Thursday Morning Moto News - Luca Scassa, Motus & TZ Tribute R1

We are hearing that Luca Scassa - an up and coming Italian racer who has contested both Italian championships and AMA Pro Racing seasons - has joined a team known as Team Supersonic. They have their hands on Noriyuki Haga's 2009 Ducati 1198 machines, and they are planning to join the World Superbike Championship in 2011, but they may start in 2010 at the first European round...we will soon see.

How about another close - even closer - look at the new Motus Motorcycles MST 1650c.c. Sport Tourer? Well, Cycle World has provided us with one. They may be on to something very good with their new technology approach. I sure hope we get to ride that MST very soon!

And, this one just has to be posted. I read about this custom, one-off build to honor the old TZ dirt trackers (see Kenny Roberts, Sr.). It's all done by Gregg's Customs and they did an awesome job on it! It is light, powerful, great handling and well-built - and it has 160 HP on tap! This is an awesome machine!
