CYCLE TORQUE is now available on your iPhone in addition to the iPad, and if youre reading this on your iPhone, welcome!

The iPhone and iPad have been two of the most successful new products ever made, and part of the reason for their success has been the high quality screens which help to make Cycle Torque look so good and be very easy to read - and if that isnt enough, pinch and zoom is enabled now, so you can get in close to the words and pictures.

Pinch and zoom is part of the update which has brought Cycle Torque to the iPhone, so regular iPad users will find the navigation of the app a little different - even easier to use.

This issue features lots of bikes, products and features, many with 360-degree views, slideshows and embedded video.

Your ratings and reviews have made Cycle Torque the most popular motorcycle magazine available on the App Store, but when we do an update those reviews and ratings are archived, so please have a look through this version, rate the App and write a review.

Special note: You might want to turn off Cellular Data for Cycle Torque - the downloads can be quite large and we dont want you using up all your data allowance and possibly running into surcharges simply for downloading Cycle Torque - turning off cellular data will force the device to download the issues over WiFi only.

Back issues: The back issues will work on the iPhone, but they were designed for the iPad, so you may need to use pinch and zoom to read it all. Future issues are being designed for the different devices.

Harley Streets aheadTHE Yanks are no strangers to giving their Harley-Davidsons a flogging on race tracks, hillclimbs, board tracks, beaches and even ice.

After all, the company has had an official H-D Factory Racing team in existence for 100 of its 111-year heritage.

After scorching the ice at ESPNs X Games Aspen, the new Harley-Davidson Street 750 has kicked up the dirt and the action with an adrenaline-fuelled Flat Track exhibition race at the X Games in Austin.

Just weeks before the new bikes begin to arrive at US dealerships, the exhibition race featured reigning AMA Pro Flat Track Grand National champion Brad the Bullet Baker on the Street 750 the first all-new motorcycle platform from Harley-Davidson in 13 years.

The action-packed environment at X Games Austin fits perfectly with the attitude and identity of the new Street motorcycle, said Dino Bernacchi, Director US Marketing, Harley-Davidson Motor Company.

The latest additions to the Dark Custom line-up, the Harley-Davidson Street 750 and Street 500 - the latter of which will be available in Australia and New Zealand - feature the all-new liquid-cooled Revolution X engine, housed in a narrow and lean chassis built for agility.

New suspension and a broad handlebar sweep also feature along with a minimalist style that serves as a blank canvas for riders to customise their own sense of personal freedom.

In addition to the motorcycles, Harley-Davidson will offer more than 100 Genuine Motor Parts and Accessories to help customers to make the Street their own.

The Harley-Davidson Street 500 is expected to reach Authorised Harley-Davidson Dealers in Australia and New Zealand from early 2015. n

SINCE the launch of Aprilia Racings 2014 World Superbike Team at Phillip Island in February there have been many requests for a Race Replica of the teams stunning and unique Chrome livery. As there are no plans by the Aprilia factory for a Race Replica RSV4 in 2014, John Sample Automotive has developed a different approach which may be even more broadly appealing than the Race Replica livery itself.

The RSV4 Chrome/Alloy Series allows customers to choose how they want their personal RSV4 to be decorated. The customer can choose between two different styles Chrome or Alloy and order their bike through their Aprilia dealer.

The chosen design will then be especially assembled and delivered to the dealer. Lead times will apply so speak to your Aprilia dealer to confirm the delivery timing.

The concept developed by our design team was to work with the current styles of the RSV4 range and use highlights to create something unique which reflects the Aprilia Racing Chrome race bike styling, said John Sample Automotive General Manager Kris Matich.

The initial idea was to come up with one concept but we couldnt choose between the two final materials so we thought why not let the customers choose which one they like best?

Each Aprilia dealer has an RSV4 Chrome/Alloy colour pallet which shows a sample piece of both Chrome and Alloy options available. The Special Edition Chrome and Alloy RSV4s will only be made to order with delivery expected to take 2-3 weeks.

The Chrome and Alloy series is available on both models RSV4 Factory and RSV4 R. The cost for either option will be just $500 incl GST on top of the normal cost of your chosen model.

The range iof options offered will be RSV4 Factory Alloy, RSV4 Factory Chrome, RSV4 R (red or black) Alloy and RSV4 R (red or black) Chrome. n

Sherco Factory models arriveSHERCOS 2T and 4T Factory Spec race bikes are available for the first time ever in Australia.

Sherco Australia Director, Michael Poynton says the 250cc and 300cc two-stroke and a 300cc four-stroke models are likely to sell out quickly.

Because the bikes are produced in such limited quantities, this is the only factory spec shipment destined for our shores this year, he said.

Customers looking for a high end race bike that looks and performs differently than anything else on the market will be impressed with the range of Sherco machines now available in Australia, he said.

The 250 and 300 2T feature FMF Gnarly Exhaust and muffler, two-stage ignition map setting, WP suspension, Brembo brakes, factory decal kit, factory race seat with waterproof document pocket, clear tank, AXP bash plate, solid rear disc and electronic power valve.

The factory spec 3004T features mostly the same line-up of goodies except it has an Akrapovic exhaust and muffler. n


A GROUP of adventurous motorcyclists are undertaking a trans-Australia charity ride for SIDS and KIDS.

The not-for-profit charity provides free professional support to bereaved families and anyone affected by the sudden and unexplained death of a baby or child. It only gets three per cent of its funding from the government.

The riders will depart from Byron Bay (the most easterly point in Australia) on Saturday, August 9 and head for Steep Point, WA, the most westerly point in Australia.

This is the rides fourth year, having raised more than $90,000 over the past three years. The riders raised $35,000 last year. 100 per cent of all money raised goes directly to SIDS and KIDS and donations over $2 are tax deductible.

So far there are 12 registered riders as well as support vehicle and medic with all riders funding their own way across the country. n

YAMAHAS MT-09 naked roadster has made an impact in Australia since its release last year. The looks are distinctive, and while not to everyones taste aesthetically, the 850cc inline three cylinder engine is a sweet unit, and the overall feel of the bike is pure fun, whether youre out for a day ride or just commuting.

Yamaha has now released the bike in Europe in Street Tracker form, with a unique matt finish on the frame and bodywork, alloy front and side number boards, two tone seat and wider footpegs.

