WSS: BE1 Dropping Triumph for Yamaha
World Supersport team BE1 Racing is switching manufacturers from Triumph to Yamaha.
BE1 Racing has been entering the Triumph Daytona 675 in the World Supersport Championship since 2008. The team was negotiating with Triumph Motorcycles to continue their relationship but the two sides have agreed to split after being unable to come to terms.
“I am really very sorry that we haven’t been able to reach an agreement with Triumph for the 2011 season because we have put so much into the project and the team was ready to push for the championship. It has been three intense years and Triumph will definitely remain in my blood. I want to thank Triumph management and I wish all the best to everybody in the factory and those subsidiaries that have trusted in the racing project. Now it’s time for my team to start a new venture.”
That new venture will be based around the Yamaha YZF-R6 with BE1 racers Chaz Davies and Luca Scassa racing under the Yamaha ParkinGO banner. The new arrangement will mark the return of Yamaha to the Supersport class. The Yamaha R6 last raced in the class in 2009 with Cal Crutchlow winning the championship. Yamaha Europe will supply BE1 with race bikes and Yamaha genuine racing parts.
“This is a great opportunity for officially supported R6 machinery to return to the World Supersport Championship,” says Laurens Klein Koerkamp, Yamaha Motor Europe racing manager. “The R6 is a winning machine which, after taking the World Supersport Championship in 2009, has continued in 2010 with many national titles alongside the European Superstock 600 Championship title, despite not competing at world level. It is our belief and our vision that in today’s circumstances supporting a private team with the materials needed to compete is the appropriate involvement in World Supersport for a manufacturer.”
As for Triumph, the British manufacturer was hoping to showcase its new Daytona 675R with BE1 Racing. The provisional 2011 World Supersport entry list includes three Triumph Daytona 675 entries, but it is not yet clear whether Triumph will redirect its factory support to one of them.
“We had intended to continue our collaboration with BE1 Racing this season, to challenge for the title with the new Daytona 675R, but unfortunately when we came to the final contract negotiations it became clear that our respective business plans were not compatible,” says Paul Stroud, Triumph’s sales and marketing director. “We have spent the past few months trying to find a solution to allow us to work together, however with the new season just around the corner and the livelihood and careers of the BE1 Racing staff and riders at stake, we felt that the best option is to end our partnership and for BE1 Racing to enter the 2011 season with another manufacturer.”
Major Motorcycle Rallies for 2011
In the off season, many riders like to plan rides to various motorcycle rallies. I have just updated my motorcycle rally article and schedule for 2011 to assist you.
Motorcycle rallies (biker rallies) are simply gatherings of riders and motorcycles at specified times and places usually with attendant vendors, food, games, and other activities.
Motorcycle rallies or biker rallies may last from a day to more than a week. Some major motorcycle or biker rallies are built around organized professional motorcycle races.
Motorcycle rally attendance varied widely from a low of a couple of dozen riders or less to huge organized rallies with hundreds of thousands of riders.
My updated article, Motorcycle Rallies (Biker Rallies) - Major Rallies for Motorcycles, gives basic information about motorcycle rallies. The second page of this article contains my list of the top motorcycle rallies.
The picture shows me raising my arm after I parked my bike on Main Street at the 1993 Sturgis Rally. That was the year of the great Midwest floods.
2011 Yamaha YZF-R6
Yamaha YZF-R6
The developement targets for the 2011 Yamaha R6 are to be the most exciting bike to ride on the track and the most fun sport bike to ride on winding roads. The engineers tweaked the mid range performance last year but don’t worry, the high rpm rush that has made the Yamaha R6 famous is ready when you are. Confidence, agility, performance and most importantly fun.
Track ready. Street smart.
The 2011 Yamaha R6 is designed to do one thing extremely well: get around a race track in minimal time. It’s about a screaming, 15,000 rpm plus fuel injected four cylinder engine in a taut chassis that lets it snap from upright to full lean instantly. Oh year: It’s a great street bike too.
The R6 is a showcase of Yamaha’s latest sport bike technologies.
From the YCC-T fly by wire throttle to the MotoGP inspired straight frame design, to Yamaha’s exclusive electronically variable intake stacks, the R6 is designed to take super sport riding to a whole new level.
