The Pata Yamaha WorldSBK Team has launched a new video showcasing the Yamaha YZF-R1 World Superbike machine. Yamaha had departed from the World SBK Championship in 2011, but with the new R1 hitting the market in 2015, Yamaha has returned in full force.
The video was filmed at a favorite MotoGP and World Superbike track, Spain’s Circuito de Jerez. While there, the factory Yamaha pilots Alex Lowes and Sylvain Guintoli put the bike through its paces while also showing off its 2016 livery.Lowes and Guintoli hold nothing back as they wring the bike out in the corners of Jerez. In the downtime, both share their thoughts of the upcoming seasons, as well as the bike itself, along with Team Principal Paul Denning in regards to the 2016 World SBK Championship.To see all the action from the Pata Yamaha Official WorldSBK Team, watch the video above.
Zero Electric ADV Bike + Al and Bridget from Throw Your Leg Over
byMotos and Friends by Ultimate Motorcycle
Hello everyone and welcome to Motos and Friends, a weekly Podcast brought to you by the editorial team at Ultimate Motorcycling. My name is Arthur Coldwells.
Electric mobility is everywhere nowadays. Whether it’s a car, a truck, an assisted bicycle, a scooter, or any number of new innovations, the electric revolution is certainly here. In this week’s first segment, Nic de Sena took a ride on Zero’s recently announced new Adventure bike—the Zero DSR-X. There’s been a lot of hype about this new arrival on the ADV scene, and of course the questions are many. Nic talks to me about whether Zero actually have a credible, alternative energy ADV bike—or if the machine is just simply an empty promise.
In our second segment, I chat with Al and Bridget from ‘Throw Your Leg Over’. They took time out to record this episode from somewhere in the middle of Romania, of all places.
These interesting Aussies have traveled—and painstakingly documented—the thousands of miles they’ve covered riding the best roads and sights through Australia, Tasmania, Europe, eastern Europe, and Scandinavia, among other places.
Their guided tour books and videos are all available online as a tremendous resources for all you would-be travelers. A membership to Throw Your Leg Over also helps fund their future travels—and who knows where those might lead them.
Al and Bridget are truly committed to their passion for travel, and that really comes across. Their fun and zeal for life on two wheels is great to hear.