The understated look continues to the wheels, theres knee pads to brace yourself, a short carbon front guard and billet handlebar risers.

We think it makes the ugly duckling MT-09 look awesome, and if you fit the accessory Akrapovic high mount muffler it will look the ducks guts.

Unfortunately Yamaha Australia isnt bringing the Street Tracker in as a stand alone model but you can buy as many of the factory accessories as you like to make your own version.

At $11,999 the MT-09 is great value, so its not hard to justify spending a bit more to make your Street Tracker. n

Honda ups ante for 2015 MX racers

HONDA, known for innovation for many years, has revised its CRF250R and CRF450R motocross racers for 2015.

Hondas latest CRF250R is more reflective of the technical specifications and philosophy of its larger-capacity sibling, the CRF450R, with both chassis and engine upgrades.

Although the sixth-generation aluminium twin-beam frame is unchanged, a new lower cradle houses the engine and ancillaries, including the lightweight radiators and electronics, to ensure both centralised weight distribution and lower weight. As a result, the Honda CRF250Rs weight is down to a very competitive 105.2kg.

Up front are new generation 48mm Showa air forks, which are much lighter than the steel sprung forks they replace.

So too does the revised PGM-FI engine management system which, combined with bigger bore twin rear mufflers, improves throttle response across the board, but especially in the low to mid range.

Both the 2015-spec Honda CRF250R and CRF450R share a wide range of new features.

In recognising that its motocrossers are raced by both professional and amateur alike, Honda has introduced a three-way Engine Mode Select Button (EMSB).

This allows riders to personalise the engines power delivery to suit the conditions, from super-smooth to ultra-aggressive, just by pressing a single handlebar-mounted button.

Both new 2015 models also come with a larger front wave brake disc, up from 240mm to 260mm, improved rider ergonomics, lightweight aluminium wheel rims, top-specification Dunlop MX52 tyres and, to distinguish them, revised graphics packages.

Hondas CRF450R 449cc engine has improved power delivery and feel, enhancing low-rpm operation, plus increased peak output thanks to a redesigned HRC-spec cylinder head.

Among them theres new exhausts, mufflers and PGM-FI Dual Fuel settings, new radiators for improved cooling, and upgrades to the piston, crankcase and transmission.

The CRF450Rs sixth-generation aluminium chassis features the latest-generation of KYBs 48mm front forks, which have now added high and low speed rebound damping adjustment. n

Polaris Takes 5IN A spectacular performance at the 2014 Tatts Finke Desert Race, Polaris secured the Top five places in the side x side class to stamp its dominance all over Australias most challenging and iconic off-road racing event.

The Finke Desert Race is an off road, multi terrain two-day race for bikes, cars, buggies and quads through desert country from Alice Springs to the small Aputula (Finke) community. The race is held each year on the Queens Birthday long weekend in June. Finke is one of the biggest annual sporting events in the Northern Territory and has the reputation of being one of the most difficult off-road courses in one of the most remote places in the world.

Starting the event with 12 Polaris RZRs out of the total side x side field of 16, it was a fierce battle for podium positions between the Polaris racers as the final result came down to the wire.

In the end, it was Phil Swindale and his co-pilot Matt Costello from Eagle Powersports who upstaged their more fancied rivals to take home desert glory in their Polaris RZR XP 1000.

Impressively, their time also allowed them to finish 30th overall in the car/buggy class in a gruelling event where almost 40 entrants failed to finish.

Gunning for a record-breaking third straight Finke Desert Race side x side title, Adrian Jackson and his co-pilot Chris Meloury steered their RZR XP 900 with aplomb but fell an agonising seven minutes short of glory. In other years, times of 03:00:02 and 03:00:33 would have been enough to secure victory, however this year it was not the case and Jackson/Meloury had to settle for second place on the back of 2012 and 2013 victories.

Closing out the podium places and finishing 34th overall was Aaron Phillis and Brett Morgan from Chapmans Off-Road in their RZR XP 1000 with an overall time of 06:12:10, 12 minutes behind Jackson/Meloury. They beat out fourth placed Barry Moule and Aaron Ward of Team Churchill in their RZR XP 900, and Jason Neate and Christopher Johnstone from Mongrel Dog in their four-seater RZR 900 XP4.

The highly-fancied Polaris Racing team of Cody Crocker and Greg Foletta recovered from 13th place after day one to finish the event 7th overall. After experiencing some difficulties on day one which cost them not only the lead but 50 minutes of time, Crocker and Foletta dug deep to finish day one in the unforgiving time of 03:50:50. However, day two was a new day and Crocker/Foletta came out and blitzed the field with a time of 02:48:42, winning the trip back to Alice Springs by almost four minutes and showing just what Polaris Racing team and the RZR XP 1000 is capable of.

We always knew we had the fastest vehicle on the track, however desert racing is a tough sport and we had some slight issues on day one which cost us valuable time, said Crocker, himself a four-time Asia Pacific Rally Champion with Subaru and three-time Australian Rally Championship side x side champion with Polaris. n

Classic TTEXCITEMENT is building for the second year of the Classic TT Races presented by Bennetts with just 60 days to go until the start of qualifying on Saturday 16th August.

Fans flocked to the Isle of Man for the inaugural event last year to witness some exciting racing around the TT Mountain Course as well as getting up close and personal with some of motorcycle racings biggest stars including Giacomo Agostini, Freddie Spencer, Phil Read, John McGuinness, Steve Baker and Kork Ballington.

The open paddock welcomed thousands of fans, who were able to get unique access to some of the most exotic classic racing motorcycles the world has ever seen. A packed off track entertainment schedule complemented the racing and parades with many of the leading motorcycle magazines calling the Classic TT the worlds number one classic motorcycle event in its first year.

The 2014 edition of the Classic TT looks set to build upon this success with another impressive array of star riders and motorcycle exotica in the line up. On the back of another four TT victories earlier this month, Michael Dunlop heads the Classic TT entry with rides in all three races. Joining him on the grid will be a host of his rivals from the TT including 21 times champion John McGuinness, 2014 race winners Gary Johnson and Dean Harrison, outright TT lap record holder Bruce Anstey and TT podium finishers in 2014 Guy Martin, William Dunlop, James Hillier and James Cowton.

