2011 Kawasaki Ninja 250
When most guys still want this bike to be really a sport bike, not the case with Ismail Saleh. Interested in the earlier works of Studio Motor, which is a Kawasaki Ninja 250 custom V.1, Born to be The bluster. That is the reason why he changed his mini 250cc sportbike into a custom bike that now has a higher value.
This is the Ninja 250 has been produced in 2011, a very new bike. Ninja 250 “The Bluster”, is a submission from a guy who came from Bandar Lampung, Sumatra – Indonesia. Culture has now changed, and everyone has a different opinion if they asked “Culture”. What is the most interesting culture? maybe a motorcycle is one of them.
This is the Ninja 250 has been produced in 2011, a very new bike. Ninja 250 “The Bluster”, is a submission from a guy who came from Bandar Lampung, Sumatra – Indonesia. Culture has now changed, and everyone has a different opinion if they asked “Culture”. What is the most interesting culture? maybe a motorcycle is one of them.
One of the reasons of Ismail Saleh before modifying the bike is “Want to be different”. Definitely, the number of the owners of the Kawasaki Ninja 250 in Indonesia, more and more and become less exclusive. A strategy for those who want to be different is the right choice.
The first change on this bike is fairly simple but has significantly changed the bike became very stout, is a pair of a Suzuki GSXR-1000 to replace a pair of telescopic suspension of this 2011 Ninja 250. For the dimensions of the front rim using the brand of TK Japan, using size 18×3.00 Inch combined with E705 120/80-18 Shinko tire brand. Next to the rear wheel dimensions, using 18×3.50 inch size combined with E705 150/70-18 Shinko tire brand and the spoke wheels make this bike look very cool.
It will make you very jealous, when you look at this bike. Some changes have been completed, the tank and the steering parts (handlebar). Tank shape is inspired by the concept of a Triumph, while the handlebar using fatbar type. Scrambler concept is very perfect.
As always, a good motorcycle is a bike that has a good seat and comfortable to ride. Above you can see, how comfortable the seats were designed by Studio Motor for Ismail Saleh? I think this is very convenient, the stitches are very beautiful and we can say this as a “Piece of Art”.
Overall assessment for the Kawasaki Ninja 250 The bluster V.2, maybe you’ll agree to say for this bike is perfect, neat, and beautiful. There is no doubt, no one can say “no” to this bike, a masterpiece of Studio Motor.
If you are one of the owners of the Kawasaki Ninja 250 and already feel bored and want to change the look of your bike to be like this and want to know how much it in cost details, please contact directlyStudio Motor – Custom Motorcycle Workshop & Biker Fashion, if you live in Jakarta please visit directly to the address:

MotoGP : Márquez signe la pole et un nouveau record au Sachsenring / Record breaker Marquez takes pole with fastest ever Sachsenring lap
Marc Márquez prendra le départ du Grand Prix eni Motorrad d'Allemagne en tête de la grille MotoGP™ après avoir devancé Dani Pedrosa et Stefan Bradl en qualifications.
Marc Márquez (Repsol Honda) a décroché sa septième pole position de la saison en battant un record du circuit vieux de six ans au Sachsenring, qu’avait établi Casey Stoner avec Ducati en 2008. Le Champion du Monde en titre, en quête ce week-end d’une neuvième victoire en autant de courses, a battu le chrono de l’Australien de 0.130s pour signer la nouvelle référence absolue (1'20.937) sur le circuit allemand et renouer avec la pole position, qui lui avait échappé lors des deux manches précédentes.
Vainqueur au Sachsenring ces quatre dernières années, le leader du Championnat du Monde MotoGP™ 2014 partagera la première ligne avec un autre expert de la piste allemande, son coéquipier Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda). Ce dernier a cependant chuté dans le virage n°1, dans lequel il s’était fracturé la clavicule l’an dernier, alors qu’il était en pole provisoire mais n’a finalement été battu que par Márquez.
Egalement sur RC213V, Stefan Bradl (LCR Honda) s’est assuré son deuxième départ en première ligne de la saison pour sa course nationale, en se classant à 0.403s de la pole, avec tout juste 36 millièmes de seconde d’avance sur Aleix Espargaró (NGM Forward Racing), qui avait été le plus rapide vendredi et devra se contenter d’un départ en quatrième position.
