Triumph race-tuned 765cc engines to power Moto2 for three more seasons

from https://www.financialexpress.com Triumph Motorcycles today announced that it will continue to provide their 765cc triple powerplants as Exclusive Engine Supplier to the FIM Moto2 World Championship for another three seasons, from 2022-2024. Since the start of the 2019 season, Triumph Motorcycles has provided all of the teams with race-tuned 765cc triples, each of which is based on the Street Triple RS engine. The changes made to the race-tuned engine allow it to breathe more freely, rev harder and deliver a peak power output of more than 140 PS (an increase of over 17% on the production engine).

Unique Rear Wheels on Custom H-D V-Rod

by Daniel Patrascu from https://www.autoevolution.com Unlike cars, which are a bit trickier to be brought to custom status, motorcycles may appear a bit easier to modify. After all, in the view of some, all one has to do is slap on some new, possibly bigger wheels on the thing, massage the fuel tank and exhaust system a bit, and there you have it, instant custom. But the reality is much different and, just like with cars, most of the time a lot of work goes into coming up with just the right combination of elements to make a two-wheeler not only unique, but also capable of sending the right message across, whatever that message is. Because Russians are a no-nonsense ...

Behind the Scenes: Tom Cruise Jumps Off A Cliff With A Motorcycle

by Eric Eisenberg from https://www.cinemablend.com With each new Mission: Impossible movie there is a raised expectation for bigger and better stunts, and thatā€™s because with each sequel Tom Cruise has managed to successfully raise the bar with his performances. The franchise has become a kind of testing ground for the star to push the limits of practical action on the big screen, and the things weā€™ve seen him do over the years is just mind-bending. Thatā€™s a tradition that unsurprisingly will continue in the upcoming Mission: Impossible 7 ā€“ but audiences may not be totally prepared for what they are going to witness, as what Cruise, director Christopher McQuarrie, and the crew of the film have in store is simply ...

Ride to Sturgis and back Home

Photos and text by Rogue I have been riding to Sturgis for over 30 years. Back when I was with Easyriders, I left after work on Friday, rolled onto the interstate, leaned over into the left lane and hit it. During those days I rode a performance-engine, rigid frame, Harley. I actually made it to Sturgis from Florida in two days one year, but ended up sleeping the entire next day. I changed it to a three-day ride in the future. CLICK HERE to Read this Photo Feature of 2021 Sturgis Motorcycle Ride Trip.

Mission Accomplished at XDA’s Bike Bash

DESPITE A POOR WEATHER FORECAST, XDA racers delivered an unstoppable performance for the 3rd Annual Bike Bash at Virginia Motorsports Park. With a tropical storm off the east coast, the daily weather forecast for the Bike Bash was on a magic carpet ride. However, XDA racers WANT TO RACE and showed up ready to rock the quarter-mile. The Millers modified the schedule, and the quarter-mile was humming all weekend. The event was forty-five minutes away from completion on Sunday when a large weather cell came through to end the party prematurely.