Other current day TT stars set to do battle around the Mountain Circuit on classic racing machinery include the likes of last years 500cc Race winner Olie Linsdell, Ryan Farquhar, Dan Kneen, Keith Amor, Dan Cooper, Lee Johnson, Jamie Hamilton, Jamie Coward and Russ Mountford. They will be joined by a plethora of Classic racings fastest men including Roy Richardson, Alan Oversby and Bill and Chris Swallow, not to mention 10 times TT winner Ian Lougher, who is continuing his career exclusively on classic racing machinery. Fans will also be eagerly awaiting the return of 9 times TT winner Charlie Williams, who makes his racing return to the Mountain Circuit after a 30 year absence.

The 2014 Classic TT will have a 1980s theme running throughout as the event celebrates the incredible career of the late, great Joey Dunlop. A stunning exhibition of machines ridden by Joey throughout his career will be on display in the paddock while many of the Ulstermans greatest rivals will be attending the event to pay tribute in the Joey Dunlop Road Racing Legend The Rivals Parade Lap sponsored by the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company. Names already confirmed to participate include Carl Fogarty, Rob McElnea, Graeme Crosby, Mick Grant, Philip McCallen, Brian Reid, Ray McCullough, Mick Grant, Steve Cull and Paul Iddon.

The 1980s will permeate all areas of the event with an 80s theme for the Classic TT Paddock Carnival on Friday 22nd August with music, fashion and entertainment all harking back to that unforgettable era as well as the Classic TT Party on Saturday 23rd in the VIP Hospitality Marquee featuring live 80s music and 80s fancy dress. n

BMW TripleBMW Motorrad and Michael Dunlop have repeated history, echoing Georg Meiers TT victory of 1939 on the Isle of Man. Dunlops third BMW-powered victory of the week came in the most prestigious race of all: the blue riband Senior TT race. Before that, Dunlop had already won the Isle of Man TT Superbike and Superstock races on the BMW S 1000 RR.

BMW Motorrad UK entered into road racing in 2014 to celebrate Meiers famous victory of 75 years ago, in which he rode his factory Type 255 Kompressor and took BMW Motorrads first ever TT win. Joining forces with Hawk Racing, the team behind the Buildbase BMW Motorrad British Superbike entry, and supported by BMW Motorrad Motorsport, BMW Motorrad / Hawk Racing was formed.

BMW Motorrad Motorsport supplied the Superbike engine for Dunlops RR. Beginning with the North West 200 in May, Dunlop and the team took victories in both the Superstock and Superbike classes as part of their build up to the Isle of Man TT.

With the three 2014 TT wins, twenty five-year-old Dunlop has secured his own place in history by increasing his total TT wins to 11.

The Senior TT race is the only one Ive not won before at the Isle of Man and its very special to have won it this year. Ive given BMW Motorrad three wins here and weve repeated its victory in the Senior TT in 1939, said Dunlop. At the start of this fortnight people were saying I was mad to be here on an unproven bike. I think now nobody will doubt the BMW S 1000 RR. The whole package is fantastic and the team has been brilliant. For BMW Motorrad to have built a bike that can come here for the first time, to survive six race laps without missing a beat, and to win... that is amazing.

It is so overwhelming that I am nearly lost for words. What happened this week on the Isle of Man is simply unbelievable, enthused Berthold Hauser, BMW Motorrad Motorsport Technical Director. Michael had never ridden the RR before, but he came, jumped on it and raced from victory to victory. Believe me: I have been involved in motorcycle racing for decades but I can hardly recall something similar. Especially as we are talking about the most cruel and treacherous challenge in road racing, the Isle of Man TT. We are happy and proud that we could do our bit in achieving this success by providing technical support and all our expertise regarding the RR. A big Thank you to Michael for joining us in this adventure and winning all three races and to everybody who made this success happen. n

CYCLE TORQUE JULY 2014 - 23EDITORIAL

IVE only been back from the Isle of Man for a couple of days as I write this and to be honest Im still jet lagged. It was a sometimes boring, sometimes frantic few weeks at the TT, and also quite emotional at times. Ill let Alex tell his story in next next months issue, and you can also get a bit of an insight into my thoughts with Darryl Flacks Race Torque column.

Ive been asked by a few people what its like to see your son ride off down Bray Hill. Very bloody frightening, thats what its like. The best I can describe it, and its done with no disrespect to our Diggers, is that its like sending your son off to war. Each time you hope they will return from battle. And its like a battle. You can see the intensity in their eyes, the quiet way in which they steel themselves for the off. Back home it now feels like a lull in proceedings, hence the heading of this column.

It doesnt matter if its just practice or an actual race, each rider is under pressure to go quick right from the start. On the first night of practice the fast riders were up near 130mph. They know that weather can play a big part on the Isle of Man, and that it did during practice week, giving the clerk of the course little option but to reduce practice periods or cancel them.

Each time it added pressure to everyone.When we had the time we did laps of the circuit in the

car. I always thought it wasnt that much of a benefit but Ive come to realise thats not the case. While you might not be on the racing line or going as fast as you would on a closed road, the important thing is getting the sequence of corners right, so you know what is around each bend. There should be no surprises. As we drove around I would talk to Alex about what to do and where to be but I must say I felt very inadequate talking to him like that, as if I was

not in his league. Of course Im not in his league when it comes to pure riding ability, but I did find it rather odd that a father would be somewhat in awe of his own son.

It was the first time I sampled the mountain part of the course while it was one way and open to regular traffic. Last year at the Manx GP it is normal, or two way traffic. You might think TT racers are mad. Well, I can tell you theres plenty of TT wannabes who take more risks. On numerous occasions I saw some very dangerous riding from TT fans, trying to ride beyond their ability at very high speeds. While doing a lap in the car with some friends we came across an accident where a bike had clipped another bike, causing the rider to crash, and then the riders friend to also crash trying to avoid the incident. Both were very lucky to only get minor injuries. The rider who caused it all just disappeared into the distance. Local people told me its simply too dangerous to drive over the mountain during TT fortnight because theres too many nutters.

Two racers died at the TT this year, and I believe two members of the public too, plus numerous injured. More than once the mountain section of the course was closed due to an accident.