La star de la catégorie Open sera accompagnée en deuxième ligne par les deux pilotes du team Movistar Yamaha MotoGP, Jorge Lorenzo et Valentino Rossi, tandis que Andrea Iannone (Pramac Racing), premier pilote sur Ducati, Pol Espargaró (Monster Yamaha Tech3) et son coéquipier Bradley Smith, tombé pour la quatrième fois du week-end en Q2, s’élanceront de la troisième ligne.
Álvaro Bautista (GO&FUN Honda Gresini) a conclu les qualifications avec une décevante dixième position, à plus d’une demi-seconde d’une première ligne sur laquelle figurent les trois autres RC213V Factory.
En Q1, Nicky Hayden (Drive M7 Aspar) avait surpris en réalisant le meilleur temps au dernier moment, juste après la chute de Cal Crutchlow (Ducati) dans le virage n°11, le waterfall, et accédait à la Q2 avec Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati). L’Italien a pris la onzième position devant l’Américain en Q2 tandis que Crutchlow terminait à la quinzième position sur la grille, derrière Yonny Hernández (Energy T.I. Pramac Racing) et Scott Redding (Drive M7 Aspar). Mike di Meglio (Avintia Blusens) prenait quant à lui la 21e position après avoir lui aussi chuté dans le waterfall, dans la séance FP4.

Marc Marquez notched a new best pole lap in the MotoGP™ Q2 session at the eni Motorrad Grand Prix Deutschland, with Dani Pedrosa and Stefan Bradl also on row one – Pedrosa setting a fast lap before a crash.
A 1'20.937 effort from Marquez gave him pole by just under 0.3s from Repsol Honda colleague Pedrosa who went down at turn 1 with three minutes remaining. The rapid lap time for Marquez broke Casey Stoner’s six year old best pole lap record of 1’21.067 from 2008.
The home fans were delighted with Bradl (LCR Honda MotoGP) registering a 1’21.340 lap, as the German qualified third having initially been on provisional pole five minutes into the session.
The second row, meanwhile features a strong Yamaha presence with Open-equipped Aleix Espargaro (NGM Forward Racing) placing his Forward-Yamaha machine ahead of the factory Movistar Yamaha MotoGP machines of Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi on the grid.
Andrea Iannone (Pramac Racing) impressed again in seventh, ahead of Pol Espargaro (Monster Yamaha Tech3) and Bradley Smith (Monster Yamaha Tech3) on row three. Smith suffered a fourth crash of the weekend in Q2 but was not hurt.
Alvaro Bautista (GO&FUN Honda Gresini) was tenth, whilst Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati Team) and Nicky Hayden (Drive M7 Aspar) complete the fourth row having come through from Q1.
Cal Crutchlow (Ducati Team) missed out on a Q2 ride having crashed at high speed at turn 11, taking a big tumble through the gravel at the end of Q1. Crutchlow was unhurt and quickly went back to his pit box for a debrief despite initially looking quite shaken by the accident.

PRODUCT REVIEW – REV’IT! REDHOOK JACKET – BY THE BIKE SHED’S GARETH CHARLTON
The black leather jacket. A staple for every generation and style of rider, it is completely ubiquitous with our passion, and yet it can be remarkably difficult to find one you like. Too much branding, too plain, too modern, too old fashioned, the list goes on. But in the Rev it! Redhook, “designed to match the style and sensibility of vintage motorcycle enthusiasts” I have found a jacket with every detail I desire.
It is a simple thing, nothing fancy, just swathes of grainy, sweet smelling leather, blocked into classic panelling with robust stitching. The shoulders and sleeves received the majority of the designers attention with some period race inspired padding, beyond that a small slanted chest pocket and outline stitching on the waist pockets are the extent of the design elements. Those traveling in your wake will see your brand allegiance through a small embossed logo on your lumber spine.
The Redhook comes in either black or brown Arizona cow hide, it features Knox removable elbow and shoulder armour with a pocket for an optional back protector. There is also a simply removable thermal body warmer making the Redhook a multiple season option.
The sleeves are a generous length and it has a fine tailored fit across the shoulders. On my tall body an extra inch or so length on the torso would be ideal but it sits well when on the bike with slightly extended lower back coverage.
