Some time ago Pepo Rosell, owner of Radical Ducati, told me that he was working in a beautiful new bike. And here it is, the new RAD02 Corsa Evo where you can find the carbon fiber solo seat that I designed and modelled in clay for him. Now it’s retouched to fill some slight bumps and looks really streamlined. I hope you like this bike and remember that you can buy the seat that can be used in some of the standard Ducati models. And of course you can also buy the bike if you like it! You can see the rest of the pictures in Radical Ducati Blog.
I’ve also found a new video about the RAD02 Corsa Evo PURSANG. Enjoy it!
Unfortunately I’m back from holydays, back to satellites and back to bikes! Even if I love the work I do, I prefer travelling and having a good time with my friends and my girl. Well, I’m human…
But after this short summer I’ve got a lot of things to do and some interesting news.
And talking about humans… Here’s a new human powered helicopter to beat the Sikorsky prize. One of my favourites challenges. The approach to the project it’s far from the idea I have to beat it, but it’s obviously good because it’s a new world record. If you work on the hover that offers the ground effect you won’t take off over 3 meters tall as the prize claims. But anyway I think that these guys have taken a good way just by attempting it. If they continue developing this helicopter they will reach a difficult record to beat.
You can read more here, in the article I’ve found in Gizmag.
Don’t miss the previous article about human powered helicopters and other vehicles.
At this moment we have no time and no money to attempt to win this prize but we’re working in other interesting prize that you’ll know soon!
Now motorbikes and e-bikes are the main focus of our work.
Don’t miss the latest pictures in www.lamoto2.es of our Center Hub Steering Moto2 and please share your ideas.
Here is the official web of the project
Enjoy your coffee!
The new Vyrus MOTO2 with Centre Hub Steering it’s on the racetrack and it seems that couls be the surprise for the next year.
Do you think it will race the next year Moto2 worl championship? Do you think it can win races? Watch this videos and please send your opinions, as you can imagine they are very important for us in this case.
The only thing I can say in this moment it’s that looks as a master piece of engineering.
As I told you in the latest short posts I’ve been to the Silverstone racetrack to enjoy a wonderful races weekend. We had barely complete access to the Honda team box and we could also see the other teams’ boxes. I’ve met journalist of other countries and so I have learnt a bit more about this great job.
I arrived to the airport and a chauffeur in a black E class Mercedes was waiting for me, nice beginning…
After some traffic jam we arrived to the paddock and then to the Honda-Castrol hospitality, our headquarters.
Unfortunately Xaus wasn’t there, his back is still bad. Too bad to fly from Spain. In other hand Jonathan Rea, also injured, was there to answer our question about the team and the bikes. We meet also Alex Lowes (Rea substitute) and Fabrizio Lai (substitute of Xaus substitute (Karl Muggeridge). Karl Had a bicycle crash. Really a bad year for TenKate Castrol Honda Team. Well, continuing with this luck, also Lowes hits the ground and breaks it first bike.
But obviously the best won. Checa won! 2 of 2 races, great!
And the BMWs finished next. Why is the Superbikes dominated by European bikes? That’s a difficult question to answer…
The Ducati is a completely different bike, 2 cilynders and rear one sided swingarm, and the only one with tubular frame. Here the work of the performance engineers it’s really important but also the base bike must have an amazing performance to reach to a good level. Think I love more about the races was the equilibrium between the bikes. No big difference makes these races quite interesting to see.
I think WSBK have a new follower…
Far from the chauffeur, the amazing Spa Hotel , the food and that insignificant staff, I went to get the most info I could about the bikes. I took thousand of pictures of rear suspensions and swing arms and I’ll try to apply all that information in LAMOTO2. Don’t miss it!