And experiencing the nightlife was something else too. Id never been to Bushys beer tent on the promenade before but it was fun. The beer is a bit crap and standing room only but it was still a good place to go for a laugh.

The whole event was a step up from the Manx, like Id been told it was. More people trying to see their favourite riders (most of whom keep themselves away from the

crowds until the very last second). The two events are run pretty much the same, and very professionally.

Apparently there were hundreds of Aussies there this year. We met some who saw the Australian flag in our pits and called in to say hello. It was great for us to see them, we really did appreciate the support.

Last year I was team organiser, pit crew, racer etc while this year I was just a spare wheel. I never had to lift a finger really. Im not sure whether I liked that better or not.

I dont know where Alex goes from here regarding the TT, or even if he really wants to go back. He does have time on his side. At 20 he was the youngest rider at this years TT. I think its too soon for even him to really make a decision with confidence, especially considering what transpired during the last few days of the event, all of which youll read about in the next couple of issues.

All quiet on the western front

CYCLE TORQUE JULY 2014 - 24DIRTY TORQUE

THE first half of the AMA Motocross Championships has been a dead set cracker with some of the most furious racing being seen between the established stars and the young guns. All of the riders in the top five of each class are absolutely on the edge and their speed is mind blowing so lets take a look at who is really hangin it out to get to the pointy end of the races so far.

I have been racing motocross for over 40 years and watched every bit of AMA National and World Motocross Championship footage ever shot or gone to air and I am absolutely gob-smacked at the speed and commitment of the current crop of riders contesting the AMA Motocross Championships.

Their ability to hold the throttle on as long as possible into each turn, breaking as late as they can, the extreme lean angles in the ruts and berms followed by getting on the gas as soon as possible to launch into the next set of obstacles is awe inspiring. Bravery, fitness, riding ability, bike set-up and traction is being stretched to the extreme limit from the drop of the gate right through to the finish line and as a fan, each race is riveting.

Even without the defending champion Ryan Villopoto and championship contenders Justin Brayton, Davi Millsaps and Justin Barcia (he was out with injury after two rounds), the 450 class has seen sensational racing with four race winners in Josh Grant, Ryan Dungey and James Stewart as well as rookie Ken Roczen who is showing the entire field what it takes to race hard, be aggressive, be consistent and lead the points without putting anyones nose out of joint and continue to be one of most well liked riders in the paddock. Not an easy thing to do at the top end of this sport.

The former World MX2 Motocross Champion has been in sensational form and at the time of writing is leading the 450cc championship ahead of the always consistent

Ryan Dungey and the new James Stewart who seems to have accepted that he has to finish races to win championships (about bloody time).

The thing is that Roczen and Dungey have been pushing so hard that they have been miles ahead of third place by the end of each moto with the exception being Josh Grants lone moto win at Glen Helen and James Stewarts three moto wins but I am here to tell you, Grant and Stewart absolutely rode their arses off to get across the finish line ahead of Roczen and Dungey.

Even the super aggressive Justin Barcia struggled to stay on pace during the early rounds but is now out of the series with injury while his Muscle Milk Honda team-mate Trey Canard has been in the thick of the action at the start of almost every moto and other than the second moto at Hi-Point where the injury plagued rider managed a solid second place, Canard has found himself wanting for pace towards the end of the motos.

To give you an idea of how fast the front runners are going, they are leaving riders like Brett Metcalfe, Chad Reed, Andrew Short, Weston Peick, Malcolm Stewart, Jake Weimer and Phil Nicoletti so far behind that they are usually getting ready to be interviewed by the track side TV presenters as the rest of the top 10 hit the finish line.

The 250 class has been completely turned on its head by the Yamaha pairing of Jeremy Martin and Cooper Webb. Martin won the opening five motos by an absolute mile while his team-mate Webb has been as far in front of third place in the four motos that they have gone one-two.

But, as of the third round at Thunder Valley we have seen Christophe Pourcel, Jesse Nelson, Justin Bogle, Jason Anderson and Blake Baggett all throw themselves

into the fray and landing firmly on the podium and in some cases clawing back valuable points on Martin and Webb who are sitting first and second in the points at the time of writing.

In fact, at round three, Blake Baggett was the first rider to take a race win from Martin when he scorched around the Thunder Valley circuit to win the second moto, then a week later the Pro-Circuit Kawasaki rider absolutely slaughtered the entire field with a pair of wins at Hi-Points moving Baggett into third place in the points.

But to take these wins Baggett has at times had to pull out some pretty extreme moves then maintain an incredible pace to get by and stay in front of the fast starting Pourcel and the ultra fast finishing Martin and Webb.

If you have watched any of the rounds you will agree that at times the top riders in each class are running the gauntlet between the speed needed to get to the front and their own personal safety and sheer talent is only a small part of the equation these days with riders like Jeremy Martin and Ken Roczen taking the entire motocross scene to a whole new level of speed and commitment.

The second half of the series is going to be sensational and it bodes well for the years to come with young riders coming through and pushing the speed to new levels just like Bob Hannah, David Bailey, Johnny OMara, Jeff Stanton, Jeremy McGrath, Jeff Emig, Ricky Carmichael and James Stewart have done in previous years.

CYCLE TORQUE JULY 2014 - 25RACE TORQUE

IN THE run-up to Alex Picketts IOMTT debut, I sent Picko Snr a unique reflection written by Eric Bostrom on his first visit to the TT in 2007 which set off an email exchange opening a window to the thoughts, dreams and dreads of a father of a TT debutante. Bostrom first watched the TT from a front yard on what he called Brave HillI dont see much, I just hear wind tearing off the fairing at 160mph. My heart is in my throat. With each bike I can view a little more detail. Riders absorbing the dips with their legs, rolling on and off of the throttle, wrestling with the direction change as they crest Bray and prepare to drag the bodywork through the dip before Agos Leap the Isle is cyclings most demanding venue, being as much a motocross and a trials as it is a road race, absorbing bumps and piecing together sections. It is a monster of many dimensions, with an exclamation mark on timing and concentration. Eventually, the people who like to make laws telling us what we can and cant do will have their way with this event. If you missed it, youll be sorry.

