Modifikasi Honda GL Pro 1995 ala Ducati Monster

Punya motor Honda GL Pro? Sentuhan modifikasi Abdul Aziz, modifikator dari A1 Modified dari Magetan, ini mungkin bisa jadi inspirasi. Aziz mengaku mencontoh Ducati Monster 696 untuk mengubah tampilan GL Pro 1995-nya. Ciri kental Ducati tetap menonjol dengan 'tulang' yang membentang dari bawa tangki sampai jok berwarna oranye tua.

Tongkrongan Ducati Monster 696 tergambar dari tangki dan kerangka tubular. Meski menggunakan pipa tralis berdiameter 1 inci dan lagi pula tidak berfungsi sebagaimana aslinya di Ducati, ia membuatnya semirip mungkin. Kecuali pipa dari bagian tengah ke belakang bukan sekadar pemanis, tapi punya tugas sebagai pengnuat bodi. Sedang kerangka depan masih bawaan standar.

Inspirasi Monster terus menjelar ke buritan yang menutupi ujung jok, sehingga membuat tampilan menjadi single seater. Sayangnya, finishingnya sedikit kurang rapi karena masih ada celah antara jok dengan buritan yang terbuat dari bahan fiber itu.

Begitu juga dengan cover mesin yang terpaksa harus ditutup karena dapur pacunya sangat kecil. Rancangannya yang kaku, timbul kesan berat di bawah. Kendati begitu, ada terobosan dari Abdul Aziz untuk sistem saluran buang.

Perhatikan desain knalpotnya. Kaki pengendara bisa tersengat panas, justru sudah dieliminir dengan bahan aluminium yang berasal dari komponen mesin foto kopi. "Di dalam mesin itu kan ada tabung roll dari aluminium dan ternyata bagus dijadikan knalpot lantaran tahan panas," ujarnya.

Hebatnya, meski sudah menempuh perjalanan jauh, knlapot masih bisa dipegang. meski diakuinya sedikir rada hangat. Trus, pada bagian depan dikasih radiator-radiatoran. Untuk mdel lampu depan, Abdul terinspirirasi sama Yamaha MT. Sedang lampunya sendiri diambil dari Honda Revo. (sumber: kompas.com)

Hasil Balapan MotoGP Assen Belanda, Valentino Rossi Juara

MotoGP Assen Belanda jadi milik Valentino Rossi, setelah pembalap Fiat-Yamaha itu menuai hasil gemilang. Bersaing ketat dalam 26 lap balapan, The Doctor merebut juara, mengungguli kompatriotnya sesama pembalap Yamaha, Jorge Lorenzo.

Pada race yang digelar Sabtu malam (27/6) WIB, Rossi finis di urutan pertama, diikuti Lorenzo dan pembalap Ducati Casey Stoner. Hasil ini seperti yang terjadi di balapan MotoGP Catalunya dua pekan lalu. Hanya saja, kala itu Rossi merebut kemenangannya setelah berduel dengan Lorenzo hingga tikungan terakhir.

Rossi yang start dari pole tampil relatif dominan. Sempat kehilangan posisi terdepan, The Doctor merebutnya lagi di lap kedua dan sukses mempertahankannya hingga chequered flag dikibarkan.

Hasil ini membuat Rossi untuk sementara memimpin klasemen pembalap MotoGP sendirian dengan 131 poin. Menyusul di belakangnya adalah Lorenzo dengan 126 angka dan Stoner dengan 122 angka.

Sementara di kelas 250cc, juara diraih pembalap Honda, Hiroshi Aoyama. Posisi kedua Hector Barbera dari Aprilia dan ketiga Marco Simoncelli dari tim Gilera.

King Of Pop: Michael Jackson is dead?!

Indeed. It's true. What a shocking and devastating news for me as one of his all-time fan.

I woke up this morning which looks like a peaceful early morning bliss, but as soon as I entered my bro's room I was quite weird why he is suddenly downloading all Michael's song. Then he told me that "Michael Jackson is dead man," and suddenly I was like "WTF? Serious?". I try to search up at Google and the news all around the world, and well...the answer is there. He is gone forever.

Currently, I am watching this superb LIVE coverage from BBC News about Michael's death. Check it out:

Anyway,
I just wanted to say goodbye and rest well to King Of Pop: Michael Jackson. He is one of my favorite artists of all time, and your song never grew tired of me listening to it. May Allah bless him.

I'll be missing his amazing falsetto voice, creative music videos and of course: his superb dance moves.

Here is my favorite music clip for all time:

Lorinser Lexus LS460


Eating “Spätzle” or “Maultaschen” with chopsticks? Unthinkable! The Swabian art of tuning, on the other hand, suits Japanese car building perfectly, as the latest design from Sportservice Lorinser proves. For the first time the designers, who normally make extravagant tailor-made clothing for Mercedes vehicles, ventured to work on an Asian.

The Lexus LS460 is a dynamic vehicle - after all, this five-metre flagship has a floor area equivalentto six Tatami mats and thereby as much as an average Japanese room. Thanks to a refined aerodynamic package from Sportservice Lorinser, the elegant bodywork exudes confidence.
The front apron with the spoiler gives the countenance elegant corners and edges and together with the round fog lights makes it a face in the crowd. On the sides the LS460 shows its muscles thanks to the Lorinser side sills: with dynamic verve they go directly back into the door joint.

