THE Ducati 999S adapted itself especially well to the characteristics of the Valencia racetrack and reflects the results of the classification of batches. With a time of 1.43.500, Arne Tode was the fastest amongst the 9 riders who did their best run with the Ducati in the maxis port category.
The speeds at which it tracks a corner is purely the product of a very rigid frame that exhibits the best quality and also speaks volumes of the incredible tyres, one of the crucial hints of its success. Also it has a very strong twin cylinder engine. This is characterized by the transmission of power in a very docile manner, making full use of the totality of the bike especially when inclined at the outside of the corners. Its throttle response is immediate and has the capacity to produce power upto very high order in its rev range allowing it to use its full potential at the Valencia track, a virtue bred from Ducati’s racing winning heritage. In the final, the final, the 999Sbettered its own numbers with its best time clocked by the German Arne Tode at 1.42.436 second best time in the final.
Even with the Kawasaki ZX-10R none of the other five riders in the final were truly able to improve the time registered by the Ducati and it was only on a last ditch effort that the kwacker managed to get ahead of the Ducati. The fantastic dynamics is the product of a well-balanced set that confirms the validity of an edifice such as the Ducati, an ideal track day beauty.

It was the super sport category in which most of the contenders presented important revisions both in terms of design details and mechanical parts. The battle circumstances the race for the top spot looked very inviting however the classifications, showed unexpected result. The Kawasaki ZX-6R was the fastest bike in the hands of less then 10 of the 15 participating riders. Arne Tode was the fastest with her creating a record of 1.44.572.
In this way Akashi’s super sport repeated its victory like in the previous edition of Master Bike, provoking huge smiles between the Japanese representative from Kawasaki.
Its engine with a 36cchike from the older ZX-6R makes the most power in the super sport group. It is an advantage that the ZX-6R clearly enjoys since it makes it all that more difficult for the competition to pass this bike. The ZX-6R is also a nimble handler with light and effective dynamics emanating from its cycle parts.
In the finals the ZX-6R did not have many options in front of its older sibling the ZX-10R, neither in front of the Ducati 999s although its is just around one and half seconds slower then them. The hint of this small distances like the super sport in general lies in its excellent agility, efficient propulsion unit.
With around a 120PS of max power, you can exploit the abilities of the ZX-6R far more easily then the more powerful litre class super bike. In general the ZX-6R is more accessible and fun, although she expects more focus on the riders behalf to maintain a proper regimen and not provoke extreme sensations out of it.

Skoda is ready to launch its Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) ‘Yeti’ of mass production in India. Skoda the automobile manufacturer has rolled out the first unit of Yeti hatchback-SUV crossover at its Kvasiny plant in the Czech Republic.

In last year the Kawasaki ZX-10R was clearly the favorite at Montmelo, in Cheste it simply was not the same with the entry of the new GSX-R1000 and the excellent dynamics of the rest of its adversaries. But in fact the ZX-10R was the fastest amongst the super bikes with four riders doing their fastest lap with her.
The clue to its success lies in the excellent combination of the power from its four-cylinder engine and its light weight, coupled to an agile package that feel more like super sport then superbike.
THE zx-10R is the most powerful bike in this test and probably the only one that also delivers power in the most satisfactory manner.Having said that, it is not a brute like the engine Suzuki GSX-R1000, NOR SHARP AS THE Yamaha R1, her abilities lying midway between the two. If has a small advantage that manifests itself practically while accelerating from the outside of the corners at half the speed required at the Valencia circuit. With her you can accelerate to the maximum, a little before stretching up to 14,000rpm on the rev meter.
If is also the lightest bike in the category which of course enhances its dynamics, making it very easy to throw it around the track. Add to that her rock soild stability and precise directional control. These aspects compensate for its faults and make for one of the best biking experiences in 2005. No wonder then that the ZX-10R is truly deserving of the master Bike title.