What followed was Pickos reply: Very true I thought. Cam Donald said a funny thing to me the

other day, telling me that he thought the TT was the safest road racing circuit of them all, safer than the Macau GP, Ulster GP, NW 200 and so on. Simon Andrews has just died this morning from his injuries at the NW200 less than a week ago. Alex and I are both very sombre as I write this email, he only just told me after reading it on the net at our hotel in London. It has rocked Alex quite a bit. Its very sad though. I feel pretty much the same as I did when I heard Joey [Dunlop] had died. I didnt know Joey or Simon but I was well aware of their exploits.

I replied:Your comments from Cam remind me of a few things Kel

Carruthers once told me. He believed that the old Assen and many other street circuits in the 1960s were as dangerous as the TT. He just loved the TT, and said his whole theory of racing in those days was to keep the bike within a 7-inch (17cm) tolerance of the perfect line for the entire race. Using that technique, Kel won his two 250 TTs by some minutes.

I read the news about Simon this morning too. Very sad. I remember asking Kel about all the guys lost in his era and he said something that shocked me a bit. In that slow, Aussie drawl, he said, Well, yeah, but none of the really good guys got

killed. I thought about it for quite a while, and I guess he was right (re: Joey, he was unlucky to be on 125 in the wet at Estonia he had no problems at the TT). I guess for Alex there is no real pressure, just to learn about these new bikes at his first TT. This will be like his first day at school.

DF(first email from DF to CP post TT, 12/6/2014)I thought Alex did very well given the conditions/red flags

and unfamiliar bikes. It felt like a multi-bike disrupted test/extended race meeting from here. Is that how it turned out?

DFYeah pretty much. Alex didnt change much on the big bikes

suspension-wise, but certainly made plenty of changes to the Supersport because he said it scared him as soon as he started down Bray Hill on his first lap. All-in-all ok though, bike dramas etc, made it difficult to get good results but he still did a 121mph lap so plenty of goals were achieved, even though he doesnt have shed loads of trophies to show for it.

CPWow 121mph is pretty good. I really enjoyed Alexs

blogs, handling some pretty bad news quite eloquently. The TV coverage was good too, I was expecting to see Alex in the Newcomers special but as he said, he didnt qualify since he rode in the Manx last year. All the Irish guys and Poms said they had done dozens and dozens of laps in carshardly newcomers!

Milky [Quayle] and the rider development dude kept saying Its like their first week at school Brooksey said something like, Your bikes speed and your own speed can only take you so far when youre learningyou have to let the track come to you in a way. Michael Dunlop echoed your advice about sticking to the centre white-line because if it turns left when you thought it would turn right, youre still in a good position.

I watched Michael Dunlops onboard from his Supersport TT win last year, and like Marquez, hes re-written the text book. Couldnt believe how hard he is on the gearbox. Fair dinkum, he was riding like he was racing to the pub at Douglas for the worlds last pint of Guinness. No points for clean lines, just raw speed. He knows the place so well, its like riding home from work.

DF

The secret to going fast really is knowing where you are going. All those guys can ride fast but you can only twist the throttle so hard if you are unsure.

Alex ended up beating most of the newcomers, including Danny Webb, with only Peter Hickman and Martin Jessop, top BSB runners, going faster. Hickman ended up doing 129 while Jessop did 123. The team Alex rode for is certain he was on a 125mph lap when he lost the front, which we suspect was due to a dodgy front tyre.

CPRoger that about track knowledge. I was watching out for

Hickman and Jessup because they featured in the Newcomers special. They did very well, but are obviously experienced Superbike pilots and are quite a bit olderAlexs Superbike debut was at the IOMTT, correct!?

DFYes, CP.

CYCLE TORQUE JULY 2014 - 26GUNTRIP

BELIEVE it or not we used to get blas about Mike Hailwood appearing every second weekend at our local racetracks; and when Hailwood had moved on to four wheels, we became just as bored with Ago turning up on a succession of MVs. Ive since learnt that failure to appreciate lifes riches is common among teenagers, however, and Id also point out in our defence that the real basis of our pain was that we were unable to see our megastars earning their corn in GPs. But getting to Assen or even the Isle of Man was a bit beyond most of us when all we had was our pocket money and a pushbike apiece.

Of course, it didnt take long to realise what wed lost when we passed into the haze of two-stroke oil that heralded the 1970s. The racing mightve been more competitive, but you get that when everybody is riding the same thing.

The point about international racing in the 1960s was its diversity, and I dips me lid to Chris Pereira for a timely reminder of exactly that in his new book, Motorcycle GP Racing in the 1960s, a new release from Veloce Publishing and available from this office from the end of this month, for $59.99.

Mr Pereira, no stranger to the racetrack himself, was no doubt leaning on the fence at Mallory Park or Brands Hatch at the same time as me, and he brings an authoritative voice to this journey through the decade, using as his starting point the withdrawal from grand prix racing of Gilera, Mondial and Moto Guzzi at the end of the 1957 season. And the star of these opening paragraphs is Australias own Bob Brown, whose first taste of factory backing came in the 50s when he deputised for the injured Geoff Duke at Gilera, before returning to his own Nortons for a while

and finally tragically, as it turned out joining the Honda team in 1960. In some ways Brownies story is a summary of the 60s, with the Italians giving way before a rising tide of Japanese money and hardware although MV Agusta fought a superbly skilled rearguard action right through to the end of the decade.

Pereira finds enough wriggle room in his 176 pages to devote a chapter to each year, and has more than enough action to maintain a brisk pace. In 1964, for example, while Mike Hailwood sets about winning his third 500cc title, Jim Redman has the task of seeing off the growing challenge from Yamaha, and has to concede the field in the 250cc class to Phil Reads RD56, despite the appearance of the RC164 250cc six from Honda for the last two meetings of the year. Then theres the tale of Alan Shepherd who, after, running second to Hailwood in the 1962 and 1963 500cc world titles on privately funded Matchless singles, spends the year conducting a fine campaign on Walter Kaadens cash-strapped 125 and 250cc MZs. Add a supporting cast that includes Tarquinio Provinis improbably fast 250 Benelli, Benedicto Caldarella on a 500 Gilera and Hugh Anderson leading Suzukis assault in the 50 and 125cc classes, and you have high drama indeed and thats in just one year.