The expressive rear is as far from insignificant thinking as the Lorinser company headquarters are from Fujiyama. All the components however, show the bold harmonic understanding of the designer. Emphasis is placed on the one hand on the decent Lorinser rear wing on the boot lid, and on the other hand the hot-blooded rear apron. This does not just accommodate an arched air inlet with a sporty race grill, but also two characteristic double exhaust end tips, which sparkle aggressively in the sun. And the heavy cavalry at the other end of the exhaust unit is ready to go at any time. The V8 has 381 horsepower (280 kW) at its command, which catapults the car from 0 to 100 in 5.7 seconds. All in all it’s a harmonious recipe, which receives its crowning jewel in the form of the attractive light-alloy wheels from Lorinser. More creations should soon follow Lorinser’s first Lexus menu. At the on-site restaurant Mille Miglia, however, guests need not worry about having to eat “Spätzle” with chopsticks in the future.

Seat Ibiza Bocanegra


More details, and confirmed prices, for SEAT’s forthcoming trio of scorching Ibiza hot hatches are revealed today.

The fire-breathing threesome, which are all available to order now with deliveries beginning on 1 October, bring innovative new technology to the sporting supermini segment for the very first time with RRPs starting at just £14,995.

Showcasing SEAT’s engineering prowess, while taking the brand’s sporty design to new heights with the concept car-inspired Bocanegra, the newcomers are poised to inject a serious dose of Latin passion into the compact hot hatch class.

At the heart of all three of these Spanish fliers is SEAT’s mould-breaking new 1.4-litre TSI twin-charged petrol engine which is set up to deliver a potent 150 PS in the FR, and a downright fiery 180 PS in the range-topping Cupra and Bocanegra.

In either state of tune, the four cylinder 1.4-litre TSI uses state-of-the-art supercharging and turbocharging to reach its remarkable peak power outputs, with both forms of forced induction contributing to the engine’s enviably linear power delivery and commendably flat torque curve.

The new FR’s 150 PS version, for instance, provides its 220 Nm maximum pulling power at just 1,250 rpm and continues that right through to 4,500 rpm. Allied as it is to a new, second generation, seven-speed DSG gearbox the engine can propel the lowered, stiffened Ibiza FR from rest to 62 mph in as little as 7.7 seconds and on to a top speed, where legal, that’s comfortably on the exciting side of 130 mph.

Steering wheel-mounted F1-style shift paddles allow the driver to wring every ounce of excitement out of the new, dual dry clutch, Direct-Shift Gearbox which, aside from allowing swifter gear changes than are humanly possible with a conventional ‘box, also improves fuel economy when compared with a standard manual transmission.

Provisional figures show the Ibiza FR’s combined fuel economy stands at 44.8 mpg, while CO2 emissions are put at just 146 g/km.

Predictably, it’s a similar story with the new Ibiza Cupra and Ibiza Bocanegra. Upping the output from the twin-charged 1.4 TSI to 180 PS, while employing the same cutting edge DSG transmission technology and clever XDS ‘electronic differential’ as the FR, this brace of exciting hot hatches is capable of yet more impressive performance.

Both Cupra and Bocanegra will hit 62 mph from rest in a frenetic 7.2 seconds before pressing on, where legal, to a top speed of 140 mph.

Fuel economy for the 180 PS cars is no less impressive, considering the significant performance on offer. Both are provisionally put at 44.1 mpg on the combined cycle, with only fractionally higher CO2 stats than the Ibiza FR at 148 g/km.

All three cars come with a welter of suitably sporty styling features inside and out: unique front and rear bumpers (subtly different on all three models); arch-filling 17-inch alloys of various designs; sports seats and bespoke sports-orientated interior styling are just a few of the things that leave no one in any doubt these are no ‘ordinary’ Ibizas.

When it comes to out-and-out kerb appeal, though, it’s the flagship Ibiza Bocanegra that takes the honours. This exclusively-styled version of the Ibiza Cupra is the work of SEAT design chief Luc Donckerwolke, and brings his 2008 Geneva Motor Show concept car to the road.

Bocanegra (Spanish for ‘black mouth’ – since you ask) draws its styling inspiration from a classic 1970s SEAT which first coined the nickname as a result of its striking black front grille and bumper.

Today’s Bocanegra is no less striking, with a black mask-like effect that gives this model its special personality. Double headlights look like two prominent eyes on the face of the mask, which peer out from a completely black casing. Black also dominates the central grille and its surround, with its spectacular honeycomb mesh, which perfectly coordinates with the innovative air vents beneath.

The middle portion of the bumper is also black, as is the broad lower grille, the latter’s size allowing ample engine cooling. Built-in fog lights are flanked by side air vents finished in black trim to round off the spectacular front end.

There are also black inserts in the lower middle portion of the Bocanegra’s rear, surrounding the prominent, centrally-mounted, trapezoidal exhaust.

Confirmed RRPs for all three models, are:

SEAT UK Ibiza Product Manager, Andy McGregor, said of the trio of range-toppers: ‘The imminent arrival of such a technologically advanced selection of performance hatches is what many Ibiza enthusiasts have been waiting for.

‘The appeal of TSI twin-charger engineering together with, as standard, our brilliant new DSG ‘box – plus the standard fitting of XDS advanced traction control – takes these Ibizas to the top of their class.

‘Adding the striking visual appeal of the Bocanegra means buyers who want the ‘ultimate’ Ibiza should look no further.’
