Not much of a modification but these OEM Triumph bobbins sure make maintenance much easier. No more scratches on my swingarm, and no more accidental dropping of the bike.

We were at the Ace Motorsports Grand Open Party and had the Ducati Hypermotard Dyno’ed. Check out the results! Also, check out the Ducati girl who molested the Hypermotard in my previous post.

Here is Aprilia’s answer to the Ducati Hypermotard, the SMV Dorsoduro 750. The supermotard inspired Dorsoduro is powered by a 95hp V-twin engine straight off the new Shiver 750. Unlike the Hypermotard, the Dorsoduro is liquid-cooled and not air cooled. The Dorsoduro is also equipped with the “ride-by-wire” system, which lets the rider change settings to meet the needs of the road.

Just kidding! While my baby is getting serviced, I have been left without a ride. Well, the folks at Lex Racing were awesome enough to lend me one of their spare track bikes, they have yet to convert. It’s a 2007 Yamaha R6, and in my favorite color! They have begun to tune and test their bikes for next year’s racing season. I guess, I better not get too attached, as this bike is destined to be thrashed at the race track!

As you can see the 2007 R6 comes in a beautiful candy red color. Much has changed in two years since the 2005 model came out. Other than a hot new look, the new model now has fuel injection with YCC-T and the rear suspension has high and low speed dampers. When we take a look at the body we see that they’ve opted for a short exhaust can, a new design for the fairings, and what I call “chinckier” eyes and a Rudolph nose. Isn’t it appropriate considering the bike is red? Ha. The bike purrs as I ride and the throttle has a quick response, but as a girl with my stature I’m having a hard time with the seat height. Not only did they make the bike taller, but they made the seat wider so that I can barely put one foot down. The overall body modifications are bit longer, wider, and taller.

For a split second I was amazed but then I started to think that maybe this was staged. Just a bit too coincidental for me. What do you guys think?