There are plenty of tables and stats, detailing championship points scorers, the first six men home in each GP, and raw data on the leading machinery of the period and here Im grateful to the author for pointing out that the 305cc Honda twin Bruce Beale rode as second banana to Jim Redman in Hondas 1963 350cc title push had a double overhead cam top end, unlike the road bike.

Theres a bit here for any keen student of the period, not least in the photos, many of them quite rare and a lot from

the archives of veteran GP clicker Malcolm Carling. Its a shame there arent more colour photos there are just the two, both on the dust jacket the main shot of Hailwood on the RC174 297cc Honda six, and one on the back of someone at speed I suspect to be the author, and whom I further suspect to be riding a 250 Aermacchi.

All in all, this is a cracker, and easily worth the price as a well-written and highly entertaining record of a decades epic GP competition.

CYCLE TORQUE JULY 2014 - 28LaunchCYCLE TORQUEBMW R NINE T

Street TrackerGerman Style



LaunchCYCLE TORQUEBMW R NINE T

The R nine T is all about the look, and the experience.


I FIND it interesting how everything old becomes new again. Take rat rod style hot rods for example. When young guys were first building them after WWII there was no money but lots of enthusiasm, so paintwork and creature comforts were just not part of the scene for the most part. This changed over the years but now rat rods are popular once again as people try to recreate that look of the past.

Its the same with bikes. Caf Racers were the big thing in the 50s and 60s in the UK as road riders tried to emulate their road racing heroes and the bikes they rode. Lots of trends had their time in the sun, including the Street Fighter and Street Tracker. Today though, the Caf Racer is getting another go at popularity, and to a lesser extent so is the Street Tracker. What is hot at the moment though are young enthusiasts grabbing the most unlikeliest of machines and turning them into something either great or terrible depending on your point of view. It involves cutting and shutting, and/or fitting some parts, which are off some totally different machine. Its not about speed or handling. Its about street cred and style. It doesnt matter if the top speed is only 100km/h or the tyres inhibit cornering, as long as the bike and rider are able to strut around town looking the bomb.

Modern Retro?BMW decided to celebrate 90 years of motorcycle manufacturing by building its own street custom, the R nine T. I dont think of it as a retro, rather I think BMW is tapping into that custom scene so popular at the moment, and the intro video highlights exactly that. Guys and girls working on their own old boxer twins, then riding in the hills with torn jeans, faded leather jackets and metalflake open face helmets. It helps if you can grow a scruffy beard too. Of course theres a couple of the new twin-cam boxer-powered R nine Ts in there as well and they do not look out of place.

Part of the design ethos of the bike was to enable owners to have a play, and modify their own R nine T. You can easily turn the bike into a Caf Racer by fitting the brushed alloy single seat hump, or take the pillion seat and sub-frame off altogether. It does look the part, with the imposing black tank (this is the only colour scheme available), the gold upside down forks and big four piston brakes (ABS is fitted standard and you cant turn it off), and a few custom touches which suit the bike. I especially like the twin mufflers on the left side of the bike. They sound tops too.

BMW has even thought of aftermarket customisers by ensuring the electrical wiring can happily be adapted or modified to suit aftermarket parts.

It is a stripped down sort of machine, and theres no electronics or other trickery to accessories the bike with. What you see is what you get. And what this costs is $20,950 + ORC.

Running GearEven though some of the new flagship boxers have the new water-cooled flat twin, the R nine T has the older Twin Cam 1170cc air/oil-cooled boxer engine. Mind you, its still a great engine and perfectly suited for this bike. It has 88 kW

LaunchCYCLE TORQUEBMW R NINE T


(118hp) and some 119Nm of torque. Its a very flexible engine and a delight to use. Its not about revs either, with peak power delivered at 7,750rpm and torque at 6,000rpm. Its housed in a tubular steel frame especially built for the R nine T and the engine is a stressed member.

Using the fully adjustable forks off the S 1000 RR has given the R nine T a distinctly different look and feel than if fitted with a Telelever front end. At the rear though, BMW still uses the Paralever shaft drive and suspension combination, with easily adjustable spring preload and rebound damping.

17 inch wheels are used front and rear and interestingly they are not of tubeless design. Anodised in black they look trick, and suit the overall style of the R nine T. Tyre sizes are 120 front and 180 rear. Apparently theres enough room to relace the hub from a 5.5 inch to 6 inch rim for a fatter rear.

Now if the fruity standard twin muffler system isnt enough, there is an accessory Akrapovic system which can be mounted either high or low, depending on the look youre after. There are a number of other accessories available from BMW, and while the list isnt huge it will cater for the semi-tinkerers out there. Those interested in really ripping the R nine T apart to make their own statement will probably not order too many pieces off the accessory list.

Border RunOur test route for the R nine T was from just south of Tweed Heads, skirting Nimbin, through Kyogle and then along the Lions Road into Queensland. A fantastic route for this bike. The scenery is beautiful and the riding position and flexible nature of the engine on the R nine T had me smiling pretty much all the time.

It is quite comfortable for me at six foot, although I would like the handlebars to be slightly higher. Overall though, no complaints there. You will find the seat OK but come time to fill the tank most riders will enjoy the break. Fuel range is over 250km from the 17 litre alloy tank (imagine that in either some lairy metalflake colour or brushed alloy).

On most surfaces the bike handles very well, and the brakes are powerful too.

Every bike has its own idiosyncrasies and the R nine T is no different. I found at first when I shut the throttle off there was still a slight roll on, and the brakes, while powerful, had less initial bite than I would prefer. I think the throttle roll on was the real culprit here, not the brakes. That said, its something I quickly got used to, and like any first impressions, once you adapt yourself to the machine, what you initally thought was a problem ceases to be one. The bike feels pretty light too, and the lowish seat height makes it a breeze to swan around town on or park up.

Dont write it off as a boulevard poseur though, the R nine T is lots of fun to ride fast, whether it be in the tight stuff or on fast open roads. Big bumps mid corners will test the suspension so you best avoid them but this is only if you are riding pretty fast. I found no ground clearance issues, in fact I never once touched anything on the tar. Overall the whole roadholding package of the R nine T is impressive, and theres not much youll throw at it which will cause you or the bike any concern. The suspension is top quality, and combined with the torquey engine, the bike is a pleasure to ride.

You can rev the bejeezus out of the engine, or go down a couple of gears for a corner but I never found it necessary. On the long and winding Lions Road I was usually in either 5th or 6th gear, just using the ample torque of the engine. Its a delight to use.

