    Manga style for MotoGP Motegi promo poster

    from http://www.twowheelsblog.com/



    This anime poster promotimg this year’s 2012 round of the AirAsia Japanese Grand Prix at Motegi (after last season’s ’should I stay or should I go’ BS by riders following the Fukushima radiation fallout) is one of the best we’ve ever seen and probably depicts several MotoGP riders as we fans believe they are.
    For example, Casey Stoner has that hard thousand yard stare, Valentino Rossi is depicted with his usual smiling but ironic face, Dani Pedrosa looks sort of sad, but highly concentrated, Andrea Dovizioso seems to want to get his hands on factory Yamaha, Nicky Hayden is the happy go-lucky American, Cal Crutchlow, our personal favourite, has that crazy look in his eyes that has endeared him to fans and an uncharacterically scary looking Jorge Lorenzo, the only one missing from the group is Ben Spies. More bad luck or just an oversight?

    la CB 1100 Honda en France !!

    selon Moto Revue :
    la confirmation que la Honda CB 1100 sera disponible dès le mois de novembre chez les concessionnaires Honda. Le tarif, pas encore fixé, tournerait autour des 12 000 euros.
    Présentée au Tokyo Motor Show 2007, Honda n’avait pas encore osé franchir le pas et importer la CB 1100 eu Europe. C’est désormais chose faite. Les amoureux du modèle qui ont fait circuler une pétition il y a deux ans ont donc été entendus.
    À partir du mois de novembre 2012, la moto sera disponible dans les concessions françaises, uniquement en rouge dans un premier temps.
