What’s up people? For those of our readers across the pond, Kawasaki is recalling around 1,000 ER6-f (Ninja 605r) models to replace the footguard and mounting bracket after it found in certain conditions can stop the rear brake being used effectively.

A Kawasaki statement reads: “Kawasaki has become aware that on some units of 2009 and 2010 ER-6f models, the rider’s footwear may contact the top edge of the lower right cowling when operating the rear brake. In a limited number of cases this can obstruct the rider from operating the rear brake pedal effectively.

“The company has decided to launch a recall campaign for affected machines, in both standard and ABS form, to replace the right hand foot guard and adjacent lower cowling bracket.

“A recall letter will be sent to all warranty registered owners of eligible units asking them to contact their nearest authorized dealer to get the free of charge modifications done. The rectification work on each machine will take approximately 20 minutes to complete.”

So take them in Ninja owners. It’s free!

      Hey guys, Jon here. So, we have seen many spyshots of the new Ducati secret project bike for the past few weeks. What is it exactly, we still don’t know. Here is the latest shot released by Ducati most likely.

      This shot clearly demonstrates its “generous” proportions. Is it a cruiser? Is it a muscle bike? What?

      We know it’s got the Testastretta 11 degree engine, USD forks and Brembo Monoblocks. Those are all performance bike components. Then you’ve got the 240 rear tire and the huge size. Does that make it a cruiser?

      Well, whatever it is, keep it right here for more updates. Be sure to log on to Ducatist for more information.
