MODIFICATION YAMAHA NEW SCORPIO 2010
Spesifikasi harga yamaha new scorpio-PT Yamaha Motor Kencana Indonesia or YMKI continue to maintain its superiority as ruler of the sports segment with a barrage of bullets fired into the national market mainstay. After V-Ixion and Byson, Yamaha launched the New Scorpio Z at Cafe La Bride, Ancol, North Jakarta, today (09/21/2010).
Although the facelift, New Scorpio Z performed with fresh faces, especially on the main lights (headlight) with a hood and systems that adopt the style moge multireflektor Yamaha FZ8. Fuel tanks are also larger and equipped with fins (Shroud) with a lid that is designed motor sport-style blend.
Another change visible on the stern, from the rear lights (tail light) and a more sporty exhaust and panel indicators, such as tachometers and a new speedometer.
However, the New Scorpio Z machine was not changed from previous models. Yamaha 223 cc engines still rely on four-stroke SOHC helpless aircooler 18.2 PS at 8000 rpm with peak torque up to 1.72 kgm at 6500 rpm.
Marketing Director Vincent YMKI Mulyono said, this latest product already booked all over dealers in Indonesia. However, delivery of new units can be carried out in October.

What a fantastic bike! Thanks to Cal from the UK for sending me these. I've seen a few like these over the years and this is the best by far! I love it when an old iconic bike gets modernized without the spirit of the original being overwhelmed by the new components. It's a delicate dance and flawlessly executed here.

Reader Ride. Ducati Pantah 500.
Ian Fallon wrote for the Ducati Museum -
Introduced as a 500 in 1979, the Pantah engine was designed and built by engineers Fabio Taglioni and Gian Luigi Mengoli. It formed the basis of the Ducati production/racing program for years to come. So advanced was the design that it was still in production throughout the 1980s ... Pantah used a toothed belt camshaft drive instead of the earlier bevel-gears. Other important technical developments were the racing-inspired 60° included valve angle and the forged one-piece crankshaft. These features improved the bike’s reliability and made the design more suitable for competition.
I have owned this bike for three years and love it. The camshafts on this motor makes it feel like it free revs and it wants to go past its 10,000rpm redline. The suspension and frame work very well and will keep up with any of my friends larger displacement bikes in the twisties. It is an easy bike to push and control and I believe one of the more beautiful. If you get a chance to ride one you will not be disappointed. This was the first belt drive Ducati and the basis of every Ducati motor since.
Thanks for a great site.

Fantastic Historical Boardtrack Photos
Fair warning. Don't go over there unless you have some time to kill. It's addictive.
Here's a great grandstand shot (of a car race obviously) to give you an idea of the scale of the the track sizes. Pretty amazing. Must have been quite a spectacle for it's time.
Reader Ride. Nice Boardtracker.

Howdy! My name is Andrew and I would like you to check out my 1977 Yamaha XS360 2D. it has 13,300 original miles. I use the bike daily to commute around Atlanta, Ga. The seating position and the torque from the 360cc parallel twin is great. Ive mounted Shinko 705 dual sport tires and they are excellent on the terrible streets around here. They are not only decent and inexpensive but also offer great traction for going off road to avoid traffic jams or just exploring gravel roads.
The bike breathes through dual CV Mikunis and stock mufflers and features a paint scheme similar to the Daytona Yamahas. Also, here is a quick video I made with my Go-Pro helmet cam. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAd9ssSz2kE
The photos were shot at the old Murray Mill in west midtown, Atlanta.
Keep up the great blog!

A documentary about motor-racer Kim Newcombe, who turned heads in the 70s on a König motorbike he developed and designed himself. He was killed racing in 1973 and posthumously came second in that year's World 500cc Grand Prix. The film mixes interviews and underdog triumph on the track scenes, with Super 8 footage of family life on the circuit, and poignant wife-of-maverick reflections from his widow Janeen. Love, Speed and Loss won best documentary at the 2007 Qantas TV Awards and Air NZ Screen Awards for best documentary, directing, and editing.

Update from the comments:
Hi,
it is not a twin engine. It is a 4 cylinder engine. Originally a motorboat engine.
Cheers Uwe
I suspected that it might be but it was hard to be certain from the camera angle. thank you for clearing that up! Makes it all the more interesting!

A liquid cooled opposed four cylinder with a gear driven, toothed belt rotary valve intake intake setup. Interesting stuff.