VerdictBMW staff hinted this could be the first in a line of similar ethos machines from the manufacturer and personally Im very keen to see it.

Not everyone can capably wield spanners in the shed to build their own custom dream machine, and the R nine T allows you to just go out and buy one. Maybe you can accessorise it or pay someone to jazz it up some more.

This isnt just a bike for BMW lovers, its a bike for lovers of custom bikes. It looks like people are lining up for it too. There are more pre-sold orders for the R nine T than the new S 1000 R. n

& PANIGALE S CYCLE TORQUE JULY 2014 - 38



DUCATIS 1199 Panigale and its higher spec S sibling are very much riders machines. They are undoubtedly very fast, they are frantic to ride, they are not all that comfortable if you are commuting or touring at a snails pace. But they both give you a spine tingling riding experience not many other machines can offer. And there are some minor changes for the 2014 model, aimed at making it more user friendly.

There have been question marks over whether the Panigale is better than the 1098/1198 models it succeeded, and fair enough too. Those two previous generation bikes have had lots of admirers, and still do for that matter, because they are superb motorcycles. Carlos Checa was the first to race a Panigale in the WSBK Superbike championships, and was off the pace initially, unable to regain the form he had on the 1198. The Panigale is now starting to hit its straps on the world stage though, finally becoming one of the leaders of the pack in the current World Superbike Championship. Apparently much of the issue has been the power of the engine, but its as fast as anything Ive ever ridden on the road. In fact I cant imagine anyone using the engine to its full potential unless you were on the track, and even then...

Its hard to really compare them directly though. For a start, the Panigale makes the old shape look very dated, even though I think the 1098 shape was one of the prettiest bikes ever made. When Ducati designed the Panigale it really did so from a complete blank sheet. Everything is different to before: frame, engine, electronics, you name it. I suspect there is no part, which is interchangeable from the previous shape Ducati superbike.

Testing these two bikes back to back, one with manually adjustable suspension, the other with semi-active suspension, makes you realise that although the upspec S model is very good, its not light years ahead of the standard Panigale, which is also an amazing machine, especially if ridden in the right circumstances and with, shall we say, verve.

The MechanicalsBoth bikes share the same specification Desmodromic Superquadro L-Twin engine, with 195hp.

The engine is an integral part of the chassis, and the set up differs greatly from the 1098/1198. In fact the engine is the chassis, with a monocoque frame section bolted to the heads. This monocoque

chassis is also used as the airbox for the engine. Clever. At the front, the forks are bolted to the frame section. Classic bikes fans will immediately recognise the Vincent V-twin as a similar design, and modern race fans the Desmosedici.

Another design cue of the Panigale is the engine has been rotated backwards, so it could be moved forward 32mm, thus improving weight bias. The engine also has the barrels cast as one with the engine block, then using Nikasil coated wet liners for the massive pistons.

One of the things, which makes this engine very different in feel to the previous Testastretta Evoluzione, is the massively oversquare bore/stroke ratio. I suspect its also one of the reasons why some people used to the older engine have struggled to come to grips with the new one, racers included.

With a 112mm bore and 60.8mm stroke this motor likes to rev hard. With such a huge piston Ducati has been able to increase valve size substantially, with the inlet valves up from 43.5 to 46.8mm, and exhaust valves from 34.5 to 38.2mm. This obviously allows the engine to breath much freer than the earlier donk, but it makes its power in a totally different way now, almost demanding the rider to thrash the hell out of it. But remember, this engine isnt an update of the old one, its a totally different engine.

Fuelling the fire are massive 67.5mm oval throttle bodies with two injectors per pot. The first injector is fitted below the throttle for low load use, while the second injector is above the throttle body for when you are turning the twist grip all the way south.

The ride-by-wire system allows the Panigale to have lots of rider aids. There are three Riding Modes: Race, Sport and Wet. Each riding mode can also be tailored to suit your needs. For example, you can change the default traction control and ABS level of each riding mode.

There are eight Ducati Traction Control (DTC) levels, with Level One the least intrusive. This is an integral part of modern high end bikes, and with the performance the Panigale puts out Im sure most riders would appreciate it being there. In reality most riders would barely even notice Level One, if at

all, but Level Eight really does kick in very early, making it a bit of a pain if you like riding on the quick side. Great in the wet but thats the only time youd want it.

You control all of this technology via the TFT instrument panel. As you select each Riding Mode you get a slightly different dash, mainly between Race and Sport. If you are racing the bike or doing a track day, engine revs and lap times are more important to know than your actual speed so thats whats prominent on the dash. On the road its the other way around. Its a pretty amazing piece of kit really. I found it a bit confusing at first but once you get the gist of what buttons to press and so on its a doddle to change the settings. What most owners would do is individualise their own machine. For example, you might have Sport Mode set with Rain Modes softer suspension settings (on the S) and so on. Theres almost no limit to what you can change on the electronic suspension.

Now, on to the suspension which is the biggest difference between the standard and S model machines. On the Panigale Marzocchi 50mm USD forks are fitted. They are fully adjustable, as is the rear shock, which also has an adjustable linkage.

On the S OhlinsNIX30 43mm USD forks are fitted, but these electronic compression and rebound damping control. Likewise with the Ohlins TTX36 rear shock, which also has an adjustable linkage. You can manually adjust the preload.

The wheels are different on both bikes too, with the standard jigger getting 10 spoke wheels while the S gets three spoke Marchesini forged alloys. Both bikes get massive six inch rear wheels on the single sided swingarm too.

Brakes are same too, with 4-piston radially mounted Brembos doing the business up front. ABS is an option on the Panigale, standard on the Panigale S.

The Panigale S is actually 2.5 kilos heavier, which is down to the standard fitment ABS.

In the wildThinking back on one particular day during the test has fond memories for me. It was one of the first times my son and I were out together, trying to explore the limits of a machine, which,

really, we were unable to do, such is the performance these machines have. Out on the open road, the bikes together at speed, rock solid, was a magical experience.

As I said earlier, the Panigale engine likes to rev due to the ultra short stroke (with 12.5:1 compression it needs a decompressor system to help starting), and I think you need to take a different approach to getting the best out of the bike, if youve sold your 1198 and bought a Panigale.

