Haga returns to Yamaha for 2005 10/1/2005 Yamaha has signed popular Japanese rider Noriyuki Haga to complete its line-up for the 2005 Superbike World Championship season. Haga will race a YZF-R1 for the Milan-based Yamaha Motor Italia team, reuniting him with the brand on which he made his name in the late Nineties. The Japanese ace was a Yamaha rider between 1994 and 2001 and during this period he won 11 world superbike races, taking a best championship finish of second in the 2000 season, Yamaha's last year of official participation in the series. Last year Noriyuki rode a privately-entered Ducati to six wins and third in the series, a re…

....with the Dunlops @ the tire tests this week @ Daytona....... where he recorded a 194+ mph trap speed on the back straight yesterday. It ought to be interesting to see how he fairs with the AMA regulars this season.

.....written by Ago himself 8) .......Probably take forever & a year before I see it over here :roll:

Anyone here on some of the Jap sites, particularly the stroker stuff.... Quality comments all round, some sound familiar....

Since he bought that KLR he's been like Lord Lucan. Not on a RTW trip is he? What about his Doohickey though?

Take care in 2005....and keep supporting YamahaClub!

I'm happy - I got all that I was hoping for including a new porting tool, with the flexi-drive attachment for doing the really tricky bits. Juvley ! I hope you all got what you hoped for

I SAT on a Suzuki today! :shock: A brand new one in South Wales Superbikes (Newport) actually...and I quite liked it! :shock: Any idea what it was?

Ok, i've been using Firefox1.0 recently and have found it to blitz IE6 completely, now i'm in the middle of just "trying" out Opera 7, and tbh is very similar in feel to FF but has just a little bit more scope, i'm just wondering what browsers everybody else uses, and please NO AOL

I am very happy indeed, a big kid at heart and I take as little as possible very seriously. To this end I am over the moon to have seen some snowflakles fall to the ground this evening. We are down in the South West or the UK, we don't get a lot really so it's a big thing I wonder how hard the winter will be - loadsa snow please !

....Briefly on his break from testing. Valentino Rossi was finally able to take a break from motorcycles on his return home from an intense Yamaha test at Sepang this weekend. The Italian was back in his native country to take part in the Monza Rally, driving a Toyota Corolla with co-driver Carlo Cassina. Also competing were Rossi’s father Graziano, who had Gauloises Fortuna Yamaha Team Director Davide Brivio as his co-driver, and a host of other VIP riders including Dindo Capello, the 2000 winner of the Le Mans 24 hours and former AC Milan footballer Daniele Massaro.

I got to bed at 7 this morning because i was riding like a twat on the icy roads and came off the bike at around 110mph :/ there was 4 of us, 1 car 1 50cc 1 125 and me, and we were going down a long dual carriage way, the car and 125 went ahead a bit but i was waiting behind the 50 for the engine to get some heat in it, once it was all warmed i opened the throttle right back and blasted it down the dual carriageway (this was at like 1:15 in the morn so nothing else on the roads basically) once i had the car and bike in sight they were side by side so i thought by the time the bike gets past the car i can go blasting past, as i was getting closer i realised the bike wasn…

On the RG500 mailing list, many weird and wonderful things filter through. The main engine difference between Yamaha's RD500 ad the RG500 s that the Yam is a true V4 and the RG500 is a paralell 4. That is..... Until now. One of the guys has created this monster ! A true V4 Suzuki RG500 monster bike, Mark Dent (RG500 god) is getting around 145 horse power, with a completely reworked crank case arrangement, surely this is surpassable ? I don't know but I wish I had the know how and ability do create this... N_Tart, this would keep you happy, much lighter than an R1 and (not confirmed) somewhere around 300bhp per litre...
