In the latest edition of the Brap Talk motorcycle podcast, we take a look at a bevy of announcements for new and updated motorcycles that just dropped.
Where there is a new Aprilia RSV4 superbike, there is a new Aprilia Tuono V4 streetfighter. Such is the case in 2021, as well.
The 2021 Aprilia RSV4 just dropped with some pretty big changes for the new year – new fairing design, new swingarm, bigger motor, and more.
MotoGP has announced that it will replace its canceled Sepang test date with an extra test in Qatar, just ahead of the season-opener there.
At least two new KTM bikes are being released at the end of January, as teasing has commenced for the Super Duke GT and Super Adventure models.
Honda has updated the Gold Wing Tour for the 2021 model year so it can actually hold two helmets in its top box (61 liters of space now). Huzzah!
MotoGP heads to Barcelona, Spain for its next round of racing. So, here is your preview of this weekend’s Catalan GP.
Aprilia Racing is sporting some new paint on the bikes for Sylvain Guintoli and Marco Melandri. The Italian factory calls the metallic paint job “Silver Fireball” and while some may long for the classic red and black livery scheme, we have to say, we are smitten with the modern look. While the Aprilia RSV4 Factory SBK is getting a bit long in the tooth, the potent WSBK race bike is still a formidable weapon, especially in the hands of these two talented riders. 2014 is shaping up to be a good season in World Superbike, and we can expect to see Aprilia updating its road bike platform in the next year or two. Until then though, enjoy the high-resolution photos of the 2014 Aprilia RSV4 Factory WSBK race bike.
It is a sad day for motorsports fans near Salt Lake City, as Miller Motorsports Park will cease operations at the end of October this year, the track has announced. The news comes from the Larry H. Miller Group (LHM), the track operator, which has decided not to renew its lease with Toole County on the property, thus effectively closing the track and ceasing its operations. This news will not affect the schedule of racing events (including the MotoAmerica round in June), driving schools, public karting access, and other group activities that are currently planned at the facility, but it does raise some question marks regarding what will happen to the space once the LHM is no longer running it.
