudo cruiser, as they are set quite far forward relative to a traditional cruiser. Similarly, its footpegs are located forward compared to other Ducs, but they are placed comfortably just ahead of the seating area. A rider’s view is dominated by the large expanse of the 5.3-gallon fuel tank and side-mount radiators. Clutch pull feels quite light.
Pulling the Diavel off its sidestand requires little effort, as the “Carbon” version we sat on (with forged-aluminum wheels and carbon-fiber accents) is said to weigh just 456 pounds – less than any 750cc-plus cruiser we can think of. And this is a 1200cc “cruiser” with a 162 galloping horses, enough, said del Torchio, to reach nearly 150 mph.
Further putting the cruiser label to rest is the Diavel’s cornering clearance. Del Torchio says it has up to 41 degrees of lean angle. To put that in perspective, consider that Harley’s raciest bike, the XR1200X, can achieve a 39- or 40-degree lean before touching hard parts.
Pirelli played a key part in the Diavel’s development, creating a wide (240mm) rear tire with a more rounded profile than fat cruiser rubber. Pirelli reps claim that it offers neutral turn-in response unlike anything this wide that was previously offered. If that broad bun fails to get your attention, the imposing stacked mufflers (that look big enough to fire mortar rounds) will.

2011 Ducati DiavelThe Diavel’s rear view is perhaps its most striking. The massive exhaust pipes and tire make for an imposing impression.
That steamroller tire is proudly on display thanks to a single-sided swingarm and a truncated tailsection that incorporates a faired-in taillight and clear-lens LED turnsignal strips. A stylish steel-trellis license plate bracket extends from the swingarm, further cleaning up the rear view.
Further adding to the Diavel's high-end appeal are the presence of aluminum body panels rather than cheap plastic. The fuel tank covers and the tailsection are fabricated from the lightweight metal.
Pillion accommodations are cleverly unobtrusive – footpegs fold down from the tailsection on thin brackets, while a grab handle slides out from its stowed area above the taillight.
So, although we don’t really yet know how the Diavel will ride, we have some positive first impressions. It has a captivating presence in person, and despite its cruiser leanings, it looks every inch like a Ducati with its red trellis frame and sport-spec suspension and brakes. There is literally nothing quite like it.
And consider the Porsche Cayenne SUV, which was roundly scoffed at by sports-car purists. It went on to become the brand’s best seller, providing an outlet for those who desired a 911 but couldn’t reconcile buying one because of family or comfort concerns. 
2011 Ducati DiavelThe Diavel’s front end shows its sportbike heritage, with Brembo radial-mount brakes, DLC anti-stiction fork tubes and gargantuan exhaust headers. The high-end Carbon version seen here features forged-aluminum wheels with machined accents.

We can imagine a segment of two-wheel performance enthusiasts who have long admired Ducati’s racing legacy and Italian style but have been intimidated by the company’s hardcore sportbike lineup. The Diavel might be seen as an easier introduction to Ducati membership.  
The standard Diavel will retail for $16,995 when it arrives in dealers early next year. The upmarket Diavel Carbon rings in at a spendy $19,995 for the black version; it’ll cost another $400 to get it in red. The Diavel’s performance bona fides will be put to the test early in February of 2011 during its press introduction. Stay tuned for the real review!

Nicky Hayden Ducati DiavelAlthough you won’t see Nicky Hayden piloting the Diavel around Grand Prix circuits, Ducati promises its niche-exploding bike will outrun anything in the cruiser class.
