I found this amazing video in Youtube. Aprilia’s domination in the World Superbike Championship has given rise to a special edition of a motorcycle that already set new standards for the supersports street bike genre: the Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC Special Edition is the new benchmark for the supersports segment. The Nissan GT-R is another amazing piece of automobile with complete track based features. This is pretty special to me as both these machines are one of my favourite automobiles.

The RSV4 Factory APRC Special Edition is a milestone in the history of super sport bikes. All of the racing expertise and indications gathered during the successful 2010 season of World Champion Max Biaggi were brought together in a bike that sets a new standard for future road bike development.

The new features introduced in the Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC SE include:

  • APRC Aprilia Performance Ride Control, the electronic management package including:
  1. ATC: Aprilia Traction Control automatically adjusts to different types of tyres, with 8 settings conveniently selectable while racing from a joystick on the left handlebar without turning down the throttle.
  2. AWC: Aprilia Wheelie Control with three settings.
  3. ALC: Aprilia Launch Control, for use on the track only, with 3 settings.
  4. AQS: Aprilia Quick Shift, for ultra-fast shifting without closing the throttle or using the clutch.
  • Dual display mode for instrument panel display: ROAD and RACE;
  • New exhaust is lighter and offers improved performance;
  • Optimised gear ratios for the utmost track performance;
  • Improved engine lubrication;
  • New, exclusive 200/55 dual blend rear tyre.

Original Source: Mahindra Registers its Best Performance in MotoGP from BikeAdvice.in

Greetings! The MotoGP season is on its way and so are the teams. The teams from various cross border ethnic mix are in the competition and India is not missing out as well. As a matter of fact Team Mahindra has registered one of their most awaited and incredible victories of the season with both the riders finishing in the top spot. The team was rejuvenated as they registered their best performance in the 125cc category. It was on Sunday in the Dutch TT that both the riders from the Indian team have outperformed. Though quantum may surprise you but this happens to be the best race for team Mahindra with Marcel Schrotter finishing 9th and Danny Webb managed to grab a 13th place.

What was disappointing for Mahindra despite a wonderful race was the rainy weather. Every now and then the track was getting poured and finally the race was called off at the end of just 14 laps. Marcel was in a good shape during the day as he was managing to move further in the race until it was called off and the results were taken from the 14th lap. Had the race been a lap longer, Mahindra's results would have been even better.

This happens to be the first time Mahindra's riders have actually finished gaining points in a race in the 125cc category. Speaking on the achievement from the Mumbai headquarters team's principal said that the team is very delighted as they broke into top 10 in just their 6th race. He further added that both the riders made it in points and that makes this race really special. He said that Mahindra have been looking to improve their bike over a couple of months and the effort is not going waste.

All in all it can be stated that team Mahindra has matured over the races and it is a delight to see a team from India cracking into top 10 only after their six races. We expect to see more such performances from the Indian team and thus we wish them all the very best for the near future.
