Great ride from Crutchlow yesterday to put the Rizla on the top slot at long last . Been quite a few years since someone in the UK has got to grips with the Suzuki even some real big names, and to beat or get anywhere near the likes of Haslam,Kiyo,Greg etc etc is a real acheivement.

HONDA RACING INFORMATION World Supersport and Superbike Championships 2006 Round 2 Phillip Island

American Honda riders Miguel Duhamel and Jake Zemke go into Saturday's Daytona 200 race aiming to give Honda a third consecutive victory in America's most prestigious road race, a record as the first manufacturer to win three 200s on the bounce. The two riders will be equipped with the latest version of the CBR600RR that carried Zemke to victory last year and Duhamel the win in 2005. Duhamel 38, from LaSalle - Quebec, Canada is chasing a record breaking sixth win in the event. Currently tied on five wins with fellow American Scott Russell, Duhamel is a strong favourite of many to use the CBR600RR power to dominate the race but Zemke has tasted victory at…

Is it only me that thinks Toselands Ten Kate Honda looks like it's sponsored by the corner bakery?

... one of our riders, James Ford, has been at the Pre TT at the Billown circuit at the Isle of Man where he rode one of our Yamaha FZ600s to a brilliant 7th place against pukka Yamaha TZ race bikes in the Geoff Duke Race and a superb 5th place on the ex Ray Stringer MEDD Kawasaki 750 in the 4hire post classic senior race. Almost worth missing a trial for........

Great racing again yesterday, looks like the pocket rocket will pull it off this year, seems to have moved up to the level required to be British Champ at last. Kiyo looks like hes blown it but still loads of points up for grabs. Greg cant quite get his speed back but I am sure will be mega strong in the last few races and deserves to be in World Level next year. Think theres a good chance the team will go world next season mainly due to Greg staying this year, cant see why else he would have stayed if he was nt promised WSB next year.

The Canadian Superbike Championship got on going this weekend at Shannonville Motorsports Park. They are offering free video coverage from the www.csbk.ca website, here is a direct link to the Superbike feature race.

BYRNE AVENGES FIRST RACE DISAPPOINTMENT WITH VICTORY NEXT TIME OUT Shane Byrne made amends for the bitter disappointment of a machine problem ruling him out of the opening race of the third round of the MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship while leading as he comfortably took the victory next time out. That victory, his second of the campaign, ensured that the HM Plant Honda rider left the North Yorkshire circuit as the series leader, albeit by only three points over the former MotoGP rider John Hopkins who took second and third placings on his Suzuki. The opening race was delayed by rain, but the weather changed and the race was declared dry, leaving the rider…

Kenan Sofuoglu (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda CBR600RR) leads the world into the third round of the World Supersport Championship after an astonishingly effective start to the 2007 season. Having won one race and finished second in the other, he now enjoys a seven point lead and further proof of how effective the 2007 CBR600RR has been in its first season of competition comes from the fact that third place in the rankings is occupied by well-known championship challenger Katsuaki Fujiwara (Althea Honda Team CBR600RR). An unlucky and occasionally dramatic start to the season by 2005 and 2006 champion for Honda, Sebastien Charpentier (Hannspree Ten Kate …

It alway amazes me that when you see a collection of ‘superbikes’ parked up, the riders when they take their helmets off are ??? really quite old and probably drawing a pension or two. I have to include myself in the ‘quite old’ area but lucky enough to pass as younger so my other half says....bit too risky to argue! A bike dealer friend nodded in the direction of a Ducati 748 just pulling into the parking area of his dealership. Wait until he takes his helmet off my friend said. Man on Ducati stops, side stand gingerly down and he slides off bike standing all hunched the way you tend to in race leathers. This riders were yellow to match the bike (possibly even the colour…

American Honda teammates Miguel Duhamel and Jake Zemke dominated the podium in the opening round of the AMA Superbike Championship with second and third place finishes at Daytona International Speedway.

Although my main interest is trialling, I'm a bit involved in classic road racing. My wife runs Spencer Racing, running bikes mostly with the CRMC. Over the last few years our 1967 Suzuki 200 racer has won the CRMC Classic Ultralightweight Championship 8 times. This season we'll be putting around 15 bikes out on track, mainly in the Junior Production class with Yamaha 600's. We're fielding a couple of bikes in the Aircooled 500 class too, both with the CRMC and BHR. Also running a couple of Honda 125 racers with a new class with BHR.

A massive well done to Ian Hutchinson for winning five races at this years Isle of Man TT. Never been done before! Also, a huge well done to lady racer Jenny Tinmouth for setting the fastest ever lap of the 37.73 mile circuit by a female competitor with and average speed of 119.94 mph. Yes, that's an AVERAGE speed of 119.94 mph over 37.73 miles!!! Pete

Spanish World Superbike at Circuit de la Comunitat Valenciana Ricardo Tormo Sunday April 11 2010 World Superbike and World Supersport race report Round Three Weather: Dry Temperature: 20 to 25 ambient, 29 to 46 track REA TOP FIVE AGAIN AFTER TWO SOLID FINISHES Championship leader Leon Haslam (Suzuki) and Noriyuki Haga (Ducati) took the wins at the third round of the Superbike World Championship but two gritty rides from Jonathan Rea (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda CBR1000RR) put the Northern Ireland rider fifth in the points. Jonathan went sixth in race one, fighting a lack of front-end grip on the notoriously fickle Valencia tarmac. The next best Honda finisher, Max Neuki…