You could be a bit lazy with the Testastretta Evoluzione engine, not too lazy mind you, but try and ride the Panigale the same and you will not enjoy it anywhere near as much. Not everyone can ride a Ducati fast on the track. I know that sounds probably a bit conceited but if youve come from a four cylinder sportsbike which loves to rev, and you do the same with the Testastretta engine you will lose valuable speed by over revving it unnecessarily, and not utilising the massive torque on offer. With the Panigale I found it the opposite. If you rev the bejeezus out of it, it responds well. My point is I guess, is that riders used to, say, a CBR1000RR will probably gel quicker with the Panigale than a rider used to older Ducatis.

Anyway, moving on. The styling of the bike gives you the impression it has an ultra short wheelbase but not so. As I said, at high speed it is superb. In corners it tips in with neutrality, can hold its line beautifully, and power out on the back wheel (with DTC at the right level). Even though it looks tiny, theres still plenty of room to move around on, even for bigger riders.

Its got all this power to propel you forwards but its also got some of the best brakes on a motorcycle. We all know Brembo calipers are top shelf, so theres probably nothing more to add there.

The two major things the S has over the standard Panigale, is the Ohlins suspension and the lighter wheels. This comes at a price of course, but what does it mean in the real world? In my opinion a poorly set up S with the electronic suspension will be no better, or even as good as the standard Marzocchi kit. Thats because the Marzocchi stuff is so good anyway. But take the time to really sort out your individual requirements on the S and you will reap the benefits. The lighter three-spoke wheels make the bike sweeter to ride in the corners too, not heaps better, but enough to make it worthwhile if you have the extra cash.

Faster riders will love the slipper clutch, which most riders wont really notice too much on the road but on the track it is a real benefit. Likewise with the quick shifter (DQS).

And the computer updates? Whatever has been done has worked. At lower speeds the bike is nicer to ride, doesnt feel as harsh on the throttle. When you are on the gas its almost irrelevant anyway but the second generation is a better all-round package for everyday riding.

VerdictHow can you not appreciate a bike like the Panigale? It truly is special to ride and to look at.

Over the years Ducati Australia has managed to keep the prices fairly similar to what they were over a decade ago, so that has allowed many fans of the marque to get on board when perhaps they wouldnt have been able to.

The Panigale retails at $26,990, and the Panigale S at $33,990. They are worth every cent. n

SWITCHBACK M U S C L E D U P B A G G E R



SWITCHBACK

BIG ON STYLE, BIG ON GRUNT

AND BIG ON STREET CRED.

THATS THE HARLEY-

DAVIDSON SWITCHBACK



AT FIRST sight the Harley-Davidson Switchback appears fat and low. To me the overall look makes it one of the best looking Harleys Ive ever seen. It has an upright riding position with forward mounted brake and shift levers set above a running board. The instruments are incorporated into the tank which is typical of a lot of the Harley models these days. It has good old fashioned twin chrome rear shocks and a two into one chrome exhaust which I think adds to the bikes overall good looks. Call me old fashioned but I like the look of chrome and the retro styling of the Switchback. I guess thats one of the attractions to Harley-Davidson owners. They dig the history. The bike is also fitted with a removable fork mounted screen and hard, colour matched panniers. The one thing I felt would have improved the aesthetic would have been if twin discs were fitted to the front wheel instead of the single.

He aint heavyOn hopping onto the Switchback, the first thing I noticed was the bike felt lighter than I thought it would be and I found the seat height was nice and low. It was a nice change from some bikes where youre on your toes all the time. On first heading out onto the road I found the bike felt more nimble than you would think considering its 330 kg weight. Its well balanced and responsive and I quickly noted that its clearance was better than I thought it would be, even on roundabouts.

It was relatively easy to manoeuvre around but I found the sidestand allowed the bike to lean over further than Im used to on most bikes, but thats because Harleys have locking sidestands, so it wont fall over.

On the road againNot riding a bike with forward mounted controls on a regular basis, I found them to feel a little odd at first, but as on all previous occasions it didnt take long to get used to them. The suspension felt good around town soaking up the bumps quite adequately but the one thing that really surprised me was the front brake. Although it only has a single disc it is extremely good at pulling up its bulk. In fact it was the best front brake Ive felt on any of the Harleys Ive ridden.

Over the two weeks I had the bike I took it on a number of rides on a variety of road types and

conditions. I found it was comfortable and handled our less than pristine byways better than I expected. Im not saying it didnt affect the bike at all but if you lowered your speed to suit the condition of the particular stretch of road it was capable of taking the worst out of the ride. Power was impressive considering the bikes bulk, and acceleration was good. The thing that I loved about the power delivery was that you dont have to rev the engine. It has good pull from low down in the rev range which results in fewer gear changes being required. You can rev the bike hard if you like but it doesnt really like it, and feels much better if you ride the substantial wave of torque it offers.

Wind in the hairAs mentioned before, the screen is removable. In my opinion it looks better with the screen off, and luckily it takes barely 30 seconds to remove it. When I first had the screen off I was using the bike around town but the first trip on the highway proved that it wasnt just for show. The wind without it hits you in the chest so hard that you have to lean into it to counteract the force. This however doesnt make the riding position all that comfortable, so on longer trips back on it went.

On the open road the bikes engine was surprisingly low revving and seemed to be hardly working at all. To me, the bikes exhaust note was just right, being neither quiet nor too loud. A few friends I ride with insinuated that Harley-Davidsons dont have decent brakes but I was able to assure them that this one

did. It really does stop better than you would think, despite the single front disc and the weight of the bike.

Dont fob me offThe fit and equipment on the bike was very good and the bike uses a key and fob system, which you either love or hate. H-D has used this for quite a few years now. After you initially unlock the bike you dont need the key until you want to lock it again. The hard panniers are colour matched and blend with the bikes rear guard perfectly. They are lockable using the ignition key but I did find that they were not overly large offering only a small amount of room in each. They were fine for a day ride but for longer trips, especially two-up, Id want to fit one of the accessory rack and bag systems.

The bike comes in a number of colours including the white as in our test as well as Morocco Gold Pearl, Blackened Cayenne Sunglow, Amber Whisky, Brilliant Silver Pearl and Vivid Black