My previous Rev It! experiences attest to sound build quality and everything suggests the Redhook will live up to these standards. Technically it is a fine jacket and if the design ticks your style boxes you will not be disappointed.
LEWIS LEATHERS ROAD RACING BOOT NO. 177
The Road Racer Boot no.177 from Lewis Leathers are a short, close fitting leather racing boot with back ankle and leg straps with two expanding gussets at the back of the calf. The quilted front panel provides extra protection, and the soles are stitched moulded non-slip rubber.
Lewis Leathers are the oldest British motorcycle clothing company, founded in 1892 by David Isaacs. The company supplied early aviators, motorists and motorcyclists with protective clothing against the cold and damp British climate. In the mid-1950s, D. Lewis produced the Bronx leather jacket, a landmark garment and one of the first products aimed directly at the post-war teenage fashion market, which was widely adopted by the Ton-up Boys and Rockers of the 1960s and sponsoring leading TT racers of the day.
The Road Racer Boots No.177 are steeped in the racing tradition. They first appeared in 1977 are were a reworking of the then ten year old Racing Boots. They introduced the quilted front panel, which provided protection with flexibility, the construction was, and remains unique. The two expanding gussets at the calf provide extra ease for wider legs.
These are a great looking boot that have have a cafe racer retro feel, but still hold up to the rigours of contemporary biking. They come in black, or if you’re ballsy enough red or blue, in sizes UK 4 -13.
BARSTOW LEGEND GOGGLES
“Let’s face it: vintage riding gear – boots, helmets, gloves, leather pants – was basic, uncomfortable and, overall… not very safe. Goggles? Same.”
So Barstow set out to produce a vintage style goggle with a contemporary build quality.
The Legend has a slightly more retro look than it’s cousin The Classic, with minimalist frame design and reduced branding. They blend the vintage with the urban and are built to a very high spec with triple layered foam and fleece padding, leather, suede and canvas straps and clear distortion free Dalloz lenses. The upper vents force air in and channel out moisture to reduce fogging.
Barstow have serious bike sport credentials, with names like Kim Boyle, Dimitre Coste, Keith Lynas and Scott Burnworth all sporting their eyewear.
The Legend are comfy and are easy on and off all day with gloves on. They work remarkably well both in the heat and the cold and can be worn both with full face (at a squeeze) and open face lids. They keep out the dust and the rain, and survive the odd skid across the dirt. They’re not expensive either.
Barstow certainly live up to their promise.
ANDOVER NORTON COMMANDO TOOL ROLL.
Now, as some of you close to the Bike Shed will know, I’ve been boring anyone who’s even remotely prepared to listen, (and a few who who weren’t) for months now with the exciting news of my incoming Norton Commando.
I’ll try not to send you to sleep with the tale of how the Commando was the first motorcycle I fell in love with as a seven year old, and how I would get bollocked to within an inch of my young life for drawing it’s sleek, then modern lines, whilst I was supposed to be solving equations.
What I will tell you though is that none of my metric tools work on her. I need AF and Whitworth if I’ve any hope of doing anything.

SEALSKINZ THICK MID LENGTH SOCKS
The never spoken about, but forgotten at your peril, key garment when astride your steed are socks. How many rides have been transformed from a joy to an ordeal because of cold or wet feet? Whether it’s commuting, touring, or blasting around the twisties like Agostini on angel dust, your feet need to be insulated, or sooner or later you’re going to be in trouble.
Sealskinz make a wind and waterproof sock that really does what it says on the packet. What’s really good about these is they’re sleek, not at all like the bulky woolen things your dear old gran knitted that make your boots feel two sizes too small.
These are a thick weight, mid length sock for “….where added insulation is imperative.” They’re totally waterproof, breathable and windproof with merino wool lining for moisture control & comfort. They have an elasticated ankle and insteps that offer support and a comfortable fit. They have a thermal rating of 4 out of a scale of 1 to 5.
Sealskinz employ Aqua Dynamic Design, which encompasses not only Sealskinz 3 layer patented StretchDry product but also the cut and sew ranges and ensures that every sock they make is “engineered for performance, enabling you to stay out longer whatever the activity, whatever the weather.”
These are seriously technical socks, and protect against the elements more than any other sock that I’ve come across. They come at a premium, but in my opinion worth every penny.
