Schwantz to Lead Honda Moto2 Wild Card at Indy – Erion Honda and Roger Lee Hayden On-Board Also

By 2 Comments

We announced a few days ago that Honda America was fielding a wild card Moto2 entry at the Indy GP, but at the time the details, like who was to ride the bike, were a bit sketchy. Well now we know the details, and the Honda America Moto2 team sounds killer.

For starters the legend himself Kevin Schwantz will be heading the race team. The crew and technical know-how will be coming from Erion Racing, who know Honda race bikes almost better than the winged brand itself. At the helm of the Moriwaki MD600 will be Roger Lee Hayden, who is taking a quick break from his duties racing for Team Green in WSBK. Did you get all that?

Anthony Colard’s C12-R Ducati Superbike Concept

By 7 Comments

A couple weeks ago we showed you the Ducati Car concept by Anthony Colard, which was of course a four-wheeled vehicle, and not a motorcycle. But for the past 6 months we’ve been quietly following the work of French transportation designer, and his Ducati Superbike project. Based off the Ducati 1098/1198 chassis, Colard has taken his own perception of the Italian motorcycle’s style, and improved upon some of its deficiencies. Now finished with the design phase of his project, we can finally share with you some of what this talented designer has been focusing on all this time.
