Ducati To Show Hypermotard Concept Bike December 9-11 At Long Beach, California International Motorcycle Show

DUCATI HYPERMOTARD MAKES ONLY NORTH AMERICAN APPEARANCE IN LONG BEACH EICMA “Best of Show” winning concept bike on display December 9th 11th at Long Beach Cycle World IMS Show Cupertino, CA December 2, 2005 Just a few hours from its unveiling, the new concept bike, the Ducati Hypermotard, had already won its first prestigious and important recognition. The prototype designed by Pierre Terblanche was awarded “Best of Show” at the “Designers Night” held by the Motorcycle Design Association. The new Ducati “jewel” was chosen from the many new motorcycles proposed at EICMA, the 63rd International Motorcycle Exhibition. Now US enthusiasts have a rare chance to see this bike at the Long Beach Cycle World International Motorcycle Show on December 9th through December 11th, 2005. “This is an exciting time to be involved with Ducati. The Hypermotard coming to California is the only one in existence and we are delighted to show it in North America, which is poised to become Ducati’s number one market next year. This concept bike takes us to a new market completely,” commented Michael Lock, Ducati North America CEO. The Ducati Hypermotard is a radical concept bike that takes power, aggressiveness, versatility and sport performance to a new extreme. Taking advantage of the compactness and agility of a traditional supermotard, Ducati has upped the ante with potent street power thanks to a new air-cooled twin engine. The front of the bike is as slim and compact as a single cylinder, in part thanks to the engine layout, but also due to the absence of bulky radiators. The Ducati Hypermotard takes-on urban canyons and attacks mountain curves with total abandon. High performance starts with attitude. Pared down to its essentials, the Ducati Hypermotard is an extreme performance, over-the-top motorcycle. Its purpose is single minded to thrill. Incredibly slim, compact and exceptionally light, with riding position to match, it’s ready to rock every road with big-bore acceleration. Supermotard styling makes the blood boil. However, this bike offers what no Supermotard can: speeds exceeding 135 MPH on the race track, fuel injection and 100 horsepower and only 385 lbs of dry weight. The Ducati Hypermotard the most extreme mountain conquering, urban assaulting machine ever from Ducati. Founded in 1926, Ducati builds racing-inspired motorcycles characterized by unique engine features, innovative design, advanced engineering and overall technical excellence. Ducati has won eleven of the last thirteen World Superbike Championship titles and more individual victories than the competition put together. The Company produces motorcycles in five market segments which vary in their technical and design features and intended customers: Superbike, Supersport; Monster, Sport Touring and Multistrada. The Company’s motorcycles are sold in more than 40 countries worldwide, with a primary focus in the Western European and North American markets.

Famed Tuner Hull To Assist Dunlop Riders With Chassis Set-up At Willow This Month

Sport Tire Services Inc. and 4-Time AMA Road Race Tunner Of The Year Danny Hull have joined forces in an effort to help WSMC racers with chassis set-up for their new Dunlop Tires purchased at Willow Springs Raceway December 16th, 17th and 18th. “We have never offered a service like this before to our Dunlop riders,” states Dennis Smith, President of Sport Tire Services Inc. of Paso Robles, California. “Basically we want to help our riders at Willow do two things–Go faster and do it easier with the proper set-up for our slicks and DOT’s.” Danny has worked on chassis set-up for the last 12 years, at the AMA National level (all on Dunlop Tires), for riders like, Scott Russell, Doug Chandler, Kurtis Roberts, Eric Bostrom, Aaron Gobert. “Danny has a wealth of knowledge and experiance with motorcyles at fast racetracks on Dunlop tires,” said Smith. “He’s going to bring both facets with him to the semi pro-level at Willow this month. “Remember Kurtis Roberts’ (Erion Honda) pass on Eric Bostrom (Kawasaki) in turn eight at Willow Springs that decided the championship in his favor at the end of the 600cc Supersport race at Willow in 2000? Danny Hull was Kurtis’ chassis guy! “We at Sport Tire look forward to working with him and seeing what effect he can have with lowering our riders’ lap times as well as making them more comfortable at speed.” Those interested in receiving help with their set-up that weekend, should contact Danny Hull or Dennis Smith at 805-434-4810 to reserve a time for this service. “If ever a guy was condidering a switch to Dunlop at Willow, this would be the month to do it!” concluded Smith.

CCS Restructuring, Without F-USA

CCS Restructuring, Without F-USA

Reliable industry sources say that the Championship Cup Series (CCS) will be restructured in 2006 and the F-USA Series as it currently exists will disappear, replaced with American Sport Bike Assn. (ASBA) classes run in conjunction with CCS classes at selected events. The giant Supercross-promoting company now known as Clear Channel Entertainment Motor Sports, promised six years ago to become the premier promoter of National motorcycle races in the U.S. But the company now plans to license CCS to Director of Operations Kevin Elliott, who is forming his own company. Clear Channel Entertainment Motor Sports had been attempting to sell CCS for between $600,000 and $800,000 earlier this year. CCS was founded by Roger Edmondson in 1983 after he left the employ of WERA, and initially the group was known as AMA/CCS with events running under AMA sanction. Edmondson later brought the CCS 600cc Supersport, 750cc Supersport and 3-hour Endurance races to AMA Nationals to help promoters fill out their weekends. After initially running as a separate part of AMA weekends with independent registration, scoring and officiating, the CCS classes became an integrated part of the AMA program with Edmondson directing AMA National road racing. That arrangement ended in a dispute and subsequent court case, eventually settled when the AMA paid about $3 million to Edmondson in the summer of 2001. By that time, Edmondson had already sold CCS to what became Clear Channel, in 1999. Reached by phone, Kevin Elliott declined to comment.
