	2010 Modified Supersport Shootout [motorcycleusa.com] \| 15 Jul 10
01:12:40 by UFO \| Views: 6189 \| Comments: 15 2010 models: CBR600RR vs. ZX-6R vs. GSXR600 vs. YZF-R6. This is stage 1 of the shootout. Stage 2 will follow later. Our annual Supersport Shootout is one of the most fiercely contested of the year, manufacturers jockeying for top honors in the cut throat middleweight market. The 2009 version was one of the best in MotoUSA history, so when we realized that none of the bikes would be receiving any significant updates for 2010, giving us no real reason to compare them again in stock trim, well, we were pretty bummed! But only for a minute, as we came up with the idea for a totally new concept: the 2010 Modified Supersport Shootout. You can...

	2011 Kawasaki ZX-10R Preview [motorcycle.com] \| 14 Jul 10
02:07:44 by UFO \| Views: 2037 \| Comments: 3 It looks like more and more info on the new liter sized Ninja is building up to its 2011 launch. First off, let’s dispel two wild rumors. The new 10R has neither a big-bang firing order nor a horizontal placement of its cylinders, despite fanciful speculation in lesser publications. Rumors of variable valve timing are also likely unfounded. Instead, we find an evolutionary literbike design of a traditional inline-Four engine wrapped in a perimeter-beam aluminum frame. And yet, despite the apparent lack of visible innovation, we’re told to expect a seriously competitive liter-sized sportbike. It’s a total ground-up redesign. Rumors su...

	First Ride: Yamaha FZ8/Fazer8 [Cycle Canada] \| 14 Jul 10
02:02:07 by UFO \| Views: 10514 \| Comments: 6 Sorry U.S., you have to live vicariously through our brethren to the north. With an engine based on the FZ-1's, which is in turn based on the R1's, the 779 cc FZ8 shares bits with the last-generation supersport. The crankshaft is the pre-crossplane unit from the ’08 R1, while the connecting rods are shared with the current R1. The compression ratio is 12:1, and each cylinder inhales and exhausts through four valves, unlike the FZ-1, which has five. Yamaha estimates horsepower at 110 while the torque claim is 61 lb-ft at 8,000 rpm. A torque peak at 8,000 rpm immediately tells you that this is not a slow turning twin, but the number is a trifle ...

	Ten Best Bikes of 2010 [Cycle World] \| 13 Jul 10
11:21:26 by UFO \| Views: 14507 \| Comments: 69 Cycle World is rolling out their Top 10 of 2010 this week, adding 2 bikes per day until the list is finished this Friday. First bike on the list...Best Standard: Kawasaki Z1000 If at first you don't succeed, try and try yet again. The third time's been a charm for Kawasaki's venerable Z1000. It nabbed an honorable mention when it debuted back in 2003 but got edged out by the glamorous Aprilia Tuono. Updates to the Z1000 in '07 kept one of our favorite versatile sporting motorcycles in the conversation, but it was the Triumph Tiger 1050 that had us by the tail that year....
