2017 Ducati SuperSport and SuperSport S revealed


After the leaked press photos from two days ago, Ducati has officially revealed the 2017 Supersport and Supersport S at the Intermot show in Cologne, Germany. Designed as an everyday bike that is easy to handle and comfortable, the SuperSport is for the rider who wants an everyday bike, but with sporty handling.

The SuperSport carries a 937 cc Testastretta 11-degree engine – taken off the Hyperstrada – and tuned to give 113 hp. Standard is the Ducati Safety Pack that combines Bosch ABS and traction control which gives the rider three ride modes, Sport, Touring and Urban.


As Ducati’s take on a versatile “sports-touring” machine, the SuperSport comes with relaxed riding positions for the pilot and pillion, and a height-adjustable windscreen provides wind protection. Fuel is carried in a 16-litre fuel tank, which would allow the SuperSport to cover 200 km rides with ease.

There are two model variants available, the base SuperSport and the SuperSport S. The SuperSport S comes standard with fully-adjustable Ohlins suspension, Ducati up/down quickshifter and a pillion seat cover.


These items can be installed on the base SuperSport and are available from the Ducati Performance catalogue. “Expert riders will appreciate the true sports personality of the SuperSport, its excellent road performance and evident penchant for journeying and everyday use. First time riders will discover versatility, easy handling and, above all, the very essence of sports riding,” said Ducati chief executive officer Claudio Domenicali.

Domenicali also said that the EICMA show in Italy this coming November will see more additions to the Ducati range, during the Ducati World Premiere. “We’ll reveal the other bikes being launched by Ducati this coming year, meeting many of the needs and wants of the riders in our community and those who, thanks to these latest machines, will soon be joining it,” he said.

Yamaha Crossplane Cranshaft

Completely new crossplane crankshaft design to increase the throttle and drive ability by reducing the inertia force. Function   Crossplane design means that each of the crankpins are at a 90° angle compared to the next.  The crankpins are therefore in two planes crossed at 90°, thus the name crossplane crankshaft.  The crossplane crankshaft is designed to reduce inertia torque created by the engine to a minimum.  The torque that a rider feels is a combination of two kinds of torque: the Combustion torque coming directly from the firing of the engine, and the Inertia torque coming from the movement of the parts (such as pistons and crankshaft) inside the engine.  The inertia torque acts as ‘noise’ interfering with the combustion torque and thus throttle feeling for the driver.  Just like music we don’t want to have any cracks, hick-ups or other disturbances to interfere with the quality of the music. In other words we don’t want noise in the music!  With the

Periuk kera mangkuk tandas tupai dan kelawar?

Dalam pelbagai juadah pada musim perayaan Aidilfitri, hidangan lemang periuk kera antara yang menjadi bahan perbualan sejak beberapa tahun lalu. Lemang periuk kera dikatakan lebih enak berbanding lemang buluh yang sudah menjadi kebiasaan dihidangkan Juadah ini dimasak dalam kelongsong periuk kera atau nama saintifiknya Nepenthes Mirabilis dan sangat popular di negeri Pahang dan Johor. Namun di sebalik populariti lemang itu, barangkali ramai yang tidak tahu bahawa tumbuhan periuk kera sedang mengalami ancaman. Dan apa yang wajar diketahui juga, periuk kera  merupakan mangkuk tandas buat haiwan mamalia seperti Kelawar dan juga tupai. Perkara itu didedahkan oleh akaun Twitter rasmi @ZoologiMy yang menyifatkan menghidangkan lemang periuk kera di hari raya bukan pilihan yang bijak. "Lemang Periuk Kera, bukan pilihan yang bijak untuk  musim perayaan," kata @ZoologiMY. Satu kajian baru yang dilakukan oleh sekumpulan saintis dari Universiti Brunei Dar
